Labor Day Weekend at Little Sahara

Allan and Amy, sportin' our camping look.

Kenzi, chillin' on the 400.

Carson, making funny faces. I was surprised how much time he spent inside the trailer! Usually he is attracted to the dirt like a magnet!

Rylee, showin' us a new way to wear goggles. They are cute on her no matter how she wears them!

Caleb and Kenzi, getting ready to go for a ride. On this same ride, Caleb came back bleeding because he wrecked on the 4-wheeler. But he's fine now, just a cut on his chin and some pretty nasty bruising and swelling.

Allan, Tia, Carson and Rylee goin' for a ride! They were wishing the Rhino was the sand car all weekend...
Rylee celebrated her 3rd birthday while we were at the dunes. We had cupcakes to celebrate.

A Good Day! The blitchfest is over!

After all of my complaining lately, I thought that I should share some good news! Today was a GREAT day!

We won our court case against a slime ball who didn't pay for their landscape. We got the amount owed, attorney's fees plus interest, which will continue to accumulate until the whole amount is paid. Whoo-Hoo! The funniest part? It is a lawyer who owes it to us! And he didn't even bother to show up to court! Worked out in our favor. Now we get to go after his assets. Maybe he has a laptop that I can replace mine with, LOL!

I went to lunch with my niece Tia and her adorable daughter, Rylee. We went to a new place here called Pirate's Island or something like that. Its a really cool place. The local paper was there and they took pictures of "Cap'n Jack" serving us lunch. Well, I don't think he got me in any of the pictures but he definitely got Rylee and Tia. Glad I was sitting in the corner! Then the kids went to the arcade and played for a while.

I got home and on my door step were all 3 of my monthly scrapbooking auto ships and my new DVR. YAY! I really love my cute kits that I get every month and someday I fully intend to use them. And my DVR just gives me warm happy feelings.

Then, later on the doorbell rang and my candles that I ordered are here. More importantly, my auto air fresheners are here. I love good smellies.

Oh and we found our new toy hauler! We sold our RV a few months ago because it just wasn't what we needed. We found a toy hauler for more than half the price and tons more room. I can't wait to go out and use it. It is fabulous!

***I do have to take Caleb to the orthodontist because he has an under bite and his front top teeth are getting beaten up by the front bottom teeth. But we had anticipated this and so we will finally be using some of the money we saved up for braces for our kids. So not bad news necessarily, just news! Caleb is not happy about getting braces. But he will get over it when he can have multi-colored rubber bands on his braces. That's the part he keeps talking about.***

Ten on Tuesday

I'm going to try this new ten on Tuesday thing to remind me off all the crazy stuff I do all week. Someday I'm sure I'll want to remember it, LOL

1. Went to breakfast with my fab friends, Emma, Shana and April. It was lovely.

2. Took Carson to the dentist for the 1st time. No cavities, YAY!

3. Went to my first Enrichment Committee meeting, we planned out the rest of super Tuesday which is sure to be fun.

4. I walked 4 miles which for me is awesome.

5. Finished my visiting teaching for the month. YAY done a week earlier than usual!

6. Went to Caleb's soccer game. It was a tie. They played awesome, the best I've seen them play to date.

7. Went to church and watched the primary program and bawled like a baby off and on the whole time. LOVED IT!

8. Kenzi came over this weekend and as a punishment for lying to me, I made her clean the playroom. I'm sure she'll never lie again after that, LOL!

9. Played crazy rummy with Tia, Stacha and Kenz. I won.

10. Helped Nicki plan the ultimate scrapbook room for Nat. I wished that I lived up there so that I could have helped her! It was cool to be included even though I live 300 miles away.

That was my last week in a nutshell.
