Top 3 for today...

Here are todays top three...

1. I uploaded my very first card for the www.Linnecards.com Design Team!!! Gotta love Doodlebug!!! 2. We finally finished Morgan's room! Poor kid, her room has been torn up since her birthday August 1st. She had some very lovely 1980's Laura Ashley wallpaper that I swear was super glued to the walls. It's not completely finished. I still have to order new blinds and curtains but at least she can sleep in her room again!3. I bought chocolate marshmallows at Walmart. OMG! They are so good!!!

Have a great week!

Where does the time go

YIKES! Where has the time gone? My last post was from the beginning of July and here we are the beginning of September! Well, what I think I'm going to do is a little recap of our summer over the next few posts...

We had a blast on our trip to the Dells with the Rogans! The kids all get along SO well and Laura and I well...She's just the best!!! We love you guys! Thanks for the great trip! The girls are still talking about it!

Huge Bummer! I lost all our pictures from that trip! I can't find them anywhere!

Ok, I just found them. Couldn't tell you where they were, but I found them!

This one is from dinner at MooseJaw. The nachos were so good!

Tucker hamming it up for the camera.

My little Sean! Isn't he adorable?

We are off...

The girls and I are off to Wisconsin Dells with some friends of ours. Four kids and two adults should be a ton of fun!!!!! But we just wanted to say goodbye to Daddy! Bye-bye Dadoo! Bye Dad! We love you! We will see you Thursday afternoon...

Just wanted to leave you with this...

We are back...

Well we finally made it back from Mexico. Why does it always seem like it takes longer to get home? It was wonderful!!! Too blasted hot at times...thank God for air conditioning! The first picture is the hut we would sit in by the pool. Great views and a pleasant breeze!

Here is the path to the beach...

The ocean...

This is the other side of the pool. There were at least 3 more pools just on the property we were on...

Well, it was fun while we were gone but it's nice to be home too. :)

Now for the deprograming of the children...

Today was the first day we got to go to the public pool. The girls have been asking since March when they could go. They had a blast!

I had lost them for a while in the pool and when i saw them again they were running towards me. I was afraid something had happened. But Andie burst out in a huge grin and said, "I went down the big slide!" HUH? Really?!? I have got to see this! So with a little girl on each side of me (and my camera in my hand) I got to see this...


Andie went down the slide all alone! Without me! No talking about it! No negotiating! No whining! Ladies and Gentlemen this is a first! You know what? That wasn't the only first of the day. If you look carefully at the first picture in my post there are TWO little girls smiling. Two real smiles. As some of you know my Andie has not been real keen on smiling lately. Like for the last year and a half. I'll have to post her latest school pictures... but that's for another time... My little girls are growing up (sigh). It makes me feel so good when something like this happens. It makes me feel like I am doing something right and these kids might just turn
out alright after all...

Since I am completely blogger illiterate (and spelling challenged) I have to add my pictures in another entry instead of with the post... Here's the pool. Bargain of the century $40. Thanks Mom! :) Here's to warmer weather!

You gotta love the smell of Coppertone in the morning!

Eric came home this morning to put up the pool for the girls. AWWW so sweet! They were SO excited! We went out for lunch with some friends, ran some errands (I finally got my Mary Jane Crocs!) and when we got home they got to go in the pool. Not before I doused them with the sunscreen. Don't want anymore burnt little bodies! They smelled so good! They lasted about a half hour before they started begging me to put some hot water in the pool. Well, sorry girls you're going to have to wait for Mother Nature to warm things up...

Well, it's official!

Both my girls can ride a two wheeler! Friday we took the bikes down and Morgan took off on hers after two years of trying. We were talking to a neighbor about new windows (that's a post for another day) and Eric nudged me and when I looked up Andie was riding around the cul-de-sac all by herself!!! YIPPEE!!! Now I just have to get the pictures posted!
Ok, I guess I don't have any pictures...Bad Mommy!

This is my first post on my new blog and I don't know what to say, so I'll show you one of our Easter pictures.
