Fishing the MISSISSIPPI

One sunny Sunday morning Jack and I decided to go fishing and enjoy the day by the River. It was so nice to relax and enjoy the scenery. We didn't catch to many fish, well actually we only caught one, but the weather was perfect. I walked around and searched for agates, didn't find to many, but I did find some cool rocks. On the way home we stopped at Little Caesar's for a pizza and some crazy bread. I haven't had Little Caesar's in forever, and it was pretty delicious!

My rock collection from the Mississippi!!!!
Love my HEART rock!

Happy 30th Jack!

Jack turned the big 30 this year! Since he was hitting a milestone we decided to have a Hawaiian Luau at the house. It was a huge success. Jack had all of our family and friends join us for his birthday. We decorated the garage in Luau decor and had everyone wear their Hawaiian gear. The party was one of our best yet! We started the celebration at 2:00PM and ended about 1AM, with all the people and fun we were having we went through TWO 16 gallon kegs.

Independence Day

For the Fourth we had company at our house. Nothing to big, just a few friends and family.Hung out and chatted, played a game of Bocce ball and celebrated America!

We're off to see the Wizard!

As most of you know, Wizard of Oz is my all time most favorite movie. I have seen it over 1 million times in my 25 years. I used to call it "Toto". My poor parents would have to replay this movie over and over again for me when I was younger. My younger sister (Riley Jo, 8) also LOVES The Wizard if Oz, in which she calls "The Witch". My poor father knows this movie by heart! Jack and I had Nattie for a day so we took her to the Childrens Museum to see the Wizard of Oz exhibit. I think I enjoyed it more than she did!!!

Nattie is fully potty trained now. While at the Museum she apparently had to go potty but forgot to tell someone. She just started peeing in the middle of the Wizard of Oz exhibit! It was the funniest thing. She looked up at Jody and says " Mommy I have an accident." hehe!

In the car on the way home Nattie was playing "Painting" with the colored sunscreen!!! She is so cute!!!




When we got back to my house Nattie ran through the sprinkler. She actually wouldn't run through it, she would just play with the water. She was afraid of the water hitting her in the face. Uncle Jack held her hand and finally she ran through it!
