Graduation

Happy Graduation Maisie!!! She graduated this Tuesday from kindergarten. sigh.... My baby is growing up. She was so cute, they sang cute songs and then there was a whole get your certificate and shake hands thing!!!! Brannon is gone at Annual Training so he couldn't be there so I recorded it for him so I don't have as many pictures as I would have liked. I can not manage both at the same time!!! I tried, nearly dropped my camera and gave myself heart failure! We are so proud of her she keeps telling everyone who will listen she is a first grader now!

Reno!

We went to Reno to visit Grandpa Vern and Grandma Nancy Memorial Day weekend. We had a wonderful time!!! The girls love great grandpa and grandma, and they got spoiled terribly!!! Tons of new toys, clothes and new matching dresses! And the best part lots of love!! We all went to Circus Circus to see some shows and play some games in the Midway, it was lots of fun. I haven't been since I was really little and Brannon had never been. The girls were fascinated by the contortionist and awed by the girls on bikes! We spent lots of hours talking and playing. The girls love their Dog, Libby and their cat, Catmando,(I think that's her name!) We enjoyed ourselves so much and love visiting them!! Reno is about 6.5 hours southwest from us so getting there isn't to bad! We loved our visit and can't wait to go back again!!!

I can't keep this up, and here is why....

I stink at this blogging thing, I do it out of guilt, and I think what I am writing is ridicules! Some things I have been doing lately to keep busy are... Weeding the garden, sewing for Farmers Market and online orders, dry packing hundreds and hundreds of lbs of food, working, and forever trying to get that laundry pile folded! I love my life, I love my life, I love my life!! Fun things, volunteering in Maisies Kindergarten class each week. Teaching Addie new body parts! Going to the park with the girls and getting ice cream cones from the trucks that drive around each day!

We have grass, and a garden!

So the grass is coming in!! YA!! And so are the weeds! Boo! They tell us to leave them alone and when the grass gets a little older to use a spray and kill them then.... I want to go and pull them all out now!! But that will disrupt the grass roots. blah blah. The girls can not wait until it is ok to run and play on the grass. Me too! I also put in a garden this year. It is 22ft by 18ft. and it too is full of weeds, I swear all I do is weed that thing!! We also put in 30 ft of raspberry bushes! They probably won't produce this year, but hopefully next year we will have lots of raspberries!!! It is all helping to keep me very busy!! If I don't get a stinking ton of vegetables I am going to cry!

Carnival!

Maisies school had a fun carnival that we all went to. The girls had their faces painted and they did the cake walk about a dozen times!! It was around 93 degrees outside so we were dying!!

Happy Birthday Addie!

Addie has turned two, and the spirit of naughty 2 year old has taken over!!! Wow that girl can throw a tantrum. In our house you get walked around and ignored, but it sure hurts the ears, occasionally the leg, if she tries to bite me, and it is already getting really old! But she is talking a lot and tries to repeat things all the time. She likes to whisper in your ear and loves to dance around to any music.. Definitely my daughter!!! Hot or Cold with our little Addie. I found timeout in the crib is working, she does not like to be put in there when it isn't time for bed or a nap. So threatening her with a timeout in her crib has started to help with the naughty! We'll see how long it lasts. LOL. Her Birthday was fun, we had a couple of families we do things with come over and have cake and ice cream. Addie gets the opening presents thing!! She loved it and had a great time. She keeps me very busy but I love her and wouldn't want her any other way!
