She thought they were the funniest things.<br /></p><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4mCBaOiRT6axjSrWM7cFjnKKoJPNnNXpFNo2W4ttjiF66wyY21yHriAgFt1_v1nMoSBxg2ZualtmY-GdFKgMi8nRLgQawXF4zENSgRdKXNz5-ZZBBm8tMyrKcWSxlVFukLrU6OxOaZqo/s1600/zoo+030.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5663481996266539570" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4mCBaOiRT6axjSrWM7cFjnKKoJPNnNXpFNo2W4ttjiF66wyY21yHriAgFt1_v1nMoSBxg2ZualtmY-GdFKgMi8nRLgQawXF4zENSgRdKXNz5-ZZBBm8tMyrKcWSxlVFukLrU6OxOaZqo/s320/zoo+030.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI-guKpSE16XXGgwowvRyGXZBeKQ8sbBraHPqBspJARq1QPFI6T5TbHbP9k121Wtk3Es9VV6u3TOvJ3t7Y_PDuzFDFxGknb2-TlbNOLEg2wXIzEoTEJpiUHMiH4o-C15jl_9UTMT7QWPs/s1600/zoo+018.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5663482013640943858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI-guKpSE16XXGgwowvRyGXZBeKQ8sbBraHPqBspJARq1QPFI6T5TbHbP9k121Wtk3Es9VV6u3TOvJ3t7Y_PDuzFDFxGknb2-TlbNOLEg2wXIzEoTEJpiUHMiH4o-C15jl_9UTMT7QWPs/s320/zoo+018.JPG" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbrqFKMShVqoODg2hmWx0lZsWOCWPXydCQF4FnDUdFfdkVL8zOgBpKKl0HNG-iVkbKLZuzP_JtqOLYEb2NC5YRVBhSpzA9O-Sva0qdfK34FcIZPuFJtWvVCVWBasT1S_rNh6Zm-gUx3Kk/s1600/zoo+010.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5663482001656747282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbrqFKMShVqoODg2hmWx0lZsWOCWPXydCQF4FnDUdFfdkVL8zOgBpKKl0HNG-iVkbKLZuzP_JtqOLYEb2NC5YRVBhSpzA9O-Sva0qdfK34FcIZPuFJtWvVCVWBasT1S_rNh6Zm-gUx3Kk/s320/zoo+010.JPG" /></a><br /><br /></p><br /><div align="center">We had a good time this summer!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Paul and Darlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08701236186926013493noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563439392481995614.post-72709657772995206262010-06-18T17:03:00.003-07:002010-06-18T17:09:19.298-07:00Ava pictures<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYojAKpSiX_v1Pjxk-4bdMhxFmNOm8WM024mAfULrkGQLEQKUpqmazkn0F3UbKw8AKCGOgQ5tqQFFF-J1OL4vHGD4nv_JrLxzd7ZQOGzJwt7RpiFdz09dmCd1Cy3ytfnd5Osk1m9h2Z94/s1600/IMG_0157.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYojAKpSiX_v1Pjxk-4bdMhxFmNOm8WM024mAfULrkGQLEQKUpqmazkn0F3UbKw8AKCGOgQ5tqQFFF-J1OL4vHGD4nv_JrLxzd7ZQOGzJwt7RpiFdz09dmCd1Cy3ytfnd5Osk1m9h2Z94/s320/IMG_0157.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484269959996072802" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEQMysmD5H08F7rWSfvuUWfPiGQEUWzn06OhAseqwKcYGHm7VaeVTd7YIQjhr5YCgzu1RsfRtmznL1cUfC8t21gPXZ3S_J5fLuWaVnJrSxJF1dRWIGjQvfza9JtO5ziMyQeTrNJ1_pEBE/s1600/IMG_0193.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEQMysmD5H08F7rWSfvuUWfPiGQEUWzn06OhAseqwKcYGHm7VaeVTd7YIQjhr5YCgzu1RsfRtmznL1cUfC8t21gPXZ3S_J5fLuWaVnJrSxJF1dRWIGjQvfza9JtO5ziMyQeTrNJ1_pEBE/s320/IMG_0193.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484269945766775474" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOjFBy6iSULwVs2OSOzRIOZF_Ewa31y49GQgSNvsS2aP2pAa_XNFlt4a8o0lMqc8kQx5Cze5HbgNWmVBYP25YggGeb5lBTJqdROHineCW8_ImCpHgmCbTs8fYHAbaaS2UFdt26eJ46DS0/s1600/IMG_0185.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOjFBy6iSULwVs2OSOzRIOZF_Ewa31y49GQgSNvsS2aP2pAa_XNFlt4a8o0lMqc8kQx5Cze5HbgNWmVBYP25YggGeb5lBTJqdROHineCW8_ImCpHgmCbTs8fYHAbaaS2UFdt26eJ46DS0/s320/IMG_0185.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484269931369313538" /></a><br />Here are some updated Ava photos.

