Sometimes...........

Sometimes I wash a load of laundry 4 times before actually getting it in the dryer.

Sometimes I eat to much chocolate.

Sometimes I sit at the computer to long during the day.

Sometimes I just do not feel like doing the dishes.

Sometimes I buy my kids fast food so I don't have to listen to them whine in the car.

Sometimes I stay in my PJ's all day, I may change right before Justin gets home :)

Sometimes I wish I could move.

Sometimes I wish I could work so I could have some extra spending money to spend on myself.

Sometimes I don't think about how truly blessed I am and

Sometimes I marvel at how much I have in this life.

Sometimes I wish I could hold my kids all day and never let them go!

Sometimes I go to Wal-Mart just to get out of the house.

Sometimes I spend to much at Wal-Mart, it's a conspiracy I tell ya!

Sometimes I can't wait until my kids go to bed and it's just me and the hubby watching a movie.

Sometimes I just like to be by myself and think.

Sometimes I wish I was famous and rich.

Sometimes I don't.

Sometimes..............

When it's to hot outside to cook or do anything!

I stay inside and sew!

I finally made a couple of bags that I have had on my mind, for ever!

This one I took my time and it turned out great, large bag with large pockets. I even did a little quilting on the front and back, also lined it real good so it's nice and sturdy.
The pockets are even lined.

This one is a huge bag, I changed the handles to be these braided ones. the pattern didn't have you line it with anything, so I didn't, and now I wish I did. Just have to make another one I guess.

Its nice and works well it's just very floppy all over the place!

Monkey MJ

He's at that age! Into everything, making messes and climbing up any and everything! All my kids have climbed, but he takes the cake for being the highest and fastest, this kid can scurry up the pantry shelves, climb up the stools in the kitchen and on to the counters, and his latest thing is going into the bathroom, climbing onto the very top of the stool(which you can see in the picture) and turning on the water, if I here water running I know it's him in the bathroom. So we have a rule for the other two to keep the bathroom and pantry doors closed! Crazy child, he's only 14 months! But he is #3 and has 2 examples ahead of him!

I can't wait.....

Until I'm 8, for then I'll be baptized you see.

Zander was looking at the program and was telling his Grandma that his name was not on there, and the he said " Well, when I get baptized my name will be in there".

Her little table.

My three beautiful children!

The Classic!

We had a little lucheon at or house afterwards and the dessert was white donut holes, her favorite and they were white!

The whole Family!

We had a very special day with our little girl getting baptized. It's such a sweet exprience to watch you child go through.

We have been caught up in the storm which is summer, not real storms cause we haven't seen any in forever, were in a bad drought actually.

Justin's youngest brother came in to town with his 3 kids and we had a blast hanging out with them, having BBQ almost every night and lots and lots of swimming in our 100 degree weather we've had. Justin had the whole week off so that was great for us, hanging out with dad all the time. Instead of going on vacation we did a stay-cation and did lots of stuff around here, like bowling and the river and did I say swimming? We got the pool in the nick of time!

Every Saturday seems to bring lots of things to do, this Saturday is Annalyses Baptism(yikes!) I cant believe I have a child old enough to be Baptized! I am so getting old fast!

We also have birthdays like crazy, my children are May, June, July, me July, Justin August pulse 3 other family birthdays in August, so we have been a little party crazy to! I like it though, thinking of different things to do for the party's

Summer is just whizzing by, next thing I know it Will be time to go school shopping!
