Sally says it best!

I'm having one of THOSE days where the kids want to fight and argue everything with me and with each other. I left a load of clothes in the washer (AGAIN!) and they smell like, well, like towels that have been left in the washer overnight. I'm working on getting everything we need packed for the trip to Indian River. I haven't had a decent night's sleep in months. Yep, I'm taking a 10 minute blog break to let you all know that I've lost my mind and I'm fairly certain I'm not going to look for it. Ever! lol!

4 generations

My mom plays in the Pentwater Civic Band and they have weekly concerts on the Village Green. Well, tonight I finally made it to a concert. Was pretty cool, ended up running into a few people from school. Anyways, we had pizza at the Coast Guard Station on the pier before the concert and here's the picture my dad took of my mom, the girls, my grandma (my mom's mother) and me. It turned out pretty cool. :-)

The Walk, which lead to panic

The little road next to Uncle Ron's house...

Tart cherries...they're never sweet!

A field that we passed by

Yellow sweets...I think...
Same field as above...

Spooky woods
Ever wonder why I have perfect cell reception at my house? This is it. It's in my backyard practically and I love it. LOL! My cell works awesome all the time.

A row of peach trees
The hill we have to climb to get home....

A blurry Riley...she wouldn't stop moving!

A picture that was snapped as I was shutting the camera off and dropping it on the ground. Nice, eh?

After eating a Blizzard from DQ in 2 nights in a row, I decided that I needed to take a walk. So, I rounded up the dogs and headed out. I changed from my normal couse seeing how there's a huge St. Bernard that lives down the road and is NEVER chained up. Anyways...we head through the orchard by Uncle Ron's house, head up over a hill. I spot a yellow sweet cherry tree and want to see if the cherries are ripe. Some are, some aren't...the walk continues til I want to take another picture. The camera? It's not in my pocket any longer. WHAT? Damn! I backtrack to where the yellow cherries where...nope not there. This is where I start to panic. Everyone knows that I love my camera and take pictures of everything! I've got to find it! After about 15 minutes of pure panic hell, I find it. PHEW!

I'm so lucky!!

Sooo...as you can see my little bloggy has an updated look. My bestest friend (whom I've neglected lately! I'm so sorry!!! I love ya sweetie!) DAWN redesigned our site today. I just love it and hope you all enjoy it too!

The dresses...a better picture

This is a better picture of the dresses that I had made for the girls. There's a WONDERFUL seller on Etsy and here's a link to her shop: My Red Ladybug

Wagner's 4th of July in pictures

A sneak peek at the wedding pics...

Hail

This is the little hail we got yesterday during a thunderstorms. As you can see, it's not very big and it was very sparce. Nothing compared to the golfball sized stuff they got around Grand Rapids. Still neat to see and to show the kids.

This is what we did on our rainy afternoon

Since I have an ever growing obsession with clippies and bows for the girls hair, I finally had to break down and get bow holders. I bought 3 holders from a great lady on Etsy, but once I got them, realized that I can make them too! So, off to craft hell (aka Walmart) we went. I got the ribbon, and the decoration for the top. Total cost for 3 decorations, 100 inches of ribbon and 100 inches of smaller ribbon: $7.00. The ones I bought cost either $2.99 or $3.99. Soooo...yeah, they turned out pretty good and I'm proud of my hot glue gun skills. ;-)

Julia showing off her 2 new holders tha we made today!!

A doggie, a soccer ball and a zebra are now new residents Anna and Julia's room.

A happy Mom and Julia after all the work is done!

It's coming to an end...FINALLY

Anna has one more t-ball game...Cam has 2 more baseball games. YESSSSSSSSSSSS! Only 49 days after Cam's last game....FOOTBALL STARTS. That will have 4 nights a week of practice. Lovely.

How much Julia loves the new van

Sorry the pic is blurry, but we were headed to a baseball game. I had to take a picture of Julia sleeping with her headset on. She loves watching t.v. ANYWHERE...I was shocked that she actually fell asleep.

Our Michigan's Adventure Trip Photos

SIKE! There are no photos of our day spent at the amusement park! I forgot the memory stick for the camera and couldn't take any pictures. UGH! (Hey Liz...sound familiar?) What a bummer.

Here's a little clip of Julia at Anna's game
