A Show at the Dalys

The other night the kids decided to get out the keyboard and put on a little dancing show for us. It was the BEST show I ever saw, really. I was so enjoying it!!!!! The danced to all these pre-recorded songs on the keyboard and had partners, one brother with one sister. It was great fun!!!!

I hope to see many more of these shows in the coming days!!! What a fun thing to be a mom and to have such wonderful kiddos!!

Here's a little clip...I missed the best parts, hope to get a better clip for next time!!!!

Our Little Big Pool

Well, after years of talking about it, I finally convinced Mark that it would be a good idea to get a bigger pool. So Mom-Mom and Pappy bought the kids what was supposed to be a 36 in by 12 ft pool. After much trial for my poor hubby Mark, we got the ground leveled and the pool filled only to find that it was a 24 in by 10 ft pool...big bummer, or little bummer if you want to look at it that way, since it was smaller than we had anticipated. We didn't have our receipt and we didn't really want to dump all that water out, so we decided to keep it. It is working out nicely since it is small enough for all four of the kids to go in (Karli can't yet!). They are enjoying it. Even Mark...I have not gotten to go in yet, though I am planning on it when I can get away from my housework and caring for the little lovebug! Thanks Mom-Mom and Pappy!

Just looking at my good friend Angela's blog, has motivated me to try to blog again. I just sit around and do nothing but eat bon-bons most days, so I thought why not!! (if you believe that one, I some land to sell you on the moon!LOL!) But seriously, she has the cutest and most creative blog, and so I have been spurred on to try to post every now and then on my own blog. My first one back was earlier today as I was entering a contest (from Angela's blog) to win a really cute clothespin apron...and that is so appropriate since just last week I started hanging my clothes outside to try, in hopes of saving money but rarely using my dryer.

Well as the picture for my first official post back since March, is the newest addition to our precious family, Little Karli Evangeline - our darling little lovebug!!!!! What a joy she is!!! Thank you, Lord!

Trying to Win This Apron!!!!!
