Sweet and Sour

That's how I feel. Today is my 13th anniversary. This is the sweet part.We just took a little trip to Boston for a couple of days(also a sweet part)...just us and our little Leah. We haven't taken a trip together for 8 years.
Yes, it's true. See, Brandon goes there all the time for business...quite a bit in fact. But I, on the other hand...do not. We went back in 1998 on a Church history/US history trip and so I had actually been there. So, seeing as how our anniversary was coming up, he thought he might as well fly me(Leah, the nursing babe too) out on his frequent flier miles and then we could have a short little anniversary trip. I guess I complained enough...you know...the squeaky wheel and all! So I went out and spent a couple of days...ooooo'd and awwwwwww'd over probably the most historic US city, and one of my favorites. We actually saw quite a bit in the short amount of time we had thanks to our lovely GPS system in the rental car and wonderful Duck Tour...Yes, the ones that go into the water! This is also a sweet part to my story! All was well until...we got home and I went to show Tanner the pictures on the camera(cue the sour part)...um...."Hey Brandon, where's the camera?" Long story short...we can't find the camera and we have narrowed it down to losing it on the airplane or in the rental car. I have already been back to the airport and they can't find it and on Monday we are going to try to get somewhere with the rental car agency besides the e-mail we already sent. It is just a small, inexpensive little camera like the one below, although mine was more dinged up, but it has lots of pictures on it that mean a lot to me. Sigh...been crying a lot today...yes, a lot. I'm still trying to keep up hope. But it sure has put a damper on the fun. If you read this, say a little prayer that my little camera will turn up and let's hope someone isn't desperate enough to want it that bad! Keep the camera buddy and just hand over my card...please oh please!

The "5th" of July



We celebrated the 4th on Monday the 5th this year, the day after our little Angel's blessing. Grandma Leesa turns her hill into a huge water slide. The kids always have a blast! They look forward to it every year. Uncle Tyler was the "splash zone" complete with a cup of water he splashed on every one that came down. It was pretty funny. Gavin and some of the other kids took a turn with the splash zone cup! It was so cute. If it didn't take so long to post videos maybe I would post one but it always takes me forever.
