So last Friday we took the girls (finally) to Johnny's Incredible Pizza. It's over in Moreno Valley right where the 215 turns in to the 60. We went to escape the heat. Boy, did that work. So we walked in and the place was a little over whelming, but in a good way. You see the place is all you can eat buffet style. So you buy the buffet and then credits on a card. It's like a Dave & Busters, but for kids. The atmosphere was amazing. There were 5 different rooms that you could choose to eat in. We chose the Toon Movie room. There were toon posters on the wall and there were countless screens playing old toon videos. The girls loved it, and Evelyn was naming off all the movie posters she saw on the walls. So the different buffet bars were: Salad and bread sticks, then there was potato and pasta. Which was all very good. Then there was a pizza bar that had more kinds of pizza then we could count. Because every time one of us went back they had a different pizza in the same spot. There were 20 different spots for the pizzas. Then there was a dessert bar with warm chewy sugar cookies and chocolate chip. 2 kinds of cake, apple crisp and soft serve with a toppings bar. There was a huge drink island. The girls love their kid sized ice cream cones. Sorry some of the pictures aren't great. We had taken them with Travis' camera phone. But they still came out cute. Anyway, then we moved on to the rides. Which was so cool. They had this really high ride that Evelyn was tall enough to ride. So we asked he if she wanted to ride and she said yes all excited. So we said ok. This little girl isn't afraid of any thing. Here she is at the bottom. She looks so tiny on the thing. She also was holding on for dear life. Because it went way up high and then dropped you fast and then stop go back up alittle and drop you some more. But she had a smile on her face the whole time. Here she is way up high in this picture. I am just glad that she didn't loose her dinner. She loved it and wanted to do it again. We had to tell her no. Because there were other things to do, and boy were there. I have to say that we are probably never going back to Chuck E Cheese again. This place made your buck go so much farther and was so much more entertaining. The rides were amazing. There was still games that paid out tickets, and paid out well. There was a little kiddy roller coaster. Travis and Evelyn road the kiddy coaster. There was even an outdoor sized ride. Which Evelyn and I went on. It's like the tea cups and the twister ride combined. Evelyn wanted me to make it spin faster but I had to tell her "NO Honey Mommy is going to get sick". LOL! So they even had bumper cars which we didn't go on. But we played some more games and then we came upon a little bowling alley. So we went over to it and Evelyn bowled for the first time. So cute, even Katelyn got to chuck a ball. And boy did she throw it! (it bounced hahaha).There were some toddler sized rides. They even had a play area that was gated. It was so that the toddlers could run around and just wear themselves out. Katelyn loved it. Evelyn even enjoyed herself in it. It was so nice to kick back and enjoy the cool air. Let the kids run around and go down the slide with out it burning their butts.:)So all in all we had a wonderful time and we will be going back many more times to come. So we absolutely loved there and anytime anyone wants to go we will go with you if you want. It is our new favorite place. We can't wait to go back.

.
Five wonderful years ago I married my best friend. It seems to me that there are a lot of people to whom I could give credit for bringing the two of us together, but I think the truth is there is only one, my heavenly father. You see he had a grand plan for our lives. I truely believe that Travis was made for me and I for him. As far as I can tell this is where our story begins. Way back in 1990 we were actually in the same youth group together. It was called Life force and it was lead by Robert Lee. He was so on fire for God and one of the best youth leaders I have had in my life. Travis and I don't really remember each other because I was in Jr. High and he was in High school. But he does remember a girl getting her nose broke at a youth event. Oh and that girl was me, we were playing ice broom hockey. So years later in 97 Sarah and I started going to MSJC where we befriended Lisa Miller. We had a ton of fun in our classes together and going to Coco's for breakfast. But then Lisa left us to go to Biola. We lost touch until 2001. Sarah had recieved an email from Lisa. She was getting married and wanted Sarah and I both to be in her wedding. We were delighted and honored. We were so nervous we didn't know any of Lisa's friends or family. Only heaven knew that this family would soon become my family. The first time we met was at Lisa's rehearsal. You see Lisa and her family were scheeming to get Travis and I together. So they paired us up to walk down the isle together.
So then it was wedding time. Travis was so funny,at the reception where ever I went he went to the opposite side of the whole place. So his wonderful Auntie from Hawaii, love you Aunt Carol, came up to me and wanted me to dance with her nephew. I politely told her no thank you, being shy myself. So my mom drug me to the dance floor and his aunt drug him. I was all set to do the chicken dance with my mom until she threw me across the floor literally to dance with him. So our first dance was the Chicken dance. Then we started dating from that night on. But Travis asked me to be his girl friend on february 24th on our way home from Vegas. The first time he put his arm around me was on the Gondala ride. You see Travis was still really shy and he wouldn't hold my hand or anything. So Greg asked Travis to show him how big the biggest fish he had ever caught was. He still would put his arm around me so as he was showing us how big the fish was I grabbed his arm and put it behind me. Silly man! So when you go under the bridges on the gondala ride your suppose to kiss. Well I had NEVER been kissed. I had never even had a boy friend. So the gondala driver said we had to, so I kissed him on the cheek..
So I had the time of my life in Vegas. We saw Blue Man Group, stayed at the Stratosphere, took a Gondala ride at the Venitian and I rode in my first taxi. We had walked the whole strip and none of us had the energy to walk back to New york New York(the hotel). And many more wonderful exciting things happened that year. His best friend got married, Sarah found out she was pregnant, that wasn't a good thing at the time, but every child is a miracle and we wouldn't change that, because then I wouldn't have my neice Ellyce. Then we came to one of my best birthdays ever. My first boyfriend (Travis) made it the best birthday I had ever had. He bought me diamonds, Roxy sunglasses and took me to Disneyland. And all my friends came too. It was a wonderful day.
And I jumped out of a perfectly good airplane.
We went to a wedding together.
We then went to Hawaii to see Aunt Carol and Uncle Bj and the rest of their family. That was the best trip we took together. We did everything.Climbed Diamond head.. Did everything you can on Oahu. Got to get in to Sea Life Park for free and play with the dolphins.
We watched his cousin Courtney hula. Went on a dinner cruise which was very romantic.

