UP


I know some of you may have seen this movie when it originally came out, but Ty and I are too cheap for that. However, for those if you who have not seen it...rent it.

It is an inspiring little story that reminds us of the most important things in life, and how once things get the worst possible, you can only go up.

I love Ty, my family, and my friends.

JEEP=2 vs. NISSAN=0


It must be a curse...

Some of you may know of the loathing that lies deep within my heart for my husband's cherished '97 Jeep Wrangler. I have wished many bad things upon that little box on wheels (without my husband inside of it), however it seems to be a relentless little booger.

Please refer to this post to witness the Jeep's first triumph. This is when our perfectly good truck ran into two concrete barriers. See you later leather seats, CD player, and A/C. See you later truck.

Well, it seems the curse of the Jeep has struck again.

Last Saturday as Ty was tending our friend's little boy. Ty and little Davin were in the house busting a move to, "All The Singles Ladies," when they were interrupted by what sounded like a gun.

Well, apparently it wasn't a gun.

A drunk driver plowed our Xterra while it was parked on the street.

Our beloved Nissan Xterra ,that actually feels like a real car when your inside, as opposed to a cursed little metal box (Jeep) that rides like a snow globe being shaken by a giant, has gone to the car heaven.

Sad. Tear...




It seems that the Jeep will never go away, another tear of sadness...


And and ton of happiness 'cause I still have this guy...


We are a one Jeep family once again.

Halloween in the Sunshine State...


This past weekend I headed down to Florida to spend some time in the sun with my family, especially my 89 year old grandmother who is visiting from Costa Rica.

When I flew in Friday evening, we headed over to Gio and Jessica's house for soup and pumpkin carving. We found this cute little girl upon arrival...


Jess' and Leslie's pumpkins...

My sweet Otra Mama and I...

By the pool on Saturday, NOVEMBER 1st. This is why I love Florida...


The ladies...

At the Portifino in Orlando...


The trip was too quick. It was wonderful seeing my grandmother who I haven't seen in about three years. She is such a special lady. She is quite possibly the kindest person I know.
Love you dearly, Otra Mama.

Haunted Boise...

A couple weeks ago we got together with some friends and went on a haunted tour of Boise.

Here is the first creepy picture that we got. Yes, that is Beau getting struck by lighting, and Wendy is just smiling about it...


2nd creepy picture: a ghost at the cemetery...


Look closely...


There it is, the scariest apparition of the night, Dallas...



Trying to scare you...



We also headed to the Idaho State Penitentiary that has been closed since the 70's. That was a pretty cool place...



Boo...







Work it...
