Days and Nights mixed up!!

Days are fun here in Florida!

Sarah would live in the pool, if she could!
Molly loves to ride her scooter!
She really flies on this little thing!
She goes with reckless abandon... then lifts the leg behind her and coasts!
Then starts the pumping all over again until...
this happens! No worries, she gets right back on!
The girls have their first salamander, named Lindsay!
See her?
Sarah and Molly will take good care of her during the day then set her free at night! Sarah is not going to write the name on the cage since " I will be catching so many, right Meme?"
I shopped all day for new bedding, paint colors and bathroom items! When I got home the girls and I headed to Iguana Mia's for dinner.
We were wondering why Molly Carolyn was so whiny?
She felt better when we finally got our table!
Molly loves to color the menus!
Sarah was happy to see they had Corn Dogs! Little mini ones!!
Papa called while we were at dinner. He was surprised to hear we were at a restaurant at 8 pm.... So were we!! HA! We had just sat down! We had no idea it was so late!

The manager gave the pretty little girls some flowers to take home with them!

We were all in bed by 10! The drive is catching up to us! I was up at 3~ Hopefully tonight will be better!

Happy Birthday to Roxi~ we have a fun night planned with her and Rick!

Cannon Ball Run!

Get Ready... Start running!

Mommy and Sarah first!
Splash!!
Molly is next... 1 2 3 JUMP!

" Swimming is so much fun", says Sarah Rose!

I swore I NEVER would do it again...

We picked Sarah up at school at 3:15 on Friday and we were off!
Winter jackets and all... heading for sunny Florida! The girls were excited to "Hit the yoad", as Molly says! The ride wasn't bad at all. The girls settled in and did art work, watched movies, snacked out, more art work, and read some books.

Around 9 pm, this is what we saw in the back seat..
Beckie started driving. I napped too! The plan was to drive till 1 am then stop at hotel till 7 am and hit the road again. I started driving again at 12:30 and just kept going. I was WIDE AWAKE~ I woke Beckie at 4 am and said "We are going all the way baby!" She took the wheel again and we just switched every 4 hours the rest of the way! Something I swore I would NEVER do again.
The sun came up and we were so happy to tell the girls we were almost to Florida!!
Once on 1-75, Sarah and Molly started watching the mile markers... looking for exit 123!
Boy, were we excited to see that sign! 22 hours later.
They could hardly wait to get to the house and jump in the pool!

Will we make it? Stay tuned!

Meme's Big Sleepover!

I am at Beckie's house having a big sleepover with Molly and Sarah! We are hitting the road tomorrow for Florida! We are so excited!! Sarah, Molly and Mommy walked to the bank this afternoon...
Oh the joys of small town living. I am standing on their front porch and they have to only walk two blocks to the red building in picture... the bank!

Sarah wanted everyone to meet S0phy! Spelled the Sarah way!
She is a lovable little bunny!
So cuddly and sweet!
Sophy loves to run around the kitchen,
but she really loves to be held the most!Girls have joined 4 H and she is their first project!!

Meanwhile, back in Van Wert, little Mya has sent a video! Mya does something funny when she sees others eating! Listen for Mommy and Cayden asking her if she is hungry! I think she is!!

Happy 6 Months!

It is hard to believe but true...

Layla Lynn is 6 Months Old!
She is mighty precious!
Simply adorable!
Her birthday mate, Levi is celebrating too!
Happy 6 months little darlings! I borrowed pictures of Miss Layla Lynn here! Photo of Mr. Levi Andrew sent courtesy of his momma, Mel! Thanks for sharing!

Sarah, Molly, Cayden, Mya and Layla~

Look what is waiting for us!
Doors will be open and ready for our CANNON BALL RUN into the house, thru the house, out the doors into the ~ POOL... with all our clothes on!
Are you ready? It's a tradition!

Let's just take our shoes off ~

ok?

It's getting harder and harder...

to get this girl to pose for my camera!!

Sarah... look at Meme,
Sarah...
Oh great. Not the look I am going for girlfriend! Sarah... just smile!
That's it.... almost!
Now, this is what I am talking about Sarah Rosie!

Sarah: I love you Meme.

Meme: I love you more Sarah.

Thanks for the fun sleepover! Hey, friends, if you are looking for a good kids movie, check out Horse Crazy! We watched this movie and LOVED every minute! You will too!

Should they have named her....

Helga or Heidi?

My Layla looks like she could be from Sweden or Germany... ADORABLE!

Florida Update!

Dave is has been a busy guy in Florida! He has been finishing the master bath. He set the cabinet in and put the two mirrors up to be able to get the electrical work done. The question here is two mirrors or one big one?
I cannot wait to get down there and see the finished bathroom in person! The shower glass was installed yesterday... Dave ordered a large cabinet for over the toilet. He installed the cabinet and did all the plumbing. Plumbing is his least favorite thing to do. Monday was not a good day for Dave~ but my jack of all trades always gets the job done! I love the sleek, modern look of the shower!

It looks so great!

The master bedroom got new carpet and Dave painted all the trim and doors. Walls in bath and bedroom will be painted when I am there...just have to decide on color. What a change without the dark carpet we originally put in the bedroom!!

A new comforter and lamps will finish it off!

I love it~ Dave! Thanks for working so hard at it! Now bring home the big golf win this weekend at the Invitational! Good luck!
