Summer Stuff

A couple of pictures from our trip to the zoo!

Little Fashionista

My mom, J and D sporting their Yeller Sub stickers!

Little Gamers

Cracks me up how they were all playing some kind of handheld gaming device at the same time! Guess J prefers to be comfy:)

Confession Time

Lately I've been so connected that I have no connection...with my kids, that is. Some days I wonder how in the world I ever made it without a cell phone?! And if I ever forget it at home well, I might as well have left my right arm there too!
I can't say I have too many addictions...habits, yes but not addictions. I'm beginning to think this very phone that I'm on right now is an addiction. I can't count the times I've heard my kids say, "mom, when are you going to get off the phone?" or how many times I've said, "not now, I'm busy" or "just a minute"...30 minutes later.
I need to be spending more time with
my kids, doing things that matter, being a Godly example not only in the way that I act but how I use my time. So, if you don't get a text from me or see me on Facebook as often, you'll know that I'm reconnecting with some pretty fabulous kids:)

Summer Is In Full Swing

Yesterday it rained like crazy for almost an hour...maybe not "crazy" compared to some places, but for NM it was crazy! The kids loved it!! So much so that J refused to take a nap. That was one battle I wasn't going to try to win. Plus, it's always so cute to watch them playing in the rain:)

No big plans for the summer...a couple of weeks of VBS here and there and some swimming for sure. The zoo and aquarium are always a favorite since we have a membership. And we stocked up on arts and crafts stuff at Hobby Lobby.

Not too much progress on the bathroom yet. Someone is coming out on Friday to give us an estimate on the shower surround. Wouldn't you know, the drain isn't centered so that kind of throws a wrench in our plans...since we don't really know much about moving plumbing. Slowly but surely!
