Ok

Well my laptop is broken. I am so sad about that. But we are getting it fixed. It will take a while though. I have 6 months of pictures on there though, that I don't have on my desktop. I am worried that the computer tech guy won't be able to get them. But Mark said he is pretty sure he can. That isn't good enough for me, I won't be completely happy until I see them. So I will be able to update some on my desktop computer, but not as much as I would like to. Not that I have been updating lately. But I am going to try to do more.

Our Beauty

Alyssah was really quiet. Mark went to investigate, and this is what he found. She found my makeup. And she told daddy that she was as pretty as a princess. I am thinking we need to stop telling her that she is our princess, it is getting to her head. ;)

This is right after Mark found her. She didn't realize that he was laughing at her, not mad. Not yet anyways.
Then she saw that everyone was laughing. (we were at my parents house) Then it was all good and she thought she was something else.

This picture reminds me of a really bad face lift. She is so funny!!!

She was hularious this day, I can't believe she found my makeup and tried to be so pretty. She is something else. :)

It is June

And it is cold out! Todays highs are in the mid 60's. And it is supposed to be that way for the rest of the week!! It is summer out for crying out loud! But at least it isn't snowing. That would be way worse!!

We are busy this summer. Jake is in t-ball, and swimming lessons. Josh is in swimming lessons. Plus all of Jake's games. It will be fun! But I have a whole bunch of kids this summer! I am looking forward to the money part, but not so much all the kids here. But I will handle it! I am also taking off 2 weeks in July and hopefully just enjoy my kids and bringing them places! That is my goal.

I plan on doing a bunch of picture post soon, so look out for them! :)

Jake loves to go with Dad!

Jake went with Dad to work with him. He was so excited to go! He always feels so big! He gets so serious when he gets to go, and usually gets to do some fun things! He got to go to Space Aliens with dad and his co workers. Dad said he was so good too! They got home a little bit late, but it didn't matter because Jake got to have so much fun with his dad.

Look at his big smile!
Dad and Jake all ready to go!

Goodbye!!

Boy Scout Awards (so many pics!!)

Boy Scout Races 4-26-09

Josh and Jake raced cars for Boys Scouts. They cut out there cars with dad at the high school and then Dad helped get them all ready to make into some pretty cool cars!! They were so excited to have him get them all fixed up. Josh chose black as his color and Jake chose green.

Dad getting Josh's car all ready to go!

Dad putting on the decals to Jake's car. He picked out flames that had dragons on it. And it also had the number 7. Because he is going to be 7 at his next birthday.

Dad putting the last details onto Josh's car.

The cars all done!!!

Josh and his car right before the races.

Josh and his cub scout group. He was in the bear cub group this year.

Josh getting his awards for the year.

Watching the races. Josh looks so handsome here!

All the kids watching the cars going down, every car that went, all the kids were chanting there favorite number that they wanted to win. It was cute, they all were so excited!

Josh's car was in lane 3. His did win a few times, but he didn't place.

Jake's was in lane 3 too. He hardly won, but he was so excited to be able to have a car in the races. He felt so big!

Josh's award. He won for most unique.

Jake didn't win anything, but he got a ribbon that said, I did my best. He was proud!

Our basement mess

How lovely for us when we discovered that we have another leak in our basement. We found the mess on April 24th. (we have since found the pipe, and have fixed it) But our movie room is still such a big mess, still no one has come to fix it. Hopefully in a week or so. I miss watching movies down there.

The wall was all soft and mushy. Mark poked a hole in the wall with NO effort.
The little stage got wet too, but not the whole thing.

Because we have radient heating, we have to have a special padding on the floor, and unfortunately it soaks up the water like crazy, so half of the padding was ruined. But thankfully the carpet wasn't.

The paint peeled off very easily. It was bubbling with water inside it!

Mark cut the walls and took out all the insulation. This is what needs to be fixed now. It isn't very big, but it is such a hassle!

The hole in the ceiling.

The whole mess.

Sleeping Beauty

She couldn't handle it anymore. I love it when they fall asleep and they aren't in there bed. She is so sweet!! I just love it!

Lots to write!

I hopefully will be posting a few post tomorrow! I have a bunch of picture posts that I want to do, not sure if I will get all of them up, but I will definately try!! It is late now, I need to get to bed, but in the morning, hopefully I will have some time to get some of it done. :)

The circus

We went to the circus with Nicole and Skyla. We had so much fun going there, that is once we got there. Poor Skyla gets car sick, so you guessed it, she got sick. She had to get new pants and everything. Nicole and I thought maybe it wasn't ment to be, but once we got into the circus and got out of the car, Skyla was good to go! But not Josh. He said he didn't feel good, and he didn't look good either. I was worried that he was going to be sick. So I called Mark and thankfully he was coming through Minot and said he would pick him up. So Josh sat with us for a few minutes while before we went down to meet Mark. I guess he slept all the way home, but never got sick. We think he just felt icky from the ride up. I felt bad for him this is the second time he has missed the circus because he was sick. But the rest of us had fun anyways.

Skyla, Jake and Alyssah all ready and waiting for it to start. We had decent seats, so we saw a lot of the show.
Alyssah showing off her circus toy, over priced and cheap but the smile was well worth it.

Poor Josh didn't feel good, but he liked his toy anyway.

Jake got a wand/sword and he loved it!! Of course now it doesn't work anymore, but that is a circus toy for ya!

Skyla and Jake

They were excited about the circus!

Alyssah watching the circus. She was so into it!!

Jake watching the show.

The guy waking around the wheel. Everytime he tripped, I got nervous, but then Nicole summed it all up, "It is no skin off my nose if they get hurt" Lol! I thought that was funny, and so true!! :)

The elephants, the lady on the head was so annoying! All she did was shake her shoulders. We were hoping that the elephant would have shook its head and dropped her, (I really didn't just say that) but no such luck! At least the kids like it!

LOVE this pic! Skyla and Nicole!

Me and 2 of my kids. They had fun, and that is what matters!

I have a problem

And it is shopping. I LOVE to shop, online and in stores. I especially love to buy clothes for my daughter. It is so much fun shopping for her, there are so many cute clothes for girls out there. I do like to buy clothes for my boys, but they are very hard on them, so I don't buy them to many things, plus they don't grow as fast, so I don't need to buy as much. My favorite places to shop for my kids are Gymboree, Ebay, Old Navy, The Children's Place, JCPenney, and Sears. But my absoulute favorite is Target. You can find so many deals there.

So in case you didn't know, I love to shop, and I love to dress my kids in cute clothes.
