back from boston!

so once again, i'm late in posting. val and i had a great time in boston! the weather was perfect for us--sunny and not too cold. but by sunday, our last day there, it was windy and freezing!!! a good time to come home. we took in all the sites of the city, did tours, walked everywhere, took the subway train (we were experts by day 2), took lots of pictures, went to a redsox game (awesome even though they didn't win), and just enjoyed ourselves. this was our first real trip away without the kids. so, it's been 5 days since we've come home and we're ready for our next adventure!!

scrappin' fun

it's been 3 weeks since our concord scrap vacation. i miss it so much!! :) nikki, zabrina, and i had an awesome time scrappin', relaxing, and laughing! i actually got a lot completed which was a total shock since i usually come home with a few pages done. woohoo! can't wait 'til we go back in september for more!!

oh yes, i DID put a picture of us on here!! ha!ha! facebook that zabrina! :)

here's some of the things i brought with me...

...and more! you can never bring too much. you might need it! you just might.

dreaming of the next scrap weekend

hello? anyone there?

yes, it's been awhile...a whole month!? what the heck! since my last post everyone has had the flu and a cold or cough. i have had plenty of stress which i am working at getting rid of! i'm trying to relax more, take time for me, stretch, and get more sleep. i will have to keep working on all of that. i want results now! :) spring break is coming; that will be a perfect time to de-stress. oh yah!

a weekend away

val and i went to sutter creek for a weekend away. we stayed at the sutter creek inn, a bed & breakfast right on main street.

i've never been near this area of california before. everything was so green! i loved seeing the hills and trees go on and on.

this was main street. for a small town, it sure was a busy street! this was taken at 10 in the morning.
we took a drive on saturday to see what was around. this lead us to wine tasting at some nearby wineries and then an underground tour of a gold mine. 

saturday night was a different story...i got the flu. i was up all night!  a few days before, kaleigh had it. while the kids were with my mom this weekend, connor got it and my dad. then home on sunday, val got it and now on monday, my mom is now being cursed with it! we did have a good time while it lasted. :)

opening night

though i'm two weeks late in posting, i did take kaleigh to see the jonas brothers 3d movie on opening night. i won the title of "best mother ever" by surprising her with tickets and buying the official, limited time cd and poster of the movie (before it sold out) and dinner. all in all $75 well spent. ha!

anyways, we had a great time. it was just like being at the concert. (yes, we were there in the summer. woohoo!) the audience of tween and teen girls screaming as if the brothers could hear them was crazy, and of course, everything was in 3d.
