HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Happy Father's Day to all the men in my family!! We love you sooooo much!

I love you Dad!  I am the luckiest daughter in the world to have such a wonderful and supportive Father. 

To my Father-in-Law!

To my Bro-in-law!!  I love this picture of him and his kiddos.

MY HUBBY!  You are such a wonderful Father!

Here is the poem with handprints that Keeley made for her Daddy.  She couldn't wait to give it to him.

I think Daddy really liked it!!

We also got Daddy an armband for his iphone which Keeley is hiding behind her back.  We gave it to him a day early because we knew he would want to use it when he mowed the lawn.  Unfortuantely, that was the last time we say this poor little armband device.  Keeley was playing with it and after searching high and low, it is nowhere to be found. 

At least we didn't lose his new Thunder shirt:)

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!

Busy Weekend

Last weekend was a crazy busy weekend! Yasmine had a birthday/slumber party to attend on Friday night...and another birthday/slumber party to attend on Saturday night...AND another birthday/skate party to go to on Sunday!  Needless to say, Yasmine was in heaven.  While their sister was partying the weekend away, Mikayla and Keeley were busy catching bugs with their new bug kits.  My Mom and Dad were also down for the weekend as well so we had fun with Grandma and Papa too!

(Nice wind blown hair Mikayla!!)

cooking week

Keeley's daycare has a theme for every week during their summer session.  This week is Crazy Cooking week!  Below is her funky chef hat she made at daycare today.  I sure hope she doesn't end up getting my cooking skills when she grows up.

***Update from last post***

OK, I am done with this little project for now! Here are some updated pictures:

Tired, Sore and Sunburned

I decided to work on the landscaping in front of the house and start from scratch.  About halfway through, I was ready to heave the rake and shovel down a river, but I was too far into the project, so I had to finish it.

The hardest part was digging out all the old mulch and plants and hauling it away. I had planned on taking "Before, During and After" shots, but I didn't remember the camera until I was in the "during" stage.

In the midst of planning out the project and deciding where the plants should go.

Laying down the black carpet, as I like to call it, to keep the nasty weeds away.

This is "almost done".  I still want to find some more colorful flowers to spice it up a little. 

My little workers, children.

It was too rough for them, so they decided to lay in the back of the truck and chill.

Summer is here!

Yesterday was the last day of childcare/school before they start their summer session.  They set up a mini-carnival for the kids yesterday morning with a moon bounce and lots of fun activites.  Keeley indulged in a sno-kone, cotton candy and popcorn. All before 10AM. Does that make me a bad Mom?  If you said yes, Keeley would beg to differ!  They had all sorts of fun activites and ended the morning with a nice picnic lunch for all the kiddos and parents.  Below are some pictures from our fun morning.

Jumping in the moon bounce!

Stop looking at me Swan! (or Pink Flamingo)

Sno-Kones + Keeley = True Love

This is Keeley and her good friend Izzy.  These two followed each other around all morning. 

HAPPY SUMMER!

Wacky Weather

About a week and a half ago, we had a tornado come through our neck of the woods.  Luckily, we didn't have any major damage except that it took our fence and sent it flying through the air. We also had some minor roof damage.  Unfortunately, just right across the highway from where we live, it did some significant damage as you will see in the pictures below. 

This side of the fence actually got the good end of the deal and had the least amount of damage!

This side of the fence was taken out.  Part of the fence is laying on the ground...

...and the other part ended up here. Across the street.

Awww, can you see our poor BBQ grill in the empty lot?  If you read my last post, you will remember we had some birds living in that grill.  Sad. Sad. Situation.

I took this picture coming out of our addition.  The other side of the highway got hit pretty hard.
