She's a monkey

Jayda loves standing up on the bar at the park. She fell at the park. She loves band-aids as you can see!

Funniest picture. She was looking over at Jayda.

Hayven peeking!!

Happy girl. She likes to put the rocks in her mouth.

Thrills with no chills

Wed Aug 26 Zach and I got a free day at Valleyfair thanks to Zach's boss! Last year only employees went. This year Each employee got the option to bring someone with them! Zach chose to bring me. How nice! Even though I don't ride the big rides he still chose to bring me!

This is us on the ferris wheel!

This is a picture of us on the train that drives around the park. It was quite a bumpy and rough ride.

This is Zach, Natalie and Phil.

This is Vicky, Sommer and I.

This is when we were in line for the scrambler.

It was such a fun day. Thanks to Kristi for keeping the girls ALL day! That was such a blessing. It was perfect weather-wise. Not hot at all! I did get burnt though. Oops!!

Garage sales

While Jayda and I were hanging out in the porch scrapbooking we heard an airplane.

Jayda: "hey I hear an airplane."
Mommy: "me too. Where do you think he is going?"
Jayda: "he's going to a garage sale."
Mommy laughed!!

Jayda: Hey I love you.
Mom: Hey I love you too.
Jayda: I love you too!
Mommy smiles!!

So I love garage sales. Jayda does too! It's my guilt-free way of shopping cause I'm very picky about how much I spend and what I buy at garage sales!! Who doesn't love good deals?! It's amazing how a 3 year old can make you cry and laugh all in one day!

Hayvens first time trying a sucker. Gotta love free suckers from the bank.


Jayda got to swat a mosquito pinata this past weekend. She thought it was pretty cool, yet freaky at the same time.


Hayven and Murphy! Phil and Vicky's new dog.


Sign of a rough weekend.

Our backyard...is blooming. It's so nice to finally have some more colors instead of just green. I figured I better snap some pictures before the flowers disappear.
