What kind of Music are you?

You Are Country Music

You are friendly, down to earth, and fairly conservative. You are true to your friends and your upbringing. Change is hard for you. But beneath your old fashioned attitude, you are expressive and artistic in your own way. Very few people can express pain and pleasure as eloquently as you can.

What Kind of Music Are You?

Where does the time go....

Not too long ago little Miss K was this bald headed cute little baby!



Now she's a tyrant... no just kidding!
She's still my cute little baby but she has hair now! :)



Can't believe it was 9 years ago she was born. It's been a beautiful nine years! Love ya kiddo!

Photos from the beach.. enjoy!

Photos from our beach vacation :)

Kilroy was here....

oh wait.. that's not Kilroy! That's the quilt holder!

Ana finished her quilt in record time (well all the girls in the class finished in 3 days!) This one is going into the cedar chest for "later" MUCH later!


K will do her class in August. It was suppose to be the last week of July but they had to change.. It's right after GS Camp so I hope she's not too grumpy.... She can be that way.. Grumpy that is :)

Beyond bummed...

There are no other words to describe it.. I'm beyond bummed. I finally got ahold of Janis who is in charge of the trip to Colombia. Poor thing has been dealing with a sick mom and just hasn't been able to have this on her plate. She turned it over to someone else and nothing has been done (or not much). she told me today to assume that we are NOT going. Airfare has risen sooo high that she doesn't think we'll be going. I was so looking forward to going and expanding my horizons! She did say plan on going next year...same time of the year! Next year will be Bogota. Guess I have an extra week in my schedule now :)

*big sigh*

Did I say I was bummed???

The usual Suspects??

Here is Suspect #1


He is accused of using the carpet in front of A's bedroom door as his personal bathroom. He was promptly scolded by the girls and K lost the bet to clean up the wetness he caused. (A had a bad headache) Off K went with her roll of papertowels and grumpy face. I followed a few short minutes later with a grocery sack to put the offending papertowels in. One step onto the carpet and looking at all the water I saw I knew that Suspect # 1 was off the hook!

Here is the actual culprit of the water:


Yep the waterheater had decided that 30 years was enough of a service to anyone and promptly decided to leak out the bottom onto the carpet! Called in Brett from outside where he was about to start mowing the lawn and he took a quick inventory and then went to Home Depot to purchase a new and improved water heater! :)
We cleaned the carpet (wetvac) drained the old one enough to get it out of the closet. Put the new one in and Brett said a few choice words as the new on is much shorter than the old one. Worked and worked and finally had to just put the water back on without the hot connected. Quick trip the next day to Home Depot again another hour or so later we had hot water!

We were just glad that this little culprit decided to leak the day BEFORE we left for Spokane for a few days. Can you imagine the MESS we would have had when we got back?? ummm no thanks! :)

New stuff :)

We went for a drive on Saturday. Not expecting to actually do ANYTHING (thus not cleaning the car out)but look what we ended up driving away with a NEW 2007 charcoal gray Ford Edge. We beat this other couple by minutes that wanted to buy it too. I was afraid for my life for a just a few seconds after I had gone to the Epedition to get paperwork and they were backing out in their old car after losing the deal (kinda thought they might be a tad ticked and run me over! LOL)

so here is my new Girl... name to follow. The expedition was named CARla by the girls so they'll have to think a of good name for this car! :)
