Happy Happy Vacation

Okay so Fort Rapids Indoor water park ROCKS!! The slides are amazing and the hotel is beautiful. Lacey hung out with her siblings the whole time. She concerned her fears and went down slides. Alex was my little trooper, he was the most extreme out of us all. He went down every slide including the Black Hole (I couldn't even scream on this slide). Katey had fun with Alex going down the slides and playing wating for the bucket of water to fall on her. Emma learned a few moves in the water. Have you ever seen Ice age the Meltdown....if you have you'll understand what I'm about to say. I told Emma to attack the water. The water is her pray. And she did it. She was swimming. She went under water for about 3 seconds and was so proud of herself. As were all of us. We all had a blast. We went to the restaurant and had dinner. Went to the arcade and spent most of the money. We also let each child have about 25 dollars to spend at the gift shop. When we got to the room on Saturday night we got to watch Shreck the Third, ordered pizza and jumped from one bed to the other. I wish I got a picture of the kids faces when I walked in and saw them jumping...I just looking at them and showed them how to do it right. Mom's need some fun too! LOL Thier faces were priceless. Even Chris was amazed that I let everyone go crazy. It's a vactions people, have some fun!! And everyone did. Every one had a wonderful time and would love to go again. I will soon put up pictures (I hope) to show off our fun. I loved this little vacation and very grateful that we could go on our very first FAMILY vacation!!

Hello

I just wanted to say hello. So HELLO!!

Long Overdue Vaction

Yesterday we did it. We went to Fort Rapids indoor water park and made our reservations. We are a go for Saturday!! Emma and I spent a few minutes looking around the lodge and fell in love. Everything is so warm and cozy. They even had a fireplace in the lobby. I really felt like a Queen when I walked in there. Emma didn't want to leave of course. She wanted to stay there till Saturday, but alas we had to go. When we got home Emma grabbed the phone and made her calls to her brother and sisters. She is so exited. As are we. We have never had a family vacations before and this is long overdue. I'll keep you updated!!

Let It Snow!!

Okay so I woke up this morning and found that Columbus was covered in snow. I made it to work without being late or getting into an accident. I sit here at 6 am and think of my children going to school. We're supposed to get 3 more inches by noon today as well. LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW!!

Let It Snow

Happy Holidays!! Tis the season to be happy and kind. Have you ever noticed that when it comes close to Christmas everyone is a little sweeter, kinder and just more human?! I love this time of year. I'm surrounded by friends, family and all the people I love. What could be better than that?
