welcome aunt kathryn!

My Aunt Kathryn, mom’s little sister, discovered my blog on Saturday and has become an instant addict! I hope my mom and all her sisters can start commenting regularly. (I know several of you already do!) It’d be great! I could just put my blog on auto pilot and let the commenting fury begin!!!! I am proud to be a part of such a great family. Y’all are so fun, creative and energetic!

*************************************

We are leaving today to stay overnight at an indoor waterpark! The kids have today and tomorrow off from school and James has a little space in his schedule. I can’t wait to go spend 30 hours playing with my family! The kids think we are taking them to the mall! We have so much fun surprising them. I’ll post pics later in the week!

*************************************

Saturday we had a wonderful visit with Rob and Sarah. If you remember from this post, we visited Rob in Colorado last fall. We met up for the first time with fellow blogger, Sarah! Well, apparently the sparks flew and Rob and Sarah have become one hot ticket! They flew in for the weekend to give Sarah and Rob’s family a chance to meet. Undoubtedly, they are very happy as Sarah is a great catch for Rob! And vice versa I’m sure!

I feel so honored that we were there when Rob and Sarah first laid eyes on each other and maybe this is a stretch, but I like to think we helped their meeting take place! We all agree that the girls were great ice breakers.

ROB -N- SARAH

Aren’t they super duper cute!!! How fun!

Before Rob and Sarah arrived the girls kept running around the house singing, “Rob and Sarah sitting in a tree K I S S I N G!” They were so excited. Lydia made some notes and valentines for Rob and Sarah. In one of her notes she wrote something like, “To Rob and your wife”. Hmmmmm. . .

“Love isn’t finding a perfect person. It’s seeing an imperfect person perfectly.”

    Indoor water park, WoW, I wanna go too. I was always afraid of water until just the last 2 or3 years and now I love going swimming every day.

    Rob and Sarah, you are a really cute looking couple.

    Hey, again Kathryn, I’m so glad you are here to stay. Can’t wait to see what creations you are coming up with in the earring dept. Maybe I should make up a batch and bring them up to create some competition. :D

  6. Debbie February 20, 2006 at 12:30 pm #

    Hmmmmm…..I was wondering when I saw your post earlier mentioning Rob and Sarah in the same sentence, wondering if this was the same Sarah you all met in CO. Rob and Sarah, you all look so happy! :flowers

    Have fun, D Family! We loved going to GWL with Tori and Liz a couple of years ago. I know your kiddos loved it when you went too. Now that Baby can go also it will be a blast.

    Rob and Sarah look so wonderful together. Great picture. Now I have the K-I-S-S-I-N-G song in my head (thanks so much, Jules).

  18. Aunt Linda February 20, 2006 at 9:45 pm #

    You guys are so boring, I did four twirls and six twizzles already today. I’m also the only one in the family who speaks normally.But I still love y’all. Hope you have fun at the waterpark Julie. I love waterparks, we’ve been to quite a few of them. I climbed to the top of a platform, grabbed the cable, and swung out over the pool, clear to the end and plopped right down, nearly to the bottom of the pool. It took me awhile to surface. Yes, I did that once!!!! :cryNever again. I can’t even swim! Good Night.

  19. Marlis February 20, 2006 at 10:41 pm #

    Me, well I’m just fizzled. Good Night.

  20. Sarah February 21, 2006 at 7:53 am #

    Jules, we had a fabulous evening with you and the family. I loved hanging out with your kids and, of course, you and James- can’t wait to do it again! (And thanks for the photos!)

  21. Tom February 21, 2006 at 10:00 am #

    I love singing the Great Wolf lodge theme. “You’ll have a ball ( at the great wolf, at the great wolf lodge…)

  22. Carl V. February 21, 2006 at 10:35 am #

    Oh Gross :puke , kissy stuff!!! :rotfl

    So sad we missed you guys on Saturday. Hopefully next time!

    I am so looking forward to pics/post of your Great Wolf Lodge day. I’m sure you all are having a ball right now and I’m really happy for you!

  23. Marlis February 21, 2006 at 12:59 pm #

    Linda, Julie usually sets the pace of something to talk about, with a post, but always says we’re welcome to change the subject.

  24. kathryn February 21, 2006 at 1:55 pm #

    Ok guys Im home for lunch and to let the boy,s out for their PM BM .I see some of you have chimmed in. Well I have to go back and take care of the sick at the hosp. What would they do with out me ,Oh I have to take care of the patients too. later .