We were shocked, scared and nervous that it could be that quick but we said "OK" we would love to meet with her. We met with the birth mother and her mom on Friday, April 30th and hit it off. We had a lot in common and it just felt right. The birth mother was not in a good place in her life at that moment and felt that the right thing to do was to place her baby for adoption. We left that night feeling really good about the situation and only hoped that she did too. We sat around the phone the next day waiting for a call to see if she had chosen us. We got a call that night on Saturday and found out that she had chosen us!!!!! Paul and I were so excited and scared about the situation but we still felt that it was right. The the next sentence was that she was in labor. Another shock hit us. We thought that we would have a few days to prepare for this new baby that was going to be coming into our lives but we were so excited that it was going to be soon. Paul and I were at Wal-Mart that night at 9:30 going through the baby isles saying, "I think we will need that". I knew we would need diapers and wipes so we bought some of those. The birth mother had Ava the next day; Sunday the 2nd. It all happened in a total of 5 days. Ava had a lot of visitors at the hospital with family and friends visiting which meant so much to us. </span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="color:#383838;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span style="color:#383838;"><span><span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">We are so proud of the decision that the birth mother made to place her baby with us.

We have not had any photos done since our wedding over 6 years ago. One of my old roommates took the photos for us and they turned out great! We took them downtown Phoenix. I like that urban look with photos. Paul was not sure at first but I told him to trust me they will turn out great. He loves how they turned out and so did I.Paul and Darlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08701236186926013493noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563439392481995614.post-54528939323641370612010-03-04T16:43:00.000-08:002010-03-04T16:46:50.861-08:00On Our Way to Adopt!!!We just got certified to adopt!!!!

We all needed a little get away. We were first thinking that we wanted to go to Greer and stay at these cabins but plans changed so we went up to Flagstaff. It was great up there. It was actually cold that weekend. It was rainy and hailing and even snowed up on the peaks. We went to dinner at Beaver Street Brewery and had a good time. When we came out our battery in the car was dead. Thank goodness that they people that were parked next to us were leaving at the same time and were nice enough to give us a jump. Then we had to go to the Honda dealership to have our battery checked out. It turned out that the jump gave a good jult to the battery and it was fine. We stayed at Little America and had a good time.<br /><br />The next morning we went up to Snow Bowl and took the ski lift. That was really fun and cold. With the weather the way it was that weekend it was really cold up at the top. It had snowed a good inch up at the top. That was a lot of fun and REALLY pretty. All in all it was a good weekend and relaxing.Paul and Darlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08701236186926013493noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563439392481995614.post-31827507038592694242009-04-16T10:48:00.000-07:002009-04-16T11:07:50.421-07:00TEA PARTY!!!!!