I know I haven't written in a while but things have been crazy, exciting, suspenseful and most of all busy the last few weeks. All good things are coming though. We put an offer on a little house last week and the people accepted. We close on the house in 10 days. It's a little house, about 1,700 sqft and sits on two acres of land. Perfect for Stella and I!! I'm holding my breath till all the paper work is signed and sealed before I let my self get too excited but it's getting hard not to be excited. Picture to come soon, promise.

Keep your fingers crossed...Stella and I might have a place of our very own soon! Details to follow!

What a week. The preconception of taking it easy during summer break does not apply in this family. Apparently when summer break comes along we seem to get busier. Stella started a 3 1/2 week summer school booster program and tennis camp this last week. My poor mom has logged more hours in the car driving between Estes and Boulder then I think she's logged in the last two months. We are busier then ever at work but with all this rain the last few weeks, all of our quarries are flooded and we're unable to pull the rock that we need. Luckily we have kick ass customers and they understand that we have no control over Mother Nature. We were getting a little worried at the beginning of our busy season that things weren't picking up but the worry only lasted for a minute and now we're in full swing! Stella ripping the ball across the net. My lil one ROCKS! :) Stella, Ryan, Connor and I at our favorite sushi spot for Ryan's last night in town on Saturday. We h...

My new favorite product. Since I've been weening myself off coffee and trying to kick my silly caffeine fix, I figured it would be a good time to whiten my teeth. I've tried a few different products but Go Smile by far has been the best one. Go Smile is quick and easy. It's a little pricier then most products but you definitely get what you pay for. I am a firm believer that if you find something good or that works, you should pass the word on, so here is my add for Go Smile! Now go out and get it so you too can have some pearly whites. :) On to a weekend update.... I was minus the lil one (at dad's) and minus the foo (hunting) this weekend. It was nice to kick back and slow it down a little and enjoy some me time. I got in a few work outs, a little work, some great conversation and some beers Saturday and Sunday with friends. Good times. Happy Monday .....Wishing Tommy a happy and safe trip!

The Annual Crocs warehouse sale is happening this weekend. Last year was our first year that we went and this year was just as crazy as last. Although I am not a big fan of Crocs they are pretty darn comfortable and actually allow me to be on my feet all day with pretty minimal impact on my knees. Picture this...a warehouse full of millions of Crocs all on sale for $5 to $10. You can't beat that! They also have a sister company brand that makes some pretty killer flip flop (my favorite) on sale there too. Here is what I ended up with, 6 pairs of shoes... $30 ( woot ). Stella and my mom were on their way down there this afternoon (seeing as I have to work) to stock up on some Crocs for Stella. Stella and Tommy at her end of 3rd grade dinner. She wanted steak so we went out and got her steak. :) Tommy met up with us for dinner and a movie unfortuanley Connor couldn't make it beacause he had a few meetings and had to pack for a hunting trip this weekend. He was missed but in s...

The goofy little monkey on the right is finishing up third grade today! She makes me one proud mama! We had a little toast over breakfast this morning and tonight I want to take her out for a little dinner celebration! We still have 3 1/2 weeks of summer school (non-mandatory, but a good prep for 4 th grade) ahead of us but that will be easy- peasy . It's 1/2 day class for 4 days a week. Not bad, she's a little bummed but in the long run it will be good for her. We've got some trips scoped out after she's done, two months of play time isn't bad. Summer feels like it's finally here, although it's a little gloomy out today. So in the spirit of being a little kid and being excited for summer break.....HAPPY THURSDAY!

This morning at 6 am both my dad and I did the salt water cleanse. This was my first venture into the colon detox area and I was a little nervous. Two hours later, 1/2 a gallon of salt water, and a bunch of yoga stretches, I was all done and cleaned out. I'm trying to drop a few pounds of winter weight, not a whole lot, about 5lbs. Hopefully this will start me on the right track! Happy Wednesday!
