The past few days

So many things are changing so quickly for our family! Thankfully being spiritually sound helps ease with the transition of it all.

But in the midst of our transition, it is nice to know that really we are still a family. 4th of July fireworks, beach day visits, then there is kick pow on my bed.

My kids love to run and jump onto my bed. So their favorite move is a flying kick. The girls call it kick pow. So Tyra normally holds the pillow, while the two crazies back down the hallway, getting enough running room to perform the flying kick.

Traysea has it down.
Nanea needs a little more practice!
So she tried again
Yea. Similar results. So of course...Ryan needed to try
Of course he nails it on the first try..but I was laughing so hard that I couldn't get a good picture. This is take number 5. I kept waiting for my bed to break when each of them landed. I told Ry it would be a great reason to have to get a new one. Of course..no such luck!

Then with all the rain going on for the past week..we have been home BORED out of our minds...
Eating Spam Musubi till we can't stand it anymore!
Listening to ipods
Oh the shirt says it all. Thank you Escotts.

We have played hair salon, restaurant, kitchen, everything else under the sun. Then Uncle Raymond came to stay with us for awhile. Which I am excited...because...that means in a matter of weeks, my nieces will be here! Also too..on the 21st our Gabby Ann is coming to stay with us! Hope your summer is filled with smiles!

My ninja moments start

So blogging wise..we are off the mainstream! I am not sure if I am excited about it..but somehow I do feel better about it.

All I could imagine was great pictures of my children on some child porn website...PLUS the having to omit names and locations...we all know that i just don't filter well!

So we are pretty much sure we are moving to a small, very nice, centrally located, very tiny, with great amenities apartment. Now I cannot even start to remember the last time I have lived in an apartment. I think I might have been oh lets say two since I lived in an apartment. But I am trying to focus on the positives!!! Let's see if I can come up with ten of those!

1. It has a pool the girls can swim in year around! Yea for heated pools!
2. It has a puppy park where Logan can run free!
3. Did I mention the year around pool. Crap now that means I need 11.
   
4. There is a full gym! Tyra and I are both excited!
5. It will take less then an hour to clean my entire house. I am pretty excited about this one!
6. The girls are still going to be going to the same school!
   
7. Walking distance to Target!
8. A tanning salon. OH how I wish I needed that...but at least it is an option..right!
9. They have doggie treats at the entry to the "complex"
10. It's on the second floor. At least it's not the third!
11. My girls love it. I have the very best children around. Traysea is not excited about having to have to share a room with her sister again..but she is excited that I am stacking the beds and they will have bunk beds again..Not to mention I told them they get TV in their room!

WOW that wasn't as easy as I thought that it might have been!

So besides that..we are just waiting to hear on if we get it or not. I don't for see anything preventing it..but you just never know.
We are off to the MOSH today...they have some crazy dinosaur exhibit...that the girls gotta see
then there is spam musubis for lunch

What a weekend!

Our weekend started really on Thursday. The girls and I went to go and see Transformers FINALLY! Now I am normally a pretty good mom. I don't normally let me kids, the younger two, watch PG-13 movies. BUT it was transformers, and if you even knew just how much my house is into transformers you would get it. Anyway we had movies and cold stone..

Then friday we went to go and see Ice Age 3. The girls couldn't wait. And daddy was coming. Ice Age in three d..FUN! My girls were smiling ear to ear..and where was my camera..oh at home on the bar....waiting for loving.

Late Saturday night I had to have one! #1 and I made a midnight run to Sonic for drink happiness! So Strawberry limeades and Mango Cool Breezes for fun!

With the 4th brought us getting up and heading out to 4th of July fun. Our town had a pretty lame one..so we headed to GA to go and see what was going on up there. It was awesome. HOT HOT HOT..but the girls liked it..and I think I have found my fresh veggies and fruits from now on. So what if it is a drive across the state line..who cares right?

We spent the day walking and just hanging out.
Came home and it was family nap time! YEA! Well the piglets and I napped. Ry played games and made dinner..because later we were going to head downtown to see the fireworks.

It wasn't too bad. BUSY yes...but nothing more then anyone could manage. It was nice to see fireworks. And it was nice to be all together. The fireworks show was not disney, but the girls loved it just the same. Even #1. I hate that she is getting so old. When did someone take my bundle of baby girl bliss away from me. Sigh! All I could do is look over at her, and wonder. Sorry, my heart hurts..she turns 14 at the end of August..and I am having some early growing pains!

But my post is not complete without pictures right?? So Logan was home all day with daddy and didn't get to play parade. So here he is..prancing around with his balloon!
My dog is just the crazy!
Oh..but adorable!
Then theres #2 preparing for her mission! Yes, she is just seven..but somehow she has it all figuired out!
Enjoy your week

Enjoy your day!

I need a filter

On my thoughts..and then my mouth.

Why you ask...well because I just say what i think before I really think about saying it.  Does that make sense? 

So I can't say I am sorry for what I say.  I mean I don't intend on hurting your feelings..but when the truth hurts..is that really my fault? 

And just because I am the only person that stops to ask you just what were you thinking?

You hate me now.

Oh well...

xoxo
