If you don't have this lottery pass you have to ride in school buses in order to see Denali. Our dear friends, the Dekays, were so generous and gave us one of their lottery passes. I hear they are hard to get so we were very fortunate. We had amazing weather, beautiful views of Denali, a nice, free cabin to stay in, good friends, and good wildlife viewing. This was by far my best Alaska experience. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiGkSncNxwdWUJ92rQ5sYhKk69Y4k05H6NhNynF8CTfx_ldVLQxvVBDU2NKHfoxn1VV9SMDpQJYnwbImfKpkJKLDD8ZGu5d9YkyDacK2ppnA7Rb2EQCcZUuHAQBERIJEyiUjaHKGg4Gg/s1600/August+2010+076.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiGkSncNxwdWUJ92rQ5sYhKk69Y4k05H6NhNynF8CTfx_ldVLQxvVBDU2NKHfoxn1VV9SMDpQJYnwbImfKpkJKLDD8ZGu5d9YkyDacK2ppnA7Rb2EQCcZUuHAQBERIJEyiUjaHKGg4Gg/s320/August+2010+076.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520307438837271826" /></a><br />Matthew lost his third tooth on his birthday just as he did last year<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSrLfxxRNH3kLHYcm4gSbnr_dsMEM5BOTTbN9sx1-kF1IKlZDVAqRkLOey5bPeRAXhY4qIUuL3rCwgsa8T4FncMaqZaM50hMtKmrCzSq-o_g9RejC4TxUmHLgOkJRvjek0Onod_Qxheg/s1600/August+2010+072.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSrLfxxRNH3kLHYcm4gSbnr_dsMEM5BOTTbN9sx1-kF1IKlZDVAqRkLOey5bPeRAXhY4qIUuL3rCwgsa8T4FncMaqZaM50hMtKmrCzSq-o_g9RejC4TxUmHLgOkJRvjek0Onod_Qxheg/s320/August+2010+072.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520307222432695202" /></a><br /><br />Matthew and Drew had so much fun with their friends Lauren and Carson.

He had a very fun birthday and was spoiled by his family and friends. He now has collected all of the Toy Story figures and has more "lego guys" than we can keep track of. Drew loves little toys and always has one in his hands, pockets, shoes, or any other spot he can find for them. He loves legos and enjoyed his lego cake we made for him.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5hc7eQJa1panss-MSeukCRbOZ3PG47wFXI8SEwIUCZ8eJXGGjIIBfJrUlgIjZW4Dt_SmqVANumRP96NXNFLZ8N6rSFGPPU3a7vtAx4YwB_ZS7lKUxERxeogsP_ciRVmoMrEBoVlxuLw/s1600/march+2010+017.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5hc7eQJa1panss-MSeukCRbOZ3PG47wFXI8SEwIUCZ8eJXGGjIIBfJrUlgIjZW4Dt_SmqVANumRP96NXNFLZ8N6rSFGPPU3a7vtAx4YwB_ZS7lKUxERxeogsP_ciRVmoMrEBoVlxuLw/s320/march+2010+017.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462260169551433346" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRI0mKhIUerz-_Dwtqf9vYsGbfggD9hVot09poGP9iGFaoCQKxNNxbwhHIzh_q7pK_QftMz8p5qJ0hpLGxEpb4vVWNesyxlWydLUdOgNlYjMkn62gJmCoL3gg1gGlAJ9PcL2goKWoK9w/s1600/march+2010+019.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRI0mKhIUerz-_Dwtqf9vYsGbfggD9hVot09poGP9iGFaoCQKxNNxbwhHIzh_q7pK_QftMz8p5qJ0hpLGxEpb4vVWNesyxlWydLUdOgNlYjMkn62gJmCoL3gg1gGlAJ9PcL2goKWoK9w/s320/march+2010+019.