Nathan Home to Arkansas

The kids and I have been home since October 13th for the craft fair and some hospital education that I have to catch up on. So, it's about time my hubbie come see me for the wkend! Of course he's been in Sacramento working long hard hours!

It's our anniversary on Monday, November 3rd! A wonderful 7 years with 2 great kids. I feel very blessed!

A visit with Bessie!

We love visiting Bessie! Such a dear lady at 101! What great stories she has to tell. I love listening to them all! Her mind is amazing! The kids, of course, love the ice cream! We miss her while we are away on our work travels! It's cute how Mariah recongnizes her and gives her loves when we come!

Sharing and Big Discussions

Sharing his apple! Mariah is at that stage of wanting what 'bubby' has!

Big discussion about manners...'what do you say, Mariah?' "Peas!"

Kaleb and Elva's Birthday!

Kaleb and Elva share a birthday! So after being out at the farm celebrating Kaleb's bday, we took Ms. Elva a piece of cake! She enjoyed time with the kids and we enjoyed our time with her. What a dear lady!

Back to Arkansas

Today I fly back to Arkansas. I have a craft fair coming up this wkend where I have a booth selling Mia Bella Candles. I set up on Thursday afternoon and the craft fair is from 9a-9p, Friday and Saturday! Talk about some long days! The kids will be off having fun with family and friends. My sister flies in to help me Thurs night! YAY!!! She is the best! She is organized and knows just how things need to be done. Thank you sissy for being the best!!! We always have fun together!

Lunch with Friends

Valerie, Shawna, Aunt Laura, Shana, Aunt Edith, and ?

Levi, Dylan, Kaleb and Mariah

What a fun day! The ladies met for lunch and did the usual...gabbing! Of course the kids had to have their fun too! Mariah ended up eating the some ..We had to call poison control during lunch but thankfully everything turned out fine. A scare at first because I didn't even know it was a poisonous plant.

RV Fun

We were able to spend some special time with Becky Hapner....so great to see her.

San Francisco

I returned from Arkansas to Sacramento on Sept 19th...about 3 weeks away! It was so nice to be home but now I have a visit from my lovely sister and brother-in-law on Sept 20th! We stayed at Gpa Ron and Nana Sandy's since they are less than an hour from the city. Nana kept Mariah for the day while Nathan took us on a tour of San Fran. He lived here, before we met, for a couple of years so it's fun to ride around with someone who knows the city so well...leave it to my husband. We covered lots of ground and saw some of the major sites...David and Audrin had never been here before. We ended the night having some sushi followed by seeing the Golden Gate Bridge. Fun Times!

Happy 10 months!

Dad and Kathleen in Arkansas

Kaleb, Mariah and I flew home from Sacramento on August 28th...we will be home a few weeks. Rogers convention is coming up soon. Dad and his girlfriend, Kathleen, came to Arkansas August 29th and stayed through the weekend (Sept 1st). Grandpoppy had fun playing with the kids and fixing my lawn mower...don't know if that was really called fun. Any how...it was nice to get acquainted with Kathleen a little more. Kaleb has loved playing tennis! We've been playing back in Sacramento with the Bryan kids; Chris and Shawna Richtsmeier; and several others. Sometimes Nathan and I will take Kaleb over to the tennis courts at the gym and hit balls. It's a fun family outing during the week after Nathan's work. Mariah loves playing in the daycare since her space is limited in the RV!!! =)

Boys will be Boys!

Levi and Dillion with Kaleb; California

I can't believe we finally got them to sit! They were little monkeys today! So fun to see them play so well together! I see Mariah in this picture in her car seat! Poor girl! I think she was about done getting run over by these boys!!! =) Thanks for a good time! Glad Kaleb has some little boys his age around here!

Pool Side

Nathan went to Forrie's bachelor party in Lake Tahoe this weekend. Audrin drove down for Oregon to visit us and we ended up going to Nathan's dad's company party! Lots of people but we enjoyed the pool time! The party was at his Uncle Steve's house....beautiful!

The vegetation and scenery and his Uncle Steve's home in California!

Happy 30th Birthday, Nathan!

I surprised him with a date alone to a steak/seafood place. Then to Darren and Maria's where a few came to help celebrate! Joe and Shana - Chloe and Elijah; Jim and Laura; Chris and Shauna; Darren and Maria! What a fun evening!

Happy 9 months old!

Trailer Fun

WRESTLE TIME WITH DAD and BUBBY!

Driving the RV...Big stuff! They loved honking the horn but don't think our neighbors were to fond of it!
