What have we been up to!?!?!?

In no particular order, we have been making "projects," feeding ducks, going to the library, free movies, swimming, sleeping in, laying sod, playing the Wii, building with Legos, playing with friends, going to the park and just having a relaxing summer!

400 Free Prints from Arts Cow

I have used this compnay once and my second order is on the way! Even though they come from Hong Kong, they are here in about 10 days and the quality is comparable to anywhere else! They give 400 prints, 200 5X7 and 200 4x6, for signing up spread out over 4 months. Ordering 100 prints, 50 5X7 and 50 costs $10 to ship so that is 10 cents. I am continuosly getting e-mails for more freebies! I am looking forward to trying the free playing cards, heart key chain, mousepad and the 60 8x10's they have offered me!!!

Here are some codes you can enter for some of these great items when you sign in!

Happy 4th Of July America!

Just a few shots from today!! That is Ashton coming out of the door hiding from the fireworks!!! Sadie playing with a sparkler! A fun day today! Lots of swimming and getting worn out!!!

Uniforms

While we were away, Ashton's school uniforms arrived. Since it was mail for him he couldn't wait to open it and try them one! He looks so cute, but his first comment was, "I am too uncomfortable!!!" Uh oh! He was to wear them 4 days a week! He doesn't like how long his shorts are! We are hoping our friend Sew Susan can hem them for him so he will like them!

More Ana Maria Island

Back from Ana Maria Island

Ashton loved the waves! Pre-teen Sadie wouldn't let me get very many pictures of her!!!

VBS

Here is what we have been up to all week! It was VBS at church! I was a crew leader and the kids were "Funologists" at Power Lab!

Universal & Islands of Adventure

For a free day it was worth it!!! Kevin and I got free tickets for being school board employees and we also got a free one in the mail to use for Ashton!

The weather was a bit rainy, but we were overall okay. The rain hit while we were in a show and it drizzled and cleared after that.

We rode the new Simpson Ride! That was fun!!! Ashton was brave and went on any ride we took him!

Go Diego Go Live!!!

What a fun treat!!! We went to the Lakeland Center to see Go Diego Go Live!!! We went with a bunch of friends and had a great time!!! The kids loved the show!

Surgery

Ashton made it through surgery for his tonsils, adenoids and tubes just fine! Today is definately better than yesterday. There is more energy and more desire to eat and drink. I hope that this will fix all the ear infections of the last two years. We'll find out in two weeks if his hearing has returned back to normal.

Another Graduate in the house.....

We have another graduate in our house!!! Sadie had her 5th grade awards today. SHe made A/B honor roll for the whole year!!!

Cypress Gardens

It was teacher appreciation weekend at Cypress Gardens and that meant free admission! We met up with some other teacher friends and went for the day! Ashton loved it!!! We went nearly 2 years ago and this was more enjoyable for him now that he can swim!

Happy Mother's Day

Mayfaire 5K

Kevin and I ran in the 5K Mayfaire in dowtown Lakeland last night. I improved my time over last year!!! Kevin squeaked out another win over me even though he doesn't run as regualry as I do!

Preschool Graduate!!!

Here is our little graduate! Just how cute is he?!?!?

Spring on Lake Hollingsworth

A fmily of mallards, an alligator turtle, a momma limpkin and her baby, and a red-winged blackbird.

Sun 'n' Fun Fly-In

I think that I know what it might sound like to be under attack now!!! It was only a few f-16 Thunderbirds, but they are loud!!! They literally buzzed our house!!!
