Swenk meets Berger: March 2009

Spring Break, Ajo Arizona

It was Spring break this year and we thought that we would go and visit Mark and Denise in Ajo, Arizona...Everyone told me it was a one stop light kinda town. Other than the really long drive there and back we had a great time. It was nice to get away from Farmington, and the bonus was that we were able to bring Abby and AJ with us. Denise is quite the little hostest and was supper excited that we were coming to she her. We did a lot during the weekend. I help Denise and her extended family can a bunch of dry goods for a food storage. Note to self its worth the extra money to buy it already canned. It didn't seem like hard work, but we were sure tired afterwards. We went horse back riding, it was lots of fun. Abby is a good little horse back rider and you would think she rides all the time. We rode Charity and Annie, Annie is Denise's baby. It was great fun, and the kids had a great time. Believe it or not Ajo has a restaurant...or two. We went out to eat one night, had some great food. I think the kids were supper hungry because there was not anything left on their plates. Then they all crashed out hard watching TV, check out the pictures of them all sleeping. The next day the kids and Jake were up and running early. He was good about getting them all fed, and out they would go to play and jump on the trampoline. We went and saw Denise's doggie, Tricksy and her baby puppy's. And a ton of other little dogs. We took the kids to the park and had a picnic and played some baseball. It was a nice day, probably 80 degrees and no wind. The dog, Guss even got a workout in, he was one tired pup. Mark came home and we were off to go riding four wheelers till dark. It was fun the kids were all about riding. Good times for sure. Mark cooked our dinner on the grill, supper good food, and the kids at all of what was on their plates and then some...All and all we had a great little visit with the Moore family and it always makes it hard to leave when you are having fun. So I just wanted to say thank you Denise and Mark for letting us come and stay with you for a few days.

Pictures of when Da'Moore's came to town.

Here are some random pictures of when the Da'Moore's came to town.(Ha Ha, I stole that from Jake.) I think the hardest person ever to take a picture of is Thomas, that little guy is great a looking away. But the boy sure can throw a football, he must take after his supper cool Uncle's, Jake and Tom.

I did manage to get some good ones of him, I think. I know Abby had a great time playing with all the kiddo's when they were up here from Ajo.

I'm not sure what Thomas is looking for in the grass, but he sure did get Uncle toms attention. Maybe it was a bug...but who knows with Thomas.

Check out these boy's, and their great big muscle's...I love this picture of Thomas and Tom. Way too cool.

Jake and I at his Mom and Dad's for dinner, this is one of my favorite pictures of us...and we are both wearing red. Jake's favorite color. :)

All us girls...Me, Shirley, Denise and Amber...photo props to Jake for taking the picture.

Ok this is my attempt to photo edit some pictures. This one is of Lauren bug and It was lots of fun to do.

And here is one of Abby Jane.

Boys and football.

Jake was in a Flag Football Tournament...it was fun to get to go and watch him play for the weekend. And that I was able to get to. My best friend Lisa was there too, her husband Matt was on the same team as Jake.

They did really good for just putting a bunch of guys together and didn't really practice but twice. Most of the teams in the tournament had played together for years, or seasons anyway. Good Catch Matt!!!

And here are some great pictures of Jake too...
Their team took 2nd place overall. I think that is pretty good for not even practicing togehter before hand. I was proud of them, and especially Jake. Good job guys.

Check out that fancy foot work on Jake...I love this pictures and him on his toes, to keep the ball inbounds and get the touchdown.

5 MONTHS...What a Lucky Girl I am.

5 Months and counting...So it will be 5 months tomorrow since Jake and I started dating. I can't believe how fast it has gone by. It has been the best 5 months of the my life to date. I can not imagine my life without Jake and AJ in it. It makes me supper excited about life, and the future. Or to just have a future with someone that I love dearly in it. So we will keep on counting...
