Stonyford-Motorcycling is not just for men!

Yes, Tony convinced me that Stonyford was the place to go.  We decided to leave on Friday night at around 6pm.  Tony said that it's better to endure the cliff like road at night, that way you can see the headlights of other trailors coming your way.  We had done this trip before and I knew there was a reason why I didn't like to go.  It was quite a ride but we made it all in one piece!  I can't say it was a happy, relaxing ride but we did arrive!  We were greeted by friends and family, which was awesome, they helped Tony maneuver the RV into it's spot.  We were pretty tired so it was bedtime right away. Below is camp.....

 The next morning we got up bright and early and the guys took the girls and kids for a ride.  We geared up and headed towards the hills.  It was great.  What a good experience thanks to our wonderful husbands.  We climbed M5 (a semi easy hill).  It took myself and Tenley a little convincing but we did it!!! The weather was amazing but very hot.  We took a break at a near by creek to cool off.

 The next day we did another ride in a different part of the park.  This is what we ran into.....isn't it beautiful!!!

It was a great few days with great friends and family.   We had so much fun that even though the ride in was scary, I would definitely return to Stoney Ford!!!

Mickey and Minnie Mouse baby shower

I had to share these cute favors and banner that I made for my friends baby shower.  She is due in May and we had a shower for her at work on Thursday.  I love making banners and have made several for other events.  The favors were a lot of fun with the help of my sister Amy.  She created the labels!  Aren't they cute......

My Dad.....is doing great!

Back in February, I received a call from my dad.  He told me that he needed a biopsy of his lung.  He had a follow up xray from his pneumonia and the doctors saw something suspicious.  We were all nervous and worried about our wonderful daddy!!!!  He had the biopsy and it was confirmed that he had lung cancer.  We then had an appointment with a surgeon to discuss his options.  He chose to have surgery to remove the tumor.  In April, he had his surgery and was in the hospital for about 5 days.  He is home now resting and feeling pretty good.  He really wants to recover so that he can go and play softball.  Next week we will meet with the Oncologist to discuss if anything else needs to be done.  We do know that his lymph nodes are fine and that it didn't spread to anywhere else in his body.  Great news!  He continues to have a great outlook on life and we are so happy that he is our sweet DAD!

Our Crazy Life.....this week

Gina just completed her play with the Glenmoor Musical Theater.  This was her last year since she will be moving on to 7th grad in the fall and will be going to a different school.  The play was magical and I got to hear Gina sing!  Turns out she has a beautiful voice.  It was a lot of fun to see everyone perform and especially touching becasue it was the 6th graders last performance.  They took their final bow.  Even though we enjoy having Gina in the play, it's a lot of work!  We have had a few weeks of peace, but now onto swimming.

This week starts swimming for Gina.  She is so excited.  This is her second year on the Stingrays swim team and this year she has to swim two lengths of the pool instead of one.  She seems pretty confident so that is good.  On Monday, She came home from her first practice a little anxious knowing that she had a ton of homework to complete but at least there was not time for TV and at 9:00 she went right to sleep. 

Tony has been busy getting an estimator to come out to look at our floor.  Yes, during the big storm we endured a leak in our roof and our floor is now damaged.  But luckily our insurance will cover it and we now get a new floor.  I am very excited about this!!!!

Alicia is plugging away at school with finals!  She has almost completed her first year of college.  We are so excited and proud of her.  We can't wait for her to come home for the Summer.  She will be busy with work and summer school.

That's all for now.....Until next time.....
