vacation pictures!!

haley thought the bear was going to eat her!!

what trip wouldn't be complete without a stop at bass pro shop!!

gillian got to ride on a green quad, for pretend!!

the kids saw a shark in the fish tank!! it was about 4 foot long!!

after leaving the shop we headed out for some more antics...

here we are taking "A" shopping. we had fun while we waited

                              gillian fell on a campfire!! she was screaming "help i am on fire!!"

here is "A" and the bean in the park it is like a rocket ship thingy... they eventually got out of there

and before the trip was fully going, the bean made daddy queen for a day!!

we changed plans the night before the trip and instead of going to texas we went to KC. i took over 400 pictures and there are some cute ones i will add soon. i need to get to bed and then try to catch up on all my peeps tomorrow. oh our couch got delivered and it was ripped in the seams!! can you believe our luck?!?  now i don't know what we are going to do the only thing i know for sure is this horrible set is going back!! maybe we will live like hippies and get a bunch of bean bags to sit on!! 

enjoy the picks, doesn't my honey look cute?!?!?

Flash Fiction Friday- techno geeks

every friday write a short story of 55 words, no more no less

and report it to the g-man!

"do you twitter? do you tweet?

did you ever in your life,
think this would be sweet?
my space, face book two words or one?
does it matter when it's all for fun?
emails and blogging twitters or tweets
cyber space is full of new friends to meet.
days without blogging or tweets seem incomplete."

here you go g-man, hope i counted correctly. what do you think? too much technology out there to not play with some of it!!

so here is my gratitude list 5 things i am grateful for to keep me in today;
1. today i am grateful for microwave kettle corn, it is sweet crunchy and delicious, the kids love it too!
2. today i am grateful my gillian's hair is finally long enough to put into one pony tail!!
3. today i am grateful for my driving skills and that i am not an erratic driver.
4. today i am grateful that i was able to give away two cups of coffee, didn't have time to wait for them to be made, had a free coupon so i let someone else have my mocha. i made someones day.
5. today i am grateful i do not have to pay $5000 for braces for "A". she thinks her teeth are crooked, or have a space in them, the dentist said they could work on them but they did not need to, the price was way too high for just a cosmetic fix. i think she has a great smile, what do you think?

she is so self conscious, i am not sure where she gets her perfectionism from, but i know today
mom does not have to co-sign her insecurities. besides i think she has a magnificent smile. it's a good thing she doesn't read my blog or she would kill me if she saw her picture up here!! i am grateful she doesn't read my blog!!
