Us again...

The top picture is of Jayson and Me by the fountain in Dnipropetrovsk. This is the fountain in the middle of this small park that the Fair is held every year. We actually took the paddle boat this day and at this lake. September 2007
The bottom picture is of us again at the downtown celebration at like midnight in the Ukraine.

This is a picture of my sister and me. My brother Oleg and his family and Yana and Richard and Jayson and I ooh and my single brother Ruslan went to the Chena River and relaxed last year in July 2007. It was so nice, we barbecued and just chilled and talked. We did this just in time. Yana and Richard moved to Virginia in February 2008 and Oleg is in Oregon and Jayson and I are moving to Utah, so we are all scattered. But not for long when Jayson finishes school and Oleg is done in Oregon my parents move to lower 48 we will all come and live close by again and go to the beach again.

This is another picture of us at the lake.

Here is Yana at her baby shower with hubby Richard. This was in November 11 2007.

a little about us

Here is a picture of us the Shapoval side of the family on Christmas 2007. On top from left to right...Jayson, Richard, Ruslan, Dad, and Oleg.. on the bottom are the wife's of the men. Me of course..... Yana, Oleg Jr on Ruslan's lap, Mom, Kristina and my Niece Marcella and of course my Yorkie....Kookla means doll. Here is a picture of Jay and me in the Ukraine. In September 2007, We rented a paddle boat from the owners or should say from the fair grounds people. The cotton candy that we had there tastes a little different than here in USA. We had a lot of fun. I still want to go back and maybe go visit the other cities that we didn't have time to do. This was like a honey moon for us....sort of.
The downtown of the little village that we visited in the Ukraine was Dnipropetrovsk. They were celebrating the anniversary of the town. Well we went and it was like at 10 pm. The party did not start until about 10 anyways, well we walked the threw the city to get from one place to the other. The whole city was up and there were rides and other fun stuff....It was like the fair grounds came to town and took over more than half of the city. Every body was walking and there was games and rides and singing and food and dances and just alot more fun stuff. It took us 4 hours out there and we still did not cover everything and every step... man our feet were so sore and we barely made it to the train station than we had to walk like 3 miles to get to my grandmothers house....what a crazy day it was...but fun.... The flowers were form Jayson that he bought for me for not even two dollars.
The top picture is of me on a bridge and a fountain in the middle of the the lake of the downtown of Dnipropetrovsk. The bottom picture is of Jay looking cool and all. We went to the mall and in the mall we went to this theater, and the cartoon that we watched was like 15 minutes long but when something shook in the movie your seat shook and if there was any water in the movie you got sprayed and we had to put on these 3D glasses and it felt like you were in the movie...kinda scary at first until you get used to it. It was pretty fun...to bad we heard about it later and we were only able to go once.
Here is a picture of one of the office buildings in the Dnipropetrovsk. It was such a pretty city and lots of fun places to go and eat...eat lots of the traditional food....I miss it too much....Jayson got used to it and liked it so much he asks me to make them.

Jayson's Special Times.

Here Jayson and his two sisters. Jamie and Amanda. Ooh doesn't he look happy.
Jayson fishing. You can totally tell Jayson is an outdoor person. Alaska is definitely a place for him.
Jayson and both of his Grandpas. Grandpa Woodland and Grandpa Budgett.
Jayson and his hot motorcycle. I tell him he still needs to get one to ride me around and then out little munchkin when he comes around. A definitely Father and Son thing.

Here is our cowboy hero. What would we do with out him. He is the hero.

Our Wedding Day

The top picture is of our fun crowd. Jayson and I and you see Sarah as my little flower girl. Isn't she just so cute. The best man is my brother Russ and his friend is the other kid Denise. The ring bearer was my cousin and the maid of honor and the brides made are two sisters who are my cousins also. Rick LeCheminant was suppose to be the best man but he got sick. We missed he very much. The Bottom picture is of us and our parents. They were so patient threw the who day. Thank you so much. The bottom picture is of our friendly firefighters. Too bad they could not stay and eat with us and enjoy the entertaining day that they saved.

Sorry for posting so late. We actually were not going to do a blog until our friend Raya inspired us in making a blog. Here is some pictures of our most interesting and different special day. Our day was filled with so much excitement that when we hit lots of bumps that day it made the day even more exciting. As you can all see that we even had the firefighters came to visit us. The cook did not turn on the fan in the kitchen and the smoke from cooking started the alarms. The only thing that did not go off are the water sprinkles in the ceiling. We took some pictures with the firefighters and some with there truck. When I have more time I will post more pictures, but for now I hope this is OK.