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0fo11X_4HOMGlnGzdXaf4Vm3M-2eyrr0oh7cQ1SFk54mM6JULkmsh1kX3takn7JsYamDGq7ItGyYvCwPLEzWdCANTcLi6Ju4fX_e_JYHwwAVDnOseLznFkCycrv-RVl-5gqUgewtEVxc/s1600-h/DSC05430.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0fo11X_4HOMGlnGzdXaf4Vm3M-2eyrr0oh7cQ1SFk54mM6JULkmsh1kX3takn7JsYamDGq7ItGyYvCwPLEzWdCANTcLi6Ju4fX_e_JYHwwAVDnOseLznFkCycrv-RVl-5gqUgewtEVxc/s320/DSC05430.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325352537544893154" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiroNRhwaV4gchdPKsKUccNQUOp_1xk02-NRSmuwcQs6ewu2T9CMv4AUcs0H_GobazXNjCqGr9SyC4wqHSyRaL0CPnp-ChFskLtL2kyeeuZIwY2bMkoWa3JmpVoJs1CnxyTOHfhlpqS05A/s1600-h/DSC05426.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiroNRhwaV4gchdPKsKUccNQUOp_1xk02-NRSmuwcQs6ewu2T9CMv4AUcs0H_GobazXNjCqGr9SyC4wqHSyRaL0CPnp-ChFskLtL2kyeeuZIwY2bMkoWa3JmpVoJs1CnxyTOHfhlpqS05A/s320/DSC05426.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325351850570479746" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvAJ6l6N-TbVgaNoM9D7JQL73Ri_T0vp_NJiCRkahRz8X6WMClLyitgS9qRQtqgWZPpeLh9oY_akqv_5Fc4Et2CAJK5p5RGFdzdK6u_j75Zi-QjTvhfD4bI-SLocPUz0lnvhnE3JD2qyQ/s1600-h/DSC05450.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvAJ6l6N-TbVgaNoM9D7JQL73Ri_T0vp_NJiCRkahRz8X6WMClLyitgS9qRQtqgWZPpeLh9oY_akqv_5Fc4Et2CAJK5p5RGFdzdK6u_j75Zi-QjTvhfD4bI-SLocPUz0lnvhnE3JD2qyQ/s320/DSC05450.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325351849687330562" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAkdYLQMhspS-1n71mcV10qYx_ij2FQqUPn2YZHFqUKwKTHa3Xche9RLRfILVrpgEemY4XkOcCefFgHw-UcUuL9Vxf5pK4Kp3wetgPnKHfleIp5gYUfZ7jnaFY6MKINwyAvh0L3rHIWBM/s1600-h/DSC05441.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAkdYLQMhspS-1n71mcV10qYx_ij2FQqUPn2YZHFqUKwKTHa3Xche9RLRfILVrpgEemY4XkOcCefFgHw-UcUuL9Vxf5pK4Kp3wetgPnKHfleIp5gYUfZ7jnaFY6MKINwyAvh0L3rHIWBM/s320/DSC05441.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325351845847446770" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6NEcNOFTxwS-KgHvfNAdjXu5dFCCPOpk-dVZFxIVwa9fERqkRFv5QN11UlIIwkKs9rHj82MdQo54-v2mQZuPs92kcEOKQU7NtYqpvA-jju55u7jCKkWR8JtO37b4h0jTz0H7AHB_Pep8/s1600-h/DSC05440.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6NEcNOFTxwS-KgHvfNAdjXu5dFCCPOpk-dVZFxIVwa9fERqkRFv5QN11UlIIwkKs9rHj82MdQo54-v2mQZuPs92kcEOKQU7NtYqpvA-jju55u7jCKkWR8JtO37b4h0jTz0H7AHB_Pep8/s320/DSC05440.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325351837425170242" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis7HSz-YXax6jqvs25PCVzz1qbcCm0YqWaY4C_ERby7rnn9SI1WJ5YTUQMb5q1F39T-t_x0VCTf_rVY8gla8RFxAAZ5laeBj8dxFOglQl-whNuhV9hhsXVKv09TqKKUg_YtpeLewKI9pU/s1600-h/DSC05463.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis7HSz-YXax6jqvs25PCVzz1qbcCm0YqWaY4C_ERby7rnn9SI1WJ5YTUQMb5q1F39T-t_x0VCTf_rVY8gla8RFxAAZ5laeBj8dxFOglQl-whNuhV9hhsXVKv09TqKKUg_YtpeLewKI9pU/s320/DSC05463.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325351835401278994" /></a><br />With they way things are going in the country and all of the spending that is taking place I felt that I needed to go to the capital building yesterday and protest!!! My mother-in-law, sister and a friend from our ward and I all went to protest. It was a blast to be around so many other people who believe the same way you do. I made four signs with some really great slogans for all of us. There were some great speakers who voice what they taught and it got us all screaming. I love going to these type of events because it makes you feel that you are apart of something. It was great. We were all proud "Right Wing Extremist" hahahaha.

