Home Sweet Home

Hey everyone! We are back, safe and sound. Thanks for all of you who prayed for a safe trip. The roads were clear, traffic light and it was smooth sailing there and back.

We all had a good time!

Here is a link to the photos. They are all captioned so you should get lots of info without me typing it all out here for you.

Oh and a little side note. I came home to find that a new lid for my popcorn maker had been mailed to me free of charge from Scheider's! I know you were concerned for my addiciton.

Just About Outta Here!

I am packed.
The kids are packed.
I sit home alone waiting for them to return from Vancouver.
The anticipation is KILLING me!!!!!!
Thanks for all your prayers. Nathan is much much better today.
The forecast for Anaheim is for sun....and I am ready to get there!

Please pray for our safety on our journey.
Will definitely be updating just as soon as we get back!
Ciao friends.

The Timing is All Wrong

Please pray for us!
I woke up at 11:30 pm tonight to the wonderful sound of puking. Not really knowing where it was coming from, I raced straight to Chad's room and flipped on the light....no he's fast asleep. Hop over to Nate's room and he's sitting there all dazed from just having puked gallons of nastiness all over his bedroom floor. OI VEY!
I called for Keith who was still in the basement working on the computer to come up and please help me n.o.w.!!!!!!
Needless to say this is horrible timing. Please pray for a very speedy recovery for Nathan and please pray that the rest of us stay healthy.
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you

PS. I sit here blogging. Nate is cleaned up and in a cot in our bedroom. His room is a haz-mat situation. Keith is at his brother's getting their mini steam cleaner.

Happy

On Friday we are packing up the car and pointing it south. Destination....DISNEYLAND!

I am quite excited....obviously!

This is a completely impulsive and spontaneous trip. We had planned to go in October but changed our minds. I am a total planner so this was a bit out of my comfort zone but it feels pretty good!

The boys have NO idea....and boy, has it been hard keeping it a secret from them. We can't wait to tell them! I will videotape their reaction on Friday and if it's blog-worthy I'll share it with you all.

Anyhow....couldn't keep the secret much longer!

Lazy Blogger

I'm sorry. My blogging has been rather pathetic lately....do I have any readers left? I could list off a mile of excuses but do you really want to hear them? I thought not!
So here's a little catch up post. On Sunday, I opened my birthday gifts from Keith and the boys. They got me a nice electric wok! Sadly it will have to be returned as the base is very wobbly and unstable. I do look forward to getting one though as I want to make more stir frys.

I also got a box of my new obsession. I had always been a milk chocolate girl but as I 'mature' I am finding the dark chocolate to be quite divine! If you haven't tried Lindt in the black wrappers please do so immediately.

The other night I was having a real craving for a greek style pizza. This was so incredibly good. I do love feta and am making up for lost time when I thought I didn't like it! It was maybe only 3 years ago I decided it wasn't disgusting!

And lastly I have some tragic news. My Whirly pop crank mechanism broke last night. NOT HAPPY! I knew when I got the pot that a plastic mechanism didn't stand a chance to last long but only a year? Sigh.....Keith said he will try and fix it but I might have to go on the hunt for a new pot with higher quality parts. At least it snapped AFTER the popcorn was popped. It was a yummy bowl of kettle corn...could be the last bowl for a long time!

35 and Still Kicking!

Last night we went out to a shi-shi poo-poo fancy restaurant for my birthday with our dear friends. It was scrumptious! I had a very tasty pasta dish with artichokes and jumbo tiger prawns. Keith had mahi-mahi and the rest of the gang had either pork chops or pork tenderloin. I would highly recommend Restaurant 62.

Afterwards we came back to our place for dessert but sadly no one could eat a bite! Which is completely fine because I plan to eat it all myself today :) Look at this gorgeous mirror that Keri and Kori got me!!! I love it and can't wait for Keith to hang it up for me.
