WOW

Belize it or not...... the adventure begins.......

View from airplane

Robert's Grove, Placencia

Tom, Lauren, Bubbs, and I had a great opportunity to visit Belize in June. What an amazing place. Tom has the opportunity to start some business ventures and humanitarian projects in Southern Belize. In June, we had a chance to go there and explore the beautiful country. Tom's friend has a ranch in outside of Punta Gorda. It's 500 acres in the jungle.

This is the ranch House!!!

The weather in Belize was very hot and humid. We flew into Belize City, rented a car, and drove South to Punta Gorda. It took about 5 hours. Crazy times, windy roads, and Thomas getting car sick! It was worth the journey. Tom showed us the ranch. We went into PG and hung out with some of the friends that Tom has made in his journey's. Lauren and I were so not liking the heat..... no ac at the ranch! We were excited to head North to Placencia, for the Lobster Festival. We loaded up the car and drove North. Tom joined us the following day!

Summer is here! What happened to spring???

A New Year 2009

So much has happened this year. Bubba turned 1 on Jan 15th. It was a fun day. We took him to the mall with Finn and Andrew. He had pictures taken with Finn and Dad. Then we went home and he had a chocolate cake. He is such a sweet boy and is growing up so fast. He crawls super fast and is in no hurry to walk. He loves fruit, especially blueberries. Thomas loves his brothers and his dogs. He loves to watch Barney and play with his toys. He loves to throw anything!

Putting up the tree

Tom just wanted to express how thrilled he was to put up our Christmas tree today. NOT...

• But, we did get it done. Thanks to our family, we have a beautiful tree. They cut it down in the Uintah's. Legally....Anyway. Laure is doing well. She enjoyed the new snow at Snowbird. It was very cold, but she's a powder hound. Finn had a jr. jazz basketball game yesterday. He was proud that his team won. He was more excited about playing in the snow. Andrew is taller. Thomas is crawling around like a pro. He still loves playing in the cave with his dad. Tom shoveled the snow today with our only leaf rake. He broke it. ha ha. He gave in and bought a snow shovel. Now we are set for the winter. Finals are over for me. Yeaaaa!!! Now I can try to get the house clean before Christmas.
  

Try again

November has come and gone

Again, I am horrible at this. Let's see. Maybe I will try to start with some pictures. Last week I went to Allison's house to hang out. Aiden was so sweet and loves to play with Thomas. For the past week, the bean and I have been so sick. Dr. Kelly thinks Thomas has Roseola. Viral, of course, so our antibiotics aren't working. He broke out in a rash this morning, so hopefully he will be feeling soon. Thanksgiving was uneventful. Tom made us yummy stakes because we were too sick to hang out with everyone. Andrew and Finn went to the Grand America with the Kelly's and Lauren spent the weekend in La.
