Busy Doing Nothing

So, lately we have been up to pretty much NOTHING! Right after we came home from Alaska, Mom & Dad flew out to Ohio and we've been watching their 2 kids (Jack and Maggie, their 2 dogs). I don't want to jinx it, but things have been going very good with all 4 of the dogs. Griff and Jack just lay around while Gracie and Maggie annoy them to no end. Ella has been doing great going to Preschool with her friend Sandra, and lately, the two of them have been having play dates on a daily basis. I'm enjoying the fact that right now none of the kids are signed up for a sport, but at the same time I feel like we're missing out. I guess that's the competitive side of me coming out, huh? I've been thinking about signing the girls up for dance at the studio down the street, but I just haven't gotten around to it. I've been threatening Zach that if he starts playing too much PS 2 or the Wii that I'm going to sign him up for dance as well. He's been riding his bike over to his friends house everyday after school to play football...I guess that worked out good, huh? Today, Brian officially became a US Citizen!!! Other than that, it's life as usual with the Beazer's.

Love to all, Kim

We're Back Safe & Sound

It's taken me quite a while, but I finally made it through all the photos. It was nice to go on a cruise, but next time I think we'll go somewhere WARM. The weather was really nice (for Alaska), but it was still chilly compared to the weather we'd been having here. My favorite excursion on the trip was definitely the Zipline. I am seriously afraid of heights, but after the practice run I was confident that these guides knew what they were doing. It was a blast! Everyone seemed to have a nice time...I think the cruise was for sure a success.

I don't mean to cut it short, but I need to head over to the church and learn how to make some yummy salsa.

Oh, before I forget...below is a photo from when my dear friend Barb came to visit. We went to Temple Square, went out to eat, and then we had time to just relax and catch up. It was so nice to see her and the kids. Also, there are photos from Ella's official first day of Preschool (with her friend Sandra...check out Ella's face. She wasn't so sure about leaving me and going all by herself)...the rest are from our trip to Alaska (as I'm sure you can tell). Enjoy! Love, Kim

Ahoy!

Greetings from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport! Brian and I are waiting to board our flight to Vancouver, and I have nothing better to do...blogging is way better than just sitting here people-watching. Anyhow, we will be staying in Vancouver this evening, maybe do a little sight seeing. In the morning we will be boarding our ship, and then off to ALASKA. All the Beazer's, Morgan & Nedra, and all of Brian's siblings (minus Jim who couldn't get away from work) are going!! My parents are staying with the kids, and Zachary is totally LOVING IT! He couldn't wait for us to leave...a little sad for me, but I am happy that he loves being with Nannie and Papa so much. I have been an emotional wreck this week getting ready for this...I have never left my kids before, EVER. My mom has a detailed agenda for every day (I know that drives her crazy, but it helps me cope), and I know they will be better than fine with my parents. I'll be praying for Tess to be on her best behavior (for her sake and Nannie & Papa's). I don't know when I'll be able to update, but until then...love and happiness, Kim
