Big News

We have booked up to go to America in June and July which is pretty exciting and gives us a big date to look forward to, and my mum has also booked to come too. The trip will be Jamie’s going home trip, my summer holiday, Reagan and Lincoln’s big adventure and me mums first trip to the states.

Jamie is already planning the whole thing and looks like we will spend a couple of night in Chicago and stay with Troy Angie Joe Sydney and Ella and then on to Denver for a couple of weeks to stay with Pam Cliff and Nemily. I know Jamie is the most excited, but me mum is up there as well being a CSI (in any form) and I know how she will be when she arrives in America and the things she’ll be looking for, like steam coming out of grids, yellow buses and back alleys with cardboard boxes to crash cars through lol I just know what my image I had before stepping foot in the country and it was all created by cop shows on tv

I am super excited because its a summer holiday and if I’m honest I just want to laze around in the sun for a couple of weeks with Jamie’s family my family and all “our” (I hope I can say that?) friends that we hope to see while we’re there. Also can’t wait to go to Wyoming and see the places Jamie talks so affectionately about so often and get another ‘state’ sign to stand by lol

Well I think its big news and we’re counting the days and today we’re 134 days away 🙂

An AMAZING piece of artwork by Nemily Rose Isbell

I have been aware that Nemily was working on a scrapbook for her sister as I have been asked to help on occasion but having now seen the finished product it embarrasses me to even give the impression I helped in the creation of what I can only describe as a piece ART that just so happens to be about our lives. It truly is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen and taking the following photographs could never do justice to how much thought and creative imagination there is or just how much work has gone into every single page.

Your sister has been in tears pouring over every inch of her scrapbook and is certain she has the best sister in the world (although Lincoln disagrees hehehehe) I have looked through it twice and photographed it once and I do not think I have seen half of what you have put into it. You must have spent hours and hours creating it and I just want to say you have made your sister very happy and proud today because she has been gushing to anyone who will listen about what a great sister you are…although I know she knew that before.

Christmas morning 2012

Reagan was so scared to come down stairs because when I said Santa’s been she thought he was sat down stairs ? When the only people sat down stairs were Nemily and Grandma on skype…

Thanksgiving 2012 (The Night time)

Once the children were in bed we spent the rest of our evening with Jamie’s family, on Skye, while they ate their meal and Jamie said grace as she did at our table earlier. The following text is what she wrote and read at both

This was grace for our meal and Pam’s

Finally we could sit down after entertaining all day and just enjoy the peace and quiet while we chatted with Pam Cliff and Emily
