More pics.....from our White Pine week




Beautiful sunset. Girls collecting rocks from the water. Girls roasting marshmallows by the fire.

I'll try to add a few more pictures.....



Adasen and Ida with their butterfly "Flutter." Flutter stayed with the girls for several days. When we were gone Flutter was gone. When we were outside, Flutter showed up and hung out. Flutter even drank home made nectar from my hand. It was so cool to watch!

So I tried to add pictures.......



but it only allowed me to add one and it put it at the bottom of the blog..... so obviously I have to work on this some more. I have hundreds (literally) of pictures to share. I would of course condense but I'd at least like to add ten or twenty. LOL Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Please...

Well, I just added two more pictures to this blog entry. One is of my girlies Adasen and Ida and the other is of Parker with his authentic Sombrero and Mexican blanket. He bargained for these while he was vacationing in Mexico this summer with his Papaw.

Anyway, back to my original question....... I still need help with the pictures. LOL I'm a dork.

It's Friday.....

only three days left of freedom after today and then it's back to work and school. Then it's religion classes, football, dance, guitar, lots of homework..... and all of the fun things that come with this time of year. I hate to wish any days away but I was already looking in my planner to see when our next time off will be.... we have two days off in October! I'm so bad.....

I'm back......

It has been a busy week and a half! Greg and I celebrated 14 years of marriage on the 20th. We took the kids up to Michigan on the 19th so Greg's parents could watch them for us. We just wanted a few days to ourselves (well, we still had to care for the dogs, the fish, and the hamster. The snake was ok. LOL) to hang out and be a couple.

We took in a few movies. Stepbrothers has terribly crude humor but my goodness we laughed so hard. The entire movie had us in stitches.

We ate an amazing restaurant in Green Bay called Hinterland. The menu was beyond anything I had ever seen in my life. Well, except on Chef Gordon Ramsey's show, Hell's Kitchen. The food itself was unbelievable! Greg and I never tasted so many wonderful flavors and each complimented the next. It was an amazing dining experience that we will treasure for a very long time.

Greg and I did a lot of little things but we laughed and we talked....and we held hands. It was so refreshing to have that time together. We are already looking ahead to next August!!

This week has been filled with last minute school errands, an interview for my daycare, and lots of organizing! I'm tired...... and school starts in a few short days?? Goodness, where did my summer go? It was over in the blink of an eye.

The kids are all played out and they are ready to get back to the school routine. It's a welcomed change at least for the first week or two. LOL

Yummy!

I just had spicy roll sushi and fish dumplings for supper. The wasabi paste really gives it the zinngggg that I love so much!

Tomorrow is our big day! We are taking the kiddos up to MI (1 1/2 hours away) to spend time with their Grandparents so that Greg and I can have some much needed couple time!! Our 14th wedding anniversary is on Wed.

We have reservations at a nice restaurant in Green Bay (Hinterland). We also plan to take in a few movies, to catch a comedy show at The Comedy Cafe, to do some walking on the Ave, and to get smoothies (soooo healthy)!

I'm just excited to have some alone time with my MAN!! LOL

If the house is a rocken', don't come a knocken'! LMSO!

Oh my goodness....

I forgot that I have been blogging. No kidding. I have been checking everyone else's blogs and keeping up to date on their life's happenings but I've neglected to blog about my own. LOL I tell ya', I do have natural blond highlights. :0)

We had friends visiting today from Bonduel (about 45 minutes away). We normally only see them twice a year but when we do get together, it's wonderful! My friend Lynn is a Christian and she always makes me hunger to be closer to God when she's around. She is so positive and she always makes me smile. I love her.

Her daughter and son did not want to leave when it was time to go and that made me feel good.

It took me eight hours to thoroughly clean yesterday (vacuumed vents, ceiling fan, baseboards, etc....) and it was so nice to just enjoy the day and not worry about the way the house looked.

I feel refreshed!!!
