10th birthday celebration

After 4th fun

So many sparklers left over

Ray Harral Nature Park

A beautiful day in April, we told the children we were going to the park. Their reactions as we drove up were a little disappointment as they discovered no playground equipment. Not too excited as we unloaded everyone.

After walking through the many trails and seeing the spring wildlife, they decided this was a better time than a boring playground park. Fun day!

Goings On.....

Busyness hit here the last couple of months and I didn't even make an attempt to post. Here are photos of some of the fun!

Rhea Lana's

It's that time again. Twice a year I stress myself out getting ready for the consignment sale. This time I started early but still managed to get things together at the last minute. This organization is by far the easiest way to consign. These sales have been worth the effort. I am able to empty the house of out-grown clothing and make a nice profit. Last fall I sold over 100 items and found a large amount of adorable baby girl clothes for the new one.

Yes!! It's Here!!!

I am so glad I found out about Project Life! I have high hopes that this system will get me back into scrapbooking on a regular basis. Why didn't I know about these products before? Anyway, if you were lucky enough to snag the newest sets this week on HSN then you received the same one I did! They sold 20,000 album kits in 24 hours!

Here is everything out of the boxes:

The plan is to start with this past January, catch up to present, and continue the year. On to print pictures! (Oh, and I may or may not have went back three hours later and ordered the other kit). I could not miss this deal. Half off retail and they are not in stores until May.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Another busy weekend here. We are about to be full-blown into soccer and baseball season in a week. Spring soccer is the pits when it's so wet and cold together. This is the first year for coach pitch so we'll see how the baseball games go! Baby went for her 4-month well visit and came home with two sore legs. We do an alternate schedule for shots so she will have to go back in a month for more. They really wanted her to have four at this visit!

Friday was somewhat of a repeat for us from a couple of weeks back. My husband and I were able to go out to dinner together at Palace Cafe and then on to see Maroon 5 in concert! Really, we never do things like this and to have the chance for twice this month is insane. Great food as usual and a really great  band. Wish my phone had taken better pics while we were there.

Saturday evening found us at a friend's wedding. A cute little chapel in the woods and a beautiful reception. We had some fun with the photo booth there.

Looking forward to some spring-like weather this week!

Alternate Vaccination Schedule

Since our third child was born, we have followed an alternate vax schedule that I found through a holistic moms group I was a part of. Yes I said was. I don't have a specific place to give credit to, but our pediatrician has been very accommodating and in agreement with this list. We do make more trips to the office, but I feel more than two in a month is too much. Such a controversial topic and I do not want to start a debate here. Several people have asked for it from me so I thought I would post:
