Taking a little break from it all...

We are heading to the campground today so that we can get away from a little bit of the hussle and bussle of our everyday lives. Mark still has to work, but the girls and I are going to enjoy some bike riding and chilling at the State Park beach. We are looking forward going. It may not be the fartherest away, but it does not matter because when we are camping, we have a total different mind set and it is so worth it. We have a pretty busy weekend, so we aren't able to camp then, so that is why we decided to go in the middle of the week. It is just how it worked out and makes no difference to us. Camping is camping and we are READY!!!! I just hope that this much needed rain goes away when we head out to get set up. We will see what happens, but if it decides to hang around, then that is ok too! We will still have a good "family" time together! Hope all of our blogging buddies week goes well and a wonderful weekend ahead! Until next time...

Another busy week..

Well you would think that things would be a little slower now, but not for us. We stay as busy as bumble bees and are always off doing something. Mark looked at me last night or early this morning at 12am and said, "Honey we have got to start going to bed a lot sooner than this!" And it is true. We are feeling it the next morning, but the plain truth is we do not stop until after 10:30pm and then it takes a few minutes to wind down before I head off to bed. Anyway, we have already had a busy week and today is only Wednesday. Leslea is at camp Geneva, Courtney has had one softball game already, has practice tonight, and another ball game tomorrow, Mark has been busy at work, I have been running the girls to the beach for play dates with friends, done yard work, been preparing for VBS, helping plan our dinner for New Comers and New Members Orientation Class dinner at church on Sunday, and so on. Too much to even list. Maddi has a birthday party today so she is so excitied. Of course it is at "CRAZY BOUNCE" so I am sure that she will have me climbing and sliding with her. Boy I can't wait! Haha! Anyway, I am sorry for the lapse in updates, but as you can tell, we are as busy as we can be. We hope that everyone has a good week and a wonderful weekend! Until next time....

Just some random photos

A little bored this morning with Court and Les gone to their friends and Maddi still snuggled up in bed watching cartoons, so I thought that I would throw a few photos on the blog. My flower bed is finally looking somewhat decent, so I took a few photos so that Nana could see what it looks like. I am sure that by the time you get here, most of them will no longer have all their color, so here is a glimpse. I still haven't put mulch down because I can not seem to get rid of the mole that is playing games with me. Mark is trying to catch it, but no luck. It makes my blood boil when I go out there and see all the dirt pushed up around every one of my flowers. I have even tried to drown the little monster with my soaker hose, but it just runs it deeper down. Oh well maybe I should name it and consider it a new pet because it is obviously not going to leave!! Right that will never happen. It is a rodent and I totally hate rodents! Anyway, we hope that all our blogging buddies have a wonderful 4th weekend! We have plenty of options, but are not quite sure exactly what we are going to do as of yet. With it falling on the weekend, it is kind of hard for Mark to get too far away. He is always on call, so you just never know what is going to happen. So have a good time and stay safe!
