sick times

Well our family has been through a rough week. My lovely daughter managed to get pneumonia, and I managed to follow suit. Well not the pneumonia but the sick part. Being 13 weeks Pregnant did not help matters. I was miserable, plus concerned for Trinity's well being. At almost 100% today I am going to try and take some me time and scrapbook. Before I do that I will post some pictures of the fun we still managed to have while being sick.

Wake up Parents

Why would anyone think this is okay for a7th grader to read? This is very disturbing to me. Please read this article if you are concerned about what is going on in their schools. I feel it is very important to get this out so that parents can be more aware of what they are putting onto your childrens hands for educational purposes.

What happens when ahusband takes a class.

Well it's official. My husband started a new semester. I didn't know what to do with the extra couple of hours so... We went to the park. We had a swing, and strolled along the park watching everything around us. Even Abby the Corgi got involved in the fun. Take a look.

My birthday

• This plaque reminds me of my mother!
• But my sister said it was me. :(
  

My birthday came and went. I won't scare anyone with my true age. I still like to think i am young at heart. It was a weekend filled with adventure, gifts, good food, and a special package sent from my sister. Sister's and mother's are great because they always know what you want and like. My hubby and I got to eat at a really good Italian restaurant in New Buffalo MI. Right on the lake. The plan was to go out for the sunset, but it rained instead. It was still worth the dinner and the walk along the beach.

Gifts

This is what I bought when
the best sister in the world
gave me money to just spend
on me!

LIFE IS GOOD!

After a season of depression, I wanted to remember that life is good. As i was explaining all my woos to my sister one day she decided it would be best to send me off on a shopping spree. I went on this wild goose chase around my area trying to find something just for me at these list of stores she gave me. With no luck because of price and out of business, i ended up at Jake's on the square. "Life is Good" I love all the stuff in there. I walked out with the cutest hat, and a great long sleeve t-shirt. Thanks sister for the adventure!

toes in water

Little girl had the adventure of sticking her toes in the lake. She didn't like it much, but have no fear because I made sure we worked on the issue of not liking water. She is in love with palying in the water now. If she is an Aurand girl she loves the water. More to come on that.

Father day Ryan's side.

Fathers day was a long day. We made a cookout, a visit to my parents, and then a trip up to the lake. It made for an interesting day of Photo's.
