Mary Poppins

Ashlee's choir class had an evening field trip to see Mary Poppins at Gammage. Since it was a "provide your own transportation" event, we were able to bring Grandma Nelson along. We picked her up early and took her to Costa Vida for dinner (she had never been there), and then we headed for Tempe.
We had low-budget seats (which we were thankful for, so we could afford to go)--but they were way up high. Ashlee was so funny walking along our row to her seat--she was terrified, but laughing!!! She walked slowly, holding on to the back of the seats, freaking out every time she turned around to look back at us. We were all pretty nervous--it was so steep! But we made it! And we were glad we had brought binoculars along. =)
The show was about 3 hours long--and it was GREAT! I actually cried at the end--I'm such a ridiculous baby!!! I don't know what it is--sometimes I'm just so amazed by people's incredible talents!
It was a really fun evening. Great memories, Great times!

How can I possibly sum up in a few words what it's like raising our family? I feel so, so blessed to have Rob and our kids, and for my main job to be taking care of them. Our life is everything I've ever dreamed of--and so much more. It's incredible to know that our family is eternal. We can be together forever, if we can just manage to live our lives the way we know is right. Every day is a new adventure--filled with new challenges (or the same old ones we still haven't solved...), excitement of all kinds, laughter, and some occasional tears. Put it all together and it's just non-stop AWESOME!!! I learn so much from each one of them. They teach me about love, humor, patience, forgiveness, and what really matters. Together we've learned that laughter can make just about anything better. They make me want to better myself, so that I can someday be deserving of them. They're the BEST--I love them so much!!!

Rob & I have now been married nineteen years. We have six awesome kids--three girls, three boys. It's amazing when we look back on our life together, where it all started (thank you, Wendi! =)), and all that we've experienced since then. We've laughed, we've cried, we've been mad, we've kissed & made up... We have so, so, so much fun together--more than we ever would have even hoped for. We're truly each other's best friends. Our Song is "If I Had Only One Friend Left, I'd Want it to be You," by Dan Seals, and that's how we feel. As long as we have each other, we can handle whatever comes.
