Blame it on Facebook
I am blaming facebook for taking up all my time and not leaving anytime to blog. Really it has been 4 months since I last blogged about our lives. So this is what has happened. In Feburary Rick went TDY to Ft Lewis Washington and the day after he left I got so sick I had strep throat again. When I finally recovered I got the house ready and put it on the market. I took about two weeks to get an offer that I gladly accepted. So our house is sold we close on April 27th the packers come on April 22 and then we move in to Temporary housing on Ft McCoy until June 22 then we are off to Kansas. Rick got home from Ft Lewis on April 7th and we are in the process of getting the house ready for the movers. We are hoping to lighten our load we are sure we are going to be over our weight allowance and we are getting rid of a few old this that I am tired of moving around. The next few weeks are going to be a little crazy around here and I will try to post more on this blog and not let facebook hog my time.

Sea World 2008
First off I want to thank Anheuser-Busch for there continued support of our US troops. There salute to heros program is great soldiers and their families can get into any of the Anheuser-Busch parks for free once a year. We have used this program 4 times we have been to Sea world San Diego twice a Sea world in San Antonio Tx and a Sea world in Florida. The girls love Sea world. Bella's favorite part is feeding the dolphins. We really did have a great day the weather was perfect and the park was not crowded at all. We enjoyed the dolphin show and the girls loved all the rides. We did not see the Shamu show this time the girls had a hard time sitting through the dolphin show. This is my last blog about our trip to california I need to get started on the new year before I get really behind again. Enjoy
Hollywood
I think it is time to finish Blogging about our trip to California. Rick wanted to spend a day being a tourist on Hollywood Boulevard so we did. There were a lot of people dressed up as characters or Actors. Some of them looked pretty good others were not so good. It was fun just walking up and down the Boulevard looking at all the stars. We were there only a few hours but we had a good time.

Laguna Beach California 2008
California part 2. My brother Sam invited us to the beach with him and his girlfriend Kathy and their daughter Natalie. Natalie is 4 years old and we were meeting her for the first time she is so cute and the girls and her got along great. It was a great day for the beach it was sunny and warm. Bella even went in to the freezing cold pacific water for a little swimming Abby of course wouldn't go near the surf she was content to play in the sand. It was low tide at the beach so we go to explore all the tidal pools. The girls loved all the sea creatures we discovered. I think their favorite were the star fish. We hung out all day we even drove a little further down the coast and watched the sun set at Dana point. I think some day I would like to retire by the beach I just haven't decided which one. The california adventure will continue. We were there for 11 days we have a lot to write about.
Disneyland 2008
Well here is our update on our trip to California. We drove Rick's big truck there or should I say Rick drove I did not drive 1 mile of the trip. I don't like driving Rick's big truck it is way to big for me. Well back to our trip. It took us 21/2 days to get there. We arrived to clear sunny skies and high's in the 70's. I was in formed that Lacrosse got about 8 inches of snow right after we left. I was glad we left when we did. Our Adventures in California started out with a trip to Disneyland it was a great day with beautiful weather. The girls had such a great time meeting all the Princess's we must have spent the first 2 hours just in that part of the park. My Friend Robyn and her daughter Rylee joined us at the park and we all had a great time. We got there right when they opened at 9AM and by 5PM the girls were done. We didn't even stay for the parade. I think Rick was a little disappointed he didn't get to go on as many rides as he would have liked too but you know it really is all about the kids we had fun watching them experience it all. Of course I have to thank my brother Philip he got us in to Disneyland and California adventure for free with some family passes his wife and her sister work for Disney. We probably wouldn't have gone otherwise the price for one day at both parks is so outrageous for our family it would have cost us $356.00 for 8 hours at the park because the girls couldn't handle more so thank you philip. Enjoy the pictures of our free trip to Disneyland. The next installment of our vacation is coming soon.

Bella's 5th Birthday party
My first born is 5 why does that make me feel so old. Bella wanted a scooby doo birthday party she decided on it the day after she turned 4 she already has next years planned as well. It was a great party all her cousins came and her BFF Jenna from school even got to come. Rick decorated the house with the decorations I made using my new die cutter. I made the cake it took me two days but it was worth it. The cake turned out exactly as I wanted. We played two games pin the dog tag on scooby doo and we had a bone toss game. The kids had a blast. For the good bag my friend Ruiz ann custom made the scooby doo embroidery and I sewed the little bags we used old blue jeans I think they turned out super cute. Every kids got a scooby doo face mask they were a big hit they were all crawling on the floor acting like dogs. Well that is it for this update. I am not sure when I will be able to give another update we are going on vacation to California for 2 weeks. Have a great thanksgiving.
