Hey Everyone! We are just getting started on this Blog thing!! Kinda hard to figure some of it out but I know it will get easier! I'm not real sure where to start so I'll just start by telling a few things that have happened so far this year. Josh and I celebrated our 5th year anniversery, May 3! Hard to believe time has went by so quick! We celebrated by visiting Las Vegas. We had the best time! It was so neat to see all the hotels and all of the attractions that they have. I think the Bellagio was by far my favorite! The flowers were unreal! Josh was dying to ride the roller coster at NYNY but it wasn't up and running yet when we were there! We went to see a show, Mystere, and it was AWESOME!!!!!! Josh got to meet one of his friends that he plays X-Box with online, so that was neat! The food was GREAT!! We ate til I thought I would die! Wasn't sure my clothes were gonna fit!! Josh learned to play Black Jack and I let him play long enough to pull us out of the hole that I created playing the slot machines!!! He was actually getting pretty good! We didn't quite have enough time to see all that we wanted to but I was definately ready to come home (I was missing Ansley SOOO bad!)! I definately want to go back again sometime! Josh has also started back to school. He started back last year. He is currently working on pre-reqs for his Bachelor's in Nursing. His ultimate goal is to become a Family Nurse Practioner! 5 more years to go!! UGH!! I am very proud of him though! On to the children! Gabby is 11 now..ELEVEN!!! She just started the 6th grade! I can't believe it! She is about 10 feet tall and skinny as can be! :) She plays scoccer and does dance. She is amazing at both of them! She was on a travling scoccer team this year and they were very high ranked in the nation for their division and age! She is starting to act grown up...she finally talked her mom in to letting her shave her legs--and she thinks its great! I don't think she realizes its forever now! :) Ansley turned 2 in July! She is so much fun and learning something new everyday (some things I wish she didn't! Really having to watch ourselves and what we say...). She is a VERY active child and wants to touch, pull down, open up, etc any and everything! She definately keeps us busy! She loves music and dancing! She LOVES her "sissy" and the feeling is mutual at this time! I sure hope it stays that way! And she LOVES some Shrek! We have seen the first Shrek at least, um, a trillion times! So much that we pretty much know it word for word! We have finally gotten her to move on to Winnie the Pooh's "The Heffalump" AKA "bumpy"! She has a Lumpy stuffed animal and she will grab him up and watch the movie! She also loves to play outside! I guess that's about it for now... :)
