June~ Part 1

I wish I was better at this blogging business but~ life is too short to sit down for too long.

Here's June in a flash....

The first weekend of June we got our boat up and running~ we bought it knowing a couple of things had to be done - hence the 'great deal'. So we got it back and haven't stopped running wild since! We were supposed to go boating with the Eyre family over Memorial Day for Amber's bday but the boat wasn't done in time so we had to have a redo; here it is~

Amber and Trevann

My first run of the season behind our first boat ever....Nope I wasn't thrilled at all!
Happy boat owners! Thanks for letting me borrow those sweet shades Sky- lost mine off the back of the boat~opps, we'll watch out for that! You might even notice Isaiah managed to catch a wake board with his face.... hence the band aid- poor kid!


Next came Andrew's birthday!!! The big 29 this year! Next year we'll have to do something major! We WERE going to go to Lake Powell for his birthday but there was some dance recital interference so we postponed and had family dinner at our house!






Turns out I don't have very many pictures of all the people that turned out but I will say there were LOTS and Andrew said it was the best birthday he's had in a long while. He was feeling very loved that day!

Isaiah had his first dance recital, he was really good! I was so proud of him! Lot's of family came out to support his first of what I'm sure will be many performances. When I met him back stage after the show he said "Mom, I'm pretty sure I was born for the stage" and maybe he is!





After that excitement we made it to a couple of weddings;

Congrats to Mandi and Tom


(for the record...technically she dropped him during the dip, even IF she's the one who fell.... oops)

And to Brooke and Curtis


We also celebrated my nephew's baby blessing.... ah sweet baby Gavin w his dashing great-grandparents!(June 13, 2010)



Did I mention this all took place in two days? Wheeeeew.

And three days later we left for Lake Powell which my friends is a blog all it's own....coming soon!

Pine Wood Derby

May was also a big month for Isaiah!

He got strep throat and missed a few days of school. He hasn't been that sick in a long time. Poor kid. Luckily he got better in time to participate in his first Pinewood Derby and ended up taking 3rd overall!









He had a lot of fun making and racing this car with his dad. And both of the Kimball boys weren't ashamed to take some advice from the Derby Pro Grandpa Manzanares!

True Love-

May 8, 2008= the day two became one...officially.

We started May off by celebrating our 2nd anniversary. This year we went to Lava Hot Springs!



Since we didn't think very far ahead when we got married... our Anniversary always falls on Mother's Day weekend meaning we try not to ask our Mom's to babysit... So Papa Dan and Paulette watched the Izster this year while we snuck away for the night! Thanks again guys!

We had such a great night. We took some fancy clothes for a dinner date not knowing quite what to expect and then upon arrival remembered that Lava is just a quaint little po-dunk town with a giant hot tub. Our hotel room was a far cry from the Zermatt Resort we stayed at last year. Polar opposite to be exact, which just ended up being hilarious. Our cinder block walled room was a burning 80 degrees and we couldn't figure out how to turn the fireplace off for hours (there is no front desk, we checked in at a gift shop down the road). Andrew thought he was going to pass out.





We did have a pretty view of the river out of our back door. Which was great considering we had all the doors wide open when ever we were there!



We went and played a few holes of Frisbee golf and then decided to trade the steak dinner for a cute pizza parlor after which we soaked it up in the steaming HOT tubs. 103-112 degrees~ WOWZERS!

Sunday/Mother's Day we decided to have that steak after all but this time we did it with breakfast. Mmmm. We also stopped to get some magic water for Isaiah before we left.





We had a great trip celebrating a fabulous two years together. Here's to many more!

And to all you lovers out there- Remember;

True love is the greatest thing in the world..
Except for a nice MLT--
Mutton, Lettuce, and Tomato sandwich,
When the mutton is nice and lean
And the tomatoes ripe... (Princess bride)
