My First Mow!!

It was so exciting. Felling the vibration of the motor on the handles was so neat. I mowed the lawn with my daddy today. I laughed so hard when it would pull me along. I can't wait to do this without my dad!!

So.........Tucker was pointing at Brandon while he was mowing the lawn so Brandon thought it would be funny to see what he did with the lawn mower. Boy did he love it. Natural!! I think Brandon having more fun then Tucker. We also got it on video.

BFFers!!!

Forever Friends

Kathrynne, Melissa, Me, Jen & Kaylene

Can you believe it has almost been 20 yrs!!

Jenna is 8!!

I just can't believe it~~My little bug is 8! How time has flown by us. Jenna had a fun day, although she was not happy that she didn't get the party she was wanting........a swim party that is. BECAUSE IT ISN'T DONE!!!! That was me screaming! She had her cousins over and her adopted cousins (Melissa's kids) over for cake and ice-cream. We had fun. She will have another party once the pool is done, as long as it is still summer. She is anticipating her baptism on September 1st!
Her new MP3 Player!!

Am I doing this for nothing?????

So.....after spending time downloading pictures and journaling, I feel like I am doing this only for Julia??? She is my back neighbor and one of my BFF's. She sees me almost everyday and yet she seems to be the only one who cares to see how my fam is doing?? Maybe I should just send Julia my exciting news? !!! LOL
IS ANYBODY ELSE OUT THERE?????

1st day of school

Madee & Jenna started school today. Madee is in Kindergarten and Jenna is in 3rd grade. They were both very excited, but Madee made herself a little sick from nerves. Just like I used to do!! Madee was very excited to finally get to ride on the bus with the "BIG" kids. Jenna was very calm, yet excited to see who was in her class. She got a "BOY" teacher and was really unsure of that whole thing, but once she got to class, she really liked him. They seem to grow up faster and faster every year. Does that mean I get older quicker??

NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!

We are experiencing a BIG nightmare in our backyard called a POOL. What a mistake we feel we made. Every step of the way has been a disaster. We are just hoping and praying that ONE day this guy will either finish and fix his mistakes or just get out of here!! Here are some of our lovely pictures of the not-so-lovely concrete that he says he is not ripping out!! YA RIGHT!

These are supposed to be straight!!!!! LOL.......wow ha. Our pool guy told the concrete guy that HE wanted to have saw cuts!! NOT US, but the pool guy wanted them. So, that is what he made them do and this is what they look like!! Can you also see the chip out of the lower left corner??that isn't all.....

These cracks are NOT supposed to be there!!!

So the chip is obvious.......but do you see the white dots??? Those aren't supposed to be there either. There was something wrong with the concrete mix. The pool guy won't return our phone calls now or the concrete supply companies or the concrete guys!! They called me first thing (8:05AM) this morning to see if he had answered our calls. Our pool guy told me he didn't want to take the coping out!! YA RIGHT!!!!

Goes to show that even good LDS men are snakes! Who can we even trust??

I'll keep you posted on this. I am hoping that he calls today!!

My NEW DO!

I was so bored with the Blonde. SO...........................................................

Never know what I'll look like tomorrow, ha Dad! Change is good. Not sure if I am sold on it yet, but it will fade out a little and we'll have to see. Keeps Brandon on his toes!!! LOL

First black eye!!

I know it may be a little difficult to see, but yep......Tucker got his first black eye just 2 days after his b'day. He is a speed demon and Brandon couldn't catch him as he slipped and fell down ONE stair!!! Ya' tell me about it. ONE silly stair and he managed to hit his head 3X! This is after just over a week old. I'm convinced there will be LOTS more!

Summer fun

These pictures were taken at the end of July at Julia's. These two are so much fun to watch. I am so sad that they will not see much of eachother come Wednesday.(that is when school starts for us!) Madee is morning and Anna is afternoon. I just love them!
