Little Boy Turns 2!!!

We celebrated Alex's 2nd birthday on Halloween! We were so excited that Mom was here!! It was lots of fun and I can't believe Alex is already 2!!
Here are some pictures from the day:

Win your way to the Wynn

We went to Las Vegas at the end of September, for the contest Dave won. Here are some of the highlights from our trip.....



I have always heard of fancy shmancy hotels with robes to wear in the rooms...well, I finally stayed at one and Sage and I had to model the robes for a quick picture! :) Ahhh...

A view from one of our huge, entire-wall-covered-panoramic-windows! wow! Don't look down!

and another....wow!

Ok, so these are some stunning Andy Warhol prints and the tv in the middle...loved it!....anyway, if you look closely on the dresser there are some extremely expensive snacks. We read that if you so much as pick one item up for more than 60 seconds you would conviently be charged for it on your room bill....imagine dealing with 100+ dollars in snacks sitting there, bolted to the dresser and 2 little kids that wouldn't stop picking items up!! Ahhh!! I was so scared...I thought we'd have to pay for the snacks if they were picked up...luckily we were able to clear that all up at checkout...phew! $100 in snacks we didn't take....ouch!

I could have lived in this bathroom. seriously. no joke! There is a tv mounted in the wall with a picture frame around it and a lovely vanity. ..not to mention the water fall tub. This place was incredible. I know I know, you guys stay in places like this all the time....but to me, WoW!

This is "Club Suzuki"....pretty cool...there were cars in there, randomly parked around the room. It looked really great!

We were at Circus Circus and found this lovely Korean lady who made a "name art" picture for Sage and Alex's names. They're amazing...really, we were stunned!

Here are Sage and Alex, waiting ever so impatiently while we were checking out of the hotel. (I know, these pictures aren't in the right order...oh well)

I was really mesmerized by these "gigantic hanging flower ball arrangements"!! They are in the Lobby of the Wynn and I love them.

Here's a picture of Sage and Alex in the Lobby of the Wynn. I couldn't believe how beautiful it all was...

The floors were incredible!!

So that was the Wynn...wow. Too bad I didn't take any picture of the pool and surrounding area...that was some kind of paradise. Incredible. Maybe we'll see you again next year, Wynn. Keep a robe ready for me. :)

Welcome Home!

Welcome to our new home!! We officially moved in 1 month ago and we love it here!! :)

When we got the house, I just had to come by and take a picture of the sold sign!! SOLD! Yep, that's right! :)
I'll have to get some pictures of us at our house...in the near future!

Congratulations Dave!

Dave recently won a contest with Suzuki! They took the total Suzuki sales from July and August and in the Western Region (the western 1/2 of the United States), Dave ranked #1!!!!
I am so proud of him and just wanted to brag, on his behalf!
As a reward, Suzuki has paid for a flight (for the top 5 from each region) to Las Vegas for 3 days and he gets to stay in a luxurious :) hotel while he's there! And to top it all off, the kids and I are going along! It will be a fun trip for all of us! While he's in Las Vegas, he'll be able to preview a new Suzuki model that's coming out next year!
Congratulations to You, Dave!!
You're the best!!

Time Flies!

Brother and sisterhood is a love/hate relationship, as you can see from these pictures. There has been a lot of fighting going on around here lately, by the smallest people in the household. I hope it will be over soon. :) As you can see above, Sage and Alex love spending time together! We got an ice cream maker, which we LOVE, and they really like watching it mix and saying "it's getting thicker!" for 30 minutes straight! Fun fun fun!

And some more...

Sage loved all her presents! Here are some pictures of the ones from Grandma and Grandpa Everett so they can see how much she likes the gifts! Sage in her cinderella dress and tiara, Sage with her cool rocks, shells, and real sea horse, and Sage with all her doll house furniture!! And one of Sam swinging...cause we just need that one here! ;)

Memorial Day

On Memorial Day we spent the day at Jessica's house. :) These pictures were taken at a park we went to. The kids had so much fun!

Sage's 4th Birthday!

We had lots of fun at Sage's birthday party!! We had it on her birthday at home and Sage will "never forget how much fun it was"! Peter and family, Jessica and family, and Jen (Marchant) and family all came and it was perfect for Sage. Here are some pictures from the day. :)

Sage's 4th Birthday Party Exravaganza!

We had a water balloon toss that turned into a fight ... of course! And that is a castle cake I made for Sagey and luckily she loved it! :)

Joy School Graduation

Sage graduated from Joy School (1st year) on the 23rd of May! We had a little graduation party with all of her friends and they got hats, diploma's and fun fun fun! We are so proud!!
