Bath Time

I just caught Aliah and Inara in the tub. Aliah had hoisted Inara in and then with all of their clothes on and no water was washing Inara's hair with conditioner. Awesome. Thanks for your "help" dear.

I made dinner tonight. I haven't done that in a long time. Woot! Do you do that? Do you go ages without actually preparing a meal for your family? Probably not. You're all Martha and Betty and whoever the perfect mother is rolled into one huh. I think so. Just admit it, you are. I'll try to be more like you.

P.S. I made sweet and sour chicken and it was SO good and SO worth it!

A Sunday Adventure

Today after church we wanted an adventure. So we packed a lunch, hopped in the car and drove.
We ended up at Strawberry Reservoir.

Spencer made this fire without any matches or a lighter.
He's such a good boy scout!

Free Sham Wow

Do you have one of these?
(The Sham not the guy.)
I do.
It's the greatest invention for anyone with kids or pets.
(I have both so it's used daily around these parts.)

Here's a link to a little freebie. ***http://www.avoniablue.com/offer5_entry.php*** You just fill out a small survey (seriously small) and give them your address and email. They don't want any credit card info or anything. They say they are sending you the free Sham Wow for filling out the survey but I'm thinking the way they can give it away is because they sell your information. Not a really big deal. A little more junk mail. One thing I do is I have two different free email addresses (gmail, and hotmail). I use one for regular emailing and the other just to sign up for stuff or order things online. Then I don't get any junk mail in the email account that I use daily. It works well for me. Anyway I thought I'd pass this on because

everyone NEEDS a Sham Wow,
and anything that is FREE is good!

PERFECTION.

The Big One

My baby is

Can you believe it?!
We've gone from this

to this

in one short year.
We celebrated with cake

and Nara's favorite

FIREWORKS!

Can you tell?

Inara is such a bundle of joy! I can't believe how lucky we are to have her in our family! Her personality is through the roof. She smiles at everyone. Even strangers at the store will stop to say hi when she gives them a toothy grin. She can wave and she can clap. And she sings when we're driving in the car, and always dances if there is music on. It is so sweet to see her grow up and become her own person. I'm so proud of her and how good she is when putting up with Aliah. She's always just a sweetheart no matter if she's getting loved or shoved. Inara is such a blessing. I couldn't wish for a sweeter baby. She's perfect, and I love her more then I can even understand.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BIG BABY GIRL!
