Staying home...

Wow! What a whirlwind the last few weeks have been. Jarod and I have both been busy traveling like crazy people and racking up those frequent flyer miles. Last weekend we headed to Denver to see Collin in the musical Anne. He was Daddy Warbucks. He did a great job and we were really glad we were able to go and see it. So after traveling every week for the last 6 weeks, we are FINALLY staying home this weekend. What are we going to do with a few days of freedom? Yeah, right. Tomorrow we are going to our third Cubs game of the week and then we have a packed weekend. I don't know what we would do with ourselves if we weren't as busy as we are. At least I get to sleep in my own bed this weekend!!

Derek and Vera's Wedding

Jarod and I flew home for Derek's wedding. The day before the wedding it was a freezing 45. We thought we were in trouble but the day of the wedding was beautiful and in the 70's. We couldn't have asked for a better day. OK, maybe I could have. I had the flu ALL day. I was miserable. Hence why I look absolutely pale in these pictures.
My Grandma and me.

Vera, the beautiful bride



Derek and Vera got married at Ty's house in Horseshoe Bend. It was so green with great views of the mountains.


Derek, Vera and their dogs Sarge and Cadet

The cutest little guy! He looked so cute in his little suit. He was so funny walking down the aisle. The kid is a ham. He was a little unsure to begin with but as soon as he saw all of us at the end he started to run as fast as possible down the hill. He of course crashed, stood up, laughed and started running again.

Lacy and the cake that Ash made. She did such a good job!!
We always love to go home and it was for such a great event. We are so happy for you Derek and Vera. We love you both!

Huston Visit


Madeline and Deb Huston came out for Madeline's 10th Birthday. I can't believe she is 10 it seems like just yesterday I starting nannying for them and she was 2 1/2. We missed Kennedy and Julia. They stayed home with their dad but it was so much fun to see them and catch up. We had a great time!

Sunny San Diego






In March, for Jarod's spring break we went back to San Diego for some fun in the sun with Elish and Rob. We had the best time! We also went and saw Jarod's cousin Amy as well as Jeffrey, Nicole and Huskey. It was great to see everyone but it was so hard to leave. Here are some pics of our trip.
