Old and New

Here are the same pictures I took, one with my old camera and one with the new. Can you tell a difference?

Rain Rain you can stay

You would think the yucky weather yesterday would have put a damper on outdoor fun. Well not for boys, especially my boy! Ryan and Nick were out on the porch, the next thing you know I look out to check on them and they are soaking wet with mud up to their knees. The little snots were jumping in mud puddles. By the time I got outside with my camera they had jumped in "a clean" puddle to clean off. They had a blast though. I let them since it wasn't cold and there was no lightning. Boys are just crazy! Oh and our 4th baby bird hatched yesterday.

TA-DA too

Okay so I hope to have a productive day today too. SO i thought I would add a ta-da list too. Lura inspired me.

SO far today

* Worked out at the gym
*lots of weight machine and 45 minutes on the elliptical machine a little over 3 miles.
* Loaded and started dishwasher
* 1 Load of laundry
* answered all Craig's list emails
* paid energy bill

That's all so far.

Last night Ryan signed up for Cub Scouts. he is so excited. He will be a wolf cub. On the 30th he has his first little meeting type thing. It is a big pack meeting and they are going fishing and playing games at a local park. It should be fun. We may even do a over night sleep out in July.

Still to do today

* clean bathroom--did it
* straighten up living room--did it
* vacuum living and dining rooms-- all done
* put away clean dishes
* fold laundry--yep this too
* fill goodie bags for Ry's party
*list more stuff on Craig's list
*take out trash
*take recycling bin

We'll see if I get that done and I will add more!!

What do you think?

I made a camera strap for our camera. I hate the ones that come with cameras because they are so stiff and rough, they hurt my shoulder, especially with this heavy camera. So what to you girls think? It is made of elastic so it doesn't feel so heavy and it is soft. Also the light green thread I used for Mickey and Minnie glow in the dark.

And then there were 3

we now have 3 baby birds.

Updates

I lost 3 more pounds this week. Slow and steady!! That is a total of 25 pounds!! I can wear my smaller jeans and they aren't even tight!

Kevin has lost 20 pounds since my birthday. So a little over 3 weeks. He needs all new clothes! We are going to try and wait a bit longer because he is still losing quickly!

It rained through most of my yard sale! We did manage to make $238.00. Dad made $15.00 but he only had a few things that were in my garage so that was good. I still have some sales pending from Craig's list. I also left everything set up in the garage and I may do it again in a couple of weeks. If I can find a weekend with enough time!!

2 of our baby birds have hatched. Ryan is thrilled. Sunday morning Kevin checked and there was 1 baby. We went to Costco and when we got back Ryan went out to show Grammy and there were 2. He is so excited. We have bird living in our basketball hoop pole too. They have a nest in there every year, we just can't see them. They steal our dogs hair for their nest though. Again that excites Ryan so I took Violet outside and brushed her yesterday, there should be enough hair for about a thousand birds to make nest now!!

I guess that is it today. I have to get started on my HUGE to do list for today. Chow!!

busy busy week

so i am having a yard sale this saturday. nothing like i usually have but it is free this weekend and a couple other people around here have already started so hopefully i can get some people and sell some stuff. i put an ad on craig's list and have already gotten 2 e-mails about some of my stuff so hopefully that will workout well. i am selling all kinds of crap so if any of you are looking for something i probably have it...hee hee.

kevin has been fasting this week because his diabetes doctor is testing his blood sugar and he has to be on a very stricked diet for the next couple of weeks. i think it will end up being good for us both. we have been going to the gym and working out every night and i am still doing my momday, wednesday friday workouts in the mornings. he has lost almost as much weight as me and it has only been a few days...not fair!! but it will be so good for him.

disney is only 36 days away and i have a ton to do. i have ryan's birthday party to plan and do, plus his cupcakes for school. his teacher is retiring this year so there is a big party for her on june 1st and i have to bake for that and make some signs. david's birthday party is going to be here so my house has to be cleaned and ready to go by the 25th. plus end of school stuff. mother's day...boy i have a lot going on in the next 35 days. i will be so happy to just sit and ride for 13 hours to disney!!

have a great day ladies! oh and boys. ( dad, david and kev) gotta go get my baby from school.
