Is it too late?

So, after much haggling, research, begging (on Ken's part to get some vacation time) I think it is going to work out. So the question, 'Is it too late to let you know that I am coming?' I have no idea what the plans are but would love to know more (like where we are staying, what we are doing, etc). Also is there anyone that will be coming from the Colorado direction?

Easter "Out-takes"

I thought I'd share my kids' Easter photo "Outtakes" this year. To be 100% honest, that's about all there were. We had like one decent photo out of 90 or so!






We had a really fun time decorating eggs with some other resident friends and then having an Easter egg hunt in their 11 acre orchard!




Here's a funny coincidence, last Easter Sunday, Dillon went to the ER with two broken arms. THIS Easter Sunday, Charlie went into the ER with Serum Sickness (they think... still not sure)! Check out these fun photos ------>





Looks like he had the crap beat out of him or something, but really he had some crazy allergic reaction to a virus (again... they think) which caused him to break out into hives, followed by swelling, stiffness, high fever, and PURPLENESS of the joints. Poor kid. He was pretty miserable, but still adorable :)

Easter-tastic!!

Here are our Easter pics. We didn't do the dressed up route this year. Jason was on call so we celebrated Easter on General conference weekend. I hope you all had a good holiday.

Not going to girls weekend

Hey all, I am sorry to break this news, but I am not going to make it to girls weekend. Sorry to bail on you all. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! This past week I have been really struggling and not feeling right about going. After watching conference today I knew for sure it was the wrong choice for me to go. We have several families in our ward that just got laid off and have little ones to feed that could use the money more than I could use the break. I will be with you in spirit though! Amy, I hope this doesn't pose any problems for your planning. I wanted to let you know as soon as possible. Lots of Love! Joni

GIRLS WEEKEND FINAL DATE

GIRLS WEEKEND IS OFFICIALLY JULY 17th, 18th, and 19th.  Please try to arrive thursday night if possible and plan on Sunday evening (July 19th) or Monday morning departure.  15 weeks and 4 days to go!

*** SHELLY - if you read this could you get me your new email address?  The one I have is old and not working.  Anyone else who has a new email address (and would like to continue to receive updates and be allowed to post on this blog) please let me know :)  THANKS!

Girls Weekend

So it has been decided for sure. With the majority vote both times we are going to have the girls weekend the third week in July. That is a for sure thing so you can all book your tickets or make plans accordingly. I am now looking into housing and I am trying to find something that will please everyone. I know that budgets may still be tight(won't it be great when we can start having the girls weekends at lavish resorts with spas and expensive shopping? haha) so I want to find something within reason. I am excited and I will keep everyone posted on what I find.
Can't wait to see everyone there!

OPERATION DECISION TIME!

1-  Ok, so I've tried a couple of times now to get a hold of Amy about solidifying the date for girl's weekend.  We've gone back and forth a little and SOOOOoooo  I'm putting a poll up.  PLEEEZ vote for truly what would work best for YOU and whatever weekend wins WINS!  THE POLL CLOSES TUESDAY NIGHT because I know some of you are anxious to take advantage of early purchase airline deals.  

Keep in mind that the three days of the getaway will be packed full of fun, so arrive the day before if possible.  Plan on Sunday afternoon - Monday morning departure if possible.

May the best weekend win ;0)

2-  We NEED a head count for Amy to anticipate how many bedrooms/ rooms we need for the accommodations.  Please RSVP by using the other poll on the right AND by commenting to THIS POST.  We know of several of you who have said you're coming for sure, but we haven't heard for sure from most of you.  Seeing as how the dates might have a roll in your decision, I'm leaving this poll up for a little longer.  We'll know which weekend to plan on by Wednesday morning, March 18th- the morning after the poll closes.  We'll leave the RSVP poll up for a few days after that.
