Thanksgiving 09' PHL

Well another year at the Gregerson house has come and gone. We had so much fun this year in PHL. The fun and the caos never seemed to stop. This year we did our own thanksgiving dinner. It was quite the task. I did the Turkey yes you heard me right. I got a recipe off of the food network and might I say it was AMAZING. It was funny because half of the bird was gone before we even sat down to the table.
So after all of the turkey day stuff Rayna Babe arrived from Cali & came to the party!! We had a blast. Lots of dance party's and lots of wii playing. I tell ya Ethan is way good at that thing and he is only 5. The games were also a big part of the schedule.
Hitting up the ice rink was another fun thing that we did this year for the first time. The kids just loved it. Even Brooklyn she didn't even have skates. Ethan was really starting to get the hang of it by the time we headed out. Heading to see down town PHL was also a highlinght of our trip. But it would not be a holiday with out a trip to the ER. Brooklynn ended up at the ER at 3am in the morning to find out that she had croup. We just had a blast. I am already counting down the day's till next year. Thanks Gregerson Fam for having us. We love and miss you tons

Wicked 09 with the Bennetts

I have fallen off of the blogging tree. So here I am getting back on. I have a lot to blog about so the first thing will be about my trip to San Francisco CA. I went to San Fran a few months ago to see Wicked with my sister in-law and her girls the Bennetts. I have you know that it was a blast. We few into Oakland and got right to our hotel and then had to take a shuttle down to the city. We then hopped onto a trolley to get to the show. O my gosh the show was a blast. If you have not seen Wicked yet I would highly recommend it. After that we went and got some great food by our hotel. The next day we went to church and drove out to a place called Bodaga Bay. Way beautiful. Took a lot of great pics and then headed home the next day. All in all it was such a fun trip. I love all of those girls so much. I feel lucky to have gone and spent that time with them. Love ya lots Bennetts. Can't wait for girls weekend 2010'

5 years a going strong

Another year has come and gone. This time it is 5 great years. I can't believe how fast it has gone by. I am so grateful for my husband and all that he does for me and Aurora. This year for celebration we went down to Vegas and ate dinner at Ruth Chris Stake house YUM. then we went to the Phantom of the Opera at the Venation. It was so much fun. Ryan had never seen it. He just loved it. I just still can't believe that I have been married for 5 years. I would not change it for any thing. I know that this sounds corny but he really is my best friend and I would not give that up for anything. Ryan I love you and I can't wait for more. Happy 5 years

Can CATS swim? I would say yes!

Not sure what happened to the sound when I uploaded up you should get the just of it. We were shocked

Backyard Adventures Photo shoot 09'

I am not quite sure how to tell every thing that happend this last week. I have been in Amarillo TX for Backyard Adventures. I was called to help out on there catolog again this year. It was a blast. What I do for them on the shoot is make sure all of the kids are in the right place at the right time on the play set when the picture is taken so it looks like all of the activities are being used. I think over this past week I have worked with over 100 kids. That is a lot of names to try and remember. The week went really well. We got every pic taken that we wanted. So I am sure you are wondering what that big blue thing is. Instead of being a green sceran it is a blue screen. They go in after and put in the foliage. There is not a whole lot of landscape in Amamarilo TX. So that is why we use the blue screen. We would start the day about 7am and work till 6pm they were very long and hot days. But it was fun. I definitely got alot of sun. The first day I got really sunburned. After we were all done for the day we would all go out and get a bite to eat. The group of people I worked with were really fun and great people. We had a lought of fun. We even made some time to do some good old toilet papering. I can't remember when the last time I did that. We got some of them really good. I am really glad that I got to go back and help them with the job. Thanks to all of my wolf pack. lol

To any one who is a MOM!!!!!!

This post is a tribute to any one who is a mom. This past week I was babysitting some of my friends at there home in Alpine with there 3 kids Sage (5) Brin (3) Teancome (1). I am not sure if I spelled there name right but o well. The kids were great. I think that I did not know really how much work and time out of you own life it takes to be a mom or full time care taker. Come day two I was feeling the stress come on. For me the hard part was how to fill all of the time with the kids. Making sure that they were safe, feed and entertained. I quickly discovered that there is no personal time. Trying to find time to even do my laundry was just crazy.
So now I have a new found respect for motherhood. I understand now why kids some times look like there hair was not brushed, because they wont let you, or they look like they have been wearing the same cloths for the past 3 day because they have, they wont let you dress them they have to dress them self. And when a kids is freaking out at the store and every one is giving you the LOOK that you should be doing some thing but there really is nothing that you can do. How important nap time is and if you are even 1 hr late what a difference it makes for the rest of you day I GET IT!!!!!!!!!! I have baby sat before but I have not baby sat 3 little kids under the age of 5 for a week so it was a new one for me. I am grateful for the experience. Also just a note to self don't loose the peoples dog while you are baby sitting not a good thing. Keep up all of the great work MOM's
Here are a few pic of the kids that I sat this last week. I was a lot of fun. I even got to go on a play date with some of my girlfriends that have kids. We went to a local farm.
