Were Back!!!



We had a great time filled with so many memories. Here are a few picks to give you a small taste of our fun. The surprise was a huge success and the kids had no idea. I will post the surprise video soon.

It's Showtime!!!


Malakai is asleep. Ginny is asleep, Keegan is in bed and it is only 8:10 pm. How on earth did I work that one out you ask? Well, you work late, get your hair done, come home later than usual and turn the clocks ahead by one hour when everyone is eating supper.

So far so good. They know nothing. :) Now I head to the tub to try and relax ( like that is going to work) turn off the phone and head to sleep ourselves. After all, 3:30 am comes mighty quickly.

I figured it out!

Usually when it comes to the computer and converting anything to it, or from it ... I suck! Usually I end up making a call to a computer genius (in my books) and he ends up trying his best to lead me step by step.

Our hardship this time was trying to convert a movie to PSP. After days and nights of struggling and trying and trying and trying we finally have successes. The best part, we didn't even have to bother Cam. We did it all by ourselves. :)

This morning I was so brain full that I even put a movie on my ipod.

YEAH FOR ME! It's a good day!

Wigs for Cancer

K, I just finished saying that we would not be cutting a chunk of hair off of Ginny's head and low and behold today she was at whits end with her hair and has been begging us to cut it. I finally caved and she got what she wanted. She also got the hairdresser to keep her hair so that she can donate it to kids who need wigs. I think the new look suits her.

Thats right!!!! 5 more days. The last time we went, Ginny was 4 and Keegan 6. We had the same intention (with no plan though) of keeping it a secret. Our secret lasted until the night before when neither one of us could take it and we spilled the beans. Ginny was so elated with excitement that she could not sleep. In her excitement I guess she figured she had to get ready for her trip (before bed) and was brushing her hair long beautiful locks with Nanna's roller brush. Needless to say, we ended up puling every little bristle out of that brush with pliers in an attempt to free a big clump of tangled hair. With no success and the clock nearing 10 pm we finally swallowed our pride and cut the brush out of her hair. :( We laugh now though but back then it was hard to do. The plan for going to bed at 8:00 quickly turned into 11:00 wich even quicker led to our 3 am wake up to catch our flight.

Fast forward 5 years and a couple of weeks and we are determined to not spill the beans. Same time of year, same flight and this time we hope to have everything in check by Monday evening and not to tell the kids until we are in line at the airport. At least this time we can guarantee that Ginny won't be missing a huge chunk of hair from the back of her head. :)

This obstacle is definitely a work in progress.
