Today is the day

Today is the day I get to spend doing numerous loads of laundry and pack. The girls and I are leaving for Utah in a few days for 2 weeks. We have been waiting for this day for a long time. It seems like forever since Shannon and I decided that I would go to Utah. Wish me luck on my day as Taylin was up most of the night puking and a little diarrhea. She seems to be better but has had a few accidents in her pants. So that's my day and in just a few days I will be on a plane.

Happy Birthday Shannon

I just wanted to take a sec and wish my sister Shannon a Happy Birthday. I don't have any current pictures of her so I won't post any that I have from a few years ago. But I will see her on Saturday Woohoo. I hope you have a fantastic day and enjoy turning 27!!!!!! Happy Birthday

Taylin takes flight

So yesterday I was in the kitchen doing the dishes and I had left the newspaper and the plastic bag it comes in on the couch. Taylin sat on the couch picked up the bag and said this is my parachute. She filled it up with some air then with all her might took the big plunge from the couch to the floor with her "parachute." There was a big thud and her saying well that didn't work very well. I am not sure what her expectations of her little parachute was, oh well.

Happy Birthday Hailey

Today is Hailey's 8th birthday. I can't believe how old she is getting, lets not forget how tall she is. She is just below my chin. To celebrate her day we went to the beach for the weekend. Hailey is the best little girl anyone could ever ask for. She does however, get a little moody, but overall she is awesome.



Some of the highlights from our trip were, Go Karts (which her and I beat Eric and Taylin), carousal (which she said she is getting too old for), a train ride, playing on the beach, touring the Tillamook Cheese Factory (we go every year and it never gets old), eating lots of food, Hailey got a new build a bear, shopping, and of course the great arcade they have there.

We celebrated tonight with my mom and dad. Just a little party to hold her over to this weekend where she will have some friends over for a sleepover, and then another party with cousins next Sunday. She will also get more celebrating when we go to Utah from her aunts and uncles who live there. WE love you Hailey and hope you have a fantastic birthday.

Oh poopy

Do you know why I don't have dogs? Cause I would probably be the one stuck poop scooping and that does not sound inviting. Our neighbors on both sides of us and the 2 houses behind us all have dogs, at least 2 or 3. Now that our weather has cooled down a little I have turned the AC off and have opened windows for a breeze. The downside to this is every single neighbor needs to go out and poop scoop cause I am sick of smelling dog crap. The heat doesn't help with the smell either. How annoying and disgusting this is?

Memories

I saw this on my sister Trish's blog and she said I had to play. I didn't want to but she insists and well I tend to do what she tells me so she doesn't beat me up or anything.

Here's how you do it
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

So bored

I am so extremely bored these days!!!!! We are having a fun summer, but I am so bored everyday. I need ideas on how to make my days more meaningful and fun with the girls instead of the same daily routines. We are going to Seattle next weekend, the weekend after that is Hailey's bday party, then the next weekend the girls and I are going to Utah for a few weeks, and we also have a weekend beach trip planned at the end of August. But until all these fun filled days come to me I am so bored. I read blogs WAY too much, I feel like a spy on some people. So if you are one of the blogs I frequent WAY too much sorry, but I am just bored........
