Memorial Day Weekend

Karlee and Sierra had to be my helpers the week prior to Memorial

Day because Todd was gone all week starting his CECL

(Center for Excellence in Church Leadership) program.

He will be gone one week in the spring and one in the fall for 2 1/2 years.

So when he came home we got the pool out on the deck

for the gals and got out some yard games to play

Then we planted some flowers, hopefully we won't get any more frost,

and Sierra/Magnet watched and ate cheeseballs.

On Memorial Day we went to see Indiana Jones with some

friends and then back to our house for a cook-in (since it was raining)

and Taboo playing and watching the Stanley Cup playoffs.

All in all - a GREAT weekend!

Let the Training Begin

Our Economic Stimulus Rebate just arrived today and part of it is going to church and the rest is going towards our trip out to Glacier National Park in Montana. That means training must begin for mountain hiking. I am glad that I will have Sierra (20 lbs+) and Todd will have Karlee (40 lbs +). Now if August would just get here.

Blessed Mommy

Karlee made me a stepping stone for our flower garden

and playing with them outside is one of my favorite things.

I am truly blessed to have 2 such beautiful daughters.

Being a mom is harder then I ever thought but

more importantly I love them more then I ever thought possible.

Fun with Grandpa and Grandma Groat

The gals were totally excited for

Grandpa & Grandma Groat to visit from St. Louis.

Catching up with the gals since they hadn't seen them

since Thanksgiving - they have changed alot since then.

Music concert and playing Let's Go Fishing since it

was fishing opener and too icky to be outside.
