...that I'm on here again! I am getting into the swing of summer and finally getting organized around here! yee haw! - yeah, that's the Polk County coming out in me! ;P
We are going on vacation soon to Sanibel Island. Can't wait. A vacation for us is overdue. Bought way too much fun stuff for the trip- new sand toys, new chairs, new towels, new clothes, new movies! LOL FUN FUN! I just downloaded the 
typepad application on my iPhone, so I hope to upload some pics from it while we are actually ON vacation to here. We'll see if I'm tech savvy enough to do it!
Eager for my BF Carrie to move back to the USA here at the end of this month. She has been over in the UK for the last two years. Once she is settled in her new diggs, I plan on visiting ASAP! I know she'll miss the UK, but I'm selfishly sooooo glad to have her back here - even if she is going to be in Indiana!
Finally made a BIG dent in the blackhole of our garage again. It just gets filled up sooo quickly w/ junk & constantly needs to be cleaned out & organized. It feels so wonderful to be rid of the burden of clutter. There is this website that I like: www.flylady.com She says that clutter is like C.H.A.O.S. (can't have anyone over syndrome!) & it is so true!! If you've never checked out the site, you should. Tons of great tips on there for everything!
Calli just got finished playing golf for the summer. She is going to miss it. She was really getting to be quite the golfer. I am going to have to schedule time for her and Tony to go out each week to at least hit balls. She was up to playing 9 holes a week w/ practice. Not too bad for her first year & being 7. She is also eager to start up tennis. She played a little last week at a mini camp, but not a great deal of instruction I don't believe.
Lorelei's 5th birthday is tomorrow. I am very excited. So is she of course! She is really into HSM, so we got her some of that stuff. We also got her the new "Fancy Nancy" doll, her dog, and the clothes w/ matching dress-up clothes. She just loves those books. We got her a few games to go w/ the Nintendo DS that her grandma & grandpa are giving her for her bday as well. She will be happy to have her own as she is always borrowing her sister's, Tony's or mine! LOL - yes, Tony & I love our DS's too! :) VERY addictive!
Jake is finally potty trained!!! Yippee!! Now if we can just get him to put his underware back ON afterwards, we'd be good to go for preschool this fall! :) Soon, soon I think. Otherwise his teacher will have a streaker on her hands! He still isn't potty trained thru the night, but I'm not worried about that at all.
Going to try to do some scrapbooking soon! Just got my new Shakerbox Monthly kit, so I think I'll be taking that along w/ me on my trip & maybe my portable printer? LOL Yes, pathetic scrapper I am!
Hope you all have a great weekend!! Check back for my vaca pics & more!
