Autumn has Fallen!

Fianlly! Cooler temps, and ability to open windows! I have to say I love this Arizona weather right now! :) Lots to update! My sister Laura and her hubbie Matt are expecting a little girl in March and my brother Mike and his wife Megan are expecting in April although we do not know what it is yet! ( I think girl!) Laura is on bed rest right now until further notice, but baby is great! I just love all these babies! I love being an aunt! Spencer still hopes for some boy cousins though! ;) Haley gets her license this Friday! She is a great driver though I still worry about her being able to operate a machine that can cause so much harm to herself and others if not careful! I am sure she will be fine! :)

Happy fall everyone!

Finally Friday!

Am I allowed to even say that? ha! I have only worked 3 days this week due to vacation time! Gotta love these 3 day work weeks! I was sad to find out that a little girl whom I got very attached to while working for Banner - passed away. She was 5 years old. She was so sweet and so comical! She would pull her leads of to get her monitors to beep so she we would come in the room to play with her! She also found her "call" button and would push it often to get us to come in! I remember that I bought a book all about Princess shoes for her to take with her when she went home. She had a trach and feeding tube, and ultimately she closed off her tube in the middle of the night and passed away. Not sure how a parent forgets to hook up their childs monitor when they go to bed, especially when the life of the child depends on it, but I try not to judge! Still sad though! :( She is resting with God now - happy and healthy!

Party for Spencer tonight with the family, then a kid party next weekend, and we can officially call his birthday over for this year! Might be hard to live up to this one next year! :) HA!

DISNEYLAND HERE WE COME!

We decided to surprise Spencer with a trip to Disneyland for his 8th birthday! I am so excited to be able to take him there with his friend Zory! He was so surprised to find out that is why we were going to Cali - not to just see Grandma - like we told him!

3 weeks is a long time!!

Ok, so Spencer has been gone just over a week in Minnesota with my parents! I miss him so much! I am home alone today- Dave has to work - and I keep waiting for him to come in any minute and ask me to make him Toad in a hole!! (Eggs in the middle of bread) but alas, it is just me and JoJo! She is depressed too! Looking in all the rooms for the kids!! :( Oh well, it will be just two more weeks and then he will be back! Guess I will just have to settle for phone calls and emails!!

Kate







Can I just say that some of my favorite moments are those spent with my new niece Kate! Her faces and laughter and even her little tantrums are the cutest ever!!! I get to go babysit her tonight after I called and told Mike and Megan to go to a dinner and movie so I could watch her!! I will get some more cute pics, read stories and play! She is so special to me! I have been waiting forever to be an aunt - and I am loving every minute Add Imageof it!

Busy Busy Busy!

Why does it seem like there is never enough time to do everything I want to do! Almost the end of the school year, and due to work overload I have had to drop my classes and retake them in the fall. The kids are getting ready to be done with school, Haley is turning 16 and driving, Dave and I are crazy busy with work while trying to fit in church, Spencer's Little League games, and every other little thing that comes up during the week! :) We love our kids and the challenges and we are so thankful to be busy and happy! That is all the truly matters in the end!

I hope to get some great pics up here in the next day or two!

Ok, so I am horrible at this! I have been slacking to say the least! Let me see how I can get you caught up! Madyson is going to be starting a Teen Yoga class in Scottsdale in April, which she is very excited for! She is also going to be starting voice lessons next week in Mesa. Spencer is active in Cub Scouts and we have a banquet this weekend for that! He is also now in Little League and Uncle Matt (Laura's husband) is one of his coaches, which he loves!!! :)
Dave is busy with Spring Training starting for the Giants, and I am still nuts with two classes, two labs, and a full time job! :)

Will try to get some pics on here soon!
