Let's Blog!

So I've decided to join the blogging world. Seems like it is easier then just e-mailing people what we are doing. Not sure how to do this, but will learn as I go I guess.

Not sure where to start so I will tell you a little bit about us most of it I am sure you know. Ed and I have been married 12 years in August, we met at NAU in flagstaff, AZ. Ed works for Fed Ex Ground as a Terminal Manager. I (Bonnie) am a homemaker and stay busy with our five beautiful children. Joshua is (10) will be 11 in July, and will be in the 6th grade and enjoys cub scouts, piano, bike riding, and sports mostly Baseball. Aaron is (9) and will be in the 4th grade, he enjoys reading, playing webkinz, baseball, cub scouts, piano and singing he is always singing. Tyler is (6) and will be in the 1st grade. He loves the outdoors weather it be climbing trees, gardening, or playing with worms, toads and whatever else he finds (I fear the older he gets the worse the things he will bring to me will be). He also loves to ride his bike he is so excited that he has learned how this past month, he wants to go on a bike ride daily. Alycia is (4) and is the princess of our house. She loves her dolls and kitchen, and all her toys. If you ask her her favorite color she won't just give you one answer as she has 3 favorite colors it is cute. Anytime someone asks her her name she can't just say Alycia, she has to say Alycia May Halliday, which is also cute. Zachary is (1) he is in the fun stage of getting into everything, very curious. He is also very patient as my other kids would throw fits till they got what they wanted.

We took a family vacation to Steamboat the end of May and had a blast, just a week with the seven of us and no plans just to do whatever we liked. We hiked a lot which we miss as Nebraska has NO mountains. We saw waterfalls which are my favorite. we swam, rented bikes, and rented a boat. It was a very relaxing time, and wish we could go back. The place we stayed was so nice made me feel rich, it was a gold crown on our timeshare, it had 2 bedrooms, plus a living room with a kitchen. The pool and hot tubs were awesome and we also enjoyed the steam room and sauna, and Ed and I visited the gym every morning, which I needed very much. It was awesome, but as all good things they have to end, DARN IT!! We loved being together as a family and bonding and laughing and all that. Josh was so excited, one night we went to a really nice restaurant and he got a swordfish, he loves seafood, and he had just done a report in school on the swordfish so this was a treat. What a great way to start the Summer. hope all your summers are going well.
