look how cute ette and aaron are.

the race car seat that nearly made me cry.

the cutest couple ever

these dune buggy seats were hours and hours, but the customer was thrilled.

another view of the race car seat, he loved it.

to the lake we go

we went to laughlin and back yesterday in marios boat. the best part was the gorge of course though.

petroglyphs behind the jumping rock

under the bridge at topok. is is so cool up here.

jazmin jumping off the cliff. it was freaking cold.

okay, rachel. here is a pic for you. i am now a size 7/8 and bordering a 6. exercise is worth it. not a great pic, but you get the idea. big change from last year.

jule and owen love to practice their moves on eachother. the trampoline is a softer landing place.

robin i am here.

so you want a new blog. i will post pics soon. my camera is either dead or i bought a bum battery. that is soon to be discovered, but in the meantime all is well or at least appears to be. we are working like crazy but the boys are gone to erics for 3 weeks so i am taking full advantage of the extra time to not cook and whatnot. i have been working out in all of my free time and the results are worth it. i am happy with myself again (finally), and am working on being more explosive now. i am having a hard time eating enough calories to sustain this much excersize though so i have to get on that so i don't look like a gross person and loose too much weight. no one wants their veins to pop out. our sensie from the arevelo academy will be in cambodia for the next 2 weeks so today is my last private lesson for a bit. the fighters will be leading my regular class so that will be fun. they always push us really hard which is great. i have to get my work boards reorganized in the next couple of days because i have to showboat for referralls thurday and it is time to get some new pics up anyway. so all in all, i am a crazy person staying busy, but its always been like that anyway. so, i guess all is normal.

alive and well.

we are working our butts off but we are alive and well. owen and jule are with me for the summer because their dad doesn't have help to watch them this year. ian is having a blast fishing and hiking daily and is also learning to shoot a few guns. owen and jule just completed kung fu camp and will attend tournament camp at the martial arts academy in a couple of weeks. they will go to a tournament in vegas the weekend after the camp. should be interesting. we have been working 7 days a week and will leave today (i am hopeing soon than later) to see jovi in ventura. i am really excited because it has been 5 years since i have seen her and have never met zion or liel. in other news, i have lost all of my excess weight now and am trying to become a bad ass mother. i am enjoying my core training class more that i thought i would and am thinking of starting some of the fighting classes as well. we will see if the times work out for my schedule. mike is going to wyoming at the end of the month to see his grandmother and mom and jazmin will be out this summer to visit.

the south has risen

i was totally impressed with the effort put into this monstrosity. it reminds me of mississippi.

boating trip

sunday we went to the lake and mario took his boat out. we all went on a short ride to copper canyon and the kids all got out to swim ( and mario). it was fun and marios boat is finally running great. we went home early (about 5ish) and i was taking a nap by 5:30. rare, but i was so tired from the week. the boys go to erics for the weekend then jule and owen come back monday. ian gets to stay for the whole summer. the other two will get to go if diane makes it full time while still on vacation. jule bug is climbing the ladder, ian has on the red vest and owen is sitting with the blue vest.
