Cards I made in April

It has been a while since I've posted any crafts and I had a lot in the month of April. I have lots more cooking up too, I just haven't touched them yet since we've moved. I started a project for one of my friends who's going to have a baby in Oct. but there is still lots to do to it before it is done. I'll post it when I get it finished!

Scary Day

Today was a very scary day here! These photos of funnel clouds were taken at about 8 pm at my mother and father's house. This is what was going on all day long in Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska & Kansas. Several tornado's touched down today, also. Here in Cheyenne, there were several reports of touch downs but no reported damages. Parts of Laramie, Wyo were damaged. Windsor, Colorado had lots of damage and one reported fatality. And other parts of that area like Fort Collins and Greeley saw some damage too. Hopefully this isn't a preview of the summer to come here in Cheyenne, because if it is I might just go back to California! We here are all OK and I'll keep everyone posted!

Nick's first Fishing trip

On Sunday Nick and I went fishing with mom, dad, and uncle Tony and one of his friends. Nick didn't quite know what to think of the fish. He was actually scared of them but he did touch one first before he became scared of it. Other than the high winds it was a good fishing trip. We had lots of fun and hopefully next time it won't be so windy. Oh and this little Nick doesn't care how cold the water is, he is ready to jump right in. Even if he freezes his toes! : )

Long Trip

Well Nick helped Jason take apart the table. The next day we went to Yuma, Az to get the Uhaul trailor, that was on Friday April 25. The next day Ben dropped Nick and myself off at the airport and we flew to Salt Lake City. Lisa was nice enough to pick us up and put up with us for a whole weekend. While her own husband was hijacked by mine to finish up loading, cleaning and driving to Salt Lake. (She even coped very well with my very loud boy and my non-stop talking) : ) Nick loves Emma. He fell in love with her the second he saw her again. All he wanted to do was hug her. The mountains there were so beautiful, too. Still had a little snow on them. We then made it to Wyoming on Tuesday. Got a little settled before we hit the road, again. To northern Wyo. to spend time with Grammy Marie. Then off to South Dakota to see Grandma & Grandpa G. On late Wed May 7 we finally headed back home to finish settling as much as possible before Ben leaves. While in South Dakota, Nick enjoyed test driving one of Grandpa's jobs. We spent about 3 1/2 days home then on the road to Denver to fly Ben back to Cali. He left yesterday to Hawaii and Guam and will be leaving sometime tonight on the ship where he will call home for the next couple of months. Ben has driven almost 3000 miles and flown approx. 7400 miles in less than one month. And his adventure is just beginning right now, as in he has arrived on the ship to deploy. Good luck Ben! We Love You! And can't wait until you return home, and can welcome your new family member!

Erica, Nicholas & Connor

Back in WYO!

Nick and I are now settled back home and miss the nice weather of San Diego! They are calling for snow again tonight and tomorrow : ( I love being back with my family and friends but I also miss the friends in Cali and the warm fresh air, beaches and scenery! And most of all, I miss my wonderful and loving husband Ben!
