Happy 10th Anniversary

For our 10th Anniversary, Steve and I went on the most amazing Alaskan Cruise!!!

We flew into Vancouver and toured around the day before our cruise ship left

It didn't take us long to find the food and sun as soon as we boarded the ship!

The staff took great care of us!

The Maitre D' gave us a private table with an oceanview every night.

The Captain of the ship!

Taylor Flies out to California Alone

My cute little Taylor girl!! The past 2 years Preston has been able to go out to Steve's parent's farm in Nebraska all by himself. He has competed in 4H riding horses. Taylor has been too young to compete and has felt a little leftout. So my mom asked if she could come out to California for a week by herself. WOW, the thought of Taylor alone on the plane made me so nervous. But she really wanted to go and I knew she would have the best time. So..... Steve and I decided to let her get on that plane and fly by herself.

So here she is waiting to board

She made friends with 2 other girls that were flying without parents
If she only knew how sad I was to say goodbye

I waited for the plane to take off before I left

And so what did I do as I waited?? I took pictures of her plane

more pictures

the last one I could get!!

Pool time!

So while Preston has been at football camp the past week.... Taylor, Mason and I have been hanging out at the pool with friends!

Football Camp 2009

Since we've been here, Steve has helped with the Air Force football camp each summer. The coaches let Preston come and participate for free. It's a great camp and the highlight of Preston's (and his buddies) summer

Future Falcon??? We'll see!