Paul and I had never been to Disneyland at Christmas time and it was definitely worth going this time of year. They really do it up at Christmas. Nighttime is so beautiful. There are lights everywhere and the decorations come to life. It was also really cold (the winter blast hit) and that helped put us in the Christmas mood. We love the place and I would recommend going at this time of year. Summer is always fun but when it is all decorated up for Christmas it is just awesome. <br /><br />We also went to the beach in La Jolla.

Everyone thinks that I have been there just because I am LDS. Not every LDS person has been there. My mom, sister and I went to Utah to visit my Aunt and her kids. They had just moved down from Oregon so now it is easier to see them. We had such a great time with them. There family is so much fun! We had movie night, craft night and then the 3rd night we were in Park City and hung out. It was fun! Park City is such a cute place. We went to the Olympic Park and went through the museum and also did the zip line down the mountain. That was fun. We actually got my mom to go down. She wanted to go back down the mountain but once you got up there the only way down was the zip line. She did it and had a great time. <br />We also went through the Salt Lake Temple which was so beautiful! Temple square was amazingly beautiful. <br />We had such a great time it was one of the best vacations I have been on!Paul and Darlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08701236186926013493noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563439392481995614.post-28106775295200149622008-07-26T20:08:00.001-07:002008-07-26T20:12:59.719-07:00Pioneer Day!Today we had our Pioneer Day celebration out at the branch. Paul and I got called to a Native American branch out on the Gila Indian Community. His parents are also out there so that make things fun. We have about 20-30 people that attend the ward. It is fun. My calling's are 1st counselor in the YW and also the events chairman (everyone seems to have more than one calling). This morning we ate breakfast and then we played games outside. The little kids really like the water balloon toss. It was a blast. We then went inside and we told a few stories of what the Native American tribes used to do back in the olden days. It was interesting. When I get pictures back I will post a few.Paul and Darlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08701236186926013493noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563439392481995614.post-447267780460274152008-06-02T18:37:00.000-07:002008-06-02T18:54:54.985-07:00New York City<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh7Hdi7mLtoziOlyyrdWY5Wdha1E_U1OZzc-2EE85HuM9C_znNNthjWi_bQIz7dJQjzeEt1GkOTqrBXNQ0UM37lGZzuBO2jtaTP1BIZQQQ_t19W5Ylq3oyxyDFpkvKT3yC5d_4LxC3GPE/s1600-h/New+York+010.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh7Hdi7mLtoziOlyyrdWY5Wdha1E_U1OZzc-2EE85HuM9C_znNNthjWi_bQIz7dJQjzeEt1GkOTqrBXNQ0UM37lGZzuBO2jtaTP1BIZQQQ_t19W5Ylq3oyxyDFpkvKT3yC5d_4LxC3GPE/s320/New+York+010.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207467594983685634" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDzJentZDAMrP6li7NqxUYguQ69rBqf4WIjNb90eMAaKX_SNlp9A06pSGAPgqJsWGw-EOmyC5HpHHujzooQM1QCZY7TDpelh9psUdC_O7z5y_bPwD1_ly7iIzKMdxiOe7s8xKvFtvWT40/s1600-h/New+York+024.