Kenna had surgery to remove the tumor and is now undergoing radiation and chemo therapy in hopes to destroy any residual cancer cells in her brain and spinal column.

She has three adorable children ages 6, 4, and 1 and is terrified they will grow up without their mommy.

Andersen's...

We always have to much fun  when we get together with the Andersen's!!!
The other night we got together and had a France night
We made raclette for dinner and crepes for dinner
It was yummy!
The kids had a ball together!!!
Looking at these pictures of the kiddos together makes me cry, because I/WE are going to miss them sooooo much!
The crew... We walk all over the city together, going from the park to the library or on top of the mountain

The crazy boys, Parker and Mr. B, best of friends that never stop moving, especially for a picture. Too cute!

I kept trying to write a caption, but I just cried over everything I wrote. But someone who I can trust and depend on at anytime.

The 2 cutest girls ever. Aren't they adorable in their matching night-gowns!!!

Thanks for the fun night! We always have fun though!
We surely will miss this family!!!

Soccer mom.....

I'm jumping for joy, tickled pink, giddy, so excited I can barely stand it!!!
PARKER IS GOING TO PLAY SOCCER!!!
As he says, on a team!
I'm a little obsessed with the thought of this, maybe it was the years and years and years of soccer I played.
I GET TO BE A SOCCER MOM!
I am so excited for Parker, I can't wait to cheer him on!
But what's even better....
I get to be the soccer coach!!!
Please bless these little 3-4 year old kids we can survive!
As long as we can avoid the mini van it will be great!
First game in April!

French Riviera... Nice, Eze, Monaco and Italy...

Every part of our trip was amazing, we loved every part!!!
Everything just kept getting better and better!
So I have to say we absolutely loved heading to Southern France to the Mediterranean Sea.
We loved the warm weather, the water and some sunshine
While we were in Nice they were celebrating mardi gras.
Eze is the most amazing little walled city
Monaco was rich and full of nice cars
And Italy was beautiful along the coast, and amazing food!
Nice

Aaron and Gabriella... Mediterranean Sea

This is the view from our hotel, that is Eze up on the hill

The food...

Eat, eat, eat and eat some more. While on our vacation we had the chance to eat at a lot of places and experience new food. It was fun and delicious.




 Lots and lots of crepes... mmmmmm.... oh how I am missing crepes! So yummy!
The hot dogs were delicious, even if we did get robbed practically. It was one of our simplest meals but our most expensive one. We payed 7 euros for a coke and I think like 6 euros for the dog, maybe more. But it was good!

 Fondue... A very fun meal, where we had duck, lamb and beef!


 Snacks... Oh how I feel in love hard with nutella

 Dinner crepes




 Some of the best and most amazing pastries...
 Flam, pronounced as flem, but so good!

 dip-dip, one of Gabriella's favorite and ours too. Yum the freshest most tastiest baguettes.

 And our most favorite meal... The Raclette!!!


 The onto Italy for the best Italian food!

And you can't be in Italy without getting gelato!

The food on this trip was amazing, we tried many new foods and were never disappointed. Most people say they loosed 5-10lbs on their vacations to Europe because of all the walking, but I am pretty sure we gained that 5-10lbs because we couldn't stop eating all the food. So yummy!
