Can you say... so sad!

That is this blog, I can't even manage to get blogs posted after each event let alone each month. So I have posted events in order of what happened most recently so it looks like I was keeping up... yeah right! Anyways, life has been busy as usual but I am now taking time to enjoy this beautiful weather and slow down. I am often reminded of how precious life is and I wish I could keep this in perspective more often. Even though we are busy, we are always having fun and that is most important!

March Birthdays!

Well some of my most favorite people have birthdays in March but of course Mike's is most important to me! We celebrated the day after the fun filled wedding so you can imagine what shape we were in. We actually ended up having a very pleasant day together. We went to see Alice In Wonderland and had dinner with his family at Oregano's. Mike made a joke because he said the girls get a "birthday week" and I get a birthday "weekend"... he did get the short end of the stick this year due to the wedding craziness but we tried to make it as special as possible. What I love about Mike is that about all he needs is "quality time with his family" to make him happy and he truly means this. I married a simple man, with simple requests..... I love you babe!

Family Wedding

My cousin Kathleen got married a few weeks ago and it was absolutely beautiful! Tatum was asked to be the flower girl and she was thrilled. The wedding was held at the Brophy Chapel which made for a very intimate but traditional Catholic wedding. My cousin looked beautiful and so did every last detail of this wedding. The reception was at the Ritz Carlton where it was fine dining at it's best and of course the fact that my children, neices and nephews had their very own table with two servers assigned to meet their every need was extremely wonderful for us. The whole family had a blast and the open bar made for an even more outrageous experience! This will be a family story that will be told for years to come.

Family Trip to Flagstaff in January
Since Tatum has been on this traveling dance team we have been quite busy. As a dance team the group went to Flagstaff to perform during an NAU basketball game. Mike and I looked at this as a nice little weekend away to see the snow, by the end of the day we were exhausted! It was fun in the snow but much of what we did involved shuttling Tatum around to various practices and activities. Overall we were glad to get away and spend time as a family!
