It was a great lunch for mother's day eve! I enjoyed it.

Brian's home from hospital!!

Brian was released from the hospital today and is back to his "home!"

He is well and will be fine. It is less than 4 weeks until he is expected home. Thank you to all for your prayers and kind words. I know he is still with us because of our faith and prayers. Our loves goes to all of you. May the Lord continue to bless us all!

Realizing what's important

Today I got a call from Brian telling me he was in the hospital. He was in a group that was attacked by 107mm rockets. (I've been informed they are huge) He was unconscious for a while. He will be fine. He's bruised but otherwise intact! He has to pass a memory test on Mon(he failed today's). Things could have been so much worse. It makes you stop and evaluate your life and how important the things we take for granted are. I have thanked my Heavenly Father countless times today for the gift of still having Brian. I would be lost without him. He is the center of our world.

I love you more than chocolate, lovey!

That's the biggest smile you'll ever catch on camera!

Before he left 15 months ago

Shying from the camera. No that's not snow, it's SAND!! yuck

Brian is the best friend I could ever ask for. I don't know what I did in heaven to deserve him but I will take it. These next few weeks will seem to go slow until he gets home towards the beginning of June.

Pedi's

Kassidy did not have school last Fri so we decided to girly it up for the day!

We went and got pedicures. Well, I did and the girls got theirs painted. They were in heaven

and walked around on their heels the whole time they waited for

me so they wouldn't mess up their toes!

(In fact when church came around on Sun Abbey cried as we picked out church shoes. Then she told me it is because she wanted everyone to see her toes! So she was allowed to wear pink flip flops that day)

Aren't they so cute?! Notice in the middle if each flower is a little jewel. Surprisingly they are still in there and today is tues! I love my little girls they are the perfect balance of girly girl and rough and tuff!

Spoiled by SPAM

So I recieved a random spam comment and am thinking of blocking my webpage to those that I love. I like the fact that people from the past can check me out and say hi but I don't want crazy perfume sites posting either. Does anyone have suggestions? If I block it is there a way to have those that want to peek send me a request or something?

HELP

Disney again

I was gone to WA for a week getting things in order and helping my super sweet friend. The day after I got home we all left to Disneyland to celebrate my aunt Robin's birthday. We had a fast and fantastic time. Abbey did not feel well but was an absolute trooper.

Abbey with Brother Bear

Dopey

We had lunch with the princesses. There were 5 we met. This was one of the many excited faces we got to witness as the paraded out one by one and came to our table to talk to the girls. This face was worth everything!

Get that sword out girl

The girls were loving that they met Ariel. I had shots of Abbey in heaven but this one of Kassidy is pure joy. She was mesmerized by her and how kind she was.

As were were walking through the park the girls asked when Brian was going to bring them back. you could take them everyday and they would never get tired. I was talking with Kass and told her that we can't come all the time because then it's not as fun anymore. so she said, "yeah, then you won't keep saying, 'we've already done that before'." She is one funny and observant girl. I love her.

Swim lesson

We started swim again. Abbey is so excited. She might be the most excited about her swim suit and goggles. For some reason this pict looks fake like I cut her and pasted her on a pool pict. It is real, she's just glowing cause she so darn cute!

The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades!

Swim started last week while I was gone to WA. Thanks to my family for picking up as if I weren't gone and keeping the flow going. You are the best.
