The Amercan Girl doll store..

Kiersten has been wanting to go here since she learned it was close by and today we finally went.  I earned some good mommy points on this one for sure!  It's nice to know that it's so close by so we can go back when we want and not have to go crazy!  We got Nikki's hair done and Kiersten got some accessories she has been wanting.  I have one happy girl!

Wow...it's been a long time!

My life has pretty much turned into a few sentence updates on facebook these days and the blog has been left on the wayside!  Sorry to anyone that follows...I'll try better here.  :)  We will see how that goes. 

I was excited this morning to see my photo as one of the finalist for a grandparent photo contest I entered and wanted to put that out here for those that aren't on facebook.  You can vote for me if you want...I'm #20! 

Here is the picture a little bigger with the details I so love with the contrast of the new skin against the old.  This is my grandma holding her first great great grandchild.  You can vote by clicking on this link...

Castle in the Corn

Our first soccer game!

We had our first soccer game on Saturday and we WON! 3 to 1! It was so fun to watch Steve be the coach and to see the girls look up to him for encouragement and direction...he makes a great coach and I knew he would! And it was wonderful to see my little smiley girl back on the field! She has a smile on her the whole game no matter what she is doing and I have missed that. I love going to her games and watching the joy she gets out of being on the field. It was a great game and we played a great team as well. Can't wait for more!

Bath time for Izzy!

Kiersten and her best friend gave Izzy a bath and a haircut and Izzy loved every second of it...NOT! She looks so funny when she is all wet! But so pretty when she is all done!
