2011

Well I have not posted to this site for quiet some time.  Life is good....I have been doing quiet a bit of volunteer work such as sitting on various committees, boards and advocacy groups.  Hoping to have some input on how and what services are offered and delivered to individuals with Developmental disabilities.  I have spent the past 14 years working for and with some of the most amazing individuals who have truly inspired me and taught me that there is nothing more valuable that a positive relationship, friends and the simple things in life.
Our family is doing well Cole is getting ready to sign up for baseball and still doing Hip Hop.  Macy is enjoying kindergarten and will be playing T-ball this year.  Jake will be graduating in June from Ohio State!!  Go Buckeyes!!  Mike is working on re-designing our shop.  I will hopefully have some photos to share soon!!

Macy had a tea Party!!

Macy and I found some china that was my grandmothers and we washed it all and decided to have a tea party.  She was so excited and had a great time.

Fun with Sam

Lillian and Big Sam went to the Olympic's and we had little Sam for a few days. We had a good time and I took a few pic's to share.

Paulina Lake for New Years!!!!!!

We went to Lake Paulina with friends over New Years!! It was an amazing trip!! The kids had a great time and the adults were not lacking in the good times either. Lots of food, drink and snowball fights. Looking forward to going back this summer and again for New Years next year! Jordyn and Cole got a visit from the tooth fairy 3 teeth lost total over that trip. We are so lucky to have such amazing friends with amazing kids.........Here are a few pic's from our trip!

The kids Birthday Party!

We are so grateful to have so many amazing friends and family. It is always a hectic crazy day but it is always nice to see everyone. The kids had a great time! Mike and I just get bummed that we either don't get a chance to visit with everyone and/or not long enough. Thank you to everyone who was there to celebrate with us.

The kiddo's at swim lessons

We made it home from Europe!!

We all had a great time. I will post a few pic's. We first stayed in Prague in old town square. We went to the Prague castle, went on a jazz boat at night to see the city and of coarse the Charles bridge. We also went to a torture museum it was really interesting. Then railed to Vienna where we saw St. Stephen's church and went on a boat cruise in Veinna to Melk where we visited a famous historical Abby. Of coarse had to go to a classical concert in Vienna. Then we railed to Munich where the train station was closed and this German man that spoke no English kicked us off in an unknown place. They I guess thought there might be a bomb in an unattended bag in Munich so they shut everything down. So we found a nice person that worked on the train to help up figure what subway to take with all our luggage. We visited Dachau the first concentration camp in Germany that was very tough to see but an important part of history. Watched the famous glockenspiel. Went to the mountains to see a few Barvarian towns and then up to the castle that Walt Disney used it as their trade mark. Of coarse that day it was pouring rain and freezing so I got out of line walked down the path soaked and got a coffee in town and just waited for everyone. They couldn't believe that I went all the way there and I copped out. But I was cold and miserable so I didn't care. I will post more details later tired and trying to get caught up on life.....
