I am gonna be a MOTHER-IN-LAW!!!

Doesn't this freak you out! Andrew is getting married. The boy I didn't think would ever graduate high school let alone get a job, a house and a wife. Time does change all!! He has grown into a fabulous man! He bought a beautiful house in Wasilla, Alaska and will be married in July 2009. Adrienne is a fabulous girl who seems to complement Andrew well. She is laid back and quiet... opposites attract. I love her already and am super excited about the wedding. Welcome to this crazy Fueller Family Adrienne!!

Big Bear 2008

We spent a week in Big Bear this July. The weather was fabulous...it rained each day enough to satisfy my desire to have some need for a fire but not too much that we couldn't get out and enjoy the outdoors. We went hiking and explored different things we haven't done there yet. We went to a zoo and a petting farm. The kids loved it. Of course, Jilliann played with the local cat the whole time. We have one at home but she preferred to play with the one we spent $20 to go see!! We played lots of board games and just enjoyed some real quality family time. It was one of the best trips we have had.

4th of July...on the 3rd

Our community celebrates the 4th of July on the 3rd (so families can still get together on the 4th). They had lots of fun things for the kids to do and a huge fireworks show at the end of the evening. It was only 103 out too!! Yikes. Luckily they had water slides and bouncy things for the kids. It was a great evening and lots of fun. The 4th will be spent lounging by the pool enjoying some wonderful drinks and a barbecue with my parents (and countless neighborhood kids that show up!). Happy 4th to all...

Johnny

He actually let me photograph him!! Here he is with his favorite bunch of kids!! He insisted we go to Chinese food for his birthday. He knows all those buffets freak me out so we compromised on a regular Chinese restaurant. We are very proud of him!! He is an excellent big brother and an even better son!! The kids miss him terribly but they are looking forward to sleepovers and Johnny's house!!!

Just....Can't...Make...It.....

After a day of party after party she just couldnt make it. A chicken patty sounded good but after 2 bites she was down for the count. Poor thing!

Party Party Party

June and July bring massive birthday's so I threw one big party to celebrate it all. Robert the Great turned 92, Grandpa George turned 71, Austin turned 14, Johnny turned 24 and Christian will be 6 at the end of July. All the family came and we shared in good food and lots of laughter. We are blessed to be able to get together and have Alys and Robert the Great still attend!!

CHCHCHCHC Changes....

Johnny has left the building!! A bittersweet day has come...Johnny has moved into his own apartment. Christian cried for days! Poor guy. But, with Johnny gone we rearranged some rooms. We put Austin upstairs in Johnny's old room and then created a playroom for Jilliann full of play house items and baby dolls. It is a work in progress but so far she likes it. Jilliann also moved into a big girl bed. Down came the beautiful crib (thanks to Auntie DeeDee) and up went a castle bed fit for a princess!! I will post pictures of Austin's new room and Johnny's apartment soon!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Daddy turned 43 this year. We celebrated at Logan's Steak House...his favorite!! We made sure they yelled loudly to announce his birthday just to extra embarrass him!! He got some clothes, flip flops and a GPS for his car!! We love you Babe!! Happy Birthday!

Note to Self...

Note to self....Do NOT leave butt cream where Jilliann can reach it!!
