Good to be back in the desert???

Home sweet home! I love being home. We had a great time in Western South Dakota and then Eastern Wyoming. But all good things must come to an end!

Here are a couple of sneek peaks of our trip:

Riding on the 1880's train from Keystone SD to Hill City SD. So amazing!

G & G with their legacy! I know that I am biased, but these are the cutest kids in the world! And the little one is most darling! He had such a sweet disposition and did so great with the bigger kids wanting to maul him all the time! Good luck M & K with the teething. Hopefully he will cut his teeth fast!

Thanks to everyone who fed us and put up with us for such a great vacation! And thank you to G& G for keeping the kids for a week. They will never forget this week! :-)

List of things we have done so far...(G-rated)

1. Went to Taco Bell at 9:30 at night. Can you imagine?
2. Had a couple's massage! It was great!
3. Went to IKEA all alone...got some great stuff, stay tuned!
4. Went to the mall and shopped only in stores we wanted to.
5. Went to Village Inn at 9:00 at night alone!
6. Got home well past 10, didn't have to take the babysitter home, let the dogs out, or heard kids to bed. It was weird to just come home and go to bed!
7. Slept in until...wait...are you ready...8:30! Isn't that sad. We used to be able to sleep in until 9:30 or even 10:30 some times. I guess when you get up in the morning at 4:00 that is sleeping in.
8. Swam in the pool.
9. Skipped lunch. No one was complaining that they were starving.
10. Watched 2 movies uninterrupted.

Now are weekend of fun is over...time to go back to work for a couple of days and then join the kids in the land of rolling hills and less people.

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

We interrupt our life for a dream sequence...

I jet setted my way to South Dakota yesterday. I left Phoenix at 8:30 am with the kids and returned solo by 2:00pm. Not bad for a days work. Bill and I embarked on a week long date. Only to be interrupted by work! It has been quietly peaceful so far. Bill is sound asleep tonight after another major dental visit. I am doing really fun things...folding laundry and washing dishes. :-) The kids are having a blast with G & G D! Grandpa reported tonight that they ran back and forth around the house, back and forth and back again. I think the kids must be worn out today as James ran out of things to say at the end of the phone conversation!

All I can say is WOW! That was fun. What do you think? Do they fit me? Oh~and just for the record I don't plan to marry again. Some of you know my "business plan" if anything were to happen to Bill. So I find that song quit suiting at this point in my life. I'm Just saying! Play along if you like. I love my i-pod and my music.
