Beach

Today I surprised the boys after they got off the bus.  I had their swimming trunks on the floor, and a beach bag all packed.  They were SUPER excited, and READY in no time!

We got there...to our "BEACH", which is technically a "RIVER", but I digress.  When we arrived, and I had applied a dollop...(I LOVE THAT WORD) of sunscreen we noticed that the boys favorite cousin was there...JACK!!!!!!!

They ran off into the water, and emerged with perm-a-smile.  Jack then suggested that they go to the new dock! 

Off they ran.  Here are a few of their most fabulous jumps.  

I came fully equipped with my new "ANTI-AGE SPOT HAT".   I am a freckly girl in general, and have made every attempt lately to avoid the inevitable age spot future.

Then they saw some more kids they knew...Colin and Nina from school.  

Here they are debating who is going over to say hi first. 

After a while they got a bit cold, and shivery

So we sat on our beach sheet, and snacked on some gummies

and dug our feet in the sand

What a lovely day's end!

WOW...7!

Today is Jay and my 7th Wedding Anniversary! 

It was a wonderful day!

Together we made this little man out of love...

 Who made me these little lovelies out of love...

One big happy family!  Through the highs and lows we are always there, and know the love is what binds us!

Here is to many more!

READ THE BOX!

Ok ladies and gentlemen.... today after much hemming and hawing I decided to make 

a trip with Jay to go get a grill.  

THERE IS NOTHING I LOVE MORE THAN MEAT OFF THE GRILL. 

We had a grill for years that we found on the side of the road over 4 years ago, and we did not have much luck with it.  So, that being said, we decided it was high time for a new one.  

Off we went, and got our new baby.  I also picked up 12 flats of begonias for the hanging baskets I saved from a few years ago.  

When we got home, Jay had to go to work, and I set to work erecting the Grill.  

EASIER SAID THAN DONE...believe me.  

NOT ONE PIECE WAS ATTACHED TO ANY OTHER PIECE.  EVERYTHING NEEDED A NUT AND BLOT, AND WASHER, AND FITTING, AND F$%# this!  I was sweating bullets, and tired, and hot, and sick of reading the directions.  Then I moved a sticker off of the inside of the top of the grill and saw a sticker saying " ask about FREE assembly"  FREE ASSEMBLY????? 

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE F$%&'ing ASSEMBLY?????

Oh, and then I moved the monstrous box with the packaging contents spilling out of it,

and what do I see then???

THAT IS RIGHT!  Just incase I didn't feel like a super dolt before.  

Well, after 2 1/2 hours of swearing, sweating, nutting and bolting I was finally done!

HERE SHE IS, and I must say I take pride in my job!

 Sam, Jay, and I also planted the Begonias, and hung them to admire while our dinner sizzled on the grill.

Sausage, and Chicken DONE TO PERFECTION!  SO DELICIOUS!

Public service announcement...

 READ THE BOX...THAT IS ALL!

P.S. I wrote pubic service announcement 3 times before I finally wrote it right. LOL!

Ahhhhh...a spruce up, and a skirt!

Today I was lucky enough to get the day off, and woke up full of energy!

Our outside looked a bit on the shabby side recently, and I decided that it was time for a mowing.

So this morning at 7:15 I proceeded to get out the lawn mower and get to it before the sun burned me up!

It looks fantastic, and I am super relieved and excited to have it done! I have these lovely little Pansey's beside my house that I am hoping my husband doesn't weed wack today.

I had placed our screen door back on the front door the other day, and I must say...MOM YOU WERE RIGHT...it makes a huge difference with the cross breeze, and it looks nice too!!!

I also donned my first skirt of the season today, and man oh man does it feel good!

Couldn't be left without my new favorite accessory, my crocheted headband!

Love this one, only did 3 rows instead of 4 because it is a larger guage yarn.

Laura...lets act like a grown up...

Well my friends, after oh, say give or take 12 years of snacking all day, and NEVER eating 3 meals a day, even when I was pregnant, I am eating like a grown up!  

What brought about the change you ask?  

Well Julia and I were discussing the other day that we can't stop eating!  Then a light bulb went off...maybe that is because we don't know when to eat!  We just were eating whenever we saw something yummy, and even sometimes not even something yummy.  Then by the time our kiddos got home we were stuffed from eating all day, and they have to eat dinner alone.  BAD BAD BAD example, BAD BAD BAD mommies!  So we thought, why not set a good example for our boys? 

Why not eat the food that NORMAL people eat for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. 

WHAT A NOVEL IDEA, HUH?

So, I have been doing as we proposed, I am eating with the boys, we are all together, they are loving it! I am eating delicious, healthy meals, and they are SOOOOO satisfying! I am not eating between meals...NEVER! I am cooking real dinners, and enjoying them because I don't feel guilty eating them because..."It is dinner time, this is your dinner Laura."

So, thanks for listening to my epiphany...now for my newest pattern!

How Lovely

How lovely is this little dishcloth I made today? 

I found the pattern here, and it was a breeze to make! 

First pattern, besides my own, that I have made in a long time!

After making a MILLION (give or take) crappy, over cooked, dry, pieces of meat I have finally found out the secret, and made these luscious pork chops!

Cook at a low to medium heat with a super fabulous stainless steel pan!  I am sure all of you have known this, but I feel like a lightbulb, and the tastebuds simultaneously went on at the same time.  I owe it all to the uber-fantastic Gordon Ramsay!  Have you ladies seen him with his shirt off...oh, and I love the expletives that freely fly out of his handsome face!  Sam's hair looks like his in the morning.  I affectionately call him Gordon.

Thanks for the advice, and for being my eye candy Gordon!