Had fun at the Farmers Fair.
Then he asked me to marry him. It was the was this beautiful place we found by chance. As we were going up to Idylwild the roads were covered in snow and we couldn't go any farther. So when we pulled over there was a walk way to this beautiful lookout. And that is where he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. We also built a snow man. That was a first for Travis.
We went with April and her college friends to see the Nutcracker in San Diego.
Went on a missions trip to Mexico and we gave this little boy a bike. The wedding was fast approaching.Another one of the best days of my life and our lives together started June 21st,2003. And now as we approch June 21st 2008 it has been 5 wonderful years. We have welcomed neices, nephews, brother-in-laws, and a sister-in-law. The most important events to happen is when we welcomed the two greatest additions to our family. Evelyn born on Sept 19, 2004 and Katelyn Jan 2nd, 2007. Now our family is complete. In the five years we have been married we have moved 5 times. We have gotten 1 new car. Travis has had new job postion as network administrator in 2006. There have been a lot of changes in our lives in the past 5 years, but there is one thing that never changes and that is that we love each other. More and more, every day more than the last. The last five years may have been a roller coaster ride, but there isn't anything I would change. God has a perfect plan and will for our lives, and as long as we stay in His will there will be not only 5 more years to come, but many many more. I love you Travis Miller and I will love you until my dying day. And I look forward to sharing more memories, love, good times and bad times all the days of my life. All my love for ever!


There is also a fun slide show at the bottom of our lives before we met. Hope you enjoy.


First the year started off with Katelyn turning one January second. And that was just the beginning of more to come. Aunt Charity left to go study in London and wouldn't be back until May. Travis has been flying to Mesa, AZ. to work, and gone there two days a week. It started off two weeks in a row, then turned to four weeks in a row. I became a bible study leader for our women's ministry, and helping in the preschooler every other Sunday, and now I am the teacher every other Sunday. Then March came and that was a really busy month. April my sister had her bridal shower, both of our mom's birthdays are in march. It just seems like the year was already going so fast. Some friends got married March first. Then April came and time just went even faster. There were birthdays and day to day running around, I feel like I am leaving things out. Friends having babies. So much all at once. But May has been the biggest month. Not only was it my birthday but two days after on May 20th we welcomed little Elyjah Rychard Williams. Very handsome little baby boy. The first boy for the Carroll family. The poor boy is going to be surrounded by aunts and big sister and girl cousins. Mother's day was great because Aunt Carol and Uncle Bj came from Hi. So we spent it in San Diego with the Miller side. My parents came down from Idaho that Friday and there was the rehearsal for Greg and Megan's wedding. Then on Saturday was the wedding of Greg and Megan on May 24th. Congrats to both of you. Then Sunday Charity came home from London, and I left for Vegas for 3 days. Which was a blast, it was for April's bachelorette party. We stayed at the Mandalay bay hotel. In a gorgeous two bedroom suite. We went to a club, saw a show and spent a whole day down by the pool it was great. Then we came back and April had a bride's day at Glen Ivy. That was my first time going. I loved it. And then Friday was rehearsal. Saturday was April and Brian's wedding May 31st. It was beautiful. Now we are in to June. And Travis and I are celebrating our 5 year anniversary on June 21st. Where has the time gone! We are going to Palm Springs and taking the tram to the restaurant at the top. I am very much looking forward to that. Something we both have never done. Now things just keep going with with more birthdays and graduations. But we thank God for this wonderful year so far. There have been many trials, but we are great fully blessed with new family members and watching our family grow right before our eyes. Whether they are a new Sister in laws, Brother in laws, or Nephew. So we welcome little Elyjah, Megan and Brian. And it has been allot of big milestones for the year. I'm sure I have left things out and if I remember them then I will revise this. But for now it is as up to date as it's going to get. It has been a very event full year so far. And there is certainly more to come. We THANK YOU Lord for all the blessings and trials you have given us so far this year. We pray that you continue to bless us and help us through the trials ahead. We thank you for your love and we praise your name.
