Hi y'all

The sun is still shining here...go figure..
Yesterday we went horseback riding in the desert. Very beautiful, and a lot of fun. My rear-end is a bit sore today! LOL
Today is Monday, April 30th we are taking it easy. I am going to give mom a pedicure and maybe work on my tan a bit. I think today is an 11:30am Margarita day!! HEE HEE hey, I'm on vacation aren't I??

Cheryl and I went shopping last night and bought up a whack of glass beads and lockets etc.. for the girls to
make braclets and earrings.. I still have some "little" things to pick up for them. (and for lu, and louise, and Mary and and Trina.. and..and .. hee hee hee).

We might be going to Flagstaff tomorrow overnight. I think Mom and Dad are staying here. It's a bit hard on Mom travelling in the car for 2 or 3 hours.
Hopefully later in the week we are going to a science museum to see a German Artist that used human cadavors
as his art. It had caused quite a stir when he first opened in Germany. These people donated thier bodies
for art. WOW.

I am missing the kids terribly, Frank says that Lily is talking up a storm and is asking for mommy. awww

Messages

Hi guys,
I thought I would post a couple of messages for people from here, since Cheryl's computer is very old
and it keeps shutting down on me when I open up my e-mail.

Lu:
Sorry to hear that Ava had the flu again! That sucks. I was wondering where you were as I tried to get
ahold of you to meet up for coffee a couple of times.
You should of dropped by before I left, I was packed in about 15 mins. then watched TV. LOL
Do you want anything from here? I am bringing back goodies for everyone, but do you want any thing
special that we can only get in the states? I am bringing back some more Geber treats and Welch's
dried fruit treats.
As for cheesy lasagne?? ummm.. not sure, you might have to talk to frank. He "seems" to have things under control. He said to me last night "you right..you only have time to cook, clean and watch kids, nothing else" God I loved those words!! My mission is complete! LOL
Talk to you later
Krista

Carrie:
Thank god for you blog, it is the only way I can get to my blog for some reason. LOL
Moya (from Dianjiang international) e-mailed me with a pictures from the orphanage and that the CCAI
was there doing training. I will go to my brother in law's work tomorrow to post them onto the DJ international website.
Hopefully I will also be able to post pictures onto my blog from there.
Talk soon

Arizona Day 4!

Hello hot hot Hello!!

Holy freaking Hottness batman!! I love the heat, and even this is too hot for me!
You can sit in the sun for about 5 mins, and then have to run to the shade. I am getting "brown" but very slowly. I am being very careful, as it would be so easy to burn to a crisp in about 10mins.
Actually, it's soo hot that even my dad went into the pool just now, we all ran to get our cameras!
I haven't hit the pool yet, it has to be even hotter than this for me to get in the water. Because it's soo hot the water seems very very cold. (put your feet in and it gives you a headache in your feet cold)LOL
I'm sure it would feel refreshing, but so does a margarita in my hand!

We went into the Sonorian desert yesterday. It was so beautiful. We drove along side a mountain
on a very narrow road, that had rocks on one side and death on the other side. Death was about a 200 foot drop straight down!!
I thought my mom was going to have another stroke! LOL It was very scary, the road was full of hairpin
turns and was only 1 lane. I have some great video!

Today Cheryl and I are taking a jewelry making class. Isabelle and Abigail are right into glass bead braclets, and I have no idea how to make them. so I'm taking a class for them! LOL

Day 3 in Arizona

It's 9:00am here (11:00am), the sun is shining, and we're getting ready to go for a day trip to Tortilla Flats. It's kinda of like a mini Grand Canyon. (Sorry Andrea, I don't think I'll be making it to the Grand Canyon). I think we might do Vegas instead!
We went shopping quickly last night, and I bought 7 different types of swimsuits/swim tops and bottoms etc..
Thank God Frank never looks on my blog! LOL
The tops are really nice and I can wear them with skirts or shorts etc..
We're going shopping again tonight.
The scenery here is beautiful. I love the way people decorate thier houses. I wonder how much I can bring back???

Hello from Arizona

Well, I made it. The plane ride wasn't bad at all. Early, but not bad. Left Fredericton at 5:45am and arrived in
Toronto at 7am. Left for Arizona at 9:30am and arrived 4 1/2 hours later. Sat with a couple from the North Shore and they ended up knowing my uncle. Small world.
Its is quite nice here. The temperature was 32 yesterday afternoon and today at 9am, its 28. But it not
so uncomfortable. It's a very dry heat, I even had on a sweater yesterday!
Today we're taking it easy because tomorrow we're going to go to Flagstaff overnight to go sightseeing.
I miss everyone soo much!!
I miss you girls! Mommy loves you a whole bunch!!
I can't post any pictures, my sister computer is from 1912 !!! If I can get to an internet cafe I'll post some.
Love you!!

More pictures

Here are some more pictures....I took close to 200 pics!!

CONCENTRATION

Here are 2 of my favorite pictures of this weekend!
Such concentration!!

2007 Atlantic Gymnastics Competition

We were away in PEI this weekend for Abigail's gymnastics. The 2007 Atlantics Competition.
This is where all of the Atlantic provinces come together to see which province fairs the best.
For the most part New Brunswick placed 2nd.
Abigial did GREAT, considering there was a much larger group of competitors.

She placed 2nd on Beam
(the apparatus that has been giving her such a hard time)
and 5th on Bars.

Overall for her level for Team New Brunswick she placed 5th!!!!

We are sooo proud!!

Of course Panda was there to cheer her on!!

This isn't quite what I had in mind...

when I started potty training...... She has given "port-a-potty" a whole new meaning.

1st she played with blocks,




















then she then she tried on the apron


















That potty never left her bum!!
She carried it between her legs all around the room. It was soo funny.

But I put an end to it when she tried to go down the slide!

sisterly love....

ahhhhh......Big sisters......

There fun to pose with.......






















And give me boobs way before my time!!!!


she kept patting her "implants" saying "boobies" "boobies"

she had just finished painting with her sisters, that is why her dress is so dirty and her hair is a mess!!
