Tip...

So have you had to had to battle with the fruit flies? I have, and it has driven me bonkers.

I have finally found a remedy that works for me.

Fill a ramekin sized container half way with apple cider vinegar and a few drops of soap.


Next...

Watch those suckers die!

I'll admit that it's been a long time since you have seen me in blogger land. I didn't have an excuse...until I came home to blog from my trip from Tennessee. We went to visit family over the Thanksgiving break and had a fantastic time. I finally had pictures and a blog to post. Alas, I could not find the camera. Have you seen it? I finally gave up yesterday and the new camera's battery is charging. We will have pictures to post in the future. It is one thing to forget to take pictures or choose not to take pictures, but not to have the option is torture.

OUR BOY IS SIX!

We love this kid. Do you blame us?

GiGi: This picture is for you! He wanted to make sure you knew what he got with his birthday money.

Saved by my friend!

Thank you Emily! I forgot my camera, again! Ben won scariest costume and Maren calls herself a purple Tinkur Bol. We think they are the cutest, hope you enjoy they pictures too!

Happy Bithday Princess!!!

Our Baby is 3.

We had a great little party for the purple wearing, Diego/ Dora loving child of ours. Brian put up party lights outside and we had a bounce house. It was fun with friends and family.

Our puppy!

I thought that I would make up for nearly a month of no blogging so here you go-





I had some dear friends over to visit the other day and while we were enjoying ourselves on the Wii...

Bailey made herself at home in our purses.

This is what Bebo does when he gets a vacation...

New vanity top and yes that is a new pooper!


Lights!


New tile on the walls and floor!


New doors and hardware.

My BOY started school!!

He has adapted to his new surroundings with ease.




Our little lady on the other hand had some troubles.

Would you have guessed???

Your Linguistic Profile:

What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

I'm not sooo surprised.

Want to see some pictures of the vacation???!!!!!

We went out to visit the Bebo's homeland and had a mighty fabulous time!





At the LA Temple

*please note that my boy is so excited to see Disney that he shows the brochure*


My girl didn't care for the ocean water because it was too cold (smart girl)!



The boys didn't seem to mind.







Disneyland was a very neat experience and one that I would love to do again.

I haven't figured out how to change

my header yet but, so far I like the improvement. I like to switch things up a little bit every now and then. I guess that's why I like to buy shoes so much, you get something new, with out solid permanence. I want to thank Kelly for sharing her tips on easy blogging changes. Finally, someone helps me out!

I don't have any pictures to give to you I thought I would follow through with Allyson's Blog and see what you guys come up with.

Here are the directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses.

Sweet vs Kosher...

So it was never a debate in my home growing up what type of pickle was in the refrigerator. KOSHER DILLS BABY! Since I have met my sweet man that has change to the sweet pickle. I have never liked the sweet pickle, but I tell you Bebo can put those things away. Now he has taught my boy to do the same. I recently bought myself a jar of pickles. Baby kosher dills to be exact. My little lady brought them into me while I surfed in webland, and she loves them (she never cared for the sweet)!!!!

So if you pickle, what's your pickle??

What the kids are doing today...

My groomer quit!!!

It's so hard to find a groomer for your dog. It's a lot like a hair stylist, try to find one that gives a great cut at reasonable price....and now I've got the puppy. I even waited a week to be nice to the groomer not to over book him, and now my dogs look like Fozzy Bear and he goes and quits anyway!!!

Summertime dilemma

So now that it's warm enough to take the kids to the pool. (hehe, I DO MEAN SWIM FOR YOUR INFORMATION!) I have this issue, tell me if you have the same problem. You swim for an hour or three, and then come home. Have you noticed with kids is a challenge with all the stuff you have to lug around with you, anyways I digress. By the time you come home the kids are tired and you are tired. It's really the best time for a nap but you know you should put them in the bath for at least a rinse. If you do- there goes the nap! Aahh. I choose the nap, maybe the bath will come after.

Happy Birthday Bebo!

Happy Birthday Brian, Brian it's your Birthday!!

Happy 31st to a great husband, father and man!

Proof that I do things with my kids...

We had a good time with friends as you can see.

This is what we did this weekend...

AND THIS IS WHAT WE ENDED UP DOING INSTEAD.