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDzJentZDAMrP6li7NqxUYguQ69rBqf4WIjNb90eMAaKX_SNlp9A06pSGAPgqJsWGw-EOmyC5HpHHujzooQM1QCZY7TDpelh9psUdC_O7z5y_bPwD1_ly7iIzKMdxiOe7s8xKvFtvWT40/s320/New+York+024.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207467603573620242" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2dagVeGDNG01VdXlDQ6Xr6EyRlZqwhXK2llr1CD4RKIQ81bj9UwWl2HZ2cbFVffjSAcVsnLToQ8cIegSe0tTF_v3U96Mce13HWch0_Ftscv6aaCGAZQ7dqbb0pQB-m9ZLaeM8SbeM44I/s1600-h/New+York+086.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2dagVeGDNG01VdXlDQ6Xr6EyRlZqwhXK2llr1CD4RKIQ81bj9UwWl2HZ2cbFVffjSAcVsnLToQ8cIegSe0tTF_v3U96Mce13HWch0_Ftscv6aaCGAZQ7dqbb0pQB-m9ZLaeM8SbeM44I/s320/New+York+086.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207467612163554850" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-sQqGEjqr1D7m6tQGBDFJ0-Lyw1kWei9yPE1qaYdJyU8K8sVpzrqrvGea-cilkizxdeH05tUgn8kwlvZnQL4X23MXsEjTnipZTNJABL5C_uFazUzZ0tTjF-G9XDVP9WAeBCkosGtSKNM/s1600-h/New+York+020.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-sQqGEjqr1D7m6tQGBDFJ0-Lyw1kWei9yPE1qaYdJyU8K8sVpzrqrvGea-cilkizxdeH05tUgn8kwlvZnQL4X23MXsEjTnipZTNJABL5C_uFazUzZ0tTjF-G9XDVP9WAeBCkosGtSKNM/s320/New+York+020.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207467620753489458" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlY0C6hH0f-XctWjBqOkFKuinX0pqDJcgBaxC0zr2J07Ld15eiY1qt-ACvXw1RNMsuighPvtu1J4Ss8CcWIZqYe6QzEoLlVmRv9jjFjf2OaGflLo5s0x-dREUsavh6Kqz6J6MeRzC2VLA/s1600-h/New+York+134.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlY0C6hH0f-XctWjBqOkFKuinX0pqDJcgBaxC0zr2J07Ld15eiY1qt-ACvXw1RNMsuighPvtu1J4Ss8CcWIZqYe6QzEoLlVmRv9jjFjf2OaGflLo5s0x-dREUsavh6Kqz6J6MeRzC2VLA/s320/New+York+134.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207467629343424066" /></a><br />I do not know why it has taken me a couple of weeks to put these pictures from New York. Paul and I got back a few weeks ago after spending a week in New York/Brooklyn visiting his cousin and his wife and seeing all of the sites. We had such a great time! We ha a great time walking around or maybe not so great, Paul was so tired. It was fun seeing all of the huge buildings. That town is so different than Phoenix. There are people everywhere and everyone walks everywhere. It is kind of cool and something that I could get used to. We had a great time spending time with Paul's cousins and getting to know them better. We stayed with them and it was great. They took us to all of the great local restaurants in there neighborhood and the food was great. They even got me to try sushi. That probably was not a good idea since it came up about an hour latter. :( Well at least I can say that I tried it. We also took a day trip to DC on the Am track and had a great time. Paul has never been and he loved it. It is a town that we will go back to because we did not have much time to see it all. It is a great place to visit with so much history and a great feel to it. My mom and sister also came with us on the trip and we all had a great time.Paul and Darlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08701236186926013493noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563439392481995614.post-55422754434816165602008-05-03T19:45:00.000-07:002008-05-03T19:53:04.537-07:00Great Friends!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGUPkIs6lqsfnP7APejsbiLmfNhAjWTzdtHirOHkNrG7-D4nt0UK6I7L8inqmLcxU1D-lGq9fohWY48h8q45yfguP4gfS3knvKY1pXer9bek4-02LtNoRdznA6V-BMYbKNl-4bLKv3bbk/s1600-h/photos+015.