Took the boat to a different lake. Bill got her running,but couldn't get the prop to go up. Finally we got it to stay up with a wench. They unfortunately can't get to it for two weeks. Bummer, but better in the driveway then out in the water. Things happen for a reason.

Today didn't go quite as planned, the boat wouldn't start but Bill worked all day on it. And was Finally able to wake the whole neighborhood up. I'm so glad he knows how to work on these things!!!!!!!!!!!!!

summer break

 chicks dig me.  It's been awhile since I've blogged. We've had a really busy summer and had about 1,000 pictures to go through. Here's the quick version for I'm holding Kevin.

 A big messy eater. He sure loves his food.

 Kevin's first trip to the N.V. fair

 Redecorated.... I love this statue

 Proof my house can be clean... Rearranged to make room for an elliptical

 A quick spur of the moment trip to go see Amanda. We had a blast catchin up and cookin in the kitchen. It was good seeing them, the girls talked and played the entire time.

 How about tomorrow Mom, thats what I said when Mom asked me when I might be able to go see them. I'm sooooo glad we did.

 A week later we went to see Dwight and Melissa. We went to a nice fair where there were lots of exotic animals to see and feed. I love this picture of Kevin grabbing for the corn dog.

Of course we had to do a pony ride

 PIG Races. We laughed till we cried. too cute and so squeely.

 Such cuties

 The week went by too fast

 On the way back we stopped at the Dells to eat, play a little and of coures get CHEESE!!!!

We are now back home for awhile. My bed has never felt so good.

Today I bought V8 V Fusion energy drink. Peach mango. It is very tasty for 50 cal with80 mg caffeine.(green tea) oh yeah also 1 serving fruit and vegetables. Defenatly will get some more, ESP for the weekend. People look at ya funny when your on your 10th cup of coffee.

Last Sunday evening Mom called me and asked to think about when I could maybe go down to see Amanda. I said how about tomorrow. She wasn't too sure about that but after thinking it over for awhile and a little arm twisting she said OK. Who says I'm not spontaneous. Ashley was at Mamaw's and Kevin was with Jennifer. Packed everything and got a good nights rest. We didn't tell Ashley we were going. she had no clue. She thought we were going to home depot for paint.
We told her we were going to a special home depot and that it was going to be a long drive. We made a lot of slip ups and also kept mentioning home depot to throw her off. It
Wasn't till Tennesee before she finally figured it out. It was so funny.Kevin did fantastic most of the trip and Ashley tended to him when he was upset. She was a huge help.
I have to brag about Wendy's new fruit chicken salad. It is a healthy must try. I could eat it every meal. The only downside to Wendy's is there are no diaper changing stations. Wendy must have been potty trained. Anyway funny poo story. Everyone got a show as Mom and I are changing Kevin in the parking lot. I started cleaning him in the vehicle but he was so dirty I had to hold him up by the armpits while mom cleaned him all up. Ashley hid,she just knew I was going to get peed on or mom pooed on. I'm sure we were quite the sight.
Leia also didn't know we were coming. She found out when Amanda told the guard that we were behind her. They had to meet us at the gateLeia asked Amanda who she waved at and then wondered why we were following them. We had a really god time, mostly stayed in their house catching up and cooking up a storm. Amanda can grill up some awesome steak. I can't wait to try out some of her tricks. The kids played the whole time. The week went by too fast. I'll post some pictures later. So glad we went, my cheeks still hurt from all the laughing.
