Park fun!

The kids & I went to the park after school on Monday. We had a blast! I like to take the kids to the park in Spring. After the hot weather settles in, it sucks. LOL! I did manage to get some cute pics. Bentlee goes nuts for the slides! I have never heard a little girl giggle & squeal so much. My two do great with her too. They will make good babysitters. :) I love how the kids get 'static' hair when coming down the slide. It's such a crack up! LOL! I will be having lots of park pics over the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned! :P

A Couple of Dorks!

Dinner & a movie. That's what I did Friday night! I had a blast! Addie & I went to Red Robin for chicken salads, and then headed off to see 'Baby Mama'. We laughed all night! We have both decided that we are going to make this a regular thing. No one laughs at my jokes like Addie! I swear my stomach muscles hurt by the time I get home! While we were at the movies, Addie spotted a photo booth. Of course we had to try it! People probably thought we were ridiculous from all the hysterical giggles! :D Here is the end result.....no laughing!! LOL!!

~New Internet & More~

Hello! I got hooked up to my new internet today! Woo! I had DSL, and I switched to a cable modem. Boy is it faster! LOL! We are shutting off our phone, and it was cheaper to go with Charter for the hookup. I am glad I did though. Why on earth is DSL 3 times more expensive when it is 3 times slower?? Makes no sense to me! LOL! I like that my new modem is wireless too. Now I can go anywhere in the house. I usually don't, but at least I have the option. :)

The sun is coming out, which makes me smile again. Bring on the hot! We need to seriously get busy on our pool. It's soooo disgusting right now. Yuck! Ashley asked me this morning if I thought there were fish in there. LOL! You know its bad when it looks like a pond! The kiddos have so much fun swimming, I can't wait. I really think that was the best money I have spent in a long time. They really love it, and think of all that exercise they get! I am pretty excited that Bentlee will be old enough to play this year. We need to start picking out her little suit! Awww!

Before I post my pics for today, I just wanted to say something. My family & I have been really blessed by the lord, and I just wanted to publicly be grateful for that. I feel it's important to let the world know about how God is there for you. When you are given blessings, it's important to share those. I want to thank God for both of my beautiful children who are both miracles in their own way. I have a body that wasn't meant to have children, and God saw to it that I had 2 healthy kids. I want to thank God that Ted & I both have great jobs in this time of recession. I want to thank God that I have an amazing marriage to an amazing man. Ask anyone who knew us 12-13 years ago....we may not have made it if not for him. I could go on and on, but basically I just want to thank God for loving me through good times & bad. I pray that each and every one of you reading this is blessed with a relationship with him. If not, then I pray that you will very soon. :)

On to the pics for all the Grandmas & Aunts & Uncles & Cousins & so on! LOL!! This pictures aren't new ones. When I was looking through all my old picture folders, I came across some good ones! Here is one of each of us that just made me smile. :D

Here is one of Ash that makes me smile so hard my face hurts:


This one is classic Dylan...always the clown in the room! (worm sticker for booger) LOL!!!


This is a self portrait of Ted & I. I love his concentrated look, while I am smiling like a big goober waiting. LOL!

~All Done!~

Yay! I am done! :D If you see some funkiness going on...don't worry, it's probably just me. LOL! I am making a few layouts so that I have them done for later. I have a tendency to want to change it up every week, and this way its always my own creation. No downloaded layouts for me! Thanks for your patience. :)
