Here are the pages I did of the kids with Chuck & Julianne and Sean and I with them.
It's quiet here today. My inlaws went on their annual canoe trip, Sean and Jessi are both at work, so its just me and the kids. Its actually kind of weird. LOL!
You know, the super cute country singing couple from Dancing with the Stars, well we met them today at the Lenawee County Fair. How freakin' cool is that.
They were totally sweet, took pictures with us, Chuck probably would have hung out with Keira if we had let her run off with him.
It was so cute, I was trying to take a picture of Julianne and Sean together and Cooper took off running, so Chuck grabbed him for us. So cool, needless to say they have two huge fans now.
The Shabby Princess just released an awesome new kit, new blog banners, new font and some new piece of cake albums. You must run to the Shabby Shoppe right now and grab them.
So, my new blog banner of course is by the Shabby Princess and I did this page today with Giggle Box!
On Friday an old friend of mine and Sean's stopped by on her way to Ohio. I hadn't seen Vanessa is 7 years, we met in Tech School way back in 1999, and were stationed together in Japan as well as our training. She was probably my best friend in Japan, so it was really awesome to see her.
It was like we hadn't been apart at all. We had a great time and I'm hoping to see her again while she's in Ohio, before she heads off to Korea for 3 years.
We went to dinner and to see the Ugly Truth.
So funny, then again I love a good chick flick.
This is me and Vanessa. I spent the night with her and we just talked and drank and had a good time.
Then on Saturday we had a family reunion to go to, it was fun, didn't really know anyone, but Keira had a great time swimming and there was good food. I'm always up for good food. LOL!
Then on Sunday was my Sister-In-Law's Bridal shower.
I think it turned out really nice and Jessi got a lot of great stuff.
These are just a couple pages that I did last night of the Armstrong Women.
I've realized I haven't been on my blog much at all since the move and I'm actually probably going to move it to blogspot soon just so I don't have to keep paying for it since money is on the tight side.
We've been her for about 6 weeks now I guess, I like Michigan, pretty much sunny everyday, its not super hot, which I love, but its also not 60 degrees, which I also love.
Once we got here things have been pretty busy.
The first week we were here was pretty warm, the kids played in the pool alot. We had our first nighttime date since i was pregnant with Cooper.
The next week we had a BBQ with all of my Mother-In-Law's family, it was on Father's Day and the kids got to meet everyone, Keira loves having all of her families, as she calls them.
The next week was even busier, we went to the Zoo with my friend Amber, her husband and kids. They were in Ohio for training, we were all in Alaska together, now they're in Jolly Ole England (lucky Jerks).
We did that on a Saturday, then on Monday Sean and I flew to Baltimore, spent 2 days in D.C sightseeing, drove back through Gettysburg, stayed the night just outside Cleveland.
The day after we got home we took the kids to a nice little water park since Grandpa Doug wasn't working that week, but it was cold, so we didn't stay too long.
Then of course we went to a big 4th of July party the next day, Keira had an awesome time, she saw lots of fireworks. I cused out some teenagers for jumping in a bounce house with my 4 year old. That doesn't sound like me, does it?
The next week we took the kids on a picnic and just hung out.
We went to see Jimmy Wayne, Dierks Bentley & Brad Paisley, AWESOME!
I got to go with my Sister-In_Law and Mother-In-Law for Jessi's final wedding dress fitting, she looked beautiful. A few days later we also went to a Dove Chocolate party, yum!
In this time I've also filed for unemployment (should get it soon), 6 jobs, registered for college and just keep hoping something will come up.
All of our stuff will be here on Tuesday and if I get unemployment started we'll be heading to our rental, but who knows if we'll have internet.
This week I have to try and schedule my orientation for college and take placement tests, I'm not excited about that at all. On Saturday there is a family reunion and then on Sunday is Jessi's first Bridal Shower that I get to help throw, I'm so excited! I love anything wedding related.
So, you can see why I've been super busy and haven't been on here much. Sorry about that. Things are hectic and August isn't going to be much better. Hopefully Keira will start pre-school in September and we'll get started with school too.
And on that note, here are a couple pages, hope you feel up to date with what's been going on with us.
Just a few pages of what we've been up to this last month.
Well, more like Washington and one of Gettysburg. All the Gettysburg pictures are pretty much headstones.
This pictures is from Gettysburg, its of General George Meade, I thought it was kind of weird to see this guy, you know the one Ft. Meade is named after. My military buddies will think its neat.
Basically just tons of monuments and headstones like this all over the area, I probably took 20 pictures there, all pretty similar. I felt guilty being there and being from the south. LOL! Sean just told me not to talk. I didn't see any southern momuments there, wonder why that is?
It was a really nice trip, we saw a lot of really cool things. We went to the Smithsonian Museums of American History and Natural History, both were awesome. The one thing that sucked was I couldn't take a pictures of the Flag that inspired the star spangled banner song, but it was awsome to see, I got chills. Same thing with some of the monuments we saw. It was really amazing. I'm glad we made the trip, I hope we can take the kids back when they're old enough to get it.
Oh and one last picture of my sweet little tinkerbell, Cooper.
I know, I'm a terrible blogger, things have been beyond crazy this week. For one thing we flew to Washington D.C on Monday, got home on Thursday, went to a water park on Friday and 4th of July party today. I promise I'll try to do a good post soon, but until then here are pictures of the kids from today.
