Happy birthday TJ!!

Well, we finally celebrated the last of our birthdays this past week. Our birthdays are January, February, April, May, June and July!!! Crazy, I know! So, TJ just had his 7th birthday. We had a magic show party for him and his friends. You know how whenever you do a party you invite more than what you think will come and expect half to show up? Well...we had 11 kids here!! Only 2 couldn't come! Can you believe it?!?! So, back to the Magic Party thing. My brother-in-law came as "Craig the Magnificent" to put on a magic show for the kids. He is so good...it's mind-boggling the tricks he can do. The kids (as well as the adults, his wife included!) were in awe! The kids had a great time. So, now I have a sweet 7-year old boy...who is about to be in 2nd grade. Time flies. He really is a sweet boy and is a big helper (most of the time) for his little sister. He brings so much joy to our family. I love you, my TJ!!!

Beach Fun!

We had a bonfire at the beach a few weeks ago. Sorry for posting so late. We went with the Armstrong family. It was a lot of fun! The kids loved going to the beach. My little one was a little afraid of the water...as you can see in the picture...she is the furthest away from the water! Daddy finally got her in though. We had a great time. We always like being together with family!!

Memory Tag...YOU'RE IT!!

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

No one has any memories of me??? How sad!! :-(

Oh my goodness!

I don't know what to do!! So I have been having issues with my 2-year old. When she has a #2 diaper, so loves to stick her finger in there and wipe it everywhere!! And, today, instead of taking a nap, she decided to fully unclothe herself...including the clean diaper. She is barely 2!! Is potty-training really the answer??? Already??? HELP!!

I'm A Twilight FAN!!

Well, I finally did it...I joined all the Twilight fans by reading the book!! Well, I'm not done yet, so don't say anything to spoil the end or any upcoming books, but I am totally hooked. I am surprising myself!! I LOVE this book! I NEVER read. I hated reading all those novels in High School. I did the bare minimum. I can't believe that I am dying to find time alone so that I can read! It's weird...those words coming out of my mouth!! Anyways, I love this book...it has definitely kept my attention. Can't wait to see the movie in December! How about you?
