Oh My Goodness

Andrea surprised Mommy today. She says she has the chicken pox. Hopefully her chicken pox will wash off before we have to go bye-bye. Love you Andrea.

Summer Fun

My kids are having fun so far this summer. They swim every chance they get, even if the water is cold. It is nice to have days that are carefree with nothing scheduled. Just to have fun. Hope you are having a fun summer too. Blessings.

I am excited to be entered to win a mini vacation at Things Moms Like! Since about age 3, my oldest son, Bobby, now 15, has dreamed of going to Legoland.

Happy 4th of July with Sweethearts

My first review! ... Red, White & You Sweethearts ...

Sweethearts has unveiled a new line of their "language of love" Conversation Hearts! What a unique and heartfelt way to say thank you to the American Troops, Veterans, and celebrate America's patriotism with sentiments like "Proud of you", "Home Safe", and "Miss You".

I love Sweethearts throughout the year because they have the very words that are written in our hearts and they are a sweet message of our love.

We made these adorable cupcakes, decorated by my children so pretty using the Red, White & You Sweethearts. Happy 4th of July! Hope you have good friends, good food, and good fireworks!! Blessings!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Grandma & Grandpa visited us from Indiana

Grandma and Grandpa visited us from Indiana. They were here for about a week. Andrea was Grandma's constant companion staying right by her side. Grandma put rollers in Andrea's hair. Grandpa mowed our yard a few times while he was here and weeded our gardens and more. Our yard has never looked this good. We had such a nice visit. We cooked out and Grandma and Grandpa swam in our pool with the kids. Always so sad for me when they leave. We miss you already Grandma and Grandpa!!

Andrea got some play high heels

Andrea got some play highheels with money from her birthday and a new Hello Kitty romper. She loves to be dainty and be a little lady. Love you Andrea!