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462259902090085586" /></a>Brooke Lowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16972592656401658010noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721931836945020.post-69396572628821492422010-02-05T15:40:00.000-08:002010-02-05T16:15:14.155-08:00Escape to ParadiseOkay, it wasn't Hawaii, but it sure was a wonderful escape from winter! We were able to spend some time with my brother Ryan and his wife Jessica and Kaleb the first week. The next week we met up with Erica and her boys Dawson and Isaac and Trisha and Naomi (all cousins). It was so much fun and Matthew and Drew loved being with their cousins. We also saw Brandee and Jeremy Hubbard which was wonderful. Disneyland truly is magical and I cannot wait until our next trip in 2011 when all the new rides will be comleted. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKLQG4DkC3KAKPkoCiR5MT4WbHw4Reu67GAIs-ewmSilhQuMCAdp5ENJ76kCoz4oT6g-SMLd3M2ZOWI4uZPVVmxzsO8yJ5oQHKGKxKSg6SHHR4463nIOfihsiZ5_vIZQ_U7HsJf_XHRQ/s1600-h/California+2010+013.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I now understand why the flu kills those who are already weakened! We, along with the family upstairs have been struck. High fevers, chills, body aches, headaches, sore throats, and a horrible cough are some of the symptoms we've had. I hope this is not a sign of what this winter has in store for us (I think winter is already here. There is snow on the mountains and it was 40 degrees today. YIKES!) I think we are on the mend and are hopefully now immune to this yucky flu.<br /><br /> Poor Matthew didn't even want to celebrate his 5th birthday. He has been looking forward to this birthday with much anticipation. We were able to drug him enough to celebrate around 1030 pm Friday night. I wish I had taken more pictures, but H1N1 had taken me over! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATTHEW. <br /><br />Mario Kart came just in time!

We climbed Mt. Baldy last week in hopes of some delicious blueberries. I underestimated the rainstorms here. Jesse wanted to turn back after it started to rain but I was obsessed with picking blueberries. When we reached the top there were blueberries galore. Delicious....no. I was expecting Costco quality blueberries. We literally slid down the mountain on our way back to the jeep. It was definitely a hike to remember. We were covered from head to toe in mud, any boys dream! Thanks for the ponchos mom. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmnvjsbl3eiOLF8xRZRYnS8yT151HVkWYHKVFe5B9wriqGV1i4C0JXAD0fDpO7CCH9gDnBJbD8ryaUGg_EWqQDcH9pEs61-7OFlhz_Ucc3x9870UNiJO5dC9vKXZk-D5hxFDvHBTnAKA/s1600-h/alaska+summer+2009+030.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmnvjsbl3eiOLF8xRZRYnS8yT151HVkWYHKVFe5B9wriqGV1i4C0JXAD0fDpO7CCH9gDnBJbD8ryaUGg_EWqQDcH9pEs61-7OFlhz_Ucc3x9870UNiJO5dC9vKXZk-D5hxFDvHBTnAKA/s320/alaska+summer+2009+030.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371769784963676562" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ3RAjOa98ljKhgwUpc4JDE_agIZaPqw1MWMQFU2QaUARViiWvdjhByXVayoYVPDw5m0oG2Svu-1wtoBAfjnEk-PWXxZUWZGpv1YpIKKjA8KbCzGwPAHHvhjJfytKzkdNCaEY3JSYIgw/s1600-h/alaska+summer+2009+028.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ3RAjOa98ljKhgwUpc4JDE_agIZaPqw1MWMQFU2QaUARViiWvdjhByXVayoYVPDw5m0oG2Svu-1wtoBAfjnEk-PWXxZUWZGpv1YpIKKjA8KbCzGwPAHHvhjJfytKzkdNCaEY3JSYIgw/s320/alaska+summer+2009+028.