Crazy Hair Day
June 9th, 2010
This year the girls had their crazy hair day/track & field day on the last day of school. Luckily the weather cooperated for that day and it wasn’t too hot or too cold. Crazy that another year has gone by and that I have a 4th grader and 2nd grader on my hands. Life, please slow down!!! They didn’t let me do the crazy ideas I had but this is what we came up with for the hair.

More soccer!
June 9th, 2010
I realized that I never put soccer pics of my other soccer player. I didn’t take my camera hardly at all, it always seemed to be raining or snowing this season. It was a fun season and the girls did really well. Miss D finally made it to the 100 juggles club, her record is now 164. I have some video footage I need to upload so you can see. Some of these pics are from other parents who shared so THANK YOU!!!
Not looking so hot and right before being diagnosed with strep throat by Uncle Dr. J.
The Her-icanes!
And some more of the other rugrat….
The Volcano’s!
Thanks for a FUN spring season girls!

Summer Reading

Thanks to my fabulous sister in law I have a great pile of books to drool over this summer. Hopefully the sunshine will come out and act like summer so I can kick back in the lawn chair and read!

We will miss you Grandad!
May 12th, 2010
The world lost a kind and gentle man today. I was lucky enough to marry into his family. He lived so far away that I didn’t get the chance to hang out with him a lot, but the times I did get too were wonderful. Great-Grandad you are so loved and will be missed!

Soccer, soccer, soccer
May 1st, 2010
It’s that time of year again and we are in full-swing soccer season with both girls. Lakes is rocking the house this year. She’s the most aggressive that she’s ever been & she is finally learning how to juggle the ball, which is cool to watch.
We’re sure proud of our girl!!!

Spring Break er….Snow Break?
April 7th, 2010
So Dh wanted to go visit Montello again while the girls had their spring break. I agreed to do PART of spring break, so we went for 4 days. I know it totally bumbs Dh out that I just do not enjoy it like he does. I really wish I did, but so far it’s only partially my cup of tea. One positive is that it totally makes me not take my comforts from home for granted. A shower never feels so good when you’ve been in the cold and the mud and the smoke (from both the wood burning stove & all the cigarette smokers around).
We got there on Saturday and Preston had made up another container cabin for Bill, a guy from California who also bought land out there. We sat and waited on the main highway for the delivery guy to bring the container on his big truck. While we were waiting a big huge MASSIVE Great Pyrenees came and stuck his head in our window. He put his big dog paws on the running board and asked for some love.
Which made our dog act like a sad little puppy…
Finally the container came and Bill got his container dropped on his property…
SUCCESS!!
The resident chihuahua has captured the girls heart. Each time we’ve gone they love this little guy to pieces….his name, fittingly, is Peewee.
We met another family from California (The Lemke’s) while we were there as well. A great family who have plans to move to Montello full time in a couple of years!
This trip was the coldest one yet, I think even colder than when we went in January. The wind just blew & blew and that made it even worse. I think I might fair better if it is HOT outside and I can at least throw a bucket of water over my head to wash my hair. I have found I don’t do well when I cannot have a shower. I am used to one a day if not two. I’m not ready to go back anytime soon but maybe once good weather hits I’ll change my mind, haha! Sorry babe!

Haute Chocolat Couture
February 22nd, 2010
So back awhile ago I did a photoshoot for Haute Chocolat Couture. Part of the deal was to trade pics for outfits for my girls. Oh my are they so adorable or what? I wish it wasn’t freezing cold outside and my yard buried in snow. I can’t wait for warm weather so we can go out and have a proper photoshoot!
Becky of Haute Chocolat Couture loves custom orders so if you have something you would like send her a note. You can contact her through her etsy store at http://www.etsy.com/shop/hautechocolat
