Sucks!!!

What a LONG night last night!!!  My 5 yr old was literally BORN sucking her thumb.  She has that thing in her mouth, almost 24/7 really...we've been trying to get her to drop the habbit since she was 3, but it's not as easy as simply taking away a pacifier (which neither of my kids ever took, TG).  She starts kindergarten in a couple mos and I found this stuff on the internet...so yesterday before camp, I applied one coat to both of her thumbs and sent her off to camp!  Seemed uneventful when I asked how her day went...but then at 2am, I hear her gagging and sobbing...apparently she put her thumb in her mouth and got a big taste of that nasty stuff and was gagging...crying...needing water.  She sobbed because she said it was so hard NOT to automatically put her thumb in her mouth!  This went on and off for over 30 mins., so needless to say I'm a zombie...coffee is on the agenda next!!!  One application lasts 2 days, so she is stuck with it for another night...I'm hoping like every other hard habbit to break, that each day will get easier...Stay tuned! 

AMERICAN GIRL!

FINALLY....Haylee got her American Girl Doll...she's only been asking me for one since she was 5 years old!  I just had a hard time shelling out $95 DOLLARS for a DOLL!!!  But, I felt she was old enough to respect the doll and appreciate it!  Now she has all these accessories picked out, so they can match clothes, etc...OY!

Happy Birthday, Jim and Haylee!

Her fave part of the day was having Mister Softee come to her house, especially for HER...the whole neighborhood was awarded free treats!~

Justin Bieber Mania...she got a TON of JB stuff!

Her FAV place to shop!

A very HOT...HOT...HOT day!!!  We had a moon bounce and a water slide but it was still too hot to be outside...kids were troopers and played outside majority of the time...Thank you to all my friends and fam that came out to help celebrate this happy day!  Happy birthday to J&H!

HALLELUJAH , (shrek song)

One of my FAV songs...EVER!

Collin's 7th birthday!

Another fun bd to celebrate...tons of food, drinks, water slides, bouncy, and just plain fun with family!!

Jam Band

Last Tuesday (July 13th), Staci, Chris and kids came over for a bbq at my house...the kids put on a lil' show for us...they jammed to Justin Bieber, of course...Gav was the light man...:)

Picnic!

HOT-HOT-HOT ...Sunday, after washing my car, and cooling off with the hose, it was just too hot to even sit on the grass for a decent picnic...the grass felt like sharp needles...so the girls chose the side walk...this was short lived...just too humid to be outside, so in they came!

Girls' Beach w/e (July 9, 2010)

POOL!!!  First thing we do when we get to hotel Friday at noon, lay out by pool, lunch on wraps!!!After pool we head to Taco Toss!!!!

Another AWESOME w/e with awesome friends!!!  It did rain on Saturday for the first part of the day, so we went shopping...then hit Naylu for an awesome lunch...then we got ready for JAM...rain stopped just in time for us to go there.  I definitely ate more pizza this w/e than I ever have...and my darn camera died Friday night, so luckily Raegan had her camera so she let me take pics for JAM with her camera...they are posted on FB!  Sunday was gorgeous, so we ate brunch at Starboard, then got a late ck out and hit the beach...Thank you ladies for a FUN time...can't wait for next year!!!!!

July 4, 2010

Thank you Milyos for hosting yet another wonderful 4th of July party...awesome time!!

Just Sayin'....

No pics (forgot my camera), but I thought I'd blog about my day so far!  With Haylee sick with the fever virus for 2 days, we prayed she would recover soon enough to enjoy some of this awesome weather!  She awoke Saturday with no fever and remained fever free all day, but we didn't want to take that for granted, so she remained indoors and in her PJ's majority of the day. 

I felt bad for Ash who was not sick, so once Jim got back from golfing, Ash and I hit the pool for a few hours, and had a great time...then home for showers and off to get new kicks for everyone.  Then we decided since Haylee 'seemed' ok, why not take advantage and eat OUT and enjoy the weather...so off to Chesapeake Inn we went.  GREAT time..we sat outside, enjoyed some frozen drinks and good munchies/meals, then a short walk to get ice cream outside watching all the beautiful brides enjoying the most perfect wedding day ever...just gorgeous!!!!  Makes ya wanna get married all over again (this time a SUMMER wedding, thank you!)

So Haylee still is fever free...me thinks we'll be able to hit Staci's big July 4th party afterall...YAY!!!!

HAPPY JULY 4TH!!!!
