Jocelyn is 6!

McKailyn's First Sleepover

McKailyn had her first friend sleepover last night!
Her "twin sister" Rachel invited her to spend the night and they had some serious fun!! After an evening of pizza and ice cream, they got to watch Disney. I just spoke to Rachel's mom and found out that McKailyn didn't go to sleep until 2am! Yikes. It should be a interesting day :-)

Jocelyn & Dad date night

Jocelyn had her first official date tonight, but don't worry....her date was a very attractive, intelligent, chivalrous, and well intentioned young man :-) We had a great time and enjoyed each other thoroughly. Since her birthday is in 2 days, Jocelyn got to call the shots, so, this is what we did:

1. The attractive young man dressed in a tie arrived to pick up Jocelyn and brought flowers!
2. Cashed her check from her Great Grandpa Vince
3. Dinner & Desert at Ci Ci's pizza (and the acquisition of the Billy Bob teeth)


4. Shopping at Kohls to spend Great Grandpa's gift (Hannah Montana's Secret Star Headset)
5. Orange Ice Cream Cones from The Cone

6. Singing Hannah Montana songs in the car
7. Making popcorn
8. Watching "A Secret Garden" while cuddling on the couch

Vacation Bible School

Are you a water filter?

Wednesday night Jill asked me to change the water filter. After one year of use, the filter notifies you that it's time for a new one...so we order the replacement and were anxious to see what the 1 year old filter now looked like. Check out the comparison! Gross!

I heard it said once..."Either you have a water filter or you are a water filter." Thankfully, we decided to let our ESpring filter out all the bad stuff from our water!

Rainy Summer Day

What to do on a rainy day in the middle of the summer?

Stay in your jammies and watch movies with your friends!!!

Scavenger Hunt

Last night the family went on a scavenger hunt organized by the local library. Jocelyn was in charge and did a great job of taking pictures of some of the bronze statues. I thought you might enjoy some of the pics....I think she did great for a five year old!



Guest photographer McKailyn snapped one of me before we left!

Thanks for the camera Grandma!

I'm RICK JAMES!

My brother Nick hangin' with his croonie Dave Chappelle at the music festival.

Well, Yes. I am a princess.

I even sleep like one.

Swimming Lessons

Both Jocelyn & McKailyn passed with flying colors!

Three's Company?

Maybe so in the bath....

Just The Way You Look Tonight

I have a special song for each of my girls...this happens to be Addison's. Please forgive me for not being a good singer.

Find me a husband

Last night (July 10)

Me: "McKailyn you are so awesome. I think I'm going to marry you."
McKailyn: "Dad, you can't marry me...you're already married!"
Me: "Oh, I guess you are right. Then who are you going to marry?"
McKailyn: "I don't know, but I guess you need to find me a husband!"

Once again, my children amaze me. It's hard to believe that just at 3 years old, she can even comprehend enough to tell me to find her a husband! :-)
