Summertime!

This is what we have been doing.
Trying to keep the kiddos from the summertime boredom.
Enjoying the pool in between running, homework, housework, and everything in between.
Finally got the boat out.
Good times.
Really really good times.
(except when we load and unload the boat which totally freaks me out because I can only picture our Endeavor being pulled into the lake by our boat.)

Don't look directly at the icky hat....he can't help his sickness! LOL.
My favorite picture of the summer so far........a boy and his daddy on the boat. Summertime happiness.

And lastly, in the last few weeks I have gotten to know my cousin again. She is younger than me and I kind of seperated from that side of the family for a bit so we grew apart. But let me tell you...she has been exactly what my soul was needing. Must brag a bit and say my cousin ROCKS OUT LOUD! Thanks girlie!

Off to wash the car with Bai and Mase.
Sound like fun?
Maybe.....
Hugs and happies.

Week in Review (last week)

1. I am really behind. In everything. My life is chaos right now. And I have no one to blame be me and possibly food poisoning (see below) that threw my whole week out of whack.

2. This is what the bathroom looked like at the beginning of the week. Good times here. I have an entirely new outlook on being grateful for my one bathroom (which I complain about having only one bathroom instead of being thankful for that one bathroom!). There is something odd about brushing your teeth at the kitchen sink all the time or putting on your makeup in the dining room deco mirror. 3. Found this picture of Shawn's bleeding hearts on the baby cannon taken by Mason. Thought it was pretty dang creative. I liked the perspective.

4. Had a bad case of food poisoning on Monday. This is totally self diagnosing. I was in class and started not feeling good. So much so that I left class. By the time I got home it was over for me. I won't go into the gory detail....but let me say.....I don't ever want to be that sick again. However, I did lose 3.7 pounds in 2 days (isn't that a silver lining in the cloud of life?).

5. Another picture found on the camera. Little boy toes. Mason makes me totally LAUGH OUT LOUD! Oh but speaking of cameras...I am having issues with my big Cannon. Something with the battery. Cannon wants me to send it in but I am a bit hesitant. Grrrr. Anyone ever had problems? I wish it was something simple....sigh.

6. Had a nice 4th of July. Something was off this year but not sure what. The weather was beautiful. Mason was picked and made it to the semi finals for Kids Fear Factor. He lost to a 14 year old and was devastated for about 2 hours. Bai "hung out" with her friends. I felt stretched thin this year and I am not sure why. Maybe it is the summer school stuff and the bathroom junk and sickness....who knows?!

7. Getting to know some cousins who I haven't spoke with in YEARS. That is nice finding those connections. Maybe I do have some thin little straggly roots after all ;O)

8. Leaving ya with this sideways picture. Loves and hugs. m
