June Update

So I haven't been real good with the blog this summer. We have been so busy running and doing so much with the kids I haven't had time to get much else done! The mornings I would get up early to do my blog I am now running! So, running has taken place of my blog posts and my Iphone has taken over my picture taking since I have it with me all the time!
Well, June brought us lots of Baseball games for Isaiah (which I am glad to have that done with), we also had story time at the library every Tuesday which was fun for Bella and Ellie. Zack and Isaiah had cub scout day camp, Zack had 10 days in CO with the boy scouts. and that ends our big activites for the month of June!

Busy Summer so far!!

So I couldnt wait for summer to get here so things would slow down, well that isn't the case!!! We have had 2-3 ball games a week, one week filled with 2 VBS's (with ballgames still too), then a week of Cub Scout day camp for the boys, and Friday we had to have Zack down at the church at 4:15 am for him to leave for his 10 day Boy Scout camping trip to CO! Wow!! Life has been sooo crazy. I did hear from Zack last night right before he got to the camp and they lost reception and he was having a good time and couldn't wait to get working on stuff at the ranch! I hope he takes lots of pictures (he took his own camera). Now tomorrow starts another crazy week with 3 ball games in a row, story time at the library, Date night with the hubby, coupon shopping with a friend on Thursday, and well.....as of now nothing on Friday. Sorry for the no pics but this is my live right now crazy crazy busy!!!!

Princess Day out!

So, the pictures didn't upload in the right order, but I am too tired to really work on that right now! (at least I am getting it up right after the event!!)

Here is where the girls got their hair all done up in some kind of updo. Bella with one of her friends from Church. standing by the castle backdrop


Here you can see a side view of the snack and storytime area and the castle backdrop

This is the first thing the girls saw when they came in. We had such a fun time getting the girls all pretty and I think they all had a good time too! Surveys will be going out to all that joined us today so we can see what they would like to see next year.

This is MacKenzie, she has such pretty long hair. The hair stylist LOVED working with it, they hope she comes next year with even longer hair!!!

Next year I would like to have more decorations, and already have some more ideas for the goodie bags! Hopefully we can get more girls to come next year. (I didn't know that I had this planned on LCHS graduation!! oops!!) Overall, it was a success!!!

Another busy week of May!

So, the 14th was my birthday and I had the rt. 66 garage sale going on that day (only in the morning since it was raining!) then we had to head over to Nicole's (Ethan's Wife) grad party at Katies house, she is done with College!! Once Mike got off work we went to Bloomington and went shopping at Kohls! I can't believe how big my Zack is getting. He will be in 7th grade next year. He needed new shoes and some "hip" clothes for summer. Ok he has surpassed even Mike in the shoe catagory, we had to get him an 11 1/2 mens!!! CRAZY!!!!!! He really likes his new stuff :) Mike also sent me flowers which are sooooo pretty. Then today we went to Outback for a birthday lunch (soooo, yummy!!) One of my friends just had a baby so I went to her baby shower when we got back in town. Now I am chilln' with the family getting ready to make some bows for my BIG show this weekend!! Over all I had a GREAT weekend!!! Sorry no pics yet but I am working on it!! :)

May is so busy!!

So, I have taken pictures but they are all on my iPhone so I need to send them to my computer still.

We have been busy with all the end of the year stuff for school, and scouts! I had a Girl Scout field trip to the Discovery Museum in Bloomington where my girls earned the science explorer patch and it was well worth the money spent!! the girls had a blast. Last night was the band concert at school for both Zack and Moriah. The 2nd and 3rd graders learn to play recorders to get them started in knowing what playing is all about. We have been to one graduation party and have one more this weekend. Also, it is the Rt 66 garage sale this weekend too. (along with my Birthday and a baby shower) And Isaiah started baseball last week too. Wow and that isn't all that only gets my thru the first of the month.

Only 2 1/2 weeks of school left, school musical, and field trips yet for all the kids, not to forget that I have a HUGE Babyations Princess day out event that will be on the 21st!!! I am so excited about it! I can only do makeovers for 30 girls and already have 20!! I can't wait to get it all set up and have the girls come. i think the parents will walk away very happy with the money they spent, it will be so worth the money!!!

I will try to get to the pictures later today, after cleaning the church nursery, and pricing garage sale stuff!! (yeah did I mention that May is a crazy month!!! hahaha)