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGUPkIs6lqsfnP7APejsbiLmfNhAjWTzdtHirOHkNrG7-D4nt0UK6I7L8inqmLcxU1D-lGq9fohWY48h8q45yfguP4gfS3knvKY1pXer9bek4-02LtNoRdznA6V-BMYbKNl-4bLKv3bbk/s320/photos+015.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196350252725463650" /></a><br />I just got back from going to Flagstaff for a girls get together. We had such a great time! Some old friends and I from college got together after not seeing each other for years. We had such a great time talking about old times and the funny, crazy things that we did in college. It was like we were never apart. It is great to have friends that you have not seen or spoken to in years and when you come back together it is like you talked to each other every day. Great friends are hard to come by. Thank you for bringing your old photo albums Britt they brought back the old times.Paul and Darlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08701236186926013493noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563439392481995614.post-43896468658087475252008-05-03T19:37:00.000-07:002008-05-03T19:44:58.863-07:00"Do You Feel Lucky?"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVtVRV2_cMosXMvYvlOtd3jkdTpVXJddSPKe-Ln5CLy_Gq0ir3SrIVII4NbY_Qjk738syx19wLE3BYSep0BoJW4Hl4r21MhpOH3uNOLeHojdqRs-DlzA2okWyMGDt4Ui_FeV-sY-HgZPo/s1600-h/Show+Low+Bluff+026.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVtVRV2_cMosXMvYvlOtd3jkdTpVXJddSPKe-Ln5CLy_Gq0ir3SrIVII4NbY_Qjk738syx19wLE3BYSep0BoJW4Hl4r21MhpOH3uNOLeHojdqRs-DlzA2okWyMGDt4Ui_FeV-sY-HgZPo/s320/Show+Low+Bluff+026.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196347671450118690" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOTLlLd_n-hW4AMiTbSN-wPY1hfNqsIDegE9a_IvDuOmPC7p_Z-mN4bCJ-i2Q4YwEqMFyIf7Nu6Zvj8uL3dHaNwPbvkixcEg8e8trMPgp4uLjXBCbhUrfqbig2ccwAIlu0ZCC3-ED3sR0/s1600-h/Show+Low+Bluff+003.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOTLlLd_n-hW4AMiTbSN-wPY1hfNqsIDegE9a_IvDuOmPC7p_Z-mN4bCJ-i2Q4YwEqMFyIf7Nu6Zvj8uL3dHaNwPbvkixcEg8e8trMPgp4uLjXBCbhUrfqbig2ccwAIlu0ZCC3-ED3sR0/s320/Show+Low+Bluff+003.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196347684335020594" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQIGN7ICvx13jMRyxrk4ABasjW5DgBLp68wb3DSKej1ViGEiOFmOA5cD1V_PK8DztYoZwsel4Q_0ml3-FjNQz-7a__NrSqDB9QuXCNkNl-ssJmnx0kEIJFD2kfzhAh4hIl_lVCxBKcxq0/s1600-h/Show+Low+Bluff+011.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQIGN7ICvx13jMRyxrk4ABasjW5DgBLp68wb3DSKej1ViGEiOFmOA5cD1V_PK8DztYoZwsel4Q_0ml3-FjNQz-7a__NrSqDB9QuXCNkNl-ssJmnx0kEIJFD2kfzhAh4hIl_lVCxBKcxq0/s320/Show+Low+Bluff+011.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196347692924955202" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdY8qEUSp-uvvFdK37VbEwi8_OyN_ukR-4ur2F5SAvD5tZMnErk04bG5dgl9xF8QTLbHV8Xs0ziyPyuv8-QN7BFG886JhGrw2-G0RXZ1sJCpFQESvyaHbIYa1UMCOiCv3sHH86o-MsT54/s1600-h/Show+Low+Bluff+018.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdY8qEUSp-uvvFdK37VbEwi8_OyN_ukR-4ur2F5SAvD5tZMnErk04bG5dgl9xF8QTLbHV8Xs0ziyPyuv8-QN7BFG886JhGrw2-G0RXZ1sJCpFQESvyaHbIYa1UMCOiCv3sHH86o-MsT54/s320/Show+Low+Bluff+018.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196347701514889810" /></a><br />Last weekend Paul and I went shooting with his Dad out in the desert by our house.

