{100} Days of Summer Challenge

Today is June 1st. It's the first day of Summer in my mind because it's the first day after Memorial Day. It's neat and tidy... it's the first day of a long summer with 3 kids. But then I realized, that's just a matter of perspective... it can be as long or as fun as I choose to make it to be. So I choose to make it a memorable one not only for me...but for my kids. They will only be 5, 3 and 1 for one summer only.
I invite you to go on this journey with me. Here's how we will begin... a jar full of ideas... 3 willing kids... one Mommy armed with a camera (point n'shoot or otherwise) and I'm sure some hilarious stories will be created along the way.
So... the jar. We made them at MOPS a few weeks ago (well, actually, I was lazy and JUST completed mine today, in fact) But hey, perfection is a blessing and a curse in my world.

Inside the jar is a hundred or more ideas for fun things to do this summer. Every day we will pick one one (or make one up). Every day we will do something fun. Everyday I will document it (see--this is a double treat for me-time with the kids--but also time with my camera--it's a win-win!)
Okay.... here we go!

June 1 - {Day 1} - FUN WITH GRAPES
Okay, so I made this one up because we didn't officially pick one out of the jar. But we sure had some belly laughs today seeing how many grapes the kids could fit in their cheeks. Yes, I know it's a choking hazard... no we will not do it again. But how can you resist these cheeks?

See you tomorrow!

Happy Valentine's Day {2010}

Addison's first Valentine's Day

Handsome Boy

I have been playing around with Textures in Photoshop and had to post this picture.

My handsome little devil...I love you "Mr. Ticklelicious!"

Bailey {Great Dog}

We lost our dear Bailey on Saturday, January 23rd. Although I knew this day would come "someday"... I never wanted it to be now. How can you count the precious 13 1/2 years she brightened our life as "enough"? She was my first "baby" so I thought it only appropriate to post one last picture of {My Girls}

{Cousins} Naomi and Delaney

Delaney and Naomi had a blast over the New Year holiday. I joke that I really miss Delaney when Naomi is around because I never see her--they are too busy playing. We love you, Naomi. Thanks for coming to visiting!
