This time I mean it!

So, we just went to a wonderful wedding of my nephew, Paul, and had a great time with the family...but, after looking back at the pictures, I realiaze how big I have gotten....and it sucks! I don't like the way I look at all...So we went to the market today and bought lots of fruits and veggies to snack on. I also want to start trying to jog at night after dinner...I thought the girls can ride their bikes, and I can jog behind them with Max in the stroller. I mean it this time...I have to do something about this weight! I am kinda feeling like the odd man out in my family...everyone is so little, and then there is me...well, I will keep you all updated on the progress, and would accept any suggestions!!

A Hairdresser, I am not!

So, the other day Matt asked me to cut his hair. I laughed. Are you serious? I have never cut anyone's hair before, not even bangs! He insisted, how hard can it be? So, we found a pair of clippers on sale, and away I went...I mean, we could save a lot of money if i cut Matt's and Max's hair every month right? Well......turns out, its a lot harder than it looks!! I did ok with the buzzing the back and middle..then it came time to clean up the sides, and opps! Let's just say he ended up looking like lyod christmas from dumb and dumber....he went to a salon to get it fixed, and took max with him to get his haircut...probably thought I would try the clippers out on him next!!

Mckenzie's 11 birthday party

What a great birthday party we had for Mckenzie's 11th birthday! We had a backyard carnival. We set up games such as, Lucky Ducks (you pick a duck with a star on the bottom from a pool), Ring toss (throw a shower curtain ring over pop bottles), a tatoo and face painting booth, a fortune teller booth (a bowl of fortune cookies) a bowling table, and a ball toss (we threw footballs threw the tire swing). We made carnival food, hotdogs, popcorn, nachos, cotton candy, and snow cones! All the kids got clown noses to put on for a picture at the end.....all the kids had a great time!!
Pictures to follow soon!

Maddie's big month!

Well, it has been a very busy few weeks for a certain little 5 year old! My big girl has graduated from preschool (tear;) They did such a great job with the little ceremony...they sang a few songs, signed a few songs, and each got their diplomas! Maddie was a little sad about leaving, but she is really looking forward to kindergarden. Her other big thing was her dance recital! She had 2 numbers, a jazz on and a ballet one. She was right on top of things, and knew those dances!! What a great time we have had these last few weeks!