We are doing some models out here for Beazer Homes. My sister and mom also came. It is nice when we can make a work trip into a family trip. We worked until about 9:30pm and started at 4:30am. It was a long day!!!Paul and Darlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08701236186926013493noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563439392481995614.post-84600354522226991002008-04-20T20:15:00.000-07:002008-04-20T20:29:10.288-07:00"Take Me Out To The Ballgame"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeEV2QqjFr4i34ftruOQACTnsq6I85OaK9Cknrq2T7SKtiYRAoOdSG4a2u3Yn2e2dyE7mQZ3ji9gRc6_UaFc6icIOR_A-Q891x_jap3ZPkUXkzUX7k_ccokIAczCGCDTpOvCvS2PUW05U/s1600-h/photos+016.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeEV2QqjFr4i34ftruOQACTnsq6I85OaK9Cknrq2T7SKtiYRAoOdSG4a2u3Yn2e2dyE7mQZ3ji9gRc6_UaFc6icIOR_A-Q891x_jap3ZPkUXkzUX7k_ccokIAczCGCDTpOvCvS2PUW05U/s320/photos+016.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191535006306721922" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyxvZYUWq1tqOkEV_BJ_Vyvei_uzoOKgsb0WBJhCsRvgbYSJvGL4P6bNgi1bLHheLmyWEGJZW40qny6z1gGgHd25UicojNYCE74g9_g1FeZynzAEmUo0Lp2xIRJStqHRLX8HWLMsaMY2g/s1600-h/photos+017.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyxvZYUWq1tqOkEV_BJ_Vyvei_uzoOKgsb0WBJhCsRvgbYSJvGL4P6bNgi1bLHheLmyWEGJZW40qny6z1gGgHd25UicojNYCE74g9_g1FeZynzAEmUo0Lp2xIRJStqHRLX8HWLMsaMY2g/s320/photos+017.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191535014896656530" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmNWuMloTImI0X_bx2TP-t-s6FeyMrUrHEWDsDjWGnsO6LrACeQF5GwfAjGlUinsfPu8kOToNuqcyhbiQMpCg1XX_n7t3UfSTQdNiMdNQ-8UO8lKVUvtOXsIiwhKH7fN1QN4lK5Xx21X8/s1600-h/photos+014.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmNWuMloTImI0X_bx2TP-t-s6FeyMrUrHEWDsDjWGnsO6LrACeQF5GwfAjGlUinsfPu8kOToNuqcyhbiQMpCg1XX_n7t3UfSTQdNiMdNQ-8UO8lKVUvtOXsIiwhKH7fN1QN4lK5Xx21X8/s320/photos+014.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191535019191623842" /></a><br />Last night Paul and I got to go to a Diamondbacks game! It was a lot of fun. My aunt has season tickets and split them up with the family. There were pretty good seats with foul balls come at us left and right. A guy caught a foul ball right behind us. It was pretty cool. The balls come at you pretty fast. The D-backs were playing the San Diego Padres and it was a pretty good game. Paul and I left at the bottom of the 7th inning and the score was 3 to 2 Padres. When we got in the car to go home that is when the D-backs started to light up the bats. We missed it. Not much was going on when we were there. I told Paul we were the bad luck. It was really nice to go and you could not have asked for better weather. <br />I could not believe the size of the hot dogs that they sell now. They do not have the regular hot dogs anymore that come in the foil you have to buy a FOOT LONG hot dog with a bunch of stuff on it and it cost $9.00. I could not believe it. <br />Over all it was really fun!<br />Oh ya, the guy who played Jesus in the "Passion of the Christ" through out the first pitch. It was kind of strange that they announced him as the guy who played Jesus. It just sounded really funny!! hahahaPaul and Darlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08701236186926013493noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563439392481995614.post-52100331834584631432008-04-15T22:05:00.000-07:002008-04-15T22:14:24.202-07:00Trip in the snow!