NEW KITTIES!!

Our neighbors cat had kittens sometime early this morning. We knew she was getting close but Clare went out this morning and heard them all!!! I had told the girls we could have one as long as it is an outside cat. I DO NOT DO CATS!!! Never had them growing up and they really kind of freak me out a little. Anyway, they are the cutest ever. I don't know that I have ever seen them this little before. Katie kept talking about their "biblical cord". I finally corrected her after I had laughed hysterically several times.

NEW SHOES!!

Roy brought me home some new running shoes today!!! I was so excited because the shoes I had I have had for probably about 4 years. Not good for running. Anyway, I guess it is the little things in life when you get this age!!!

JUST CALL ME MARTHA TODAY!!

I love days like today that don't come too often but we had absolutely nothing going on today after I dropped the girls off from the sleepover. No soccer, no practice, no nothing!! So first of all, Kaysi wanted me to make some homemade ranch so she could eat it with her carrots and I must say it was delicious!! Then I had the stuff to make a homemade pizza!! YUM YUM delicious as well. And to top it all off we made a butterscotch pie!! It is so easy to make and absolute so yummy---The girls helped with all and so I was snapping photos and irritating the fire out of them---

Is this a beautiful pizza or what???

Kaysi eating her carrots and did I mention homemade ranch?? Oh yeah I did---

I need to rewrite this recipe but I just can't bring myself to do it!!

It is that sentimental thing that I am so OCD about

Just in case you are wondering this is the correct posture for mixing

Kaysi is not demonstrating the correct posture here.

Katie B hard at it!!

Notice the flour on the arms and head they threw in just for the effect!!!

The finished product!!

KATIE'S SLEEPOVER

Katie had 3 friends over last night for her birthday. We went to the Wharf which is an outdoor type mall with mainly specialty stores and restaurants. Anyway, they have a Build A Bear and Dippin Dots so that is where she wanted to go. The girls had fun but I have to say they were a handful. Roy actually went and stayed at the condo and left me alone!!! Imagine that!!

WE WON!!!

Kaysi had a tournament in Panama City this past weekend and they won the whole thing!!! They were so excited and so were all the parents!! It was a lot of fun and we even played up an age which made it even more challenging but the girls did awesome!! here are a few pics from the weekend---

Several families stayed at the same hotel. My kids are so sheltered!! They act like they have never stayed at a hotel before!!! It was so fun though--

A few weeks ago my neighbor had asked us to watch their kids for the weekend so they could go to a wedding. At the time I did not know about this tournament!! Well, they came with us!! They had a ball too!!!

Here are a few of the moms. I have no idea what that look is on my face but anyway, here is proof that I actually have made some friends. Count them will you???? I can even name them if you want me to----

Here is Katie B with some of the "little sisters"

GO #4!!!!!!!!!!!

THE CHAMPIONS!!!!

One tired group of girls!!!

MY ANGEL TURNED "10"

My sweet little Katie B turned 10 on Monday. We have kind of made it a tradition that they don't go to school on their birthday!! I know, I know I am horrible. Anyway, it did not take much to wake her up yesterday morning!! She was so excited!! She absolutely loves birthdays!! More than the average child I think. Anyway, we went shopping and she got a new Webkinz, some craft stuff and Kaysi bought her a purse. Then we went to Outback for dinner. She is having some girls over Friday to spend the night.

SO PEACEFUL!!!

She is ready for the birthday to begin!!

Heading to the mall!!

She wanted to buy this little box and some paints to decorate it!! She was so proud of it!!

The little boy next door gave her $5.00 and some pencils to go with her art easle--

This is the purse Kaysi bought her!! All she kept saying was that it had a built in wallet!!

The little things in life huh????

This is the art easle the neighbors gave her--

Finishing up the day at Outback!!

ONLY KRISTER WILL APPRECIATE

okay don't anyone even ask. Kristi and I used to do this with our toes for whatever reason. She could actually do it better because she had the toes for it. Anyway, I am trying to get back in good graces with all my blog friends especially Krister so here is a tribute to memories----

Cindy's Visit

Cindy came through a few weeks ago. They had been at Disneyworld!! Imagine that!!! Anyway, we met for dinner and the girls loved getting to see each other!!!

One of Sammie's friends came with her, she is in the middle of Rose and Sammie

HURRICANE GUSTAV!!!

Yes we were crazy and went out to the beach last Monday when Gustav was coming through. Our neighbors went with us. Actually there were a lot of people on the beach experiencing the whole hurricane thing. It was really amazing. And the thing is when it hit us it was just a tropical storm. I can't even imagine a full blown hurricane---------Anyway, here are some pics and a video.
