Our cute little Eliza...

I must say, we have THE CUTEST little girl living across the street from us...

They have only lived here about a year, but their daughter Eliza is to die for!!

 Eliza is quite fond of Kaylee...she will reach for Kaylee to hold her every time she has a chance....this is a cute little bond to watch :)

 I only get to hold her if I bribe her with candy!! Hey, whatever it takes, right?? lol

Eliza is so cute!!! Give her a ball, sucker and Kaylee and she's good to go! How lucky are we!

I am sure her mom appreciates a little break from time to time as well :)
Girls are the best!! Just Sayin'

Berry Chicken Salad

What's for dinner??

"Berry Chicken Salad"
 

MMMMMMMmmmm!! Is all I have to say!

Garden Salad, Chicken, Strawberries, Almonds and Fat Free Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing...

Topped it off with a Strawberry Lemonade....so good!

Kimee says: "Mom, it looks like your pouring blood on your salad"..  lol

Oremfest!!

I am a little late posting this, but better late than never!

A few weeks ago I enjoyed going back to my hometown of Orem...for their Orem Days...

 Kimee wanted to get her face painted...her first time ever!

 She chose a Butterfly...the artist matched it to her clothes....amazing!! And it only took her less than 5 minutes...if that!
Isn't she just beautiful???!!!

 Gotta love quick - set up city carnivals...Kimee loved this fun slide

I ran into a bunch of "oremites' along the way....my good friend Danny England posted this to his facebook account....I don't wish to re-live my high school days, but there are a handful of people I miss dearly...Danny was one of those people...

 We had an awesome spot to watch fireworks, but by the time we left the carnival...our grass spot was taken, so I just opened up the sun roof and it worked great. The girls were just giggling because it was something different...they had a blast :)

Can't wait for more fireworks on the 4th of July. 

We'll be out of town, so we'll see what another state has to offer with the fireworks show, we hear its supposed to me amazing...

 guess we'll wait and see!

Summer fun with the boyzzz...

Bryson and Brenden came over to play for the day...and it was HOT!!

I put up the pool and filled a whole bunch of water balloons with water, then bought some water guns..

This was 6 hours of fun!!

 Bryson (fallen down) is about a year younger than Kaylee and Brenden is a year younger than Kimee...

 Helpful Hint: Use regular party balloons filled with water....they take a LOT longer to pop on the trampoline....

 Our neighbor Jagger came over to play too!!

Poor Bryson, they all picked on him..lol  I am pretty sure he asked for it though...ha!

After they got tired of swimming, we came in for dinner. While I made dinner, they made a fort! I was pretty impressed..

I ended up allowing them to eat dinner in their fort....ahhh!! The joys of summer! I'm lovin it!

Pretty awesome fort kids!!

Suprise note from Kaylee...

I woke up with a note sitting on my nightstand...it reads:

"Dear Mom, You are the bestest mom ever! 

I couldn't have asked for a better mom than you! 

I love you so much! 

You are one of the weirdest moms I know! :) 

I still love youno matter what! 

I love you so much! 

Have a great day today! Love, Kaylee

Thanks bugaboo!! I love you too!

I'm a Match!!!

I received this email this past week....

I didn't call right away, so they called ME!

I answered about 15 minutes worth of questions and they wanted me to go in and get further blood tests to see if I was a good enough candidate...

I passed all their preliminary questions'/qualifications...

Well, I received the phone call today that I am indeed a great match for this person....they went over the procedure in detail and will send me a bunch of stuff to look over and sign.....then it's up to the patient if they will use me or not....crazy stuff!!

I guess if they pick me, I will have an amazing story to share....

.

Pick me, Pick me, Pick me!!!! LOL

I am going to take this to heart.....changes are about to happen and I'm excited!!!!!
