Family

Granted, it's not the best picture, but here is a family picture that Clarence's Mother took on Saturday after lunch.

It wouldn't be too bad if Isaac wasn't mad... :)

Happy Birthday Clarence!

 Clarence's 36th birthday was yesterday.  We started our celebrations with lunch with his mother on Saturday.  Then on Sunday, his birthday, we took the boys to my parents' house where they had a nice big breakfast.  While they were with my parents, we went and had a nice lunch at PF Chang's.  It was Clarence's first time to eat there, and I think he liked it!  After lunch and quick trips to Electronic Express and Costco, we went back to my parents house for ice cream cake from Maggie Moo's.  I think Clarence had a nice birthday weekend.  We love him very much and are so thankful for him!

After my adventures in cleaning out the house, I had two bags of clothes to send to Goodwill, and our house is now a little more organized.  There is still more work to be done, but it will have to wait for another day.

Toward the end of last week, I took the boys out to Milestone to spend some time with Clarence's boss's boys, Cody and Eli.  They had a great time riding their bikes, the fourwheeler, and the Ranger.

Then, on Friday, the boys and I went to Nashville Shores with Nana, Jay and Camden.  We met up with Nana's friend and her grandchildren.  Isaac had a great time with Jay and Nana's friend's granddaughter.  They were so cute together!

Here are some pictures from our week.  It's back to work tomorrow.  I enjoyed the time with my boys this week, but I will be glad to go back to work tomorrow.

One Month

Today is the first day of our staycation.  The boys' babysitter is on vacation this week, so I took off the week to stay home with them.  And since Daddy is working and we don't have funds to do much, we are spending the week at home.  My goal this week is to rid our home of extra stuff that we haven't seen or used in the past year or longer.  But, what dawned on me this morning is that the boys will be starting school one month from today.  The summer is flying by as I knew it would.  Before long, we'll be shopping for back to school stuff!  Fun!  In the meantime, I think the boys are enjoying spending time with each other. :)

So far I have cleaned out our bedroom nightstands and started on the boys' closet.  Next up is to finish the boys' closet, then our closet, the kitchen, and finally the toy room again.  I cleaned it out a few weeks ago, but it is still a cluttered mess.  So, it must be addressed again.  I am tired of stepping over toys!  I'm going to have a nice haul for Goodwill again!



Phone Pix

I was going through the pictures on my phone today, and I realized that there some cute ones that I haven't posted.  So here you go! Enjoy!

One more day, and it's vacation time! The boys and I are not planning to go anywhere, and it is going to be nice to just be at home with nowhere we have to be! :)  Daddy will be working all week. :(

Happy 4th of July!!!!

Happy 4th of July from our family to yours!
