when we got home from vacation I found a huge mess in the basement.  jims steam shower glass wall some how exploded everywhere.  after researching this online this is quite common in any type of glass wall. now I need to figure out if it can be replaced or if we need to get rid of the whole unit.

dress up

07-07-2011 09507-07-2011 096

chloe and morgan had not done dress up in years.  the other night the put on a show for me and was quite funny.  the finale was my all time favorite outfit, the red-white and blue. I don’t think I will ever be able to get rid of these.  I can remember madelyn and lacie wearing these and then chloe and morgan.  I am surprised that they still fit.

no more braces

chloe got her braces off.  she was so excited and she looks so different.  lets pray that we don’t have to do phase 2.

had a great time this year on the 4th.  the sidwells came over to help celebrate and we just chilled on the driveway with a cook out and bonfire. we were happy to be able to see the fireworks so well from the driveway.

Madelyn turns “13”

it is hard to believe that I now  have a teenager.  madelyn turned 13 on the 24th of june.  she had several friends come over and spend the night.  they went to play laser tag and then they all brought all their papers from school and burned them.  girls at this age are very silly.

hilton head 2011

hilton head this year was very cold and rainy. we were lucky that our last 2 days were good.  my pasty white body was in serious need of some sun.  one day we went to go meet derrick hough from dancing with the stars. very cool! then our great friends the sidwells had a overlap with our vacation so we could hang out with them for 2 days.

chloe had been home sick today with croup.  I have no idea how she got it because she was fine when she went to bed last night and I thought only babies came down with this. so today the  both of us spent the day crafting down in the craft room. I have been meaning to get a lot of my projects done forever. I have had this large frame on the wall in the office that had been empty since before christmas and every time I walked past it, it drove me crazy. I was able to “pimp” out our euchre basket for cards on friday and then make few little extras.   it feels good to get a couple of this done.

chloe and addison

03-15-2011 001

it is hard to believe that chloe and addison have become friends. addisons mom(callie)  and I have been best friends since childhood. even though we are in different states we have managed to get our girls together.  they are so silly with their emails, letters and skyping of one another.  we do try to get them together several times a year.addison had called and wanted a sleep over at her house so we made the road trip to see her. lets just hope that they can stay out of trouble.
