Rock, Paper, Scissors....SHOOT!

Just a few recent photos of my guys....
last one is typical coley....
blowing bubbles...
ALWAYS with gum in his mouth lately.
Happy weekend! xe

I love this kid...

So,
I'm making a grocery list this morning.
"J...go check and see if I have any dried basil"...

a few seconds later..

Jared-
"Ah..you guys have dried marijuana in here?!?"

ME---laughing...
"WHAT are you talking about?"

J-"OH... never mind...it's marjoram."

OMG..I laughed so hard,
I almost peed my pants.

Just a quick

pre-weekend post.....
Finished up my entry in Missy's cj...her theme was a fictional character I admire...
for some reason this became the most difficult theme...EVER.
NO idea why...
because honestly I LOVE the theme....
I love that I hadn't done it before..
So,
Gabby suggested half a millions things...
yes,
Strawberry Shortcake and Lilo were both contenders....
I think because of we share the same girlish figure...
or something like that...
BUT...
when it came down to doing it..
I went w/ my first thought when I heard the theme.
Martha Stewart.
Yep.
That folks is the fictional character I admire most...
you KNOW she's not real..
heeehee...
Oh, and I added Pam,
cuz.
I love Pam.
She makes me laugh.
Sorry Missy...
hope you don't hate me toooo much!

On the t-shirt front...
just my 2cents...after actually getting my shirts.
Go with the white and orange...
I loved the black online...and Jared will be sporting that one..
but the orange is better ;)
JUST my advice...and if your order is wrong when it arrives...
umm...
just call the 800 number and they'll fix it.
pronto.

Thankyou to everyone that has ordered.

Just wanted to post a tiny note about my husband.
When we found out I was pregnant with Jared....he was 18.
He missed out on a lot,
but I hope he'd say he gained a lot more.
He puts most Dads that wait, and plan, and do things the "right" way
to shame.
He is an incredible Daddy.
Love you Col.
Happy Father's Day...

WHOOHOOOO...

Love me some summer vacation...

sleeping in...
drinking iced tea...
grilling out...
watching the boys play baseball...
and run around the yard...
after dinner walks...
pineabus...
slip-and-slides...
ice cream trucks...
popsicles..
lemonade stands...
boys in too-cute-swim-trunks...
reading books outside....
tan lines...
grilled veggie sammies...
the beach...
hmmm....
what else??!?

on to other un-interesting...un-exciting...un-happy news...
my house is BACK on the market...
the buyers....or should i say "buyers" that we've been dealing with since March...
are "out of town"...
closing was the end of last month..
and they aren't back.
So...my realtor re-listed our house.
hmm...
makes me kind of vomitous...
but hopefully it will sell (again) quickly...
this double mortgage thing?!? It's nuts.
That, or we win the new powerball here with a quickness.
I'm sort of contemplating using their earnest money and going to disney world...not that I won't end up using it to pay bills..
but the idea of being at disney...on them...makes me
HAPPY. :)
bad buyer people.
bad.

*CUTE photos a la Gabby, (thanks gab...love them) from our trip to Wilmington.
Go US Nat'l team...anyone watching World Cup?!?!
(hopefully our guys improve slightly...)
I'm secretly cheering harder for England...
one guess why...
:)
go Becks.

Wow....

When Nisa first emailed with her idea I was so touched,
so humbled, so overwhelmed....
Then to actually see what she's done...
how can it not take your breath away...
To see all the amazing talent that is taking part to support what we're doing?!
it just left me speechless...
I'm feeling so proud to be a part of this community right now.
To be surrounded by women that would rally around us and make us feel so loved..
that would volunteer their time, and their talent...
How do you ever say thank you enough for that?!
I love you all so very much....
You remind me that together...we can do BIG things.
