Five for Friday!

I know it's been a while since my last post. I have been on vacation. Lucky for me only 2 people read my blog and 1 of them was with me on vacation and the other I talk to everyday on the phone. I have a lot to post and Pictures to come of our trip to Palm Springs, but for now I will post my 5 for the week.

1) Sawyer and I have been in San Diego for a week and a half, we are really enjoying our time here. We spent a week in Palm Springs with Paul's family, swimming, playing games, hanging out, eating, bowling and , much more. It was so much fun to be with everyone.

2) On our trip we had a family bowling tournament, every adult was paired with a child and we bowled 2 games. Since there were not enough children I was nominated as a child for the day. I got to be paired with Paul's brother Daniel. To make the tournament a little more interesting the winners got to take home 2o bucks. We had a great time watching all the kids bowl, the kids were amazing. It was so much fun to see how excited they were to knock the pins down. If seeing Sawyer dance after every throw wasn't enough, Daniel and I ended up winning. No thanks to me. I'm worse than the kids. Good job Daniel.

3) Since we were in Palm Springs most of our time was spent swimming at the pool. All of the kids love to swim, except Sawyer. It was a challenge even getting him in the pool. We finally forced him in the 3rd day. He wasn't happy at first but gradually warmed up to the idea, and by the end of the trip he was out in the middle of the pool by himself ( with his floaty suit of course ). He did however LOVE the water slide and would have been on it all day if he could have talked his aunts and uncles into taking him on more than they already had.

4) We were blessed each day to have a big home cooked breakfast courtesy of my mother-in-law Val. I LOVE breakfast and her potatoes, apple pancakes, and Christmas rolls are some of my favorites. Thanks Val for all your hard work on our trip. We had some great dinners as well. Each night one of the ladies would make dinner for everyone. We had, tacos, spaghetti, burgers, pizza, chicken, enchiladas and more. It was so much fun getting to spend that time with everyone, eating and playing game, thanks to Athena for the Pina Coladas they were sooooo good.

5) I also got to break our big news to everyone. Getting to tell the family that the Lord has blessed us with another baby was so exciting. We had known for a couple weeks, and it was KILLING me not being able to tell them. It's so nice to finally have everyone know and be able to share in this special time with us. We are still very overwhelmed at the Lord's kindness, and goodness in our life, and are daily thanking him for this precious life he has blessed us with.


Well there they are my 5 for this week and a few highlights of our week. I will post a more detailed account of our trip with pictures soon. Hope everyone had a great week. Enjoy your weekend!
