The WEED

Yes, this is a weed, a GIANT weed. We were out doing some yard work and we had to have Dad help with this one. We get this weed every year in the same spot and it is always HUGE! So this weed has become a tradition for our family. We just thought we better take a picture this time. Everyone getting ready to PULL!!!!
The girls are telling dad to pull a little harder! Poor little Gracie in the back!
And THEY DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good bye weed until next year!

What do we do now?

We have had a houseful of FUN company this last week. Kelly's family left yesterday and now the girls and I don't know what to do! We all went to bed crying last night.Taylor came in after crying for about 1/2 hr and wanted to lay with me because she was so...sad. Thanks Mom & Dad Allred for always making our times together so much fun! We love you so very much and appreciate ALL that you do. I have the BEST in-laws EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mike, Steph and little Kaden we love you too! You are always such a joy to have around. Kaden we miss you already and will buy some otter pops just to remind us of your visit.( I think the boy eats 6-8 a day) What do we do now is the big question? MOVE BACK HOME!!!!!!!!

My new best friend!!!!!!

I wanted to introduce to you All my new best friend! CLUB SODA! This stuff is great at getting stains out of carpets. We just got our carpets cleaned last month and can I tell you that since then the kids and the DOG have trashed them. Well a friend told me about this Club Soda thing and so I was desperate to get pink marker (hot pink) out of the carpet that the dog got a hold of. Well 3 days later I got some club soda and I just now poured in on the carpet let it sit for about 1 min. Then took a dry rag and blotted it up. I didn't even scrub. Well The pink marker is no longer there! AMAZING!!!!!!! So my tip for the day is treat yourself to some CLUB SODA ( the small bottle's so you can save it and keep the fiz) The best part about it is that it only cost me 69 cents.

What about the BLOG!

I can't beleive that it has been so ....long since I have last updated my blog.(at least I'm not the only one!) I even have pictures to post. I just have not had 2 seconds to do it. And I am not even doing it now because my camera is in the car and I don't want to go get it at the moment. I just thought that I would take a few minutes and update. My life has been BUSY, BUSY, BUSY the last few weeks. Seems like something every single day and night. And now I am getting ready for company to come in. Which I am so....excited for! So to my family and friends, I am so sorry that I have dropped off the face of the earth. Now that school is out it will be better. I have been working for Kelly's company making phone calls each day and having your husband for your boss really sucks when he is nagging you to get the work done. So that is how I spend the mornings. And then by the time I get my household morning started it is almost noon. The kids have been busy with dance and gymnastic recitals. Thank goodness that is over for the summer, but now we start baseball and cheerleading and still gymnastics camp so it still never ends! I will do better at blogging when life slows down ( will that EVER happen )
