T-shirts

We found this fun idea on the internet and decided to try it!  Thought they would make great paint shirts for school!  :-)

We skipped the cup step and just poured the alcohol right onto the shirts.  Worked good!

It got a little smelly for the house, so we moved the art project outside!

Mini Vacation

This weekend we decided on a whim to go to Aberdeen for a mini vacation!  Sorry for the picture overload.  For anyone who has been to Aberdeen you know there are LOTS of great photo ops!  We had a BLAST!!!  Here is a picture of the kids the first night in the hotel after swimming the night away!  Love how they are sleeping in the exact same position!  

Here we are the next morning swimming again.  We spent about seven hours in the pool in two days!  It was the first time we had ever been in a pool where the water was almost as warm as a bath tub.  It was GREAT!  The air was actually colder then the pool water!  No one got cold or tired of the water!

Even Baby A loved swimming!  Which is no surprise, she LOVES water!





He was amazed how big his feet looked under the water!  ;-)


Then in the afternoon we headed to Storybook Land.  They sure have added a lot since I was there as a child!  Such a neat place for kids!  They ran from one place to the next with new excitement at each new character!  Jas and I got the biggest kick out of them!

Mom, don't you have a picture somewhere of us on these same horses as kids?  :-)


Who's that handsome guy?!?!  LOL!




Jas was really getting into this Storybook Land thing! That was a pretty big jump for him!







Little E had to pick the tiger!  No surprise there! 






Had to get a picture of Miss Muffet!  For those of you don't know, that was my nickname given to me by my family!  Some still call me that. . . some more then others!  ;-)

Daddy had to get a picture by the Golden Eagle! Go Davies!!!! 



We finished the day with a train ride around the park.  

On the way home the we made a pit stop at Jamestown to see the World's Largest Buffalo.  The last time I was there my Grandpa and Grandma M. took me as a young girl.  Lots of great memories were brought back to me!   



And there is a picture of the albino buffalo, White Cloud. . . not sure if the original White Cloud is still living or not.  Just read an article not too long ago that White Cloud also had an albino calf and another one of her "normal" calves also had an albino buffalo.  So there are/were three actual albino buffaloes in this herd at one time.  . . . Just in case you wanted to know!  ;-)

9 Month Pictures

Well, I went back through the pictures I took last week and found a couple "post" worthy ones.  Little stinker wouldn't smile or look at the camera but she is still pretty cute!  Still might try to get some more, but we'll see.  

I had a cute necklace on her but she wasn't having it!  

She was SO focused on the rocks that is why I could not get her to look at me!  ;-)

Here I handed Daddy the camera as I was giving up getting any good shots of her.  You can tell she is mad at me for picking her up and not letting her play with the rocks.  Stinker!!!

Baseball Game

We had a fun night at the Redhawks game last night!  We were hoping Daddy was going to catch us another ball like he did the last time he took us, but we didn't have any luck.  We did however have lots of fun anyway!

Love this one of her tongue hanging out!  LOL

10 of the BEST years of my life!

I can truly say that I married my BEST friend!  I am SO very thankful for him. He is not only a wonderful husband, but a wonderful dad! He is the most hardworking, loving, funny, caring person I know and I am so lucky/thankful that he is mine! 

Thanks buddy for the ten best years of my life!  XOXO  Still madly in love after all these years!  ;-)  Life is good!
