I need some summer reading material!!

During the summer the girls and I go to the library a couple of times a week to get books and they always have an art activity or something. Anyway, last year I had a reading list and actually finished 15 books in the summer (no small feat for a mom of 2!!). I can't seem to find anything I really want to read. So I want suggestions. I love almost anything, well no science fiction please it's just not my thing!! I even like books geared more toward teenage girls, I know it's a little lame. Anyway, let me know what books you like.

Rain, rain go away. . . .

I am so sick of this weather!! When will the warm sunshine come to Idaho? I am freezing all the time. This weather is really putting a snag in my running. My girls just sleep so much better when they get to run outside and ride bikes. Oh, by the way Emma learned how to ride her bike without training wheels a couple of weeks ago!! Anyway here are some random pics of us.

More Vegas Pics

We took so many pictures I had to do it in two parts. Enjoy!!!!

Vegas Baby!!!!

We have never taken a family vacation before, so we decided it was time. We got great flights out of Idaho Falls and after a little planning, we were off!! Our friends the Jenkins fam met us there for one day and we had a blast with them. Thanks guys!! We had so much fun, the girls loved all the lights, the swimming, the MGM lions, the chocolate factory. . . One of our favorite things we did was the tournament of kings. It was a dinner show about King Arthur and the knights of the round table. We ate a chicken dinner with our hands, no utinsels allowed!! Plus Vegas has GREAT shopping. We visited the wax museum and of course ate tons of yummy food. We have sooooo many pics so I'll post more later too.

Let the blogging begin!

My pics are finally on my computer and now I can blog!! We traded our broken down loader thing, so here we go. First I'll start with the girls birthdays. Emma turned 5 on Valentines Day and Eliza turned 3 on March 14th. They are EXACTLY 25 months apart. I mean to the hour. For Emma"s birthday we went bowling and had cake and ice cream. For Eliza's we went to a matinee and had cake and ice cream. We kept their birthdays simple this year and I loved it.

I'm working on it!!!

Well. I've figured it out!! It's not me. I thought I was just technologically illiterate, but Seth worked on it last night and the little thingy that puts the pics on the computer is broken. Now I have to go to Walmart and get all my pictures on disc, then put them on my computer and then I can finally blog!! Then sometime next week I have to go to Best Buy and exchange my thingy (I know, I'm really up on computer lingo!!). Anyway there will be pictures soon. I have so much to catch up on. On a side note, I ordered a comforter set. It should be here soon!! Now my next mission is pea soup colored green sheets!!

Random. . . .

I know, it's been forever!!! I don't know how to download pics from my new camera!!! Anyway I need some help. I am changing my room colors. It just so happens that the colors and bedding I want match the wallpaper on this blog. I know what I want, I just can't find it!! They used to have it at wal-mart. Now it's gone online and in all the stores in Idaho and Utah!! Yes I called almost every one:) If you know where I could find one please let me know. It's called Springmaid Lynnwood queen comforter set. Or one really similar would be great. I have looked all over the internet. Not even on Ebay. It's sold out everwhere.
Oh on a happier (and warmer!!) note, we are leaving for Vegas tomorrow for 5 days!!! We are flying and staying at the Excalibur. Emma and Eliza are sooooo excited to sleep in a castle and to see Caleb and Trevor. I am looking forward to some sunshine. It felt like the middle of January today here. I will post pics when I get back. Yes, I really will!!
