Update

For those of you who don't know we sold our home and closed the end of August. We purchased another house at the sheriff's sale. That however was a slow process. We are currently living with Clark's dad until we get the house cleaned, painted etc. We just closed last Friday. Well this is moving weekend for us. We should be in soon. With our new home we gained a lot more closet space, 2 additional living areas an additional bathroom and a yard to die for! We are so thankful that even though there were bumps along the way I know we will love our new home and we are very excited to start making memories there. I was sad to see our first home go but it was time. I know I'm behind on my posts but I am swamped at work and we currently do not have our home computer hooked up. Stay tuned and I'll try to get up to date soon!

We had a great time on our vacation. The boys did great on the ride there and back. We spent everyday at the beach and then at the pool. Every evening we went to dinner somewhere and then did some type of event. Those events included putt-putt, Alligator Farm, Ripley's Aquarium and The Dixie Stampede. A wonderful vacation making wonderful memories...can't wait to do it again next year!

East Liberty Fireworks 7/11/09





ASHES 7/10/09

Okay, so I tell both the boys every single time we are at the camper to stay away from this ash pile where a fire ring once sat. This day was no different other than we had the John Deere Gator for them to ride around in. I didn't see what happened but the story goes "Luke was driving and Carter got in the bed, Luke took off" causing Carter to take a major faceplant right in the ashes. I could not believe my eyes and those of you who know me and my craziness about keeping my kids clean I almost had a melt down. I didn't know where to start! He had ashes packed in his ear! Carter did not want his picture taken but I insisted so I can say "see, this is why mommy tells you NOT to do something"! Lesson learned, only time will tell!
