I know that I've been bad about blogging. I'm going to try and get back into the groove now that summer has slowed down and school is about to start back up. But for now, I will just throw some pictures at you.
My Buzz Lightyears...
30th Birthday gift from my thoughtful friend, Rachel (I loved the packaging)...
measuring spoons from my favorite store, Anthropologie...
fun day at O2B Kids
hoppin' Siah...
artsy Olivia (with neighbors)...
so strong...
going the extra mile...
playing alone...
a turtle on our path...
looks like a mole/turtle...
Gee came and then had to leave...
Olivia and her "bag"...
sad to say goodbye...
oh my...
Summer is coming to an end.

What a huge turtle! I know you enjoyed your Mom coming. Looks like lots of fun was had by all. A package should arrive today or Monday.
Amy, your kids are just so precious! They all three seem to have such fun and unique personalities! All the pictures are adorable but I LOVE the picture of Olivia in goggles! Precious!!! :)
Fun pics! That kid place looks awesome - makes me want to play too! And yeah, Gee got to visit!! I love the bling, bling of Liv's purse! (and her goggles! HeeHee)
I love how easily Josiah took to the rings! ha! And that TURTLE! I had no idea it was that huge when the boys told me about it!!! I had a great time---hard to come home.
I am crying from laughing so hard. I love the pictures and miss your family. The gift was perfect for you. I'm glad you love it.
We most certainly need to get Andi and Olivia together. They would be hilarious!
I did get my $5 prize for locating the accordian case. I would have settled for a solo on said instrument. Of course, since we live 1,000 miles away, I guess this was the better choice. ha. Thanks for the cash. Starbucks can thank you as well :-)
Wow that is a turtle!! I love the pics as always and I really miss you right now.
Elizabeth was in her bed tonight and she out of the blue said "Mommy, I remember Isaac. I remember going to "school" at his house. Can we go see him and his brother?" She then prayed for Isaac and that we can go see them in Florida soon. That melted my heart.
Love your new measuring spoons! Those are really cool. Are we good after our "facebook" debate? Craig says I "mad", but I'm totally not--and I am pretty sure you aren't. Love you anyways!!
Woah - that turtle is HUGE!!!! I hope you don't have an alligator on your next walk...geeze! I never know what to expect in your pictures!
The gym looks so fun for the kids. I'm going to have to check out Anthopologie now...Rachel looks like she is a good shopper. I'm so glad you are back in blogville!
Just a few notes, in outline form...cause I'm a first child and can't help it...ha!
1. HUGE turtle! Goodness!
2. Olivia in her goggles is hillarious!!! I love it!
3. I have never heard of Anthropologie....so I googled it. Oh my. I should never have done that. I am in love. Why have I never heard of this store before?!?! Love your spoons! WTG Rachel!!
4. Thank you so much for the sweet note you left on my blog. Hard to explain, but it has gotten me thinking. And that is a good thing! :)
I'm late on this one. LOVE your new measuring spoons. I also love that store. Dangerous for sure!
I just can't believe how big your kids are. How's the new house? Let's blog again. I miss you guys.
Love the turtle!~ I'm just catching up on your blog... I LOVE the picture of Olivia and her friend Jane! and the one where she's eating the bagel is HILARIOUS!!!!@@#!@!
Your house looks soooo cute.
And I also LOVE anthropologie.
all for now, Miss Amy~!
Jean- We did have fun with Mom. Well, we mainly worked, but it was fun. She sent Jay and I out on 2 dates! Yipee!!
Kallie- I told my mom while she was here that not one of my kids could be accused of being boring. They definitely have lots of personality!
Dawn- The O2B Kids place is fun. It was a free day that they had, otherwise we'd have to be members to go. But we are thinking of joining next year because they have a homeschool program that both boys could be apart of. Very cool!
Mom- It was hard to send you home not knowing when we'd see you next!!
Rachel- You liked those goggles, didn't you? I can see Sadie doing the exact same thing.
Jana- I'm sure they would keep us very well entertained. And the boys could entertain each other by playing superheroes.
Jay almost just sent you a Starbucks card. haha
Kara- I can't believe that Elizabeth remembers coming over for school. She was so little.
I told Isaac the story that you commented and he loved hearing it. Then he told me lots of details he remembered from Elizabeth coming over. What a sweet memory. You can tell her that I was her very first teacher. hahaha
Marcy- Come over and I'll cook you something with my new measuring spoons. Then we can disagree on politics. :)
Mindy- I, too, hope that we don't encounter an alligator on our next walk. We actually live about a mile from a pond filled with huge alligators. Not my kind of neighbor. But we still haven't seen one since living here (except for those at Gatorland). What I want to see are manatee!
Kayla- That Anthropologie is a dangerous place.
I've enjoyed "talking" with you.
Tamra- The house is great. I STILL need to buy more rugs to take the echo out of our house. But other things like broken dishwasher, plumbing, broken garage door opener, termite bond, and carpet have taken priority. Oh the joys of having your own home. :) We miss you guys, too!
Emily- The bagel and Olivia also cracked me up. If she eats something that large, she just keeps it shoved in her mouth like that and never takes it out until it's all gone. Hilarious.
