SO...I have been really bad.

Sorry to my family and anyone else that has been trying to keep track of me, I have really fallen off the face of earth. I have been very busy with work and school, trying to finish up my degree so I can graduate in June. Finally, I can see the end is near. Also, Robert and I have been laying kind of low the last few months, we haven't been doing a lot of travelling. At the beginning of January Robert went with the boys on a hunting trip in Arizona. They had a great time here are some pictures of their trip. Also, while the boys were gone the girls took the kids to Disneyland, but since Robert took the camera, I don't have any pictures of the trip. We had a wonderful time and I love hanging out with my family.

I AM SO VERY THANKFUL....

I AM SO VERY THANKFUL FOR SO MANY THINGS. I AM THANKFUL FOR A LOVING HUSBAND AND FAMILY. WE HAD A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING WITH ROBERT'S FAMILY. I ATE SO MUCH FOOD IT PUT ME TO SLEEP. I THINK THE HOLIDAYS ARE MY FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR, BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE PEOPLE ARE IN SO MUCH MORE CHEERFUL. I LOVE DECORATING THE HOUSE AND GETTING TOGETHER WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

KHYLE AND AIMEE


THIS WEEKEND ROBERT AND I WENT UP TO REEDLEY (WHICH IS NEAR FRESNO) TO SMALL CAMP ON THE KING'S RIVER. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME ROBERT AND I HAVE GONE WITH KHYLE AND AIMEE TO KELLY'S BEACH, IT IS A BLAST, EVERY CAMPSITE IS ON THE RIVER AND IT IS EXTREMELY RELAXING TO JUST FLOAT DOWN THE RIVER FOR HOURS WHILE SOAKING UP ALL THE SUN YOU CAN. WE ALWAYS HAVE SO MUCH FUN BUT IT IS ALWAYS AN ADVENTURE, WE MEET A LOT OF INTERESTING PEOPLE AND AVOID THE CRAZY MONGEESES,( I GUESS YOU HAD TO BE THERE)
ASIDE FROM LISTENING TO PEOPLE SING KAROKE UNTIL 2 IN THE MORNING AND FLASHING THEIR HEADLIGHTS INTO OUR TENT, WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME.

DEAR OLE DAD!!

I HAVE TO SAY THAT I HAVE BEEN REALLY BAD AT POSTING LATELY, SO SORRY TO ANY FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT HAVE BEEN WONDERING WHAT ROBERT AND I HAVE BEEN UP TO. WE JUST CELEBRATED OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY ON THE SEVENTH OF THIS MONTH, ROBERT PLANNED A WEEKEND AT THE BEACH WHICH WAS SO FUN BUT OF COURSE I FORGOT THE CAMERA SO WE HAVE NO PICTURES!!

THIS PAST SATURDAY ROBERT AND I WENT UP TO TEHACHAPI TO SPEND THE DAY WITH MY DAD FOR FATHER'S DAY BECAUSE I HAD TO WORK ON SUNDAY, IT WAS ALSO MY NIECE, PEYTON'S, THIRD BIRTHDAY. WE HAD A GOOD TIME AT THE CHILI COOK OFF IN DOWNTOWN TEHACHAPI AND THEN WE TOPPED OFF THE NIGHT AT JOHN'S INCREDIBLE PIZZA, TO REALLY CELEBRATE PEYTON'S BIRTHDAY. SHE HAD SO MUCH FUN SHE EVEN HIT THE JACKPOT ON ONE OF THE GAMES, AND GOT LIKE A THOUSAND TICKETS. OVERALL, BETWEEN THE GAMES AND THE CAKE AND ICE CREAM, THIS 3 YEAR OLD HAD A BLAST.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

I JUST WANTED TO TAKE THE TIME TO THANK MY MOTHER FOR ALL SHE DOES FOR ME. SHE IS AN AMAZING, STRONG WOMAN, WHO HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR ME WHEN I NEED HER. SHE IS EXTREMELY TALENTED AND HAD TAUGHT ME OR AT LEAST TRIED MANY TIMES TO TEACH ME HOW TO SEW, AND COOK AMONG SO MUCH MORE. SHE IS ALWAYS THERE TO TALK, LAUGH WITH, AND SOMETIMES CRY WITH. SHE IS ONE OF THE MOST GIVING PEOPLE I KNOW, AND SO MANY TIMES SHE DID WHAT EVER SHE COULD SO HER CHILDREN COULD HAVE WHATEVER WE NEEDED. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, AND I THANK MY HEAVENLY FATHER DAILY FOR SENDING ME TO MY FAMILY.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN!!!

SHANE AND LIA

ROBERT AND I WERE OFF TO ANOTHER ONE OF OUR GREAT ADVENTURES. WE WENT TO PHOENIX THIS PAST WEEKEND FOR AN OLD FRIEND OF ROBERT'S WEDDING, AND WHILE WE WERE THERE MY HUSBAND TALKED ME INTO GOING TO THE PHOENIX INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY TO WATCH THE NATIONWIDE NASCAR RACE AND GO INTO THE PITS AND SEE ALL THE DRIVERS AND CARS. IT WAS PRETTY FUN, VERY LOUD BUT I ENJOYED THE EXPERIENCE. ALSO, WHILE WE WERE THERE WE TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND THE MESA TEMPLE, WHICH WAS FUN BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME ROBERT AND I HAD GONE SINCE WE WERE SEALED. WE HAD A GREAT TIME AT THE WEDDING ROBERT GOT TO SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND CATCH WITH WHAT EVERYONE WAS DOING NOW. WE FINISHED OUR TRIP BY GOING TO TWO OF THE LARGEST OUTDOOR SPORTING GOODS STORE IN THE WORLD, CABELA'S AND BASS PRO SHOP. IT WAS A LONG DRIVE BUT WE HADN'T BEEN ANYWHERE JUST THE TWO OF US SINCE OUR HONEYMOON, ALMOST A YEAR AGO, IT WAS VERY RELAXING BUT IT IS BACK TO THE REAL WORLD.
