Spring Break

It was a QUICK trip, but we had a great 3 days in St. George over spring break last week! Got to spend time with Grandparents and old friends, the weather cooperated, the kids had a blast and Mandy even got an evening out with her girlfriends (Thanks Kenon and Kristi)!

Troy enjoyed his first time using movie maker way too much.....

In Memory of Rob

I recently had a dear friend pass away. While my oldest friend Patti and I were roomates in Provo I was fortunate enought to watch her fall in love with the most wonderful man named Rob Epperson. He was truly her soulmate and they have had a beautiful family of 5 kids over the past 12 years. Rob passed away last week from very sudden cancer and I attended his heartbreaking funeral on Friday. It was devastating to see the loss that family has endured, yet it is a remarkable story of faith as well. Please take a moment to read their journal on their website, start from their first entry and work your way forward. It will change your life......

This is a picture from the last time I saw Rob when they came to visit me on Easter of last year.

My baby is 6...

We kept the festivities for Cole a little more low key this year. I was slightly burned out by the end of all of this, it has been a crazy month. Cole chose 2 friends to join him at the Living Planet Aquarium, it was fast and easy, not too expensive and the kids loved it. It didn't hurt that their was a 7-11 across the street so we stopped for slurpees after. Apparently that makes any outing a success.

Liv turns 9!

I can hardly believe she is getting so old so fast. But she is turning into the most beautiful girl in every way! We had a joint Family Party for her and Cole since their birthday's are so close together. Then she had a High School Musical Slumber Party with 5 friends.....they has a BLAST!

Beautiful Kids

Some recent pictures of the kids from their 'family'/ engagement pictures they has taken with Chad and Jen. The kids' turned out amazing!

And if curiousity (most of you know what I am talking about) gets the best of you you can see the rest @ fausetphotograhpy.blogspot.com....

GAP sale

Okay, here is your Gap connection ya'all.
Last minute clearance sale started today to clear out all of our winter merchandise cause we have WAY TOO MUCH. All sale at ALL GAP stores is an additional 25% existing sale prices (and theya re slready cheap) off through Monday. Though I can tell you just from experiencing my store today that it will be gone by Saturday. I don't know how other stores are sitting but I have plenty of Adult and Body product, some Kids and TONS of BABY. And at Gateway we price killed it which for all those of you who aren't familiar with this term means we cut the lowest corporate markdown price ending in .97 in half and then you get the % off on top of that. Great time to come in and get some goods. And if you happen to be in my neck of the woods (I know you will freeze your a** off) come see me at the GATEWAY!!!
PS...Utahns: Southtown GAP is closing January 26th. They might not have as much product as the other stores.....

I guess I'm gonna join the bandwagon on this one. Not sure how great of a blogger I will be seeing as how I have ZERO free time, but I suppose it will keep me more connected than I have been since I NEVER get to catch up with friends and family! So here goes nuthin.......
