My Birthday

I had a great b-day this year. I turned 31... I rememebr when 31 seemed old. I can remember when my mom was 31 and she seemed ancient to me, now she is much older then that but still seems young to me. I guess time and age really are relative.

The weekend before my actual b-day Josh took me to my favorite place in the whole world, The Mona Lisa. We had a wonderful time.

The weekend of my b-day we had a little BBQ down at the park and ended up having a great time.

Warm Lake

Every year we use to go camping around the Warm Lake area.... it is one of the most beautiful places I have been to and I use to often think that someday it would be "my heaven"...that when I went to Heaven, my family and I would always be at Warm Lake camping. I LOVED that place. We went for 5 years in a row and then I had Ry in April of 2005 and was not about to take a 2 month old camping for a week... so we didn't go that year. The next year some friends of ours invited us to stay at there cabin in Cuprum so we didn't make it in 2006 either. In 2007 a horrible forest fire came in and wiped out the area I LOVED so so much. I was so sad... so we started camping at another area... which I love but it isn't Warm Lake.

We hadn't been back since 2004 and decided a couple weekends ago to head up there and just see what it looked like. It almost made me cry... the whole area is gone... completely burned up. It will take decades to be back to the place it what at one time. But the memories it brought back were amazing!!!

Here is some pics of our trip... it was flooding terribly but everywhere is right now. I am glad we went.... I hated to see the condition it was in, but was happy to see it again.

Memorial Day 2010 and other things

Jaces last day of School was Friday the 28th and I cannot believe he will be in 2nd grade already. 1st grade flew by and he sure loved his teacher... he almost cried the last day. Mrs. Smith was great with him and he excelled immensly with her. He went from reading 15 wpm with 76% accuracy to reading 73 wpm with 100% acuracy! He also made some wonderful friends this year, all in all it was a great year.

Memorial Day weekend was pretty crummy weather wise but we did take a ride in the hills on Saturday and only got rained on briefly. I am really, really tired of this rain!!
