Checking out the water works

We are trying to find the perfect splash park close to home. We will be checking out some others next week, too. We went back to the one we had already visited, but this time we took the other kids with us (and daddy). Then, we checked out another one yesterday. It is even closer to home, but not even on the same scale of greatness as the first park. So, we are still on the lookout for the best one that is, also, the closest to home.

Dancing machine

There is one show that I keep on the DVR for Morgan. It is an episode of the Wiggles. She (and even Jaden) likes the Walking on the Moon song. She dances and sings to it every time.

Gratitude (Foundation For A Better Life)

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity...It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

"Get the tat that brings kids back"

What do you think? $19.95 for 30 tattoos... I guess the other way to do it would be use some safe for skin ink and just write it on their arm... Anyway, check it out, and tell me what you think of this new idea. http://www.safetat.com/

Josh turns TWO!!!!

Josh turned two on May 18th!! Yay!! The day before his big day, we celebrated at his house with BBQ, cake, and friends. For a month, Rebekah and Josh get to both say they are 2 years old... It takes a tough mommy to have babies born less than a year a part!!!

Getting ready for sleep at the slumber party

All of the girls are getting ready to go to sleep... At this point, Amy called me to tell me that Jaden was ready to come home... She still had fun- Maybe next time she will stay for the "sleep" part.

Daytime at the slumber party

These are pictures from the slumber party that Jaden went to at Aunt Amy's house. Some of the pictures have James in them and also, Amy's other nieces that were at the party.

Memorial Day Carnivals and Sales

Well, we had a great Memorial Day celebration (a day early). I got the girls down for a nap early. After they woke up, we (the girls and I) headed out to the mall to see if we could find a dress for each of them for professional photos. I have an appointment set up for them to get their pictures taken tomorrow, so we went in search of the perfect outfit... I never did find it. However, they were having some GREAT sales!! JCPenny had most of their stuff at buy one get one for 99 cents. Plus, I had a coupon for $10 off. It was amazing how many outfits I was able to get them for so cheap. In fact, the chairs that they are sitting in at the top of this post were pried at $35 a piece. I got them for $8 a piece!!! The chairs are collapsible, so we can take them on outings, too. I put the outfits that I bought on that montage you see on this post. I got all of those clothes for $100!!! Whoo Hoo!!

After our shopping spree, we came back home and ate. Then, we sprayed ourselves down with bug spray and headed back out. We went to a small carnival down the street. As you can see, there was a lot for the girls to do. They even had their first sno-cones. Jaden got to dunk the man in the dunking booth (with someone's help pushing the trigger from behind as she threw the ball).
