Roadtrip 2006

We just returned home from an exciting roadtrip with our future son Ben and of course Vanessa, Briana, Stephanie and her friend Brittany! We picked everyone up in Provo and then stopped in Vegas and then San Diego! We had our "ups" and "downs" and I can honestly say there was never a dull moment! All in all it was lots of fun and we just LOVE our family and our crazy life! Here are a few pics for all to enjoy! (Even though Ryan wasn't with us, I threw one in of him & Steph)

Benessa...The Engagement!


On Saturday evening March 25th, Ben Rucker proposed to Vanessa and she said "YES!" He brought her home to her apartment which to her surprise was decorated with 2 dozen red roses, rose petals scattered about, candles lit everywhere with Frank Sinatra singing in the background. Stephanie, Ryan, and their friend Brittany had decorated the apartment and were hiding the hallway with Ben's puppy "Cramer" which had Vanessa's ring and a sign around his neck that said "Will you marry Ben?". When Vanessa came into the apartment, Stephanie let Cramer out into the living room and he ran to Vanessa. Brittany was hiding behind the couch and got it all on video-tape. Ben's brother Nate and his wife Syd were also hiding in the back! The video shows tears from both...how sweet! If I can figure out how to post it, I will do so soon. They celebrated the night with Martinelli's and Cheesecake! Briana and I arrived on Sunday and will stay most of the week! Let the wedding planning begin!! They have a temple date of Saturday July 1st in the Salt Lake Temple at 10:00 a.m. with a garden reception later on in the evening in Provo. Details will follow soon! Enjoy the photos and video of the big night!

Fun photos from the twins

Stephanie and Vanessa sent me some great photos of their past week. They took Tiffany & Ryan some Costa food Tuesday night and played with the new set of twins for a couple of hours. They each picked their favorite twin and spoiled them all night. Vanessa says: "Steph is ALWAYS holding Lindsey. I'm ALWAYS holding Paige...so cute!!! :) Of course Lindsey is baby A and Paige is baby B."
