4th of July/Scrapbooking!!!

Well for those of you who know me know I like to scrapbook and my wonderful husband got me a CRICUT for my birthday. I was very excited still have not tried it out don't worry I am going to use it. Well I then went and got some more scrapbooking things that I thought I would like. I need some more organzing things so Michaels had some shelves on sale so I got some and well target had a bunch of things in their $ spot and well I needed the tool kit for my cricut. I will get this all put together hopefully this week and then I will update my pictures. But for now here is my buys/gifts.

The MIND OF A THREE YEAR OLD?????

check out her outfit... her cinderella skirt with boy flip flops to a purple shirt... oh and don't forget the toro towel....

I have decided that Abby is a typical three year old. Everytime we leave the house Abby has to take something with her whether it is a stuffed animal or a blanket to the other day she asked if she could take a shoe. The other thing she has started doing is asking if she can buy your stuff. She will say "Mommy can I buy your lipstick" see if she buys it then it is hers. The thoughts that run threw her little mind sometimes.

Makenzie is officially a water DOG!!!! We have spent most of the week at my mom and dads and Makenzie has spent that time in the pool. She has improved in her swimming tremendously in the last week. Abby is improving some she is not totally afraid of the water now LOL...

WEEKEND OF FUN!!!!

WEll lets begin with Friday we took the girls to Penn Station for dinner (we haven't been eating out so it was a nice treat) then we went to Nana and Papa's to visit since they are back from Arizona. Saturday we spent the morning cleaning the house (no not fun but part of the weekend) then we took the girls swimming at papaw's (I will post some pretty cute pictures later) then it was back to Nana and Papa's for cousin Quinn's birthday the girls had fun playing with their cousins. Well then Sunday we visited Landmark (this is the church my parents are going to) then it was off to Aunt Micki's for Lunch or Lunner depending on how you look at that. Well after a couple of hours of playing with cousin Morgan it was back to Papaw's for some more fun swim time (ok now I have some pretty cool pictures to post later) then it was home for some much needed rest...........

KINGS ISLAND/FAMILY VACATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so I know it has been awhile again since I last blogged. Not much has gone on or I guess alot has gone on depends on how you look at it. Well we took this week off work as a family fun time around Ohio. Well we worked Monday and then we were off. Well Tuesday we took the girls over to my mom and dads and they went swimming Makenzie is a water dog.... Abby well she could take it or leave it. My sister Pam and my niece Payton came over we grilled Steaks for dinner and had a nice time. Then Tuesday we took the girls to Bob evans for breakfast and then to Kings Island and it was pretty crowded but we headed over to the water park and Makenzie again the water dog was going down slides and just having a blast. Dan took her out into the wave pool and he said he took her pretty far out (mind you she had a life jacket on) and Makenzie rode the waves. He said she did pretty good she didn't want him holding onto her. So Abby and I got an ice cream Abby was ready to go ride some rides. So we then headed over to the kiddy area got them some lunch (they get pretty crabby when they need to eat) then we went to the rides. Makenzie loves roller coasters she made me ride the "big" roller coaster 2x

with her and then we even road the avatar. After the Avatar mommy was actually tired of riding rides (not a typical day for mommy) but the girls went and rode some more rides and then we got them some blue ice cream. Then it was home for a shower and some much needed down time. Today we are taking it easy............................
