Happy 60th Birthday Dad!

I can't believe it, my Dad turned 60 on Saturday.  That just doesn't seem possible.  Saying that my parents were in their 50's just wasn't as hard.  It just seems so unreal.  We had a cookout and cupcakes and made a fuss over him.  We had a really good afternoon. 


I love my Dad to pieces.  He's always been very encouraging and has always been there whenever I've needed anything at all.  He's a great grandpa, too.  After lunch, we had a rousing game of baseball (see the painted bases on the ground).  This was after the basketball shooting contest.

Happy Birthday Pa!!  We love you!

Just Being Kids

Boys just have to be better husbands and dads if they have little sisters.  I came downstairs last night and found this going on...

I would say a boy that knows how to apply just the right amount of lip gloss (and not to himself) to his little sister is going to be a good guy.  Look at the concentration, he wants to get it just right.  Anyway, just thought it was cute!!  I do love when they play nice.

To be a kid again..

Yesterday was such a beautiful day.  The kids played outside all afternoon and it was nice. I just sat and watched them.  This was the scene for over two hours (can you imagine riding a bike nonstop for 2 hours?  Ouch).  It's finally paying off having two children 20 months apart.  They really like to play together, usually with a few disagreements, but yesterday they were angels.  It was a wonderful day!! 

Okay, I did get run over by a training wheel, but I got lots of kisses for it, so it all works out!


Takes so little to make them happy sometimes!

Hope you are having a great summer!

Fab 5 Friday Obsessions

Okay, I'm going to try this.  This is my first obsession lately to get my water in.  I love the propel water.  I usually buy the small packets and take them with me to work.  I take one water bottle, add a packet and then reuse the bottle with a new packet later on.  I like to get my water in, but I'm not a fan of plain water.



My second obession is matching jewerly.  I love to have a piece of jewelry that matches my clothes.  I mostly buy the jewelry that catches my eye and then coordinate an outfit to go with it.  Sometime I do buy a new top and think of the jewelry I have to match.  It's just my obsession.  You gotta have something.

My third obsession is self tanner.  I love to have color, but just don't care for laying out in the sun or going to tanning beds.  I've saw the effects of too many hours of sun damage and the wrinkles it causes and that just motivated me to find an alternative.  

My fourth obsession is e-mail.  While I'm at work, I check it every few minutes.  I have a company cell phone and I even check it on my lunch hour.  I would much rather e-mail or text than talk on the phone.  I know that is so bad.  I know you can't e-mail or text everyone, but it would be nice. 

My fifth obsession is having my pantry and refridgerator stocked.  I feel at peace with the world if I open the pantry doors or refrigerator and there is variety of things.  If I run out of something, I feel like I'm not doing my job properly.  I'm good about writing shopping lists, but then I never get them back out when I get to the grocery.  So, sometimes things are forgotten.  I should really have an obsession about planning meals and only buying the ingredients I need, but life is never that predictable around my house.
