I have been tagged by Kelly! This is the first time I am following through with a tag! I feel like I deserve an award.... Here are the rules: Find the book closest to you with at least 123 pages. Turn to page 123 Find the fifth sentence Post the next three sentences Tag 5 people From New Moon by Stephanie Meyer - "That was usually about when the screaming started. I wasn't paying attention to where I was driving-just wandering through empty, wet side roads as I avoided the ways that would take me home-because I didn't have anywhere to go. I wished I could feel numb again, but I couldn't remember how I'd managed it before." I tag Heather, Megan, Adele, Jeanette, and Tammy!

Tom Brady...I totally agree sweetheart! Whooo hooo! And like father like son...Dan and Ben both get Prince Harry! And yes, we are all wearing the same cowboy hat! That hat gets around! http://www.myheritage.com

Hehehe...just for fun...we won't tell him he looks like Shirley Temple or Rachel McAdams! Prince Harry huh Ben? ;) We won't tell Dan either...a flight attendant on the plane said," oh SHE'S so cute".....Dan didn't like that....must be the pretty blue eyes! :O) And yes, Ben is wearing the same cowboy hat that I am in the picture below! (Thanks again Jenn) http://www.myheritage.com

So I finally figured out how to post this! Fun! Thanks Meg for the help! Yes - this is an old picture. But I couldn't find any "just me" pictures. Mostly all my pictures are now with Dan or Ben. So enjoy! http://www.myheritage.com

Tonight we are leaving to fly out to Arizona! Any updates on our happy holiday can be found here on this website. Our school semester is over!!! Final grades for Dan and I equal out to - Honor Roll! Leah got: Criminal Law - A Health Ed - A Child Development - B Dan got: Physics - A Political Science - A So after all that hard work, we deserve a vacation!!! And that is exactly what we will be doing in Arizona! Don't even mention the word diet to me until January 2nd. Then we can talk south beach vs. the zone diet. Until then - hello fudge, chocolate and e all the above! We will be returning to Hawaii on the 1st of January. We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!!!! P.S. Christmas cards are on there way!!!!!!! Ok - I'm ready to go Mom and Dad! Our dryer was broken for 4 days....Ben is helping us catch up with putting away the clean laundry. Ok Mom and Dad - what do ya need? I got socks...I got shirts....you need it...I got it.... Ok this laundry business is tiring...I...

Family photo in front of the tree! Gavin and his BIG smile! Say Jingle Bells! This little piggy lost his tail! I love my mountain man Dan. While on vacation Dan was on strike against shaving! Ben loves playing with his Uncle Jason! Who is this long legged child? And what did he do with my sweet baby boy? Oh and for those of you that are wondering....he's in just a diaper because Ben was right by the fireplace! Dennis and Liz were so nice in letting us use the big old Expedition to run errands around town. The only downside was that we had to bundle up Ben like this in order to go anywhere! Oh, also the other downside to borrowing the Expedition...we now want one!!!! Up close! Grandma Liz and Ben spending some time together. Ben is growing so quickly that the length of his pants fit. However...his waist is another story. Ben would not stay still, so this is what Dan had to do to put his jeans on.
