An outing with the ladies!

We have the coolest park by our house..we had so much fun taking our little gals there yesterday. It doesn't have any swings or slides or anything, but you can ride bikes all over, there are tons of different trails to ride on. They have a running stream and a big lake with ducks and you can fish. They have a place to dig for dinosaur bones, it's seriously cool! It was our attempt at trying to take advantage of the last bit of somewhat cool weather!

Welcome home Minda!

We are so happy to have Travis' sister Melinda home at last! She has returned home from serving her mission in Orlando, FL! We are so proud of her and are so excited to have her back!

A Cruise is the life for me!

Wow, I bet you guys were sick of looking at that last post! Trav & I were fortunate enough to cruise the Eastern Caribbean with my parents, Misti & Jared, and Wendi & Scott..we truly had the time of our lives! Our excuse was to celebrate my mom and Scott's birthdays, but mostly to have a vacaction from our children and everyday life! Thx so much to all those who helped out with our girls, I am so blessed to have the best family! Our travels took us to Nashville, Orlando, Port Canaveral, the Bahamas, St. Thomas, St. Maarten, and last but not least Pittsburgh! Most of us were first time cruisers, and got used to that life real quick! We relaxed, slept in, played lots of volleyball, played games, did a lot of dancing (yes, I even got Trav to dance with me!), ate lots of ice cream, and enjoyed lots of fine dining on the boat..we para-sailed in the Bahamas, saw the sights and snorkeled Sapphire Beach in St. Thomas, and shopped in beautiful St. Maarten! I was so spoiled being able to have Trav all to myself, no work, no phone calls, no cleaning, no laundry, and no cooking! Like a honeymoon all over again!! A little time away is always good, now I'm ready to be home and be a mom again! We truly had the adventure of a lifetime and I'm so grateful for all we were able to experience! AMAZING!
