Powell Trip!! June 2009....

What a fantastic trip :) Gorgeous water, Fabulous weather, yummy eats, wonderful company!!!! Who could ask for anything more... Its a tradition to hit lake powell every year for us! This year we had allot of great friends and fun!! We got to do some site seeing, wakeboarding, skiing, tubing, swimming and lots of hanging out catching up! We had such a blast, we all love the water and it seems like everytime we do get to go on the lake it just takes all the worries on life away!!!!!! You feel relaxed and totally enjoy yourself. I can't wait to do it again next year, hopefully more people can come to enjoy the fun in the sun :) Yahoo

Gotta love the lake :)

We went out to Sand Hollow Saturday 6-6-2009 and it was such a beautiful day! I had so much fun hanging out with Mitch and the girls :) We all "LOVE" the lake, it makes our family days that much more fun! I am so proud of my family, they mean the world to me..... I don't my days for granted, I appreciate and cherish every moment I get family time! The girls are just growing up too fast, they have new stories everyday to share. We all have such a close bond that I will hold close to my heart :) Before I know it they'll be graduating high school and starting their lives as young adults, so everyday has a special meaning to me! Thanks girls for being you! You are such amazing little girls and I am so glad you're mine. I adore being your mother and I hope you know how much I love you!

My little hairdressers'

I couldn't resist, this is too cute!! I came home from work and saw Kassidee and Maddison were playing hairdresser! They used our bed post as the head, Maddison's hanna montana hair wig, her jacket as the body and then they styled the hair with barrets and handbands.... It's amazing how smart kids are and the idea's they come up with... I love these moments and of course I love to take photo's and document them!

Maddison's Program

Time is just flying by! Excuse my being so behind on my posting, here was Maddison's kindergarten program May 21st 2009. Her class did such an amazing job and they were all so cute! Their songs and acting were fun to watch, they have all grown so much through this year! Her teacher Mrs. Buzzell was such a wonderful women! I was very impressed with all she did for my little Maddi girl and preparing all the kids for 1st grade.. I am so proud of Maddison and her accomplishments. She is SO excited for 1st grade, all day and she gets to eat school lunch like big sister! I can't believe my girls are going to be 9 and 6 and headed to 1st and 4th grade... I am looking forward to this upcoming school year!

31st Birthday

Another year older and I love every minute of it too! I had another "FABULOUS" year with all my wonderful family and friends.... I want to take an extra moment and express my appreciation and love to everyone of you :) I am so blessed to have such amazing people in my life! I am so thankful for all the great relationships I have and I cherish all the memories I get to share.. For my birthday this year I got double action!!! First we went out to the lake and it was such a beautful day! We had some friends join us and of course had a blast.. I got to see some of my other wonderful friends out on the lake too, that evening we had a BBQ at my house and everyone came over and hung out! It was so much fun!!! Thank you all for the company and for all my awesome gifts. That next weekend we headed to Salt Lake and my close and dear friends Shane & Natalie threw a party/BBQ at their house for all our friends! It was a "BLAST" and I loved seeing everyone and hanging out - thank you all too for the awesome memories and gifts! I couldn't ask for anything more.... Mitch, I am so honored to be your wife, and the mother of my two beautiful girls Kassidee and Maddison! You guys do SO much for me and I am so thankful everyday of my life to have such an "AMAZING" family :)

12 year Anniversary

Another fabulous year with my honey! I love scrapblog and blogger, they help me to document these wonderful moments in my life..... Mitch and I had our 12th anniversary April 19th 2009, we had our Cancun trip planned April 30th 2009 but due to the swine flu we weren't able to make it or I should say didn't want to chance it. So we rescheduled for September 23rd 2009. We both are very excited to go even though we were bummed that we weren't able to make it on our original date. So my parents took our girls anyway for the weekend and we decided to hit Mesquite NV, we stayed at the Falcon Ridge resort. It was a beautiful and romantic room! It had a fantastic lobby and pool. We had such a relaxing time, we went to a nice dinner and saw a movie Saturday night and then of course played..... Our trip was paid for to say the least :):):) I just want to tell Mitch that I love you and love everything you do for me and our family! You are the best husband ever! I look forward to many more years with you, and can't wait to document those many more memories........... Happy Anniversary!!!
I have been a little behind on posting and I am okay with that. I am making it a goal to start my publisher books to have as a keepsake for many years and to have passed down to my girls and my grandchildren and there generations.

Daddy's Poem "By" Shianne

Shianne wrote a poem about her Dad, I thought it was so precious and I couldn't resist and had to post it.. It brought tears to my eyes, Shianne I am so proud of you, your sisters and your brother Anthony! You've come so far and have become so strong. You all such beautiful young ladies and a handsome little guy!! I have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy watching all of you grow.. I don't have a current photo of Anthony, but soon hope to get one :) Yesterday was a tough day for allot of people out there - so to all of those that have lost a loved one my thoughts and prayers go out to you ........

My Dad
He was funny, he was great,
When i needed it he'd dished out all the money.
He walked from place to place, I will never forget his handsome face
My daddy spoiled me with many things,
but he gave me wisdom within.

He was kind and thoughful,
A very generous man.
He gave me encouragement & forgiveness,
For that i am your number one fan.

Before i was even a twinkle in his eyes,
God picked him to be my dad.
And now i have him wrapped around my fingers,
I will not let go.
He will forver be apart of my life,
He'll always be my hero.

I love you Daddy.
-Sincerely
Shianne Varney
