Catching Up . . .

Oh boy, here we go with catching up from a few months ago! In September 2009, Kevin and I took an amazing trip to Kauai! We had the time of our lives! All we wanted to do was Relax, Relax, and more Relax!!! Kevin and I love going on trips just the two of us, and getting to spend lots of time together!

We had a blast and can't wait to go back!! This year for Halloween the kids wanted to dress up like spooky people. Luke was Dracula and Savannah was a Vampire girl. Allison was a cute Hippie girl. Luke's favorite thing to say to people is "I want to suck your blood." It was so funny, everybody loved it. Whitney had a fun party at our house with a bunch of friends. They played games, ate pizza, went to the Syracuse spook ally, and even went toilet papering! Halloween is my favorite holiday. Lots of get togethers, lots of food, fun parties, and FUN! For Thanksgiving our family went to San Francisco to visit Kevin's parents who are serving on an 18 month church mission. We had a great time visiting with them and seeing lots of great sights. Our favorite thing that we did was going to see the Broadway play "Wicked." It was AMAZING! Kevin's favorite part of the trip was going to Pebble Beach where the world's most famous golf players play in the major golf tournaments. Kevin was in Golf heaven. It was so fun watching him and seeing how excited he was to be there. We had lots of fun with Grammy and Papa! They are doing an awesome job on their mission. We are so proud of them and we love them! We can't wait to go back to San Francisco again someday. Christmas morning with the kids was wonderful! Santa made it to our house and the kids were so happy to see what he had brought them. We spent the whole day with family and the kids had fun hanging out with their cousins from Texas. We are so grateful for this time of the year and for our Savior and all that he has done for us. We feel very blessed. At Grandma and Grandpa Healy's house on Christmas Day. We had a great time. In the last few months all 3 girls have had dance recitals. They did such a great job and had so much fun! I'm really proud of them. They are such sweet girls. A couple weeks ago our family went down to Salt Lake for 2 days and 2 nights to stay at a fun place to go Swimming and to relax. The hotel that we stayed at was called Staybridge Suites. It had an awesome indoor waterslide, a kids swimming area, 2 pools, and a large hot tub. I recommend it for families wanting to go and have some fun with their kids.

Oh my goodness, I can't believe that I am actually caught up! I will definately try to do better in keeping up my blog in the future.

What a crazy night of action!! . . .

Last night Kevin and I went out on a date to see a great movie "Dear John." After the movie we were going to go to Wal Mart to get some groceries, but we decided we better head home to check on the kids. We got home around 9:30 PM. Whitney and her friend Sierra and the rest of the kids were playing and watching a movie. At 10:15 PM Sierra's dad came and picked her up. Whitney got a phone call right after Sierra left telling her that there was an old looking car parked across the street with a Mexican guy inside of it. She told Whitney he looked really suspicious and you might want to check it out. Kevin got in the car, drove around the block twice, and got his license plate number. There definately was a guy in the car. Kevin came in the house and called 911. We were peeking outside the window making sure this guy wasn't gonna leave. A few minutes later our friends pulled up to our house to pick up their daughter Hannah. As soon as they pulled up to our house the guy in the car turned on his lights and took off. We had just hung up the phone with 911 when the mexican guy took off, so we had to call the police back to tell them where he was headed. We were all very nervous wondering who this weirdo guy was. The Sheriff pulled up two minutes later and I ran outside to give the sheriff the guy's description and license plate number. The sheriff sped off heading East. Kevin and the girls jumped in the car and followed the sheriff truck. When they got there they had pulled the guy over and a few minutes later had handcuffed the guy and put him in their police car. There were three sheriff trucks there. There were dogs in the police truck. The tow truck showed up to haul the guys car away. Around 11:20 PM the police came back to our house and told us that the guy said he was just texting his girlfriend that lived in this area. Crazy guy! WHAT A NIGHT!! Pretty scary if you ask me! I don't know what this guy was doing, but I sure hope he wasn't watching our house or our kids!

I know its been forever since I blogged, but i'm going to catch up on blogging tonight! So tune in a little later when I can update the past few months.
