HOW TIME FLIES!

Tagged by Lauren AGAIN!!!

WHAT I WAS DOING 20 YEARS AGO (MAY 1988)
Turning 20, I was wild and wreckless, so no doubt I was up to no good and won't get into specifics. (notice the date isn't as specific as Laurens dates are ... my dates are blurry).
Please note that this was 11 years before I knew the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior!

WHAT I WAS DOING 15 YEARS AGO (MAY 1993)
Started skydiving w/my best bud Karin (I call her Kar-bear) and met the love of my life, Christopher John Hoglo! (I have over 300 skydives & my hubby has over 1,500) this was a sport for us, NOT a one time event!

WHAT I WAS DOING 10 YEARS AGO (MAY 1998)
Getting married and on my honeymoon (1 week in Lake Tahoe then 1 week Kauai, HI).
Then returning to look for a job in Santa Clarita, I had just quit my job in hell aka Criminal Defense Lawfirm.

WHAT I WAS DOING 5 YEARS AGO (MAY 2003)
Raising my 1 and 3 year old boys...and loving every minute of it!

WHAT I WAS DOING 1 YEAR AGO (MAY 2007)
Wrapping up our school year and getting ready for Summer Fun!

WHAT I WAS DOING YESTERDAY (MAY 22, 2008)
Discovering that I lost the fight to my first cold in 2008. I began to pack up school stuff. School ended for Lukas on Friday the 16th and for Wyatt Wednesday the 21st, so now it's time for me to pack it all up and store it all away! Yipee!

Lukas won 2nd place for speed at the AWANA Grand Prix.
We are very proud of him.
Lukas' car is the yellow car on the red lane.
This leg put him in the finals!

This is the finals...he placed 2nd!
First place went to Jake Backes.
Great race!
Proud of his car!
Praying for a miracle!

Wyatt won 2 years ago,

Our 10th Wedding Anniversay 05/02/08

Those of you (anyone?) who actually takes the time to read my blog knows that we went to a Marriage Retreat last month. Well, our 10 year wedding anniversary was Friday, May, 2nd 2008, so we decided to make the Marriage Retreat our anniversary gift to each other. We then decided to SURPRISE Wyatt & Lukas with a trip to the "happiest place on earth" on our actual anniversary date. They have NEVER EVER been because Chris and I decided long ago, to wait until they were old enough, not only to remember it, but to ride on everything possible. (Lukas was too short for only one ride (Maliboomer) at California Adventure, and we made them go on EVERYTHING else. OK...back to the surprise...they finally found out on our drive down there the night before. We asked them to read that sign on the freeway "DISNEYLAND...NEXT EXIT!" they screamed. We got a hotel nearby, in order to be close the next morning. When we walked through the gates their reactions brought tears of joy to my eyes~I know it's silly, but there is something really special about seeing your beautiful, fun~loving children so giddy! Needless to say we had a blast, we were at Disneyland from open to close on Thursday 05/01, and California Adventure from open to close on Friday 05/02. We enjoyed the fireworks on our way out of California Adventure and my husband said that he had them specially arranged for our 10th Anniversary...isn't he sweet? (he's a big fat liar...but sweet nonetheless).
Anyway here's some pictures! Who looks happier...the boys or me?
Love,
Georg

Winchester Cheese Farm

Here is a slideshow of our field trip to Winchester Cheese Farm in April 2008. We went with our wonderful home school group, Lighthouse. The boys learned a lot about Gouda Cheese, and had great questions. It was a long day, but we are glad we went.
