summer

So, I have been having a blast this summer, first, husband said yes. We got a pool:





Then Jer and Ange got married, it made my heart happy.



Then Colin had a birthday, Alyce will not win any contests with that cake, but it was a fun memory.





We had a star spangled 4th.




Rick and Traci got married, I cried.



Mick went to YouthCamp and drove in the woods with Mike Morris, I do not know what might be happening in this picture, but it makes my heart smile.





Cousins picture from YouthCamp. Love that Jamie and Ange made the picture key!!





As a nice surprise Colin's sister Meredith stopped by while on a day out with her friends.




I really want to be a person that posts more often, but we will see.

Nobody probably ever reads this thing anyway!!!

Lunch sightings

One legged lady in jean skirt on crutches, walking into Trader Joe's.

lion lady walking with weights in LaFrance parking lot.

Ange and I had a lot of laughs.

sorry so long

So I am so sorry that it took so long for me to post. I really wanted to be one of those people that started a blog and really did write things I am going to try and be better at posting.

I was just reading this blog about simple life and she had a little questionnaire that you can fill out every now and then so this at least might get me going for a bit. You will probably be bored to tears but I thought it might be an interesting exercise.

FOR TODAY (April 7)

Outside My Window - it is dark.

I am thinking that i really need to switch the laundry

I am thankful for my husband who loves me with all his heart, and lives that out.

From the kitchen Colin is making cheese quesidillas

I am creating some really fun quilts for friends

I am going to bed real soon.

I am reading the Pillars of God (I think that is the name), even though I am over 200 pages into it. I still do not know if I am going to read it.

I am hoping that is get to be spring real soon, weather wise, today was just ugly.

I am hearing the movie Signs.

Around the house things are very messy, I really hate construction.

One of my favorite things is hanging out with Mick and Colin watching a movie, it always amazes me. I am in awe of God when I see what good friends my son and husband are.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: I am hoping to have a fun girls movie night, get my hair done and finish a project.

hey

So i know that i have not posted in a long time, but i have a sick note from my doctor. I was very ill last week and at one point i felt like i could not walk because my knees ached so much. I feel better now and i am sipping down the cough medicine with codeine, that stuff is sweet.

Mick and I are having a relaxing night watching the boys on idol and Simon just called the dude Chikezie jacuzzi that was funny.

poem

we are on our way to chik fil a

that was a little poem I made up today.

happy valentines day!!!

wow that rhyme just went on and on.

Mario Bros

okay, so I have always love Nintendo systems. Noelle Huey told me that you can download the original games with the Wii, and I have a very handsome husband with a credit card.



So first I played this:




It was a lot of fun, I even remembered all tricks and secret places to jump to the next levels, I did not dominate the land but will soon.


Then I played this:




I forgot that when you have full life that your sword will shoot. You go to a new screen and just stand there and shoot your powerful sword to kill all those things whose names I do not know.

Know why Colin likes computer games so much? He would sit in the playpen and watch me play Zelda and be in a trance while watching all the action. I guess I ruined him.

Between loads laundry I had a very fun couple of hours.
