Another Family Visit

Our family came and visited a few weeks ago. The group consisted of Jill, Jen, Casey, Preston and Hailey. It was so much fun having all of them down here. It was Preston's 8th birthday, so it was nice spending time with him since we didnt get to see his baptism. I worked for most of the time they were here, but they visited Phillipsburg and went to the huge candy store.

We also took them on a few of our favorite hikes.




It was so relaxing and nice to spend that time with the family, especially with hailey and casey. Being with them made gavin and I love them so much. It is so nice to have our family just about complete. We still have our little kids to add!!
We went to the farmers market bright and early saturday morning and then headed up to flathead lake.

I didnt get a ton of pictures this day which makes me sad. But gavin and preston had a ball on preston's birthday gift, a rip stick.



Isnt he cute! We got him this hat for his bday
On thursday we all rode our bikes on the river path to dinner in the park. We all chose different things to eat and sat and enjoyed the band. We of course went up and got some frozen yogurt and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Saturday night we took everyone to our favorite restuarant, the Tamarack!


We love having family and friends come and visit! I started school a couple of weeks ago and only have one year left!! yahoo! I am deep and busy into work and loving it all of the time. I feel there is a career opportunity right around the corner for me, I just have to continue to work hard to get there. Wish Gavin good luck at the Lotoja this weekend!

Success: How bad do you want it??

I work with one of the most amazing ladies I have ever met. She is always finding way to teach me things that I can use not only in work, but in my life. She is a great example to me as a boss, a mother, a wife, a friend and a stranger, I look up to her a lot. I was watching our buckle year end video today, and she asked me why?? I told her I just needed a little lift, a little inspiration to work hard today. She showed me this video... and its amazing. She never fails to keep me working hard. If you want to know the key to success, check it out. It might take a minute to load, but trust me it is worth it. http://www.wimp.com/wantsuccess/
