Boy am I tired! We got home late this evening from a quick (2 nights) getaway with grandma. Just wanted to let you know I am alive and that I am gonna try to get caught up tomorrow. Who am I kidding? It might take longer than a day..lol. I need to upload and edit my photos all 675 of them. Yeah I took that many in 3 days:) But here is a sneak peek. I also took a few pics for some more cuties.But if you wanna look at them you have to click here.

Another year younger!

Another one of my closest girls is celebrating a birthday today!!! So I would like to take this time to wish Tracy a very Happy Birthday!!! I think she is just hilarious! She is an awesome mom to spunky twin boys,a wonderful wife, great friend and she can give you a workout that will make you sick(remember I mentioned it here).

I would say head over to Tracy's blog to leave her some birthday wishes but she doesn't have a blog {gasp}! Tracy I hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday!!!

Weekend catch up

It seems like every weekend our days are completely filled up. But that's the way we like it. It doesn't seem like summer is almost over but sadly it is. We start school in 2 weeks. So we are going to enjoy all these jammed packed days:)

Saturday Zoe was invited to her friend's birthday party at the skating rink. And since Corey was working the boys went along with us. They all love skating and cake so it was a great time.

Sunday night at church the group Lordsong performed a great concert. Then we all went to the Harrison's to celebrate Tracy and Summer L birthdays! The kids got to swim and eat cookie cake! They were pretty excited that they had cake twice over the weekend.

Monday is our pool day but we decided to do something different today. We headed to Barnet park and let them play in the fountains. Zoe brought a long her tea set for the girls to play with.Well the boys took that over really quick..lol. I think by the end the boys were saying they would like to have a Batman tea set. Um wonder if they have those?

After an eventful time getting signs for the upcoming consignment sale, we all headed to my house. Next thing we know all the girls start parading through the living room with Zoe's clothes on. They were all playing dress up and looked oh so cute!

I got such great response from doing this little cuties pictures.That I decided to start another blog just for my pictures:) If you would like to look you can click here.

Fab Friday

We started our Friday off by taking pictures of this cutie as we strolled through the gardens. The other kids explored the woods and ponds looking for little critters.

After we had lunch we headed to Stone Ledge Park in Duncan we we met up with some more friends.

Zoe took this picture of B,I think she did pretty good!

The kids found a huge caterpillar. It looked just like the one on A Bug's Life.

Another photo by Zoe..I think she might take up photography when she's older..lol.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday Summer L,
Happy Birthday to you!!!

One of my very close friends is celebrating her birthday today!! I am so thankful to have her as a friend! She is a great mom,wife and friend.Of course she's the youngin of the group.We are always kidding her(because I wish looked that young) about how young she looks. I wish I could get a student discount without even asking...lol.So go and leave her some birthday wishes at A Window Into Our World .

Wordless Wednesday- There must have been a sale on orange!

Lovin the Lake

Some of our great friends invited us to go with them to the lake. Of course we didn't say no! This was the first time Zoe had been on a boat and the boys hadn't been on one in years.

Corey was our driver to start with and he did a great job. All of the kids (except 2) wanted to stay out of the sun.

Baby Addie was very tired

Oh yes this is the life!

Can you get pink eye from fish poo? Zoe started the trip with 2 normal looking eyes. By the end of the day we came to the conclusion that she has pink eye. So we will heading to the Dr in the morning.

All of the daddies pushing their girls!
