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!!

Diamondbacks!

Dave won tickets to a Diamondbacks baseball game! It was such a fun experience to go! We brought a baseball mit and waited patiently for a ball to come our way...but no such luck! It was a fun game and our team won too!

Life with Vicki :)

Vicki (Dave's sister) invited me and the kids over for a fun day of swimming! We loved her backyard and pool! It was a very fun day. It's so nice living in the same area as family and being able to see them from time to time! :)

Rachel's Birthday 'Bash'

We went bowling for my birthday! It was fun to see the kids rolling (or throwing actually) the ball down the lane! It was a great day of haircuts for everyone except Alex (still hasn't needed a haircut) and bowling, and the traditional family birthday party at home. :) It was a great day! :) Thanks Dave!

Picnic

Sage is always eager to have a picnic, so one day we packed up the picnic basket and walked over to the playground for a nice little picnic. It was nice and memorable. Alex liked eating outside...he looked shocked when we spread out the cloth and started to eat! :)

Soaking wet

Here we are at the zoo's splash pad! Dave took the day off and we had a great day as a family. :) It was really hot so the kids loved the water!

Happenings

Back on May 5th we got to see Daniel! It was so good to see him again...it's been way too long and who knows when we'll see him again? Well, it was a nice time at Jessica's house with everyone there. Sage really enjoyed seeing everyone again and playing with Hannah. :)

Easter

Here are some pictures from Easter. The easter bunny was good to the kids and they had lots of fun searching for eggs. This year I told Sage about our family tradition of hiding all the eggs around stuffed animals. So the night before she arranged her stuffed animals all over the family room and in the morning she was thrilled to find baskets and eggs hidden all around her "friends". Alex really enjoyed opening the plastic eggs and eating the candy inside! It was a fun time. :)
