Good times!

I got this idea from my sister, Julie Ann. I'd love it if my readers would leave a fond memory you have of the two of us.If you blog, do the same and I'll go to your blog and leave a memory.This should be fun.

Sushi among other things

So! I was recently able to try sushi for the first time ( everything in it was cooked). It was actually really good. I want to go back and try it again.


Trying to escape the topic of food.... We are moving, OUT OF QUEEN CREEK!!!! I know you all think we must be out of our minds moving all over like this,but the gas prices are high, the commute has gotten old and the timing is just right!

FOOD.....

I AM HUNGRY!!!!!!!

Ruth's Chris Steak House......YUM!!

OK... I can never get the pictures in the order I want them so oh well. At least there is pictures to see :). For our 7 year anniversary (may 19Th) someone anonymously sent us a 100$ gift card to Ruth's Chris Steak house!! We had never been because it was so expensive so you can imagine what a treat this was for us. My bro-in-law and his wife also received one for their 6 year anniversary and wanted to go together, along with my sis-in-law and her husband. My sister came over with her 5year old son to watch Austin, Brooklyn and my nephew Hayden. It was great to have a fancy evening with all adults. Thanks big sis!! The pictures are of my stuffed chicken(best ever!), pecan crusted sweet potatoes( tasted better than candy) and banana cream pie. The food and company was great!

June 15th

Well, I haven't been in the mood to blog, but I know I need to.

Father's Day- Ryan is a great Dad, he loves to teach the kids new things and be so silly with them, he works very hard to make sure that our kids have everything they need and want. It is obvious by the look in their eyes that he means the world to them.


I love my Dad. Although he hasn't been able to be around much in the last few years he has been a great example to us. He is patient ,understanding and strong. I
know that he is always there for me if
I need him.
My father-in-law has also been great.
He is supportive and caring. He is always
able to put a smile on my face no matter
what's going on.
This day was also Carol's Birthday. I think of her everyday. her love for us
and her smile. I really miss her but I know she is happy where she is.
I am also grateful for my Step-Father
Ed. We are not that close but he is one of the sweetest men I know and goes great lengths to take good care of my Mother, and for that I am so grateful for him.

Her name is Maggie and she....

got a new pair of shoes! Thank you for all your name suggestions, but Maggie seems to fit! For those of you that know us, we have had alot of different cars. This car is by far my favorite one yet!

My New Ride!!!

This is my new(new to us:) car! A 2005 Dodge Magnum. It is fully loaded with Leather interior and nice speakers! Ryan is counting down the days till he can go have some new shoes put on her ;). She rides great and saves me lots of money compared to my last beast that took all my money for gas. My father-in -law always names his cars....anybody have any suggestions?!
