Zoo

We went to the Zoo last month on the hottest day ever! Well, at least it felt that way. But it was so fun and Abby & Emma and thier cousins had a great time. taking a break

Emma was having a great time banging on the glass and screaming at the top of her lungs with delight at all the little critters. She didn't care about the sign that said, "Please do not tap glass, it may frightened the animals." Besides it was probably the most excitement they had all day.

Don't you just love the Zoo?

Summer Days!

We met my good friend Jeri and her kids at the Aquarium. We brought the foreign exchange students and had a great time! Our favorite was the Jelly Fish!
Emma loved the yellow fish

Abby and Emma loved swimming lessons! They never wanted to get out of the pool when our class was over.

Made the switch

Okay, so I started doing ARBONNE, I just got the RE9 skincare set and love it! If you want to try it out let me know! I had never heard of Arbonne before a few months ago, but it’s a skincare/baby/wellness/make-up company that creates their products using natural and botanical ingredients. It's really good stuff. I had been using MaryKay for so long that I forgot there was anything else out there. The minute I tried Arbonne I knew it was what my skin needed. I love the way it makes my skin look and feel.

where to start?

Ok, it's always overwhelming when I think of "updating" the blog because so much has happened and I never know where to start. You know how you always think that summer will be relaxing and you'll have lots of time to do the extra projects? Not so. This summer has been crazy! But fun. We've gone on a few trips, have had a foriegn exchange student and all the other summerness like softball, swim lessons, reunions, horseback rides and weekends at the cabin. Life is busy but life is good, we are happy, healthy and besides needing to catch up on the laudry things are great and were trying to enjoy ever minute.
