Spring is here!

Flowers are blooming. 80 degrees has been the average for the past 5 days. Rain is in the forecast for this weekend. SPRING IS HERE!!! I know it's been awhile since we've posted. Lots of things have been happening in our family over the past few months. I don't have any new pictures to share, but hope to soon! So, I'll just give a quick recap of what has happened over the past few months...

February was pretty uneventful. We took a trip to visit some friends in McCall for a weekend, had a blast playing games and just catching up with them!

In March we celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary! I still cant believe it's been 3 years already! The salon I work at also opened their new Meridian Salon and Spa! I'm so excited! things have been getting much busier, week by week! it's great having new steady clients!
Also some sad news this month, my fathers mother, my grandmother, Lorraine Anderson, passed away at age 82. I was able to fly home to attend the funeral and spend time with family. It was wonderful getting caught up with so many people I haven't seen in years. My grandmother will be greatly missed, by our family, and many friends.

April has proven to be quite the month so far. I've been traveling alot back and forth between Boise and Seattle, for family, and for work. Work both at the salon, and with Consolidated, selling candy, has been keeping me quite busy this month! Thankfully!
We've also just received some very saddening news in our family. My grandpa Grisham was diagnosed with Melanoma. It's spread throughout his body to several places, and is stage 4. Please, Please pray for his swift recovery and for his battle against this horrible disease.

I truly hope the next time we post we will have better news to share. Until then, please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers.

This is what happens when Lilly finds open, empty boxes all over the living room, they become her favorite napping spot for about 3 days.

More pics with the Nikon

This is what Abby does with her toys... she pounces, paws, jumps, and digs at her bumper or ball, or whatever she's playing with, until I try to take it away or she sits and waits for me to throw it. She's hilarious, because the whole time she makes this playful growl/snarl at the toy, it's completely harmless and I cant help but laugh at her lack of toughness.

New Camera!!

For Christmas, Brent and I were given an amazing gift, a new camera! the Norris' gave us a Nikon D3000, which is wonderful, in that one of the neatest features is that it connects to Brent's spotting scope that he uses when hunting! Giving us the ultimate zoom. We received 2 lenses with it, the standard attachment, and the next step up zoom lens. I have to say, this camera is pretty sweet. I got to play with it the entire drive home, and filled an entire 8GB memory card! Most were deletes, but I was having fun, so here are just some of the results from our trip home, and remember, most of these were taken at 70+ mph.

Some Christmas happenings

These are a bit late, but I had to upload, resize, adjust, etc. So here are our pics from the 2009 Consolidated foods inc. Company Christmas party!! It was a bit different this year, as I was the employee, and Brent was my date! I have been coming to this party as his date for the past 8 years! This was actually our first date in 2002, he needed a date to this very party, and I said yes! It's been an amazing journey, and I am thankful for this holiday tradition and all that it means to us as a couple!

I'm not going to label anything below, it's already a huge post! so Enjoy!!
