Random thoughts

You may have noticed I haven't been posting very much. I know you've probably missed my insights and revelations terribly (ha). I go through spells where I just can't put a good thought together... KWIM? (I learned that from my fellow blogger friend Anita yesterday).

So here are some things rattling around in my brain...

Summer is coming. We have kind of a wacky schedule because Alex is in year around school and Connor will be traditional (middle school) hard to believe. We are looking forward to Caitlyn (our neice) coming on the 24th and Tamara, Mike and Lila on July 1st. We get to meet our precious Lila for the first time! We are counting the days.. literally because Alex keeps asking "how many days?"





The boys don't get out of school for another week and a half or so but we are already feeling in summer mode. We haven't done our nightly reading in several days and we've been letting the boys stay up later...

BASEBALL, baseball and more baseball. We are into baseball now. Alex has it on M & W and Con T & TH through July. Yes, that's 4 nights of baseball in a row. They are just practicing right now. I am looking forward to the games but I have a feeling by the end of July we will be ready for it to be over.. then into Tackle Football mid August. (Makes my stomach hurt just typing that). I have to make peace with it. Pray for me :-)

We love our new little puppy Max but remember my blog about the PPB . I think I'm babied out. You heard it here first NO MORE BABIES... until I have grandchildren of course :p.





Well that's about all I have..

Have a wonderful Thursday!

A new addition...

We have a new addition to our family..

Meet Max



Mark, yes Mark felt like Skylar needed a playmate so we started looking and ended up bringing this little cutie home yesterday. He is an Italian Greyhound (IG) like Skylar. He is about 9 wks old. He is a couple of months younger than Skylar was when we brought her home.

Skylar checking him out

Wordless Wednesday (almost)

Did you just lick me??? Last May we went to the Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita, Kansas. We went up to pet the giraffes and this one LICKED me... it was a really gross feeling. Can you tell by the look on my face?

Things I do for me Monday...

I borrowed this cute little button from Anita over at A Wife, A Woman, A Mom I thought it was a good idea. Thanks Anita!

One of the things I do for me is exercise. I haven't been too consistant in the past, but for the past few weeks I've been going to the Rec Center 5-6 days a week.

First I do this for 30 minutes....



Then I do this for 30 minutes... (For security reasons, I used a body double in these pictures, I'm sure you understand)



But first and most importantly I go to the library and check out the latest magazines to read while I'm exercising... helps pass the time.





and then of couse I must have my little pink shuffle to keep me going... I need some new upbeat music for working out though.. any ideas?



A good comfy pair of these...



I know by now you see how high maintenance I am but I also must have one of these on hand..



So this is something I do for me and I feel so much better when I do!!
