Ok, so tomorrow is my BIRTHDAY!!!! And Jonathan took the day off...(well football is still in the picture)... but hey better than nothin' !
WE have been so busy putting our new floors in... And I love them! We decided to do the lamanent flooring.... It was supposed to be " easy".... Easier than what?! LOL... it is a good thing Jonathan is handy! I do love everything about them. And getting carpet out from under our table has been worth any amount spent!
Jon has been working like crazy lately... the trains keep rollin' in. So... I decided to do some work myself. :) Yeah I pulled all the carpet out of our kitchen, all the padding out and hammered all the tack things out...Pretty much I smelled like a man after I was done! But my husband was pretty impressed! (Not about the smell) :) I now appreciate all the work my husband does even more! ADVISE: Carpet is super heavy... risks include: Broken back, injuries from the tack nails, cursing, screaming, smelling like a sweaty man and death.... :) Don't say I didn't warn you!
That is pretty much all that is new in our house! If any one has any tips on how to get the dang floor to snap in better... let me know! We are almost done... I will post some pictures after it is all done!!!

Ok, so I am obsessed with taking pictures! And thanks to my favorite husband (smile) , I was able to put some of my favorites for everyone to see!
I know it sounds funny, but I really worked for like an hour or two to get pics on, and after I was about to throw the computer out the window, Jonathan helped and had them up in no time... You would think I could scan?!
Is any one as "not so smart" as I am? If you are, please let me know so that I don't feel so alone!

__________OK_________ So it has been awhile... I can't believe it is already August!!! My kids are now Four...Three... and eight months! Time is flying.
I just wanted to let everyone know that we had a great twenty fourth! It was so fun to see our friends and families! We also had J.T. 's and Avery's birthday party on that Saturday! It was a blast. I will put picks on when I get them on the computer!
AND....the most important news of August....drum roll..........FOOTBALL!!! Jon is getting excited. We should have a pretty good team. Jonathan's first meeting was today... Oh boy... here we go. This is the season where we see the least of him. Well... at least at home.... If we want we can go to the field and find him!!! :) This is a fun time... Hopefully everyone will have time to come watch some games this year!
Is anyone excited but me?

J.T. and Avery will both have a birthday this month! They will be FOUR and THREE... HOLY COW... where has the time gone?
I hope these next four years go by a little slower.
Here is a picture of my monsters from today... and yes this was the best one!!

It's amazing how you can love someone so much it actually hurts...

Alright... I know I stink at blogging!! We have been super busy... We put sod in (ya I am pretty sure Jon killed the grass we planted on purpose) But we love the sod! It's been a week and a half and it's still alive: that's good right?
If anyone has put sod down and has any info on how to take good care of it... let me know please!!
We are headed to Roosevelt Lake for a week on Monday. Our kids are so excited! We shouldn't have told them until the day before because now they ask a million times a day "mommy are we going to the lake now?"........Oh to be a kid and have the magic......... We have been packing and i just know I am bound to forget something important. ( I usually do) Oh well as long as I have all three kids I feel like I am doing well. lol
Megan and Larry came to visit this last weekend and we had a lot of fun!! It sure is nice to have good friends. They came even though Jonathan was at football camp for most the time. AND... they brought us the cutest little bunny-- that is going to make me go nuts!! (smile) Our kids love it a little too much... Poor bunny...
Any way, thanks for staying with us! It was a blast!