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371769524609625330" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxvFYq9wxJ4G5_lTlndTJ4ASdmHv5mFdHhzGxPOpqeIffCDiP9HAACjfzKGJ2XrXUtLipykPbU1V4F_37mGBnW25k0DlKaSx15WDCDd_kJjm2CeDCQ0IKvhps5NF6-UXsHT89TaO_tEw/s1600-h/alaska+summer+2009+029.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxvFYq9wxJ4G5_lTlndTJ4ASdmHv5mFdHhzGxPOpqeIffCDiP9HAACjfzKGJ2XrXUtLipykPbU1V4F_37mGBnW25k0DlKaSx15WDCDd_kJjm2CeDCQ0IKvhps5NF6-UXsHT89TaO_tEw/s320/alaska+summer+2009+029.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371769283099017474" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIPYkVR9D8ZseV04c65-hV-1vmPrWEsOVkcio_DW6xeOpEbrfIL98_4mxnPwPQUqTyhaAlYz7K0FomhIDxRn1-GkzxghW-SAHe_6l860UUR8bmoW3ugapKMdcfCdgc2vFjgD7Rllz6sQ/s1600-h/alaska+summer+2009+031.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIPYkVR9D8ZseV04c65-hV-1vmPrWEsOVkcio_DW6xeOpEbrfIL98_4mxnPwPQUqTyhaAlYz7K0FomhIDxRn1-GkzxghW-SAHe_6l860UUR8bmoW3ugapKMdcfCdgc2vFjgD7Rllz6sQ/s320/alaska+summer+2009+031.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371768951101072450" /></a>Brooke Lowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16972592656401658010noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721931836945020.post-32662990369880582862009-08-18T23:38:00.001-07:002009-08-18T23:50:38.239-07:00And the Winner is.........I haven't figured out how to do the random drawing thing online so we did the good old fashioned hat draw. <br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqlUro0cg_U8jbmLPJ1X8ihpgp4-HJombQhwnrcoZGjcu9dt9jaNox-YwWW5f5g3G51HCR4MUoRt5EqQw6mrgz0qx-Ko-ZJZI9RDh_6pbBufdTttMiRHKAe5WlvyfvNcxFxGKFM_baNw/s1600-h/alaska+summer+2009+033.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371561094702120322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqlUro0cg_U8jbmLPJ1X8ihpgp4-HJombQhwnrcoZGjcu9dt9jaNox-YwWW5f5g3G51HCR4MUoRt5EqQw6mrgz0qx-Ko-ZJZI9RDh_6pbBufdTttMiRHKAe5WlvyfvNcxFxGKFM_baNw/s320/alaska+summer+2009+033.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div></div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip5wmC3GZuTCOcpZsYghb4UmNJ5H36FLuSTHnOX5Bu6xNI9yz0SriomdAxjeLVFN5XR0bRrGeyxunNVeuA9UjWn-z6CWRCM-Q2OliKvzfeSUmYNr1Z7Ivmg1J-Gpfnm2xvvG4HRll8mA/s1600-h/alaska+summer+2009+035.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371561326650877698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip5wmC3GZuTCOcpZsYghb4UmNJ5H36FLuSTHnOX5Bu6xNI9yz0SriomdAxjeLVFN5XR0bRrGeyxunNVeuA9UjWn-z6CWRCM-Q2OliKvzfeSUmYNr1Z7Ivmg1J-Gpfnm2xvvG4HRll8mA/s320/alaska+summer+2009+035.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Congratulations Brandee!

I would have to say this was the highlight of my Alaska adventures thus far. When you get to the top you can ride across the river in a hand tram. I was surprised at how high above the water the tram was. Not for someone who is afraid of heights! Matthew and Drew loved it. It is 2.5 miles each way. Drew's legs hurt for 3 days afterwards.