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjftRi0Hv76o6Ixv5W8rkm_knhFt4q9-9Y3fRyboefYGMKmXFHOVhoJ3-5ypzveQTD2GYYtywXIP1SI9zGBBq67OqaldYekNrQNcrhjVR1ONJSO3ZnS5VHnPdIRjSY8bHt9B5dEZgQX_MQ/s1600-h/DSC02024.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjftRi0Hv76o6Ixv5W8rkm_knhFt4q9-9Y3fRyboefYGMKmXFHOVhoJ3-5ypzveQTD2GYYtywXIP1SI9zGBBq67OqaldYekNrQNcrhjVR1ONJSO3ZnS5VHnPdIRjSY8bHt9B5dEZgQX_MQ/s320/DSC02024.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189707152728736658" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhszS8UG44lMcLQvIBsZ2LuXPbWNwM0QznRtSXmtTCuIKXcAIFEmXSSYwyV5kD0_K-1L4d3CX9eqSr4FaCy7kqS_0KV0ACBR5QS5SPzw1Ov9wwpIFgpUOGVrNbm6yhcdr5CafhCxwg4dgk/s1600-h/DSC02031.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhszS8UG44lMcLQvIBsZ2LuXPbWNwM0QznRtSXmtTCuIKXcAIFEmXSSYwyV5kD0_K-1L4d3CX9eqSr4FaCy7kqS_0KV0ACBR5QS5SPzw1Ov9wwpIFgpUOGVrNbm6yhcdr5CafhCxwg4dgk/s320/DSC02031.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189706250785604482" /></a><br />I have not added anything to this blog in a long time so I needed to get caught up. Paul, my mom, the dogs and I went up to Flagstaff this winter to play in the snow. It was such a fun day that we had. The dogs were so cute in the snow. The snow was so deep that you could not see there little legs. It was so cute! Check out this picture of Lola's lips. She must have been really cold. It looks like she had a lip job!Paul and Darlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08701236186926013493noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563439392481995614.post-80913362953027597652007-07-14T07:52:00.000-07:002007-07-14T07:54:25.791-07:00Two Dogs!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg6Et7nfsq3IU6hfF75pXgr3jwt2xFtatKFnlX0w9HBnK-Q2HhygsMBbghERoPjulvlrHburztbeoyciH1kmNcvQtUK__9y_kT02DYj2twMb2TJL8TNF19kq4kjV_kR-FM92DFlLvOlJQ/s1600-h/DSC01229.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg6Et7nfsq3IU6hfF75pXgr3jwt2xFtatKFnlX0w9HBnK-Q2HhygsMBbghERoPjulvlrHburztbeoyciH1kmNcvQtUK__9y_kT02DYj2twMb2TJL8TNF19kq4kjV_kR-FM92DFlLvOlJQ/s320/DSC01229.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5087066006791158578" /></a><br />This past year Paul and I got two of the best dogs!!! We love them so much there names are Jett and Lola. Jett is the black mixture of what we do not know. All we know is that he has big ears. That is what makes him so cute. He also has the best personality. Lola is a Jack Russell Rat Terrier that is full of energy. She is always wanting to play. She is a very cuddly dog that loves to be held also. We are planning on taking them camping this year with all of our new camping gear that we got for Christmas. We even took the dogs up to Prescott a couple of weekends ago to find out camping spot for this year. It was little cold but they were so funny around the lake. They were very curious about the water and did not know what it was. They are joy to have and make every day of our better.Paul and Darlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08701236186926013493noreply@blogger.com2
