turned the AC on at 7 this morning, i hate to turn it on before 9:30,  it's not supposed to be this hot this early in the morning!

Life has been busy this last while.  New changes coming our way too.  Our names were put on the ballot for youth advisors.  Ours are the only names too.  Very exciting time, we will enjoy it, we also know it will keep us busy and we will have to find a way to slow down and take some family time.  I need my family time.  Kids will do fine, they love attention.  Bryant already has one of the youth guys picking on him so he will really get a kick out of it.  I guess Sat. night will be a break in and see how things are done.  Going chip n putt with the youth.  Sounds fun, I'll have to see if i can manage to beat Matt this time, i was within 1 stroke the last time, he wasn't very impressed!  Then afterwards practicing making funnel cakes for the fair. 

No pics this time, just an update which is very unusual for me, just ask my mom!!  I'm enjoying a rare moment where the kids are actually playing together nice, ahhhhhh!  Yesterday before nap time i left them up alittle later than usual because they were playing so nice, or so i thought, well things were pretty quiet for awhile and that can never be a good thing, so when i went to check on them they were in Brooke's room coloring with crayon.....on her doll, on her wall, on his teddy bear.  So i made her scrub and scrub and scrub to try to get it off.  Didn't come off (i tried then too).  So we threw the doll away, wasn't one she played with anyway.  They said they were being doctors.  Guess they were at least being creative.  Now i need to buy me some magic eraser for the walls.

Need to do my cleaning today and get this house in order again, looks a tornado went through the inside!  Oh wait it was just Tracy's kids!!!  I"m kidding Trac, they were very good last night!  Guess when i know kids are coming in don't bother cleaning up the toys from before because i know they will get all messed out again, so now there are more to the stack.  Sounds like a good job for the kids to do for me!

Anyway, i better get busy.  Supposed to have strong storms coming through here today, we'll see what it amounts too.  Have a good one.

Hope of the nations.  I love that song.  Need to get me a CD with it on.  First time i heard it i was standing in my kitchen listening to the radio and i had tears just running down my cheeks from the power of the message in it.  My God is mighty to save!!!!  let's live for Him today!

Spent a wonderful weekend at the cabin with Matt's family.  when you are by the lake it is even better, add a few awesome friends who you haven't seen in awhile and it's even better yet!  Was great to have Luke and Julie along, we spent Friday with just them and it a great time of catching up and playing spades!  Fun times, us girls totally creamed the guys which they weren't to proud about but that's how it goes!

Spent a day at Lake Tobias, it was so much fun and i'm convinced that i liked it as much as the kids did, Matt would laugh at me different times.

Bryant was so determined to see one of the crocs walk, so sure enough we waited and waited, and you know what?  if you wait long enough one of them will adventually move, so we saw one of them take 2 steps and lay back down again.  But he was pleased to see it move, he wanted to wait and see it move again but there were to many other cool things to see, so mom didn't have the patience to stand there all day by the crocs.

loved how on the safari tour the animals would come right up the steps of the bus, they have learned that the driver will give them corn, so cool!

the other weekend we camped out at Matt's parents for a night,  Connor found a baby bunny at home and brought it along, it was really cute

cousins, gotta love Kenzie going cross eyed!

IMG_7988

right now we have Kenzie while Dale's were in Guatemala for a week.  They come back tomorrow and i htink she is ready to see her mommy again.  We had the other kids last night and Colby was here too, well we took them to the skate park and Connor and Colby both came down of ramps and collided right into each other.  Colby got a nice gash in his eye brow, ended up going to the ER for stiches, or i guess it was glue, amazing how that stuff works.  Felt bad for him and i felt so responsible since they were at my house. 

Now it's off to the park with the kids or else my parents if  they call back and say we can come over for smores, can't think about that because it almost makes my mouth water thinking of a browned marshmallow with melted chocolate on a graham cracker with peanut butter, YUM!!

We celebrated our 6th anniversary on May 31st and i got a lovely gift from Matt and it was quit a shocker!!


Tuesday, April 28, 2009

Hi mom!!!  I'm still here!!!


Waaaaaay back in February we celebrated Bryant's 3rd birthday.  The skateboard cake I made for him.  He helped me make it by licking the beater off!  Guess you can call that helping!

Grandpa-aka his favorite person!  mom and dad came and took him to McDonald's for lunch for his birthday.

being silly with grandma's glasses

and this little girl just got done telling me that she wishes grandma was her mom. I'm afraid i took it a little to personal, i actually had to shed a tear!


I'm afraid Bryant is suffering from allergies.  His nose is running, his eyes are itchy and watering and he is constantly rubbing them, he looks very misserable, anything i can do for him?  I'd love to know if there is.

I'm discovering that I'm not spending as much time on the computer as i have in the past, which Isn't a bad thing, but when i do go on i spend my time on face book and to keep up with 2 sites is kind of hard for me anyway.  But today is a lucky day because I've carved out a little time to update my xanga site with some pics of what has been going on with us the last little while.

first off is Brooke's 4th birthday party.  Wasn't planning on having a party but she wanted to me to make a princess cake for her and it was huge so we had our families over to go ice skating and then we had her cake.  She got a few gifts and was totally delighted with everything she got.

very proud of nightie from mommy and daddy

next we have our weekend at Willow Valley.  We had so much fun.  Just Matt and I went down Friday night and then mom and dad brought the kids down on Saturday and spent the day there swimming. 


enjoying the frog slide, the place is perfect for kids!


the way he wore the goggles was hilarious, down over his ears with his ears pinched front!

eating pizza for supper in our room

mom and dad

going swimming again.  after mom and dad left the kids thought it would be fun to go swimming again.  We were already wrinkled prunes but hey why not go again so we put our very cold, wet swimming suits back on.

all done swimming....i hope!

they were very proud of their suit cases!

done swimming I said?!  nope, here we are yet again, we went on Sunday, I think my body had about as much chlorine as it could handle but it was so much fun, they were jumping off the side of the pool and going under the water and swimming under the water, i was a proud mommy!  They were doing a good job and loved it.  They liked the goggles, they'd go under the water and wave to us, Bryant sometimes forgot himself and would laugh under water and come up sputtering!

and one more pic, this is how my kids dressed themselves today!  Bryant with his shirt backwards and all!  I'm not sure how warm Brooke thinks it is...but they were having fun.

Yesterday Brooke learned how to write her name!  She doesn't know what letter comes next but she knows it starts with a B and from there i need to tell her, but she can write it!

i almost forgot, here is a pic of Brooke with her cake, she helped me decorate it.  It was actually pretty easy to make, if you go to familyfun.com there are all kind of cake ideas.  Bryant already has his all picked out!
