Great day...

We had a great time at the pool today with lots of friends!! The kids had a great time and I did too.... fun things going on to finish up summer!!! Only 9 days left of summer!!!

Went by to see the house tonight and have a few new pictures... it was WAY hot here today... heat index of 115 so we didn't spend much time at the house... but here ya go! Again - compare to last Monday pictures!

On the second floor - looking over the garage...

Another picture from the front...

Pictures... Pictures... Pictures...

Here are a few more pictures from our trip to SC... we went to my parents house... they live on Lake Greenwood - so we had lots of water fun....

A day at the lake.....

A few pictures from our day at the lake.... the kids had a blast.... we did too! Colby was doing it all ... with ease.... and we were proud of Camryn too, as she was knee boarding and doing it all by herself!! They get this from their mother... oh wait maybe not!

Summer Fun...

Well its Sunday and that means the weekend is almost over... we had a busy week! Colby took swim lessons at the HS and Camryn did a Golden Line (drill team) camp. She had lots of fun - as this is right up her alley, Colby on the other hand thought swim lessons were "boring"! Camryn had several friends in her class and also her cousin Jensen. The last day they did a performance for us and I will share a picture from that - too cute!

No baseball game on Saturday night - more rain... ugg!! Thought this picture would let you know where we all stand on the rain these days!! This is where Colby plays ball this year!

Hung out with friends Saturday night and had a great time, it was a big stress relief and Dean and I both needed that! Camryn and her friend Paige -were so cute and I must have taken a million pictures of them together - this is a favorite!

Camryn and her buddy Paige - they were posing for pictures!

No more news on the house.... should have more news to share on that later this week, hope its good news! Hope everyone else had a great weekend!!

3 is a crowd!

Well....we still didn't get to close yesterday and with that we have 3 residences... The buyer is still waiting on some paper work and this time it wasn't cancelled until 25 minutes before our closing time.... we do have some penalties lined up and they were accepted so we are feeling that they do still want the house - the papers just need to be signed off on.... ugg!! Needless to say being at our place yesterday wasn't much fun!

With that - tonight I am going out with the girls!! I can't wait... Sex and the City Movie - here we come!! I can't wait to see it! I am a little scared being on line today for I might learn something about the movie that will spoil it! Out for a few drinks after that and boy am I looking forward to it! Dean went to play golf today... hoping that will help his stress load... and he will be playing tomorrow too!

The kids are doing well with the move - I think with it being summer we are going to be ok - so many things are going on - they are always out and about! Camryn did take a "swim" in the tub here at the villa today... it was pretty funny - she thought it was the greatest thing ever!


Well.... Happy Saturday - check back tomorrow for the movie review!

I'm Back.....

Just wanted to take a moment and let you know that I haven't forgotten about my new blog!! I actually really like doing it! With that said - let me give you a run down on what has been going on here.....last Friday we spent the day moving into our temporary place of residence (per Peggy! :)) Anyway - our phone, Internet and Dish were all turned off at the house that day. No closing on the house - as expected.. long story... we spent Friday night out with friends for an end of the year party... more moving on Saturday.... lunch with my sister and kids...Sunday we had more moving, BBQ ed with more friends and Monday we will say was the
FINAL moving day and Dean and Colby had a chance to play a little golf!! We are officially in the Villa (sorry Peggy!) After a few issues we finally got our phone and Internet up and running,which is why I haven't blogged, on Tuesday. Summer started off on Tuesday with football camp and bike rides, and we have even already had a birthday party, lunch with friends, days at friends houses.... and an afternoon at Six Flags with tons of friends.... needless to say we have been busy!! Should have more to update soon and will have pictures too.... and on a final note.... closing on house is now set for tomorrow.... PLEASE pray that goes well.... really just goes at all!

Schooools out for Summer!!

The Last Day of School 2008
Well today was the last day of school for my kids this year.... and it really brought about a lot of lasts here at our house!

It was the last time....

I woke my kids up in this house for school....
I made breakfast for the kids at this house for school...
I watched them get on the bus on our driveway (unless I am ooh so lucky again!)
They played at the bus stop with all their friends and neighbors....
The last day they were students at Eureka Elementary...
The last day Colby was in 3rd grade...
The last day Camryn was in Kindergarten.....
The last day I had to myself....
The last day Miss Kitty was their bus driver... thats a BIG woohoo to them!
The last day I will get to say I have a Kindergartner and a 3rd grader....

I guess this move is getting me a little sentimental! Change is good - its a new chapter in the big book of life.... Looking forward to a nice summer and having a little break from the daily grind of school...

Happy Summer!!
