Just because

Isn't she just wonderful?

Oh dear.

Hello blog,

It's been a while. And to be quite honest, unless something great, funny, or awkward happens soon, it'll probably be a while til I am back.

See the thing is, I am busy. Like, really busy. And my Peyton, she's been sick. Like, really sick. And I just don't have time for you right now.

The good news is my friend, I am off all next week. I'll just be me & the girls. I just bet I'll have some sort of somethin to tell you then.

My regards,
Stacey

YeeHaw!

We went to some friends house for a BBQ on Memorial day Sunday, and they were gracious enough to allow our kids to ride their horse. In dresses, and, ahem, flip flops. Nice eh?

1 Park = 3 Happy Kids

I promised my kids a trip to the park on the way home from dropping my niece Olivia off a few weekends ago when we had the Libbsters for the weekend. And as you can well see, the park makes for 3 very happy girls. I love it.

This is for you Bubba

Jack Jack. I could just gobble him up.

Iiiinnnntroooduuuciiinnng! .............

The PRE-SCHOOL GRADUATE! Alex made it through Pre-school and is officially, dare I say it, a KINDERGARTENER. Way to Go Alex!

Hows abouts a little game of 3 on 3?

Maddy was invited to play with another team for a 3 on 3 soccer tournament a couple weekends ago. It was a fun, HOT, & exhausting day for her. She was such a trooper! Good job Maddy!


If you click on the picture below, you will see that 1. Maddy is still sucking her thumb. At 7. And 2. Her index finger is knuckle deep in her nose. That is so a genetic trait from good ol Dad.

Maddy's team, The Mud Monkeys!

Oh Peyton

Just because this shot makes me happy. Hope it makes you happy too.

Trav has a secret.

I was just listening to my hub give the babe a bath, and I hear him whisper:

"You are just the cutest little baby girl. I think you are even cuter then your sisters were at your age. But shhh, this is just between us."

Aaaawe.

Boyfriend anyone? Anyone?

Wanted: A fun, spunky, outgoing girl to date my pretty cool brotha man.

Anyone? Come on. He's a pretty great guy. Not to mention, if you are reading this blog, you probably already know me and hey, that would give you more of a chance to hang with me. Win Win.

(he will so kill me for this.)

Oh, and if this guy isn't your type, I just so happen to have another single bro in law! I swear, all you singles out there, this is so your lucky day. Yes, my friends. This guy is pretty great too.

(yup, he'll probably wanna kill me too.)

Riddle me this.

Here's a riddle for you...

What do you get when you take a trip to the zoo, some really awesomely pretty days, one 50 hour work week, one freshly planted garden, with new raised beds might I add, (after working the 50 hour work week), then having one 11 month old niece staying over for 2 nights, one fun BBQ, one day spent taking said 11 mo old niece home to Tigard on, ahem, MEMORIAL DAY, and waking up one day (today) at 4:30 a.m. to get to work by 6:00 a.m. to get a couple hours of work in before ANOTHER trip to the zoo, this time chasing after 3 fun 1st graders, not to mention riding the school bus, shudder, then going back to work for another 2 hours after that wonderful trip, then taking 3 girls to a soccer practice for a 3 on 3 tournament happening this coming Saturday in 86 degree weather, after which you go home water the beautiful garden that was planted, then making dinner?

Oh, just one really exhausted Momma. And approximately 432 pictures to download.

No Big.

Can I get a comment around here?!

I don't know about you, but I am a terrible blog comment-er. As in, I normally just don't do it. NOT because I don't want to, mind you, but because I hardly ever read blogs from the actual blog sites anymore. WHY? I am so glad you asked! Its because I am Google Reader kinda girl. Its like my 17th favorite thing in the world. I mean, where else can you check out all the most recent posts of your favorite blogs in one place? You get to "subscribe" to the blogs you read, and voila! As soon as the author posts something, Google Reader, PICKS IT UP! So, to all of you fellow bloggers out there, who might not have heard of this Reader bidness, I encourage you to check it out. Let me know what you think!

Oh, I am going to make more of an effort to comment on my fave blogs now too, so don't leave me hangin if you love Google Reader as much as I do!

Fun in the sprinklers.

It is so beautiful out today, so I thought I would get the sprinklers out for the girls to play in! And don't mind my un-mowed yard. My hub is incredibly sunburned from working in his parents yard yesterday, and he just did not feel like working in our yard today. I don't blame him!

A day at the Zoo!

The girls & I went to the Zoo yesterday with my parents as well as my sister and her fam. It was a great day!