I know the suspense was probably killing you. I once heard that moving is right next to death and divorce when it comes to stressful events. I have not experienced death nor divorce and never want to! I dread the day we have to pack up and move again. <br /><br />We lived with my parents the month of June while Jesse uhauled his way to Alaska. The boys and I flew to Alaska July 6th while Jesse was in New York doing some training. We had a great time with friends and family while in Utah. We are currently living in Eagle River Alaska and enjoying it so far. The weather is an adjustment. I never thought I would crave the blazing Vegas rays. Today was about 60 degrees and rainy. I will post a few pictures of our adventures the last couple of months. I am sorry that I did not get the chance to tell all my LV friends goodbye. I miss all of you and wish I had more time that last month.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNQ0fIjoqrfcUyb509zgqQ2rnmlNmn9W-58gcLc-9eVyMP5Tmvl16fAs1rLdOaxb9HHKxgQhb1y2_fNOwUwHongwLwjqtG-G_OAk_rAMafBeKAHfjWNGTvvBpsLx5O0bM-TMYB1jSCeQ/s1600-h/alaska+move+017.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNQ0fIjoqrfcUyb509zgqQ2rnmlNmn9W-58gcLc-9eVyMP5Tmvl16fAs1rLdOaxb9HHKxgQhb1y2_fNOwUwHongwLwjqtG-G_OAk_rAMafBeKAHfjWNGTvvBpsLx5O0bM-TMYB1jSCeQ/s320/alaska+move+017.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362651046081020322" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjdOwz9Jg-YbOj-P8uRtQWTsKWJPuVw3UDAfSHtvtB2tn0qRqDyf_uufjb1rup527u1DHI0pAD20n3OG0X6butmUHPFK74EpS_c_mPJnYKSvK6wXFV4OO3xPjZ-UmLg24V93STfezCPQ/s1600-h/alaska+move+006.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjdOwz9Jg-YbOj-P8uRtQWTsKWJPuVw3UDAfSHtvtB2tn0qRqDyf_uufjb1rup527u1DHI0pAD20n3OG0X6butmUHPFK74EpS_c_mPJnYKSvK6wXFV4OO3xPjZ-UmLg24V93STfezCPQ/s320/alaska+move+006.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362649942563108178" /></a><br />Jesse and his dad drove our stuff all the way here (3400 miles) This is a picture of them at Lake Louise Canada.

I decided to tag along with the boys. Jesse told me multiple times that I was not invited on this interview. I was told this while Drew was throwing up in the dental school waiting room and as they were throwing their tantrums. It's hard to understand why he wouldn't have wanted us there. Anyways, that was my first time visiting LA and I don't know how I feel about the place. Traffic is HORRIBLE and I didn't feel like I belonged. While Drew was throwing up in the Dental clinic everyone just stared at us and didn't offer to help. That would not happen here. I think people here in Las Vegas are typically pretty nice and helpful. Besides the normal drama that comes with Children we had a great time at the beach.Brooke Lowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16972592656401658010noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721931836945020.post-76804035844983115392008-11-11T23:44:00.000-08:002008-11-12T00:00:09.051-08:00Halloween<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwB2hpD3owHqESkOmpp8JZMmKJyTn14SzWntqnZBpJ1nuSyqUCnTagz8Ufr6S_soYG0ScrJrE7BzhLX5mAPvhh5_ZAoSTTpRd8Ct_fzdbm_fm8nNrh-uPjwDzly9y7INP_tFlz8VnAug/s1600-h/halloween+2008+008.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwB2hpD3owHqESkOmpp8JZMmKJyTn14SzWntqnZBpJ1nuSyqUCnTagz8Ufr6S_soYG0ScrJrE7BzhLX5mAPvhh5_ZAoSTTpRd8Ct_fzdbm_fm8nNrh-uPjwDzly9y7INP_tFlz8VnAug/s320/halloween+2008+008.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267676634274904354" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOM87pH-KrxdF39pAAeWuPpMb4aOjvXTRYFvx0X4XpGvA5sGJNX2luZYnvH4TKj6cClA3AVw0MlyHDVJ0oqiY8jtfLSfRKgAjBhb5fY4SH8pg263fJX4XOrIn-9k5X6HUJ0G0qj5lrJw/s1600-h/halloween+2008+004.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOM87pH-KrxdF39pAAeWuPpMb4aOjvXTRYFvx0X4XpGvA5sGJNX2luZYnvH4TKj6cClA3AVw0MlyHDVJ0oqiY8jtfLSfRKgAjBhb5fY4SH8pg263fJX4XOrIn-9k5X6HUJ0G0qj5lrJw/s320/halloween+2008+004.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267675301879299474" /></a><br />THese are late like always!

