Look I am being better!

at blogging!  I am just way behind on posting pictures.  These pics are from Memorial Day weekend when Jen and Dean came to visit.  It was great fun!  

I've been trying different things with Photoshop, not quite sure if I got it yet.  

This is Pongo hulla hooping!

The two beautiful girls.

kissing cousins : ) 

We didn't even plan the matching bathing suits.  Jen and I just know something cute when we see it.  I love how Mia is looking at Gracie here.  She really thinks Gracie is cool. 

I love the action in this shot.  Check out her hair isn't it cool!

Mia dancing with a graham cracker.

shaking her booty with a graham cracker.

Gracie finger painting herself into the Hulk.

Mia finger painting.

I LOVE this picture.  It is quite possibly one of my favorite of all time.  If you click on it you can see how great it is.

Uncle Dean striking a pose.

Mia showing off some of her new Matilda Jane duds.

We are getting ready to send my big girl off to school.  This is her getting ready to tour her  school.

She has her purse and she is accessorized with her necklace.

Now I am boring her....she was ready to go!

I Promise...

to be a better blogger! We have been busy and I haven't had a lot to blog about.

We got our license for foster care last Thursday so it has been a little over a week and no placement yet, which is okay because we have enough to keep busy. It will happen when it happens and I am sure we will have our hands full.

A little over a month ago my grandpa, who is 92, had a minor stroke and he is ok, but it did affect him so Mia and I have been visiting and helping him every week. She really loves to see Grandpa and loves to spend time with him it is so cute.

Mia has been singing more and more. Sometime at spontaneous times she just breaks out in song and sometimes even dance. She is a really good booty shaker and will sing, "shake your booty, yeah yeah." It's too die for!

She just finished her last swim class last week...did I mention she was taking swim classes? She LOVED them and did so well. She would go under the water when most of the kids wouldn't. After she would go under she would say, "my hair is crazy."

This is my baby after she got stung by a bee....
