My GREAT decision!!

For those of you who have been following my blog you know I have been redoing my bedroom. I started with blue and green carpet, blue walls, ugly curtains and our bed on the floor.



I painted the walls green, pulled the carpet, kept the ugly curtains-because they were handmade and very expensive(which I now really like) and I put our bed on a bedrail(which we haven't had in five years.) I still need to hang pictures, hang my big mirror, decorate and buy a comforter BUT I am so excited at how good my bedroom looks that I had to post it right now. I love my bedroom-I feel like for the first time in 7 years we have an adult bedroom. Yeah!!

Our new Patio set.

Some of my parents friends are moving to Florida and sold us alot of their outside stuff. we got a patio set(with six chairs), two recliner chairs, a storage box for the cushions, and a grill-and all for a great price. It is beautiful and I am so grateful.

Relaxing Fun.

Today we went to our favorite park. It is about 10 minutes north of West Bend and 40 minutes north of where we live now. We haven't been there yet this summer but there is something magical about it. There are so few people there and the kids love it. It always seems like as soon as we get there I forget about life and my concerns and it is always so fun. Of course fun isn't fun unless my sisters kids are there! The kids even caught a tiny little frog which lucie held in her hand.

Fourth of July!

For the fourth of July my parents, grandparents and little sister Alana came over for the parade and a bbq. It was a blast, the parade was 1/2 a block away and the fireworks were about 4 blocks away. These are all pictures from the fourth, and fifth. Grandpa and Josh tried to fix a rocket launcher, grant pushed alana on a bike, etc.

Lucie's first time riding with no training wheels!

Josh put lucie's pedals back on and lucie rode her bike pretty good. I warned her that pants and the right shoes would make a big difference BUT of course we don't listen to mom so she wore a dance leotard, sandals, and her undies were stickin' out. It was hilarious-but cute.

Fishing with Dad!

I don't usually take pictures in black and white but last minute we decided to go fishing and my kids didn't match and they looked dirty so I figured black and white made it look a little better. They had a blast-they both love fishing with dad.