  25. Debbie February 21, 2006 at 3:12 pm #

    Just so y’all know, Kathryn really does come home at lunch to let the dogs out. That’s just part of her work day routine. She didn’t come home from work just to check the blog…..um, at least I don’t THINK so. :D

  26. Debbie February 21, 2006 at 3:20 pm #

    Jules, hope you all are having a blast at the water park–looking forward to seeing pics. I bet the girls will be worn out and will sleep well tonite.

  27. Aunt Marilyn February 21, 2006 at 5:09 pm #

    I wonder if Julie took the computer with her, she said she was able to, but I’ll bet she just left us here “Home Alone.” Hope you all are having a blast. Bet the girls were suprised when they found out they were going to a Water Park.
    Trish how are you doing with your twirls, you to Linda. Wouldn’t it be fun if we could all compete on the twirls together. I’ll have to have my “BOOTS” on. They are getting dusty as I have gotten to wear them since Dec. :cry

  28. Jules February 21, 2006 at 5:13 pm #

    James took his computer for work related things. It’s his office. I admit I checked on things, but wouldn’t let myself comment! We just got back. :cry I could’ve stayed and played for a few more hours, but the little ones were so tired they couldn’t stop crying. Will post a few pics later.

  29. TN Crew February 21, 2006 at 6:19 pm #

    I just wrote this long note and it disappeared and I had to start over! I love Marilyn’s comment
    Jules left us home alone! We love Wet and Wild but
    we are going to Destin, FL the first of April. Erin is in 12th grade and Alexis 10th grade.Scott and Amber are planning a wedding around the end of May. Audrie’s baby will be here in June! I love you all very much!

  30. Kelli February 21, 2006 at 6:22 pm #

    I don’t know how to make the faces come up in my
    notes! I’m sad. Now how do I do it. I taught Kathryn to get on here though!

  31. Ciera February 21, 2006 at 6:26 pm #

    That is such a nice pic of them…awwww…

    And hope you’ve had tons of fun at the park with your family!

  32. Jules February 21, 2006 at 6:30 pm #

    June will be here before we no it! How exciting. Does she know what she’s going to have? I didn’t know about Scott and Amber’s wedding! Big things are happening!

    Thanks, Ciera. We had a totally terrific time!

  33. Marlis February 21, 2006 at 7:10 pm #

    Once you have started a sentence, you can click on the icons. Than you have to place your curser back next to it to start writing again. Hi Kelli, glad to see ya here. Visit more often. Love ya’s.

  34. Aunt Marilyn February 21, 2006 at 7:17 pm #

    Kelli, the icons don’t work when you click onto them? A word comes up 1st, then when you click “Say it” they appear. Where is Scott getting Married? This is news to me too. Wonderful.
    Glad you had a good time Julie.

  35. Aunt Marilyn February 21, 2006 at 7:28 pm #

    Trish, I just watched Kemmi M. skate on the Olympics, she did a great job. No mistakes. I bet her parents are proud. :indeed

  36. Kelli February 22, 2006 at 7:13 pm #

    ;) Sasha Conan(sp?) got the gold I wanted to see it and I fell asleep. Moma has been glued to the Olympics and keeps everyone posted. Audrie is having a boy named Gavin Keiffer Cordell. Scott and Amber moved to Texas and will get married in the Catholic church there. Scott has been taking classes to be a Catholic. We are glad he is studying the bible! Hopefully it will develop a relationship with Jesus. The Word of God does not return void! I don’t want him to be puffed up but to know Jesus. PRAY! :worshipsoon to be Scott!

  37. Jules February 22, 2006 at 7:17 pm #

    I’ll be praying for Scott.

    A little boy. How wonderful!

    Thanks for the updates!

  38. mel February 22, 2006 at 11:45 pm #

    I’m so glad you had so much fun! Cute picture too! They do make a cute couple, don’t they! Can you believe we didn’t take one picture at our house? Then again I was sick; I guess it makes sense that I wasn’t exactly feeling up for documentation of my sickly face!

  39. Jules February 23, 2006 at 8:05 am #

    You must be feeling better to be blogging. I hope you make a full recovery quickly!

  40. SciFiChick February 23, 2006 at 9:10 am #

    ;) sounds like you all had a great time!

    man, reading about your exploits makes me want to do some traveling soon.. i think my birthday trip to DC will be cancelled so i need to think of something else. .. maybe chicago..

  41. Marlis February 23, 2006 at 9:14 am #

    Jules, Scott is Kelli’s son, who is getting married soon, not a little boy. Or did I read your note wrong.

  42. Jules February 23, 2006 at 9:14 am #

    I love little mini-adventures. The kids are getting old enough now that we can do it and have a great time! It’s really fun.

    Angela, I definitely think you need to treat yourself to an adventure!
