~Happy Father's Day~

Happy Father's Day to all our Dad's out there!!
Here is the girls giving there Daddy his gifts. They decorated Popsicle sticks for him and Aundrea made a book back in school called What Daddies do best! The picture is hazy because I had just brought the camera out and it is so hot and humid here that it fogged up. As soon as you walk outside you are dripping wet.
I bought Kevin a blower vac combo. We don't have many leaves at this time but he can use to blow the grass off the drive way till fall. We get tons of leaves.

Yes it is Father's day but my hubby does not know what it means to rest. He is such a hard worker. It's one of the things I love about him. He had to rehang this thing that holds our garden tools and such. It fell off so he fixed it. He is now, as I type this, hanging shelves over our 3rd garage door to store more junk that we don't use all the time. I will have to post picks later when he is all done.

While Kevin is hard at work. The girls are enjoying the pool.






Well I hope everyone is enjoying there Father's Day. I'm going to go put my feet in the pool before the girls pour it all out. They are on a mission to get the whole drive way wet.
Have a great day and stay cool!!
Be sure to see the post below of Aundrea and her cast. Two post in one day. Woo Hoo!!

~Summer Break~Literally~

Here she is. My little beauty!! She takes such good pictures!!
Okay, she broke her arm last Sunday. Sorry it has taken so long to post picture of her and her cast but her Daddy was out of town last week and had the camera with him.
This is where it happened. She and Cassie made a pillow pit to fall back into off the couch. ( this is a recreation, as any good mom would do I took her to the doc. before taking pictures) Aundrea fell back into the pillows but her arm hit the floor.

Here are the munchkins in the there pillow pit. Aundrea did great at the urgent care center. The ladies there were so good with her. She acted like she was having fun. The next day we went to the pediatric orthopedic for them to determine if she needed a cast. Well you know what happened. She broke both the ulna and the radius at the wrist. She could move her wrist but it did not hurt to bad. She has been a trooper this past week. She has not let the cast slow her down. She has really enjoyed having her friends sign her cast. She has 3 more weeks to wear it and then we will go back to the doc. to see how she is doing.
I'm so proud of the way she acted through out the whole ordeal.

~Cassie's First Hair Cut and a Makeover for Aundrea~

I finally took Cassie to get her hair cut. Her hair has needed to be cut for a long time but I just could not bring myself to do it. It would mean that she is growing up and not a baby anymore. Also, her hair was and still is long enough to do pig tails, which she loves. She ask me every morning to put them in.
She looks so serious in these two pics but she loved her hair cut. She acted like a big girl and like she had been doing this for along time.





The hair stylist put pig tails in since she loves them.

Get ready for this one. Aundrea got her hair cut too. Her hair style was all her idea and I let her go for it. I love how brave she is to try a new style. I wish I could be so brave. I have often thought about getting my hair cut short, but to scared.

Yes, that short!! I was so surprised when she said she wanted it that way. Every bath time was not that fun to comb out the tangles. I was always telling her I was going to get her hair cut short and she did not like that idea.

She loves her hair cut!! And so do the rest of us. She just looks so cute!!!
This picture was taken at our friends house in Texas. I'm so sorry for not blogging lately but right after the last post we went to TX to visit friends for spring break. I just did not want to say that on my blog. My charger for my computer has been going bad and while we were in TX it died, therefore my computer died. So we had to order another and I had to be without a computer. OH, NO! What was I going to do? While it was kinda nice to be without it. I was doing so good about updating the blog before I left so I hated missing posting. So now I have a new charger and I'm up and running. I have lots of post to share with you all. Family and crafty stuff.
Thanks for hanging in there with me. I hope you will come back.
Have a great day, evening or weekend. We are going be get snow tomorrow (Saturday). Pray for my plants. Later.

~Signs of Spring and a Fairy House~

Spring is just around the corner and here is proof. Aundrea came running in the house yesterday and yelled for me to come outside that :"It is a miracle!" This is what she wanted to show me. I just love spring flowers. I don't know about you but I'm sooo ready for warmer weather.

I then spent a few moments outside with Aundrea while she worked on her fairy house. My Mom gave her a book about a little girl that builds fairy houses outside with things from nature. {i can't remember the name of the book right now}
She looked so cute as she worked so hard on her house.






A completed fairy house. Did you think you would ever see one of those? Isn't it just darling. I love it when she uses her imagination.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day. Check back soon. More post to come.

~Hubby's Birthday~

Last Friday we celebrated Kevin's birthday. Here is the card I made for him. I have so much trouble making male cards. I don't have any masculine stamp sets so this is what I came up with. I'm not sure how much I like it but I had fun making it and hubby liked it.
We invited some friends over and had root beer floats instead of cake and ice cream. Yummy!!!
Then we spent the evening playing cards.


Hubby enjoying his float!!
Isn't he just the cutest!! I just love this man.
He has brought so much adventure and happiness to my life. From camping, shooting guns, traveling, riding motorcycles to the birth of our girls. I never thought I would enjoy any of it but I do and I'm so thankful he has shared it all with me. I have been so blessed to have in my life. He is the best friend, handy man, Daddy, and Husband a girl could ever ask for.
Love ya!!

Thanks for all the blog lovin! Stay tuned. Several gals have asked about my stampin space. I will be posting pics soon. I'm so excited to show you.
Thanks for checking in!! Have a great day!!

~Quilt Card~

Hey all!! I wanted to share with you a card I made for Angie's birthday, my stampin' up demonstrator. I love this card!! I have quilted in the past but know I just don't have the time anymore to do such a big project. So when I saw this card I knew I had to make one. I can handle this kind of quilt. I found the card on Di's blog. It was so quick and easy. It took me longer to lay out the "quilt" than put it together. I really enjoyed making it. I can't wait to make more.
So sorry for not blogging lately. I have so much to share with you. Thanks for stopping by and hope you come back. Have a great day!!
