Hello and Hope you all had a wonderful Holidays. My family all came down with the flu bug on or near Christmas day. So needless to say our holidays was alittle weird. We had a small but nice Christmas. Collin liked all that he got. Loved the puzzles the most. He is so into putting puzzles together. Lamar was sick in bed but the rest of us went on without him. I would run upstairs every half hour or so to check on him. He did get to open his gifts but really was not into it. I got a gift cert. to the spa. I can't wait to use it!!! Never did snow but was very cold. My brother is now here living with us. He will be here for about 5 or 6 months. Then will get his own place. I hope. Parents are doing fine. We are all working and keeping the house going. Hope you all have a wonderful rest of the year and HAPPY NEW YEARS to you all.

So sorry that it has been so long since my last post. It is now the middle of October. WoW!! Where does the time go. Life has been busy around here. Collin just had Fall break and is back to school. He has taken up tennis at the college. His instructor LOVES him and all his energy. Swimming has been put on the back burner for now. He did well his first quarter of school all A's and B's. Lamar is still working at the course. It is slowing down abit but when he's not working he's playing. Tough life HUH?? I am still at the scrapbook store but have taken on a nanny job. I LOVE IT!!! The family is wonderful. It is for a 5 month old boy and a 2 1/2 yr old girl. I am also teaching scrapbook, cards and other projects classes here in my own scrap room. It has been going pretty good. Weather is still warm and sunny but getting even chillier at night. We are still doing some projects around the house. I don't know if that will ever end. My brother will be moving in around the end of Dec. Only for acouple months or so he says. Any Hoo, Miss ya all. Take care and keep in touch. Aimee and the Fam

September is here and the weather is still as beautiful as ever. The nights are getting alittle chilly. The monsoons seem to have come and gone. Thank goodness!! Collin is now in his second month of school. He is doing good. Still swimming abunch. Lamar and I are still working and shuffling Collin here, there and everywhere. LOL!! Still lots of projects going on at our house. I keep telling Lamar that as soon as we finish the projects we will want to move somewhere else. He says NO WAY!!! I say yes to Hawaii. I wish. Maybe when Collin moves out. Anyways, Miss you all in Oregon. Keep in contact and I'll post again soon, Aimee

It is August now and Collin started school today. He is now in 8th grade. I know you are all saying WHAT!!! school already?? Yes. They get out in May but go back in August. The one nice thing is they get about 10 days off in October. The weather is still hot and we are still having monsoons. Alot of rain and lightning yesterday afternoon. Our peach tree is almost ready for picking. YUM!! We pick and peel and freeze for later in the year. I think we had a peach cobbler every month till June when we ran out. Anyhow. Life is busy and I still miss all my buddies in Oregon. Hope you miss me to. Keep in touch. Until my next blog. BYE

It is now July and the monsoons are here. We have beautiful days but around noon or so the monsoons hit and last for about an hour or so and then off they go and the day returns to beautiful. My family and I have been enjoying dinners on our patio and we love to watch the sunsets. Not only do we get to see sunsets but we also see bunnies, deer, and javelinas. WoW!!!!! What a sight. Sure is different then Oregon. But we do miss it there.
