2010 review

since i have been such an outstanding blogger this year - LOL!
i thought it would be fun to recap some highlights of our year.

embellish IT! sponsored a scrapbook cruise on royal caribbean. we decided to leave the 2 little ones home & bring the older 2 kids & steve's parents (they were ALOT less work :) we went to mexico & enjoyed 7 days of great food, sun & no diapers!








somebody turned 1 this year ... it was hard having my last baby turn 1




easter with many cousins! 12 out of 16 - missing the shane rushing family




we LOVE baseball - not sure who loves it more... the player, the coach(steve) or me!




brock graduated from preschool - this is the only time i have ever seen brock embarrassed




august is the start of FOOTBALL - doesn't last very long but it is VERY intense around here! keegan is the cutest cheerleader but mom is for sure the loudest! that is jake with the ball - love that guy hanging onto his shirt






we participated in a walk with my cousin who was walking for kids that need prosthetics from salt lake city to st.george. the kids really enjoyed walking for a cause & keegan LOVED that it made her "famous" (we were in the newspaper the next day).




another cruise sponsored by embellish IT! this time to eastern caribbean for a week- a total ME trip: beach, food, scrapbook & little sleep :) sometimes work obligations sure are tough to swallow LOL







halloween is always one of our most favorite times of the year




thanksgiving at grandma's - 4 of 5 of my siblings & families were there. here is a pic of me & my 2 sisters with my mom. then one of our little family.






last but not least - our family trip to hawaii.

What wonderful photos! You have a beautiful family and I'm thrilled that it seems you had a good year. My prayer is that your 2011 is just as blessed if not more so! Happy New Year!

Do not ever rent an Airbnb from this person. She is a scam artist and does not pay the people that provide services for her. She owes me $570 for cleaning services and is pocketing the money.

She also scammed us out of a pet deposit and waited for us to give her a good review although her house requirements stated a dog friendly home. We did not find out until we got there that dogs have to be gated only on bottom level and not allowed on furniture. We followed the rules and she did not return our pet deposit. We messaged her and it took her multiple days to respond and said cleaners found dog hair all on furniture and dog poop in the very tiny back yard with no grass and only small area around a tree with rocks. I know there was no dog poop because I did a scan of the backyard and also he never pooped in the backyard because he was never out there without us. We brought out dog for walks multiple times a day and he pooped on our walks around the trails. So Shelby sent us a picture of the dog poop. It was poop the size a small Maltese would make. We have a 95lb dog and believe me his poops are much larger than that. She then proceeded to send us pictures of dog fur it was very coarse dog fur the type that comes from a shepherd type dog. We have poodle mix is hair is very curly and he rarely sheds. His hair is finer and honestly could look almost like human hair. We contacted Airbnb and they gave us a refund after explaining our experience. Do not rent from her! I have read other bad reviews where renters had to cancel late due to her miscommunication and then never getting refunded. Also other pet owners bad experience.
