10 year anniversary

This year for our 10 year wedding anniversary we went to Horseshoe Bend, Idaho to experience zip-lining and to ride the train. We had a great time. I liked zip-lining from tree top to tree top and across the canyon. Andy enjoyed his scenic train ride. The man behind Andy is the magician. I loved the tricks when he made animals appear. He even did a special trick for us for our 10 year anniversary, which I must say was rather impressive. It was a card trick where I picked any card and he made it pop up from the deck when placed in a goblet. What amazed me most was that I had picked the 10 of clubs to signify another 10 years of good luck. He knew I would pull out that card, but I was careful to pull out a card that was hidden in the middle of the deck. I saw the top two, and knew the ace of spades was on top and the 2nd card was red. I don't have any idea how he did it, but I was impressed. He autographed that card for us.

Happy Birthday to ME

I took the kids to the Easter Egg Hunt at my work today. They all filled their buckets to the brim, without any help. Sabian won 2 big prizes. Adora got the last egg. When all the other kids decided they had all been found, Adora was crawling under the eaves to reach the last egg.

After the egg hunt we all came back to my house for my birthday party. Hooray!

Andy gave me wii fit for my birthday. We all had fun playing on it. My mom made me a fun wrap around skirt. My brother Robby even made me an apple pie! Naomi made my german chocolate birthday cake with only a little guidance from my mom. Robby and Steven say they have something else for me too, but they left it home, so I am to remain in suspense until it is delivered to me. Oh, well, I like surprises. I'm feeling the love. I don't see why anyone dreads birthdays. Time passes reguardless, but birthdays to me are a time when I am reminded people love me and they are glad I'm still around.

Family pictures 2008

We did a super family theme this year, which I thought was a lot of fun. My decision was mostly made by a fatigued mind that said I could get all the clothes cheap and easy since superman stuff is everywhere. Every year we get pictures, most of the money is spent on new clothes. This year it was a quick one stop shop at walmart for everyone except Sabian who found Jammies at the mall.

Why is it so impossible to get a family photo with every kid looking at the camera and smiling?

After the third time of not listening, we had to give up on telling Naomi to put her feet back down. As an afterthought, perhaps we should have had her take her shoes off so we didn't have to stare at the bottom of her shoe.
