{Owl Night}

How could I forget to blog about our monthly scrap night!

It was Malinda's birthday and she loves to play basketball so we had a basketball themed birthday!

Trading cards

Thanks Stephanie for hosting and Happy Birthday Malinda!  Love your guts!

{Scrapbook Retreat}

Once again we had an UNFORGETABLE time at the retreat!  The only thing missing was Teressa, Cindy and Angie!

We had a possible sickness on alert so we bought face masks and decorated them.... hahaha we crack ourselves up

We all wore green on St Patricks Day and made our own 3 leaf clover

Sweet Madge gave everyone a massage!

Did a little 4am stair sliding with the newbie

And scrapbooking until we couldn't scrap no more (well actually I don't think I would ever get sick of scrapbooking) Time goes by so fast when we are at these retreats!

Saying good bye until November

Madge, Me, Janie, Denise, Steph, Malinda, Midge and Stacey

{Rio}

Poor Rio...got hit by a car last week.  He came hopping home.  The vet told us that surgery was not needed (THANK GOODNESS) but he is stuck in a cast for 6 weeks and it's still going to cost money which I am not happy about but oh well what do you do.  It's my fault for not watching him.

{Project 365, Tsunami Scare}

Our lives are so BORING!  I'm thinking it's because of winter and we are stuck inside.  So a boring life means Project 365 is pretty much on hold.  I don't have anything to take a picture of...it will continue sometime soon I hope and maybe some days I will have 2 or 3 pictures to catch up.

I woke up Saturday morning to a Tsunami warning in Hawaii.  Well my dad and step mom are in Hawaii on a mission so I immediately called to see what they were doing and I could not get through!  The lines were busy!, so frustraiting.  After the 15th try I finally got through. 

They were in good spirits and seemed pretty calm but they could feel the urgency around them to get moving.  They were moving some of their personal belongings upstairs and in the car.  Once they had done that it was time for them to move to higher ground....what better place than by the temple!

I sat and watched the TV for a good 4 hours just waiting for that wave to hit and texting my dad a few times with updates...but the wave never came! At least it didn't come in the size they thought it would.  There are news reports of the water rising and falling but nothing that did any damage. They really dodged a bullet with that one!  I guess it was a good practice for all of Hawaii!

I spoke to my dad today and everything is back to normal.  We are sure glad they are safe!
