Mike deploys to Iraq in three more days on Sunday March 30th. Keep him and his fellow marines in your prayers! We love you, Corporal Romney!

We love to go in to town and get tacos and sodas!

Bargaining with the peddlers on the boardwalk. I hate doing this, but the boys are good at it.

This is what Johnny spent 99% of his time doing. He loves, loves, loves quading and is saving his money for a dirt bike. His good friend Nate Funk was camping at the same spot, so they got to spend the week hanging out and quading together.

Tim, John, and Greg watching the quaders in the sand dunes.

We had a good time in Rocky Point, Mexico over Spring Break. The weather was a little cool the first few days but was perfect the last few. Six days in a camper was long enough for me. The boys could have stayed a lot longer. They loved quading, hanging at the beach, shopping, eating tacos, and, of course, buying and lighting off the fireworks at night. I brought home at least 25 loads of laundry and am still trying to get a handle on it. (I'm sad that Mike and Greg aren't in this family photo. Mike is in North Carolina preparing to deploy, and Greg is off with friends.)

Cowboyed up and going to the Saddies dance at Mountain View. (Shelby, Morgan Allen, Greg, and Mary Christensen)

It's a beautiful day today in sunny Arizona.

Me (to Matty): "Did you know I love you?"

Matty: "Yea."

Me: "How did you know that?"

Matty: "Cuz all moms love kids."

It's a sucky day...We had to say goodbye to Mike. It's the last time we will see him until he returns from his deployment to Iraq. Thank goodness for my waterproof mascara.

Scott, Mike, and I had brunch together at Cindy's Cafe on our way to the airport.
