Time Flys!

It really is amazing how fast time fly's when your having fun. I had a couple of days off of work last week and I took advantage. I kept myself so busy that I didn't even take the time to update my blog let alone look at it. My friend Kim has been in town for the summer so we got together for dinner with a few other friends (Amy, Jill and Melissa) and enjoyed spending some time together. I only get to see Kim once a year so we always have a lot to catch up on. Kim is also my hair stylist so when she moved my hair took a drastic change for the worst. I only get to love my hair once a year now. Thank you Kim for the cut and color. I LOVE it!

It's been a while since I have been able to see my kids participate in any extra curricular activities since I work full time but with some time off I was able to go to Ballet, Soccer and tumbling. I absolutely loved it and wish I could do it more. I can't believe how much more advanced Shay is getting with ballet and the skills Britton is picking up at his soccer clinic amazes me.







It's so fun to be home with the kids during the day. We get so much accomplished and we get to have fun too. We went swimming a couple of times. We haven't been for a while and the kids have really gotten behind. They are not the best swimmers so this is something that I want to try to do more often because they absolutely love it.

We have also done a lot of bike riding and roller skating, yard work and house work. Tyler and I sanded down and re-painted the trim of the exterior doors. It looks very nice. Now if I could just get my walls done. I even got domestic and made Apricot jam, Apricot fruit leather and Apricot bread.
Tyler plays soccer on Thursday nights, last Thursday Tyler had a late game so I let the kids stay up late with me. We listened and danced to music, played JR monopoly and watched fire works from our back porch. We had the perfect view, it was awesome. I loved that we didn't have to drive anywhere or deal with crowds.


We did our own fireworks in front of our house on Friday night to celebrate the 24th. It wasn't quite the display we got the night before but it was still a lot of fun.

I love being a full time Mom, I wish I could do it all the time. Although it's probably better for the kids this way. If I was with them all day everyday I don't think I would be the happy fun Mom I was this passed week.

I guess we always wish for what we don't have.....It was a good week/weekend!
