Happy Birthday Sweety!

We missed you today.

"Allie has a happy face" quote by Cooper

Cooper eating the cup cakes we made.

It was a bit more messy than I thought it would be...

Cooper being sweet...

Allie girl.

Cooper song to Shaw!

Happy Birthday Love!

the door and the 4th and family visit

We have been busy.

We put in a new door, celebrated the 4th of July and had Shaw's parents in for a visit.

(not in order of apportance... its just the order the pictures uploaded)

The Door

Here is a before picture of the door.

Shaw working... he's so handy!

Taaa daaaa!

It's so nice and new. After it was up for a few days I kept thinking the doors were open it was so bright and open. We have only had one little boy run into it on the 4th. I mean he was running... boom. He was fine, not even a tear was shed. Im used to having an old yucky door and not knoticing the finger prints and doggy slobber I clean it often. I love my door so dont mind it one bit.

The 4th

Carlson's came over for a swim party.

See Michelle's blog to see a cute video of Cooper jumping in and saying Happy 4th of July.

Our Friends Dood or Denny or Keith and Heather. They got engaged on the 4th at our house with fireworks in the back ground. It was also her birthday. Congrats guys, we are happy for you!

A big one.

Boom Boom Booom

The in-laws

We had a fun time with Shaw's parents, Robert and Mellody. It was a little warm (understatement) so spent most of our time inside on the couch, cooking in the kitchen or at the store. They went in the boat one morning and they helped us put in the door along with some other little projects.

We always ate well thanks to Robert! Yummm.

Ultimate Tribute Dance Party

We were sad to hear about Michael Jackson's death.
Shaw and I were talking and think the Michael Jackson that made all that great music died awhile ago. He got weirder and weirder as time went on.
We do love his music.
What better way to celebrate his life, then blasting his music and dancing around.

being sad.

we played it all.


dancing... complete with glove!
Shaw... moonwalk.

Blueberries!!!

Blueberries!!!

a gallon of them

picking

picking more

Allie was a good girl and enjoyed the berries as we worked.

Cooper kept us informed every time he found one.
He was a great helper!

If we can eat all them we may go back in a few weeks.

Some things I might attempt making:
Blueberry pie
Blueberry cobbler
Blueberry cream cheese
Blueberry ice cream
Blueberry pancakes
Blueberry butter
Blueberry crisp

Our new baby... Seamore

We got a boat....
here are some photos of our first adventure on Bayou Lacombe.

Happy Boy.

Bear Bear and Woody got to come. They enjoyed themselves and were well behaved.

I think my truck looks good pulling a boat.

My boys!

Heidi's Hall on www.etsy.com

I'm selling some cool art on Etsy.
It's like an ebay... but for hand made and crafty things.
I have made 9 mosaics with magazine papers and I think they look pretty cool.
I lost some hours this summer and was hoping to sell some to make up for my lost $ and to fill my time.
Check it out... Heidi's Hall... let me know what you think...

Pooh Bear!

What cool neighbors we have. Pooh Bear came to town for their little ones 2nd b-day.

I didn't know Pooh Bear liked Bud Light.

Oh it's Shaw.

Pooh Bear was being a little inappropriate.

The Carlson Crew.

The lucky Birthday girl who Pooh Bear came to see. Mady Moo.

I'm looking forward to Mady's 3rd b-day party. A Pooh Bear party complete with Pooh might be hard to beat.
