John - My Kindred Spirit (A True Story)

True Story! About 17-1/2 years ago, John received a cute card in the mail. Thinking it was from me (whom he had not seen in 2 years) he sent me a cute romantic card back. Wow! I called and thanked him and he invited me over and the rest is HISTORY. Here we are 17 years later, celebrating our 17th wedding anniversary today. The ironic thing about this......is that I never sent the card to him in the first place. I truly believe it came from an Angel...who knew we were meant to be kindred spirits and share our lives. I love him so much and am thankful for the time I have been blessed to be with him as his wife. He is caring, loving, giving, a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. John...thank you for letting me be a part of your life!!!!!!!!

Jennifer, Heather, Emily and Kimberly Going to Concert

Why are these girls smiling! Oh Yes...they are smiling because they are about to get into the car to go and see the Hannah Montanna Concert. They were singing all the way to the concert...not to mention they were still singing and singing and singing when we picked them up after the concert. Too funny!!!!

Here they are walking to go into the arena for the concert...they were all just as cute as could be.

Love these Girls!!!!!!


Go to John's blog for a pre-concert video. Emily took a lot of pictures too.

Travis Rolls Into Phoenix for a Visit

Was really nice to see Travis roll into Phoenix for a short visit on his way to deliver a load to Pomona, California. We crammed as much as we could into a 24 hour visit. He arrived just in time to see the last 15 minutes of Justin's game (which they won and Justin made a touchdown). Travis will post more on his blog so keep looking. Again...it was a really good visit. Drive safely out there Travis.....love from the Cloud Household.

New Football Season Begins for Justin

Justin played his first game of the winter season on Saturday afternoon. John and I were there to cheer him on and of course his Dad was really prowd of him. This is a picture of Jason with Justin after the game. His team won 40 to 6 and to his credit he had 30 yards rushing, 1 touchdown, 5 solo tackles and played just a good all around game. Way to Go Justin! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! HE LOVES THIS GAME!

Early Birthday Surprise for the Girls!

John and I decided to give Emily, Heather, Jennifer and Kimberly an EARLY birthday surprise. We all met at TGIF Fridays for lunch. After a yummy lunch, waiters singing happy birthday, balloons and ice cream sundeas, we gave them 4 envelopes with clues. (1) dress comfy (2) you will get plenty of exercise, (3) where will you be Jan. 22nd (4) 6 puzzle pieces to put together. Can you guess where they are going? Yep...it was a puzzle of Hannah Montanna. They will be singing and dancing the night away at a Hannah Montanna concert! Have fun girls...they were soooooo excited!
