It's a HOT one, baby!

The kids were out almost all day with the hose.It was like 90 degrees this afteroon! They had a blast!
I went to the greenhouse and picked up some begonia's and Blue moon plants for our planters on the front porch. It is looking lovely with all of my new plants from Mother's Day and my birthday. Now all I need to do is give the porch a fresh coat of paint and it will be my little paradise in the city! It has become my favorite spot to take pictures!


I am a lucky girl because I get to look at this every day.




You can tell that my daughter is getting closer to her pre-teenage years. It seems I can't get her to crack a smile for nuttin'!




A hot "summer" day isnt' a hot "summer" day unles you have some ice cream going on!

This weekend is jammed. Part of me wishes it wasn't but the other part of me is realizing that this is just part of how summer goes. I suppose I forgot after the long winter. Tonight is Women's Bible study. These are the best - the lesson is always ust what you need to hear, the company is the best, and the food is delicious!
TOmorrow I am joining a couple of friends for a barbeque and maritini's. I am not a drinker so this ought to be interesting. I haven't let loose in a while so I figure it's well deserved good clean fun- 'cept for the martini part. Ah, it could be worse, right?

Sunday is a big day. I haven't been to a church service in a long, long time. I am going to get my lazy butt up and go- and I know it's going to be good because it always is.

Monday is the church Memorial Day picnic. We have it every year and it's always the best way to begin summer. The kids always have a blast too. So this I know is the best time to get back on track with my faith and beack into the good habit of going to church every week. I know that the kids miss it and that makes me feel so bad. I know that the only way to make it right is to go back. I'm so glad that our Lord is a firgiving Lord and that His house is always open.

I hope to take many pics of the weekend!

Today I ordered the SIS TV Kelly Crowe collection. At first I wasn't sure if I loved it enough to buy it. BUT the Jeanette linked up some of the! wonderful LO's and Kelly's interview which totally changed my mind. The inspiration totally bought me and I had to prder before they sold out! I am stoked to get this baby! Wilna is rockin the KC Collection!

ALSO, SoML kits are going up for sale onthe first. I am hoping that Sara can hook a sister up and let me preorder so I KNOW I will be getting it. I am sure there will be a race for this one. So sure that I'm not even going to spill the beans about what's in it! lol You have to go and see for yourself. But remember, I am only saying this because I want to make sure I get one before you do!

Oh, and if anyone was wondering how things turned out at Memory Creators with the kit issues, I did end up gettign a refund after being toldon May 10th that my kits were shipped. I called the store yesterday and was told that they were being shipped today. What a joke huh? So I am done and over all that business. There are better kit clubs out there anyhow.
So after all that back and forth stuff, I ended up geting what I wanted. It was such a waste of my time and energy. I wish she had just refunded me in the beginning of it all.

So to end this post on a happy note I just want to say thanks for visiting me and have a wonderful, safe, and relaxing weekend
