Email Help!!!

For those of you who don't know, I have gone back to work full-time for a few days and then I will be part-time after I do some training with the new girl. So, when I come home, I am completely exhausted! I have a new appreciation for working moms and their families. While staying at home is very hard, I have learned that working is hard too!



As I said, I am exhausted. And in my exhaustion, I managed to lose all of my emails and email addresses in my address book. Don't ask how. I feel very dump already. So, if you read this, send me a short email so that I can get your information back in my address book. Sadly, I have become dependant on my computer and my cell phone to "remember" things for me. Hopefully, you will read this and spread the word to the rest of the family and friends and I will get

Pictures of the Fun!

I start back to work tomorrow so I am not sure when I will be posting next. I wanted to get some updated pictures posted of the fun that we are having this summer. We have been doing a lot of swimming. Kayla is getting very brave now. I have to watch her closely because she likes to jump off the edge of the pool trusting that I will be there to catch up. What a mentophor for what God seeks from each of us. Imagine what it would be like if we all jumped off the edge knowing that God would be there to catch us.

Enjoying the Summer

We haven't done much in the last few weeks that is very exciting so I haven't posted in a while. We are just enjoying the summer days. We swim ALOT! Even Kayla is getting into it now. We have passed some mile stones in the last few weeks. Keeli is no longer taking a nap which I do not like much. I too enjoyed those afternoon naps sometimes. But that is over now!!!! And Kayla has expressed some interest in the potty. Oh, I am not ready to do potty training! But, the cost of diapers has gone up so it may be a good thing. Right now she is just going when Keeli goes but she just sits there and nothing happens. One day she will get it but I am not rushing her!!!

I will start back to work in a couple of weeks. I am excited and worried too. Will I be able to do it all? I know that God is in control and I know that he has blessed me going back to work. So, I am trusting that I will be able to do it all. I am excited to get back into the work force. Be among some adults for a while but still not neglect my family and other responsiblities. I will be working for some great people whom I love and adore very much! I went to the office yesterday and they have my office all set up for me. They even kept some pictures that I had on my desk when I worked there before and put them on my desk for me. Isn't that great? (I can't believe that I left pictures there and didn't even notice them gone!)

I took the girls to the park yesterday. I will post some pics of them looking at the praire dogs.















Keeli dressed herself today.






























Girls playing in Mommies shoes!

Another New Addition!

I went to our insurance office and picked up Sadie! Isn't she cute? The girls love her but I am not sure Sadie is returning the love! Sadie's mom and dad got dropped off at the dumpster behind the office and mom got pregnant. The ladies at the office have been rasing Sadie. She is already litter trained and she is very loving. I think that the girls scare her because they are so loud and she isn't used to that. I am sure once the girls go to sleep that Sadie will calm down a bit and get used to her surroundings.

4th of July Fun!

My sister-in-law and her family came down for the holiday. Here is some pictures of the everyone watching the fireworks. I think that this is the first year that Keeli has not been afraid of them. And Kayla, well, she is fine as long as she is in Daddy's lap. I tried to capture a few of the fireworks that were set off. They were beautiful and everyone loved them. It gives me a new appreciation for our country and the men and women fighting for our freedom. God bless them!

A lot of my husband's family is here this weekend. And since we live on the Home Place, I think that everyone is coming here today to play in the tank and explore the pasture. I have never met most of them so I am excited to show them our home. There are lots of kids here and Keeli loves to have people over. My little socialite! We are going to take them fishing and play in the pedal boat. It will be a fun weekend.

Time for Fun

Yesterday we went to the Zoo. The girls were so excited....even Kayla. I asked them that morning if they wanted to go and you should have seen how fast their little legs were going. Keeli dressed herself without the usually, "Mommy" whine. And Kayla was jumping out of her seat she was so excited. Kayla caught me off guard because I didn't think that she would understand what the Zoo was. My baby is growing up! I was kinda sad because I didn't have to take the a stroller with me. One less thing to lug around. But inside my heart was acheing because it means that my baby is well on her way to not being a baby anymore. God has blessed me with two beautiful children. I try very hard to slow life down so that I can enjoy them more. But that doesn't always happen. I wished that I could always remember these sweet times....

Kayla fell and busted her lip on the way out of the Zoo. Ouch!!!

Yum! Ice Cream

I had a girl friend out to the house the other night. The kids had so much fun. We had hotdogs and ice cream. WHAT A MESS!!!
