Memory lane

Give me a Memory

I saw this post on every one's blog over the last month and thought it would be fun to try it out here. I didn't get to a lot of your blogs before you moved onto more stuff (you all are so much better then me when it comes to posting). SOOOO if you leave me a memory that you have of the two of us I will send one that I have back.

Here is what you do...

1. Add a comment on my blog, leave one (or 2 or 3...) memories that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.

Have fun and if you stop by leave a comment. I love hearing from all of you!!!

Bubbles

The other day we were at Target (a treat for us because it is 45 miles away) and as we walked past the bra section Madie said, "I wish I had big bubbles!"

Also, when I changed my layout I somehow deleted all of my links. Leave a comment so that I can put you back on my friends list.

The new addition

Well the new addition this summer is Rocky... he is lovable, dopey, and manages to store sand in his jowls until he gets inside the house and then gets rid of it... damn dog!

The big 32!

Big Luke's birthday isn't until the 18th but we celebrated it yesterday because of work schedules. We were going to make him a nice dinner and a cake. The kids and I were at the store and we had just about everything that we needed for the dinner and then we passed the bakery... the kids saw a Kung fu Panda cake and insisted that dad would Love it! He got new church clothes and Dodger tickets. I'm pretty sure that the Dodger tickets were a much bigger hit then the clothes... Men!

Anniversary... the big 10

For our 10th anniversary we renewed our vows a few months ago. Our actual anniversary is August 1st. We decided to keep it pretty low key since we had already done the renewal... so this is what we did...

OK so I'm not really the creative date. I was thinking dinner and a movie. Luckily I wasn't in charge. When we got in the car I was promptly blind folded (Luke was nice enough to drive slowly as to avoid car sickness). We drove for a little while and then he said that I could remove the blind fold. We pulled up to the ranger station of Joshua Tree National Park. As we pulled in the ranger said "I need to talk to you" as she was looking at me. I assumed at this point that she saw me blindfolded and was going to ask if I was ok. She leaned over and presented me with a bouquet of sunflowers. (insert ahhhhh). We preceded into the park to a picnic area. Luke walked me up to our picnic table and then went back to the car. He had gotten takeout from a local Italian place, sparkling cider, fancy cake, and music. He even remembered to bring our song so we could dance to it. It was wonderful. He really made our anniversary special.

Birthday Boy

Little Luke's birthday was in July. We did a surprise birthday party for him. It was lots of fun. His cousins Jason, Christa, Shannon, and Aunt Gina and Uncle Allen made it to the party too. It was great to have a little visit with them. Our friends,
Suzy and Bob Dick, let us use their beautiful pool for his party.

Where to begin!!!

Luke did a six week tennis camp. He showed much improvement by the end. The coaches were great. We were very happy that he was able to participate.


Madie LOVES ballet!! Everyday we here "do I have ballet today?"

Sorry about the neglect. We have been busy this summer with swimming, reading club, ballet, tennis, birthdays, and an anniversary. We also added a new addition to the family... Rocky (a crazy, loveable boxer).

Still alive

Its been a busy summer! I will post some pictures soon.
