Is It Summer Vacation Yet???

Is it summer vacation yet??? We are so close....

Unfortuantly, these are just pics from our Florida trip 2 years ago....

I am dying to go.....but I will probaby have to settle for just that, dying to go..... It looks like vacation....

We are super busy around here, but we are almost to the point of a little relaxation....

Stacy, Jennifer, it's not to late, we can still go..... I know Stacy, I know what your saying in my head... :( But I am still dreaming of us all going.....meeting up at "Jenn's" house at the beach as Coop would say!!!

Hope everyone has a great last week of school!!!

Baseball, Softball, & Swimming...

     Where have we been??? Well we have been doing some of this.....

Madi Bell is playing softball for the first time, they are the Cheetah's, and she loves it! And little Coop is playing his first year of tee ball, and he loves it too!! And I love it too.... :)

And we have been spending a lot of time outside doing this..... Notice the scrape on his eye, scooter wreck! :( Scooters don't go over water hoses very good!!!

And this....it's amazing what you can give them to entertain them....Ha!!

Here is Ella...she will not stay inside if we are outside, but poor thing gets so hot!! She did take a dip in the pool though!

And even before church, we are thinking about this.....I think it's going to be a hot one this year too.....

That is how we have been spending our days lately, well school is still in, but not for long!!! I am busy right now too, I am working on some stuff for church and working on a master bedroom for someone. Hopefully I will get back soon to post some of the other things we have been up too... There is part of me that wants to sit and rest, but who has time for that with 3 kids!!!

LoVe My LiFe!!!

We had a wonderful day, even though it was a little chilly, but what do you expect, it's Easter!!!

We went to church, Easter Egg hunt, lunch at my mom's, Easter egg hunt, another Easter egg hunt at Aunt Sheila's and dinner!! We were busy all day, but we enjoyed celebrating that "Jesus Is Alive"!!!

Happy Easter Everyone!!!

~35~

    Back in March I turned 35! I had a wonderful birthday celebrated with family and friends. My parents took me to Olive Garden for dinner, my friends took me to lunch at La Fiesta, and my mother-in-law made me dinner, lots of eating going on!!!

This is what I wanted, Red Velvet cupcakes from Simply Sweets...I got them twice!!! :)

Me with my cupcake @ 35!!! :))

Madi Bell and I , she got me nail polish that she picked out herself and made me a special card!!  Love her!!!

I had a great day thanks to all my family and friends!!!

Spring Has Sprung

    I have been patiently waiting for Spring to arrive here and it finally has!!!! Yeah!!!! Makes me super happy! I thought I would share some of my findings around the house lately....

My new garden flag I picked up at Kirkland's, love it!!!

I found these little beauties at TJ Maxx yesterday, and to my surprise, they are real!!! Not fake, real, have to be misted with water! But I still love them!! :)

The green balls and glass hurricane is some other new finds lately, the hurricane came from TJ Maxx a couple of weeks ago, and the moss balls were from where else, but A to Z!!!

And, I have purchased new ferns and planted them, sad, they look so small right now, but I know they will get bigger over time!!

Same wreath, but I found the toparies at Wal Mart back around Christmas time and love them!!! It was one of them purchases I wasn't going to use at the time, but now I am so glad I bought them!!!

Then I picked up this little flag, that was to cute at Lowe's, I am thinking it will go out by the pool somewhere... :)

And last, I found hot pink tassels to tie around my lamps and I love them too!! The picture doesn't do them justice!!!

I am enjoying sprucing up around here for spring and summer!!!!

Happy Spring Decorating!!!!!

:))))

Spring Break 2012

  Well Spring Break came and went this year, but we did manage to have some fun around here, even though it rained and rained and rained!!!! We picked the kids up from school and went straight to Branson. We did a little shopping, eating, Silver Dollar City, eating, shopping, and we stayed at a new place to us called Castle Rock!!! Here are some pics from Silver Dollar City and CastleRock....

We came home Sunday and were wore out, but we had a great time and can't wait to go back!!! For the rest of the week, it rained most of the week...but we did manage to get some more fun in. We went to see the Lorax on Monday with some friends, Tuesday we met friends to eat at Pizza Warehouse, Thursday was grandparents day, they spent it with them, which is always fun!!! Then Friday they all had sleepover's, which called for date night!!! Then we were busy with stuff all weekend, and then boom it was over!!! :( We are ready for summer here at our house!!!

I will try to post some pics of stuff I have been doing around the house later today, if I am lucky....trying to spruce things back up for Spring!!! But if you drive by my house, yes my grass is dead, the whole yard is dead....my husband put round up on the whole thing!!! Our yard sticks out coming down the street!!! BUT, it may work to my advantage, I have been asking for sod for 3 years now...so we will see..... :)

Have a Great Day!!!! It's Sunny and 84!!!

Upward Cheer

      Madi Bell got to be an Upward cheerleader this year for the first time and she LOVED it!!! She loves everything cheer! I wish I could give her a few pointers, but I was never a cheerleader, tried drill team one year and liked it, but my anxiety got the best of me.... :(  She finished up her season Saturday and she did great! We will definetly be doing it next year too I am sure! Here are a few pics from the season.
