Getting ready for our Garage/yard sale..

So Sat. morning we got up early ready to get things done because we knew it was gonna be a hot one!! Well I cleaned the house (only to get it dirty again) Rob was in the basement cleaning out his tools and putting things away that were still packed away from 2 years ago.. Yes I know basements are natorious for collecting things!!! Believe me I have things from YEARS AGO!!! AHHH the memeories.. hahaha Pictures and things that we find through the shuffle.. Any who.. so Then My sister calls to tell me she is coming down to go through Ryleighs old clothes for her little one Hayden who will be 2 this year.. Its a good thing we all have girls!! Lots of hand me downs and of course personal favorites that have been handed down and down 2 more times from when Makenna (who is 10) was little.. Then of course we all sat around and had lunch. They left at 2pm then my little brother shows up (so much for work HUH) him and his girlfriend stayed for about an hour.. Then Finally I asked Rob you

This past weekend..

This weekend was my weekend I dedicated to cleaning out my basement!! What a task that was.. this is almost 11 years of things accumulated and believe me its A LOT!!! When we moved from King 2 years ago we kinda just stuck everything back in this room and said forget about it.. So Saturday morning Rob and I went down and tackled this monster.. the reason behind this is we are having a yard sale in a couple weeks and its gonna be a HUGE yard sale.. I have got my storage area down to like 5 bins of "memorable things" 1 wall of holiday items (christmas, halloween, easter, ect.) and Makenna's clothes that she has grown out of I have saved so I can go through them for Ryleigh when she is able to wear them.. Thank God I saved these things because Ryleigh has worn alot of hand me downs that look like they havent even been worn!! so anyway I can acually see the floor in the 20x16 room that now I can actually walk in and stand in the middle and see NOTHING sitting there..

Easter!!

We had a great Easter weekend.. My niece Justice turned 8 on the 13th so we celebrated her b-day Easter Sunday as well! We had a great time!! the whole family got together.. Every year we have an Easter egg hunt at my moms for the girls.. Well and now Beau but he is still little.. so this year it was all the girls.. My mom and Bobby hid 200 eggs with $$ and Candy in them 32 Dollars worth... the golden egg has $10 and the silver egg had $5 and then a bunch of ones.. The adults are not allowed to help.. Hayden the youngest got 1 min before then the 2 4 yrs olds got 30 seconds more then the 2 big girls Makenna and Justice get to go!! and its a MAD DASH!!! of course all the parents are on the top deck yelling out where the eggs are to there children!! LOL We joke that we need to have an adult egg hunt because I think the adults get more excited about it than the kids do!! So after the kids give up we count eggs and $$ and of course there are eggs left and like 3 dollars still out

A day at the Zoo.. April 4th..

So a couple Saturdays ago it was a beautiful day around 77 degrees so we decided to take the girls back to the Zoo again this year.. Yes we love the Zoo and Daddy got to tag along this year.. We had a great TIME!!! We also got to see all the new Giraffes!! Last year that was the one thing Ryleigh wanted to see and they weren't there.. so this year I took LOTS of pictures.. Can you tell my girls like there picture taken!! haha

Update on my skin Cancer..

Ok so I went back to the Dermatologist and had the lesion cut out it was not pleasant experience by any means!!! But she got it all out that is great!! I had to walk around with sticks in my head right at my temple but all in all it didnt bother me one bit.. people stared yes but who cares!! this is my health.. Im just glad it was only Basal Cell and nothing worse!!! Thank you GOD!! So now all my stiches are out.. I have a scar but I go back next Friday and she is going to laser it off for free.. so NO Scar!! Yippie.... Im glad this is all over and pray nothing else pops up!!

A day in the Park..

So we have a little park around the corner from our house that I have been to many many years ago I think I was like 12 or 13 last time I have been here to we thought since it was such a beautiful day we would venture out to see how things have changed and have a picnic in the park.. It was nice but no swings.. Oh well we had a great time anyway!!!

A little family Picnic..

So one of the days that it was really nice out we cooked out on the grill and sat outside to eat our lunch that day!! The girls love this they are such nature lovers... Rob grilled chicken wings.. WE LOVE CHICKEN WINGS.. normally we fry them but this day he grilled them!! They are GREAT this way!! its our new way of eating them now and better for you as well not fried in the oil.. you will see Makenna had them all over her face.. I had to take a picture.. Our Family has now cut out all red meats and pork from out diets.. We now only eat Turkey, Chicken and fish..