I need to start being a little more careful what I say and do.Brooke Lowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16972592656401658010noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721931836945020.post-53381512544475908912008-10-16T22:52:00.000-07:002008-10-16T23:08:28.728-07:00Tagged by Erica<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzdV3YS3Aivs5AhHwGVTax5a64qHKL7psE5tqTJZP5sxV4rnl-F97Q3SdW_CBIGghm0LeTFhLH99g6K3Ml4ZZnzpCH0qP6CY0dtHOlUtzK8gNow-32DQk4dAgucClKa_y_HG4qlpmcIA/s1600-h/Picture+012.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzdV3YS3Aivs5AhHwGVTax5a64qHKL7psE5tqTJZP5sxV4rnl-F97Q3SdW_CBIGghm0LeTFhLH99g6K3Ml4ZZnzpCH0qP6CY0dtHOlUtzK8gNow-32DQk4dAgucClKa_y_HG4qlpmcIA/s320/Picture+012.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258000153021914354" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXR1Jzml9a4tr18VOiVBxEWtdreBk1T06mNAWbNZvZag5yUr0YbRH2L8Zc5AepkT7i1xLZzNq2ecjdmDFyQmuUdqzd11P_uJjGGb9B8vVgoLnAKmrZpqSsi5XXDfad_Lakh-2XsxzyaA/s1600-h/drew+and+matthew+015.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXR1Jzml9a4tr18VOiVBxEWtdreBk1T06mNAWbNZvZag5yUr0YbRH2L8Zc5AepkT7i1xLZzNq2ecjdmDFyQmuUdqzd11P_uJjGGb9B8vVgoLnAKmrZpqSsi5XXDfad_Lakh-2XsxzyaA/s320/drew+and+matthew+015.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257998029391151890" /></a><br />I am a little slow at getting around to my tag from Erica. I am suppose to post the fourth picture in my fourth folder so here it is. This picture was taken the night Ken and Natalie got engaged. I think. Ken and Nat have been so good about coming to visit us while we've been here. Ken probably makes his visits here to gamble, but we enjoy having him anyways. He has a free place to stay after all his money is blown! We are glad that Ken is a part of our family. The picture of Ken and Jesse changing Matthew's first diaper is the first time I met Ken. Seems like forever ago.Brooke Lowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16972592656401658010noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721931836945020.post-33736544452281906852008-09-25T01:06:00.001-07:002008-09-25T01:53:46.951-07:00I have a lot of traveling to do<img src="http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=t&chs=440x220&chtm=usa&chf=bg,s,336699&chco=cc0000&chd=s:999999999999&chld=CAFLCOWYAZHIMTUTNYNVIDMD" width="440" height="220" ><br/>visited 12 states (24%)<br/><a href="http://douweosinga.com/projects/visited?region=usa">Create your own visited map of The United States</a> or determine the <a href="http://douweosinga.com/projects/thenextpresident">next president</a>Brooke Lowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16972592656401658010noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721931836945020.post-92060049248926213042008-09-24T02:36:00.001-07:002008-09-26T00:45:13.614-07:00Matthew's First Day of PreschoolI have been waiting 4 years for this day! Matthew loves his preschool class. His teacher, Mrs. Aubrey is the best and Matthew adores her. Drew and I are enjoying our Tuesday and Thursday afternoons together. It is very peaceful when Matthew is away. Drew is able to play with Matthew's toys without the fear of being attacked from behind. They are a lot easier to care for when separated. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLKd4mwSdZ-NuZjKbTioaKG0FlVc8yCoda5uNrq5kgVi0N2u631coOy3-yADNcRWDGP7Lv6nE_78wGlBJr2JvjYTeMtmEge34hlDh3Sdwi2Jp1w3ol6NOiqcN5uBloRin8IMxJA1dR2w/s1600-h/disneyland+2008+029.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249521779913097682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLKd4mwSdZ-NuZjKbTioaKG0FlVc8yCoda5uNrq5kgVi0N2u631coOy3-yADNcRWDGP7Lv6nE_78wGlBJr2JvjYTeMtmEge34hlDh3Sdwi2Jp1w3ol6NOiqcN5uBloRin8IMxJA1dR2w/s320/disneyland+2008+029.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Brooke Lowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16972592656401658010noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721931836945020.post-1463079646476249892008-09-24T01:54:00.000-07:002008-09-24T02:31:44.533-07:00CaliforniaOur trips are never long enough when we visit Southern California. I have been sucked into Disneyland and truly believe it is the most Magical place on earth. I don't know who enjoys it more me or my children.
