Misty Morning Mountains

For the last couple weeks, we have had unusually cool weather and drippy, rainy days.  I love this reprieve from the heat.  The summers can get up to 110 on my little froggy thermometer outside my kitchen window. Here is the view that greeted me this morning when I went out to get the paper.

We had our quarterly launch at Premier!  Body Pump rocks!  3 awesome ladies and myself, got to "bring it" with Body Pump release #86.  I am so glad I get to teach for such a great company.  :-)

My Hair!!!

This is not funny but you might laugh.  It is OK. You are not a terrible person for laughing at my little mishap.
I have a nice new haircut that I got from the lovely gals at the local beauty college.  I was drying my hair with the blow dryer and setting up my flat iron for the straightening process.  I got all finished drying and took the flat iron and flattened one piece of my hair...
And smelled the worst smell!  My hair got burnt!   Right after the burning, it smoked and got all fuzzy and it is still fuzzy two days later.
Also, my flat iron gave up the ghost at the same time and died.  Sigh.   Not fun when beauty tools do not make you beautiful!!!
There is my news for the day.  I hope you have a happy blessed day, and I will too, in spite of my fuzzy strip of hair.
HUGS!

Sarah's appendix burst in 2010

Here are some pics from the appendix issue Sarah had.  Doctors and nurses alike can only say what a miracle it is that Sarah is still with us.  She had her appendix burst on a Tuesday and we didn't figure out what was wrong until Friday.  

Thank you God for saving my baby!!!

The nurse gave her a unicorn!  Awww!

We were totally blessed with an isolation room for Sarah's 5 day visit.  

Bruising from the i.v.'s

Left a nice scar for bragamonies later on

Little Librarians

For the past few summers, the girls have been volunteering at the library.  (It is Sarah's favorite place to hang out.  She is always asking if anyone wants to go with her to the Library!)
They participate in the summer reading program and get free prizes for reading books.  I personally don't think they need anymore encouragement to stick their nose in a book.
They love volunteering and helping out our awesome children's librarian.

3+ decades old pics!

Here are pics I ran across of Frank and his sisters.  Aren't they the cutest?!?

Emperor's Palace

As a celebration for Rachel's long awaited braces, our family went out to eat at Emperor's Palace, one of our 3(I think) Chinese restaurants in town. They offer sushi and little octopus(es?)!

Frank love his chopsticks!

You EAT this?

(Sarah did a great job grossing out her sisters.  I doubt she would have eaten it whole if they weren't there.)

 It was a great time and I have the pics to prove it. Enjoy!

Bragamony!

OK.  I have to brag on Rachel here.  She finished up her first class in college with a 102%!  So proud!!!

A New Blog

Hi friends and family!  I am trying out blogging to keep all of you updated on all that we have going on here in the beautiful desert southwest.
Hope you enjoy our future posts.
Now that the girls are old enough they will be writing posts of their own.
The most recent thing that happened in our family was...
Rachel got her braces on!!!
