Swim Party





On Saturday night we were invited to Corey's boss's house for a swim party. Corey forgot to tell me the swim part so we didn't bring any suits. The boys just swam in their shorts and Lexie just swam in her underwear. I know so white trash. Plus we didn't have any of their floaty stuff so I had to watch them extra careful. I was just in my regular clothes and I had the impression that I might have to jump in with my clothes on. That proved a good assessment because Gabe fell off the step and was barely above the water on his tip-toes. I was on the other side of the pool and the people standing over there were just staring at him. I ran over and had to save him. He was terrified and I saw that plainly in his little eyes. He clung to me for a little while, but all was good. I was sopping wet the rest of the party though. Good thing I didn't wear a white shirt. The kids had a blast though and the picture of Logan turned out awesome. Check out those eyes. The water really just brings them out. It was a great night to spend together as a family.

family visit

This past week we had family in town visiting. Corey's parents came along with his brother and wife with their two kids. We had a lot of fun hanging out and with them helping to do our redecorating. It was great to see everyone again. Most of the pictures are on Corey's cell phone so I will post some later. Here are a couple from the zoo. The week went by too fast and so now we are back to our normal routines. Hopefully I will be better at taking pictures for posting. I have been slacking lately. Sorry.

Remodeled house






So we finally got around to doing some stuff to our house. The bathroom was horrible so we took everything out except the bathtub and put all new in with tile. It looks so much better and we have more room since we took out the vanity and put in a pedestal sink. I love the results. We also put wood laminate in our living room and entry way. It looks so nice and I went and got some new decor. It doesn't even look like the same house. I love it. My favorite thing is the TV stand that I got a great deal on. We are so excited we are almost done. We still have to put up the bottom trim but that will come next week.

gotta love Walmart




Today I had to go to Walmart to get something for church on Sunday and they were having a huge clearance on their toys. The kids were so excited so I let them choose something for five dollars a piece. There were so many toys that it took a little while but when we got home they wanted to just play. I took a picture of them with their toys. I am such a sucker when it comes to my kids.

Labor Day





This weekend was great. We played a lot with my parents and had a good time. On Sunday my mom made spaghetti and we put it into a big bowl and just put it in front of the five kids and let them have at it. They actually were pretty civilized and didn't make too much of a mess. But they thought it was great, and props to grandma for coming up with such a great idea.


I actually went golfing with my parents on Monday with my own set of club and bag. I was horrible and I quit toward the end because I was getting frustrated, but I did hit the ball more then I was swinging air. We also hung out at my mom's house that night as well. So although it was relaxed we had a really great time.
