Today... YEAH

Snagged these photos of Sawyer

as they were leaving.

We had a great day, Daddy kept

both kids at home and they all had fun.

Aunt Stacie, Anabelle and Sawyer came over for

supper and a visit. We enjoyed getting to

see them. I could just eat them up!

They are so CUTE and ADORABLE!

Thanks again for coming we had a blast!!

Love you guys!

Anabelle is pretty as a picture, and Sawyer

well he is just sweet as sugar! I could just

eat him up. I AM SO GLAD he let me hold

him. He makes me want another baby.

Ashlyn and Sawyer are so much a like!

Sweet...Sweet....Sweet.

Luke and Anabelle are going to keep

us all on our toes. As they should.

They are the oldest after all. :-)

We're on the right track....

~AND THEY ARE OFF TO DO SOME PICKING~

I LOVE THIS PICTURE!

Wish Luke's hand was not infront of his face.

The whole gang and curly! :-)

Look Papa Ryan is this one ripe?

They have the hang of it now!

No playing for mommy! I was busy picking.......

Eating all that she picked!

Eating most of what he picked.

Look at those BLUEBERRIES! The snake skin is fake! :-)

The picking gang!

After our hard work.... it is time to cool down

\

in the pool!

Back to having summer fun.. WE have been down and

healing, but now we are healed and having a blast.

Papa has been out of town for a while, and he asked

us to come and pick some blueberries. He knows

they are our favoriate things in the WORLD, so we

RAN and picked some. It was awesome to see him

and he came out and picked. What a wonderful

morning. It was not too hot, and we had a breeze.

In about an hour, we had picked 5 gallons. And a

couple of the bushes were still loaded. I hated to

leave them because I don't want any of them to go

bad. You know me waste not want not!! :-)

About 10:30 we hit the road to come home, we

stopped by and put our blueberries in the freezer

then got our swim suites on and got back in the

car to head up to the Lake. We went swimming

in the pool, both kids go under water now, and

Luke jumped off of the high dive. Ashlyn ran

down the board, and then hit her tummy...she

decided it was not for her after all.

So she made her back down! Luke had a

false start too Ashlyn so it is OK. You are

a big girl for even trying it at ALL.

Mommy would not even do it. I don't DIVE!!

Off this week with the kids for our last week of

vacation looking forward to it.

Hope everyone has a great week, and wonderful

rest of the summer!! It is going by too FAST!

Back to Normal...

We are back to normal and in a routine! Oh how I have missed it!

RELAXING WEEK-END, then OFF MOST OF NEXT WEEK.

Taking the babies to the BEACH as a last minute surprise!

They are going to love it!

Hopefully we will get to see the Collins Family! Life is good!

Worry will kill ya....

Luke is doing much better, and is headed back to
Christian summer camp tomorrow!

Can not wait to get back to our summer!

It is Really HOT outside right now!

Dry all Night!

Ashlyn has done wonderful with potty training,

she stays dry all day, and has for a while.

We really have not worked on night time,

because we had to get a toddler bed 1st.

It has been a couple of weeks and she has

transitioned to the toddler bed, and so last night

we gave it a try. She did it! Stayed dry all night!

I am sure it is going to be some more work, but

we have 1 dry night under our belt!

So excited!

We gave her some treats this AM,

and praised her all morning!!

Our babies are growing up way to fast!

We have 1 dry night and now 1 wet night,

she did not make it to the bathroom in time last night.

It sure is handy to have 2 beds in her room right now. :-)

Zoo - Zoo - Zoo

We hit the Zoo 3 times this week.

1st time me and Luke,

2nd time daddy and Luke

and last time mommy, Luke

and Ashlyn!

07/10/2010 - Nicole & Patrick's Happy Hour Honeymoon Shower

Our griller!

The Groom to be!

Bride and Hostesses!

I had a hand in throwing my best friend Nicole a Honeymoon
Shower. Mrs. Angie, Nicole's Mom and Bobbie Nicole's
sister in law did most all of it. It was such a fun shower!
I really enjoyed it. I was a little worried about Luke, but
it was an awesome time. We did a happy hour shower, so
it was loads of fun. Then we went to a comedy club, and
had a blast! It was nice being around adults and I enjoyed
myself! Pat stayed home, and was Mr. Mom to Luke. He did
a great job. I do wish he could have come with me.
Ashlyn stayed at Camp Papa Boozer's and Dang's.
She had a blast. Thanks to everyone for putting up with me
talking about Luke and taking care of my babies so I could
enjoy myself. I have the best family and friends in the WORLD!!

If I had a millon dollars....

I would order all of these photos I need to order. LOL!

Bite

This picture is from 07/08/2010

Little Luke has a bug bite, that has gotten infected.

Please pray that it heals quickly!

Ashlyn is at Papa Boozer, and Dangs, and I am off to the

Beach tomorrow.

07/07 - Noticed bite and it looked like a bug bite,

with a red ring around it as big as a quarter.

07/08 - red ring doubled was the size of a baseball.

07/09 - Doctors appointment Friday Luke could hardly walk from the pain.

07/10 - Saturday was better, everything seemed alright.

07/11 - Luke seems to be getting worse the infection is spreading,

was almost all around his leg.

Pat took him to the doctor and they changed antibotics.

07/12 - Took Luke in for a follow up, the infection seems to be going

down so that means that it is responding to the antibotic.

Joan and Steve are going to keep him this week, for some TLC.

Hopefully next week will be back to normal.

Littleman has only been at Papa Boozer and Dang's for 2 hours

and I miss him like CRAZY!

07/13 - Luke's leg is doing better is it not really draining anymore and

it looks like he is on the mend.

07/14 - Had to take Luke in, the redness was gone, and now it has come back a little,

the doctor said it ok, and he hopes it will be gone by Sunday.

07/15 - Little better, but not gone.

07/16 - Looks the exact same as yesterday, maybe not as red.

So ready for it to be healed and gone.

Hope tomorrow, and Sunday bring complete healing!

His last day of Antibotics is tomorrow.

Take me to the River.....

We had our family fun day

with my Mom, my Sisters and their families,

our Aunt Jane and some

cousins and their families

we have not seen in a while.

All the kids got

to play and bond.

It was WONDERFUL we enjoyed

every minute of our time with them.

The food, company were great

we loved the river cabins and the

splash pads were super fun.

I can not wait to see everyone

soon and do it again!!
