Super Duper Excited!!!

I just finished booking our first Walt Disney Resort trip for this fall!!! We were going to wait until the new year, but the free dining nudged us a bit! It will be beans and rice for the next four months and this mama isn't getting that dining room set, but I think that the fun we will have will outweigh formal seating (sorry future dinner guests- a card table will be fine!). We will be dining at the castle and meeting lots of characters and I am so excited I could BURST! I hope you all will not get sick of my Disney babble over the next few months...

Madeline and books

Madeline takes after her mommy and LOVES to read! She has over 60 books in her room and can read to herself for hours when she is supposed to be sleeping. I checked on her last night and this is what I saw.

July 4th

We had a great time this past weekend celebrating the 4th and Lukie's birthday with Matt's family. I was exhausted though and took a three hour nap yesterday, which I never do! Luke missed everything! He slept through the local fireworks and our own. Maybe next year. Oh, and we only had one sparkler injury.

Happy 2nd Birthday Luke!

Yesterday was Luke's birthday and I can not believe how fast the last two years have passed. He was really unexpected, but he truly completes our family. I am so blessed that he is here! Happy birthday baby boy!

Eight Years and Counting

Yesterday was our wedding anniversary and we celebrated by Matt working and I painted the master bath. I stink at painting so it took me hours and I left an inch and half on the top for Matt to do because I kept hitting the ceiling. Last night we watched a stupid movie (Hot Tub Time Machine- not worth renting, but Michael it is a little funny) and had take out. Today we are shopping for new bathroom fixtures and towels. I do not think that we have had NICE towels since our wedding and I still have a lot of ratty towels from our wedding. I was also presented a bouquet of gerber daisies and those were my wedding flower from Sam's, which is where we bought all of our flowers- great prices!

What a week!

My kids had the best week ever! Birthday party on Tuesday, zoo play date on Wednesday, pool play date on Thursday, and Toy Story 3 on Friday!!! In the midst of this week Luke and Madeline got nasty fevers and Luke has an annoying persistent cough that I had a few weeks ago.

I have been working on the chairs for about ten minuets a day- LOL. I have all the piping finished and today I hope to get some of the sewing pieces finished. I am just doing a little at a time because there is no rush.

I am going to be painting the master bath this week in a darker shade of gray than our bedroom and I am on the mission for new towel holders. We have one lousy towel bar and it is just not working and some new towels!!! Matt and I will be celebrating 8 years this week and we are still using towels that we received as wedding gifts! Time to move on... with new towels that is!

Dad's Day

Was pretty uneventful. We had lunch at the Roadhouse and played Super Mario Bros for hours! I even played and my thumbs HURT! Here are the pictures that the kids took as a surprise for Daddy.
