My two Beautiful girls

In their beautiful dresses for Pentecost


I just wanted to share you some of our latest pictures of our girls in their best clothes for church. These photo's were taken on June 16th (on a holyday) for us. I think they turned out great!
Yes, I'm showing my children off, I'm the mama and I think I deserved to some times. This is also for my family too. I love you mama, these are for you to enjoy!!

Ashley second dance recital

I am finally able to sit down for a few minutes to post pictures of Ashley second dance recital at River Road Park, Wednesday 18th of June. The park had a summer school out carnival and her class was asked to perform in it. Ashley did very well, and we are proud parents to see our beautiful daughter perform again. As always, I do her up glamorous, and make it even more special to her. After her two performance, which was tap, and ballet dance, we got to go to many stations that had mini games for children to play. The girls both wanted to get their face painted so they chose which design they wanted "cat" design if you couldn't tell. How fun that was!! They also got to play in a blow-up bouncing play area twice (a favorite). We spent most of our late afternoon there and came home for a late dinner and mommy made homemade ice cream as a treat for Ashley and Hannah. It was very much an evening of memory for parents and children that will always be in our hearts.

Life

These are the times when you realize you have been too busy for any down time in your life. Last week was very tiring at, the least. I was gone everyday doing errands or taking Ashley to T-Ball camp M/W/F in the afternoon at River Road park three times last week and on top of her dance class, so I was at River Road Park four times last week. I also had ensemble lessons that Tuesday night (as always) so I was busy that day too. I was able to sneak in a Goodwill run after my voice lessons and it's so much peaceful without my children and I can just brows the isle find something that's a great buy.
John and I went also gift shopping for the girls for just because gifts from our rewards credit card points and we got a hundred dollar gift card to Target. We bought the girls nice play kitchen dish sets and Ashley a new bicycle. They love it all and when I went to goodwill, I found a mini tea cups and saucers for the girls to play tea time.
Ashley has been working with riding without training wheels and she has just taken off the other day. She is pretty much on her own; the stopping with brakes hasn't gotten down yet. Little Hannah, has Ashley's old bike (with training wheels) and has taken off too. She loves it and wants to ride all the time know.

We are also been dealing with a dead vehicle (that has left us stranded several times) and know we have been looking around for a new car. John has been working on our car and has finally gotten it to start and is driving it to work to test how it's driving. We finally got out Trooper paid off this February and I SOO...... don't want to get into car payment again. We knew we would have to find a bigger vehicle when that time comes for the next child in our house arrives. For right now I'm driving my brother’s vehicle again (what joys, a two door truck). John the other day got the car working and has been test driving it to work lately, so, I hopefully able to drive our vehicle soon.

We also have refinanced our house again for the fourth time since we have been at our house (going on six yrs). So we were busy signing papers last week too. We are getting cash back to help us fix up our house. We have to reside our house, paint it again, finish our kitchen, put bigger electrical box in and run more wires, also refinish our bath tub (which is SO scratched-up), and a few odds and ends around here. So, we have a full schedule this summer working on our house. We are still working on chicken coop and will be for a couple of more weeks.

The other day the girls and I went to go U-Pick strawberries at Thistledown Farms, but they told us they aren't doing that right now and they just put out their first display of boxes out. So, we just bought two big flat boxes for $18.99 a box. We aren't having much sun lately and the crops aren't growing fast right now so things are not fully ready yet.

Tonight we plan on going hiking at Spencer Butt with some friends and the girls and I going together. Ashley and Hannah do well, expect I have to ALWAYS carry toilet tissue and hand sanitizer, since Ashley seems to have to do her number#2 businesses ever time. Even if she has already gone once or twice that day she still has to do that business (I feel like I have a dog, lol).

Stay tuned next week since Ashley has a dance performance with the River Road summer carnival on the 18th. I will get plenty of pictures and will post them up with my story.
