Summer 2010

We have finally returned from our trip to California/Oregon. We drove the motorhome and camped along the way as we visited the Redwoods, ocean, Crater Lake, Diamond Lake, and East Lake. We also stopped by to see some old friends in Northern California. I was a little nervous for this trip because this was our first big adventure driving in the motorhome. I wasnt sure if Bob could handle such a beast of a vehicle and I knew I wasnt going to attempt to drive it. I am too much of a wimp!! Nevertheless..Bob did a fantastic job driving(only scraping one tree) and I am happy to say there were no major incidents. It only took about 12 hours of driving for me to get use to all the bumps, turns, and noises to realize we werent going to tip over and wouldnt hit a car when we took a turn. I strongly recommend going 65 or less, something Bob eventually figured out. Lol...I loved spending time with my girls and love that they enjoy camping, fishing, and hanging out with us. These are the kind of memories that fill my heart and put a smile on my face. Thanks to my wonderful family for another fun -filled, laughter-filled, drama-filled and most memorable trip.

Sarah Marie Walsh

Well, we made it back from vacation and things have finally started to calm down. We took a trip to visit my family and see the newest member of our family. My sister gave birth to a little girl in March and named her Sarah Marie. Bob and I were asked to be her godparents and the baptism was beautiful. Oh, it has been so long since we have had a baby in the family. She smelled sooo good, although my girls tell me its just the smell of formula and spit up. One day they will understand what I am talking about. You forget just how tiny they are and all the wonderful little noises they make...even if it is just gas!! I didnt expect to feel this way and I miss her like crazy. We had a great time visiting the rest of the family as well. I always love going back home and miss my family very much. I cant wait to see you all again soon and cherish the time we spent together. I love you baby Sarah!!

Stomache flu

Ok, I havent been on here in a while. I took a much needed vacation ( which I will share with you later) and then 2 days after returning home I got food poisoning. Ugghhh...nothing worse than being sick. So hopefully within the next few days I can share with you my trip and the wonderful time I had becoming a Godparent again.

Freedom Bundle

On sale during the month of June is the Freedom Bundle. This bundle includes one warmer with two different tops. You can use it for the 4th of July, Christmas time or just because. I just got mine and its too cute. Dont wait..this deal is really great.

Special Olympics State Track Meet

For those of you who dont know, my family and I volunteer with the Special Olympics. I cant begin to tell you how proud I am that my husband and children have participated in this program with me. I have always had a passion for working with Special Needs children. It all started in High School when I volunteered to help them out in gym class. I dont know if any of you have ever experienced that moment when you know what your mission in life is. For me it came shortly after spending my time with these girls in gym. At least once a day this girl would ask me "What is your name?" I would tease her and say "You know my name!" but I usually ended up having to tell her again that my name was Maria. Then one day she asked me the usual "What's your name?" This time I told her "You already know my name, it starts with the letter M remember?" She stood there thinking and saying "MMMMMMMMMM" and then came the word that I will never forget...Muck. I couldnt believe it. I had so much fun that year and was truly blessed to have met my new friend. She had named me MUCK and every now and again you can still hear my family calling me by that name. Here are a few pics from this past weekend. I hope you enjoy!!
