update

I haven't forgotten to do my "Summer in Snapshots" this week...Terri.  I have been taking pics, but I haven't had a chance to post them today.  I decided to watch the USA kick France's butt in the World Cup and it was worth it.  I probably won't get them up until next week for reasons I that I will tell you more about next week.  So, today I will leave you with a few things from Sydney:

She was calling Micah, Wingnut, all day...and I thought that was pretty cute...it might stick:)  

I will try to make this short:  

Sydney starts patting Micah's bottom saying, "Spank, Spank, Spank"

Me: No, we don't do that to him.

Sydney: Why do you spank me all the time?

Me: I explain why babies don't get spankings, but big kids do...blah, blah, blah...Someday when you have kids will give them spankings when they get big.

Sydney:  I have kids...my kids are in there (pointing to her bedroom).

Me: I am thinking she is referring to her dolls...so I say: Yeah, you have your babies in there...

Sydney: No, Kaywee and Bwooke are in there....they're my kids.

She is crazy.

And, I was going to post a few pictures but  I don't have any on this computer. So, if you wanna see some pictures that I took this week, you can go to Kara Richardson Photography.  These are some friends from high school...kinda...technically, I went to high school with Greg and played soccer with Andrea in high school and then college.  She is actually the reason I got to play at HSU...she took me to the coach's office and introduced me and things went from there....I didn't think it was possible, but I am glad she did!  It was lots of fun!  Their little boy is one of Sydney's friends...they are only 3 months apart.  

Ok, I will stop rambling now.  I will post again next week cause I will be having too much fun this weekend to be on the computer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Color Fuse

I came upon this fun site, Design Seeds, and I the Color Fuse palette caught my eye.  I really like it and my bedroom (now that we switched out the whole house)  is already 4 of the 5 colors so I think I should add some turquoise!!!  Whatcha think?

Check it out!

Summer in Snapshots-Week 3

HA! HA!  Bet you thought I already failed my "Summer in Snapshots"!!  I am the ultimate procrastinator so I still have 8 minutes to get it posted by the end of the day.  Here we go!

Oops...I almost forgot 7.5...

Micah is growing so stinkin' fast and he is really liking the exersaucer this week.  He has figured out how to move around in it and he is so cute to watch while he is in it.
During church tonight, I took Sydney and her best friend (according to her...I am not sure how Sophie feels about this:) to get snow cones.  They were so cute...and yes, I should probably buy Sophie a new shirt since I let them pick whatever color they wanted...oops.
6.30
Swim Day at the swim club.  The Brice fam got to go with us today. Fun!

It was just Sydney, Micah, and me so I thought I would attempt a little project.  Good news: I actually finished it.  Bad news:  I don't like it.  Ugh.

4th of July!!  Tim played in a golf scramble tournament thingy (I can't remember exactly what he called it) with the fam in Mineral Wells.  Kaylee and Brooke got to swim at Nana's.  Sydney, Micah, and me got to swim and ski with the fam at PopPop and Mammy's.  Fun day and yes, I am sore. (More here: 4th)

We just chilled at the house after the crazy weekend.  The girls played with all the new toys Brooke got for her birthday.

I joined the linky party at Starfish Blog

I have more pictures on my other camera, but my card reader isn't working right so I will try to post those later.  

Brooke's 5th Birthday

Well, I have been a little behind with all the birthday festivities this year (I am just gonna use new baby as the excuse and try to do better next year:) and we just had Brooke's official birthday party.  But let's rewind a little and I will start with her real birthday first.

She started the morning eating donuts and shopping with Mammy at Target.  She is always the sweet one and buying presents for her sisters and friends...so cute:)  Next, we had a few friends over for lunch and then decorated cupcakes.  I was so excited to find "neon" food coloring so they had pretty icing colors and fun sprinkles.  I cooked the cupcakes in ice cream cones which actually made decorating easier for the kiddos.  She ended the day eating and playing games at Mr. Gatti's (her choice...yeah...dad and mom's favorite).  It was a fun day and ....I still can't believe she is 5!!!!

My cupcake:)

Ok, on to the official birthday party with the family...
She was so excited to have a swimming party at Nana's house in Mineral Wells...she woke up asking if it
was time to leave...every 10 minutes.  It was lots of fun.  Lots of swimming, eating, and presents!

3 Not-Really-That -Important Things

I don't have much time on the computer today because my house is really really messy...like so messy I am even embarrassed for my husband to see it.  So, I just thought I would do a quick post.

#1  I honestly want to get my house clean so that I can have someone over to watch the kids so I can go see Transformers!!!!  Yeah!!!!  If you didn't already know...I am weird...I love action movies...not a fan of chick flicks. Transformers and Iron Man are my favorites and Transformers 3 came out yesterday! I got $4 movie tickets also..ha!

#2  I am also a fan of Fly Lady and I am about to do some Crisis Cleaning...yeah.


#3  If you are a fan of cute stuff or etsy, you should check out Very Jane!!

Have a great day!

Summer In Snapshots-Week 2

Yeah!!!  I got week 2 down (technically week one for me but week two for everyone else...just pretend like I already did week one..ok?).  I only cheated a couple of times as far as you know:) (took a pic the day after:) Anyway, got my first week down and it has been pretty cool!  I am really hoping I can keep up with this little project:)

6.21.11
Tim and I like to change things up a lot:)  We got the itch and decided to completely change up all the       rooms in our house....yes...we put our king size bed in the itty bitty room.  Don't judge...we had lots of good reasons and so far we really like it.  There is one major problem...Micah got sick and I couldn't put him down so we weren't able to completely finish.  Sooooo, our house is a wreck and things are not in place yet....aren't you all surprised..ha!
6.22.11
Fun with Play-Doh!!!
6.23.11
Taking it easy at home this week so Sydney and Micah can get well.
6.24.11
House is still a mess...this is now Micah's room...huge "To Do" list!!
6.25.11
Wedding shower for our sweet friend and ex-college student, Laken.  It was such a fun idea (thanks to Katie Cruddas). Everyone brought their favorite recipe and nonperishable items to give to Laken.  Fun! Check out the chef hats we made!
6.26.11
This June makes 10 years that Tim has worked at SouthSide Baptist Church...Wow!!!  I can't believe we have been there that long.  Sooo, Sunday night they had a little reception for Tim and our family.  It was such a blessing.  We received some sweet cards and gifts that were so nice!  I am so thankful that the Lord has allowed us to be at there for ten years!
Picture number 2 is a present that the girls made for our new little neighbor, Callie.  She is a little firecracker..hilarious!  They all three just love her and run to the door at every little sound they think might be her knocking.  She is four and the first thing she said to Kaylee, "Why do you still have training wheels...do you STILL like Dora....you need to tell your mom to get you a new bike!!"  All in one breath and Kaylee looked at her and then peddled over to me, "Mom, can I get a new bike?" Ha!!!
6.27.11
Changed the sheets and the girls made a huge pile of all their bedding and were falling in it.  Played some hide - n- seek and then headed to hang out with Pop Pop at the lake after supper.  Mammy was still in Seattle.  We had to drag them out of the lake even thought it was dark outside.
6.28.11
We met the Maroneys at the library for Story Time and then checked out some books.  We got to go eat lunch with Daddy after that.  They were all 4 out before we got home.

There ya have it....if you are still reading I know this may be boring for you, but honestly I am doing this for me...kinda like a little scrapbook for our family.  It just helps me to be a little more motivated since I told everyone I was going to put it on the blog:)  Thanks for understanding...ha!
