Just Because...

I just thought these pictures were so cute!! Grandma loves her girls!

The New Convertible Mustang!!

So, Cole got him a new convertible mustang! He was so excited about it and even more so that it's a convertible. He got it for a work vehicle to save money on gas. It needed a new transmission which he got for 1/2 the price on ebay. He was the mechanic on the job and my garage was the shop (not the first time). His sidekick, Jake, loved hanging out with him while he was working!

Happy Halloween

We had fun at my mom's halloween party! We have a tradition of decorating cookies which I look forward to every year. I love Halloween!

Birthday Fun!! (A little late)

We had a great time celebrating Tami's and my birthday. I love having our birthday so close to each other and celebrating it together!

Lava Hot Springs

We went to Lava in the middle of July with Cole's sister and her family. We go camping there every year and always have a great time. There is a "hot rock" along the river where water from the natural hot springs comes out and runs into the river. It is the place to hang out when you come back from tubing the river. Cole brought our knee board and tied it to the bridge so the kids could knee board in the river wake. I look forward to this camping trip every year!

Pine View Dam

We had a great time celebrating mom's birthday at Pine View. It's always fun to get together with everyone.

Poor Cole!!

Cole broke his heel bone at work about a month ago at work. He lost his balance on a ladder and jumped to avoid falling on his head. We didn't think to much of it until we saw the specialist. He informed us that Cole would need surgery since he broke his heel in 3 places. The surgery went really well, a plate and 7 screws later! The heel bone is pretty hard to break and very painful. So he has been home for 4 weeks now and has been in a lot of pain. Jake has been his company at home while I am at work. He has started feeling a lot better and has been more active this last week. He will be going back to work next week so we will see how that goes. He can get his cast wet so we went to the pool last weekend which was fun for both of us! I have been a very good wife if I do say so myself!! 

Dinosaur Tracks in Moab

I forgot to put this picture in my Moab post. If you look close you can see 2 Dinosaur tracks in the rock--one at the top and one at the bottom. There were actually 4 tracks in a row but I could only get 2 in the picture. Pretty cool!

Moab

We had a wonderful time in Moab this year! We live in a beautiful state! There are so many amazing rock formations it's unreal. We  went on 2 really fun rides and watched some jeeps go down and back up a really steep rock. Lots of fun!

Just thought I'd add a picture of our "Jaker boy" or Jake. He loves Cole!! The first picture is him waiting by the door for Cole to get home. 

Kevin and Kellie wedding. It was so much fun seeing all the family. I hope to get together again soon!

Does this house look familiar to any of the Lucas clan? Me and Kristen and my mom went to San Diego in March 2007. Kristen and I really wanted to go by Grandma and Grandpa's old house in Brea. The house looks pretty run down, nothing like it was when Grandma and Grandpa lived there. Their old neighbor (I can't remember her name, but mom or Leslie might know) was out working in her yard when we stopped by, so mom and Leslie visited with her while Kristen and I took turns posing in front of the house for a picture. So many fun memories at that house!

Cole and I had a wonderful Christmas! I got a ticket to High School Musical for August with all the girls, which will be fun!
We had fun playing scum on Christmas. Cole was sleeping on the couch (his favorite spot). I like Megan's pimp hat the best!
