The importance of Family

Family is very important. Sometimes family members can drive us nuts but when something happens it brings everyone together and it makes the nutty things so trivial. I hope my mom and her husband and my family and my brother can all get together and have some fun times. It seems like we have too many bad times. Life passes us too fast. We need to enjoy everyday. We need to make sure that every family member knows how much we love them. We need to show them. We need to give them hugs and say I love you everyday. Sometimes one person might have to make the first move but what a person that is to be able to do that and see the big picture.
I hope that my family can get together with Mike's family on a more regular basis too. We need to have some fun. We have kind of become distant and gone in different directions. We all might think we are too busy but we really aren't. Family should be a priority. I hope this year 2009 we can all make an effort to make sure we get together. We all need to make an effort this year to make sure everyone knows how much we love them. We can show them. It's okay to show affection. It's our family!

Happy Birthday Nic!


The Girls were celebrating Nicole's 25th Birthday! WOW! I can't believe she is 25!! Holy Mama!
She sure is beautiful and smart though. And you're thinking....or at least I'm thinking....Of Course she is! What else would anyone expect. She is a Elkington/Harding/Price/Seely!!!
Me and Ashley took Nicole to Citta Gelato & Cafe. Oh my gosh! It is so good. It is authentic Italian Food! The Gelato is so good! My Favorite so far is pineapple and mixed berry.
We each had a panini and gelato. We took a few pictures with the camera. Then the owner lady that is great offered to take our picture together inside the restaurant!
It was a memorable day!

Our Family June 2008

The slide show begins with us arriving in Yellowstone. It was great. We saw alot of animals. The weather was pretty good. It snowed a couple of times, in JUNE! But you know, it made Yellowstone look so gorgeous.
In the middle of the slide show is all of us getting the yard ready for the big sending away to Germany party. My daughters were going to Germany to be nannies.
Then came the party in our yard. It was a great excuse to spruce our yard up. It looked great.
Nicole and Ashley did come back immediately from Germany. They had a great time together seeing all the sights in Germany. It just wasn't what they expected after they got separated from each other and went to their individual families.
