Clint is the monkey in the middle. They had so much fun in the pool today...it was just constant laughter.

Now that baseball is over, this is his new sport. Just hope he doesn't slice it and hit it over into Groucho's yard!

Believe it or not, I'm still cleaning up from the party! It was so fun though! I wish we could do it again!

We went down to Millenium Park for the 'Shelebration' today! A concert celebrating all things Shel Silverstein. Shelby, Annie & Bryce had more fun, though, at the Cloud Gate!

Went swimming at Colleen's today. That's Aunt Mary Lou watching Cole, Stephen, Shelby and Annie play in the pool. She stood there and watched them for a long time (45 minutes-an hour). While the kids were swimming I was filling out the paperwork to register Vaughn for school. When I got done with that I started looking at my new Rachael Ray magazine. That's the ad that I saw when I opened it. I am still very confused by it...gotta go look at one at the news stand and see if they all say "Cole-Geneva, IL"

When Nikki was living here, we could never find any nail clippers or tweezers. In the last few days, I have cleaned out a couple of closets and lookie what I found! Maybe now things will get put back in their proper place and I won't have to buy any more.

The baby pups (and all of the other adoptable dogs we had at our house today) got a lot of attention from everyone who came to our house after the parade.

Today I was sooo sick. It started a little yesterday but now I feel horrible. Spent all day playing wii mario kart. I think James might have a cold now too. Wish we could have made it to the baptism but we were too sick.

Sorry we missed Gianni's baptism. We went to a birthday party for one of my child care kids. There were only 4 kids there, and one was his sister, and one was his cousin. Out of 12 child care kids invited, only Madi and another went. I had a feeling that would happen, so that is why I chose to go to this little boy's party instead of the baptism. Let me just say that I am very disappointed at the attitudes of some people.

Some of the teenagers that are going on the mission trip. They are enjoying doughnuts as they wait for the vans to arrive. I don't know the first two girls...but the third girl is Alex (Amanda's sister) and then there's Amanda (Vaughn's girlfriend) and then Justin (Amanda's brother) and then Vaughn.

A while back I posted a picture of this plant. It is all that is left of a plant that I took home from Mom's funeral. There was just one leaf left. But look, a new leaf has sprouted! I don't know if I should plant this back in dirt, or leave it alone in the water. I definitely do not have a green thumb!

Today was the first time James played with his grill. He wants to be just like Dad.
Marla July 10, 2009
One of these things just doesn't belong here...Now I understand why the tire on the van was flat today.
Margie July 10, 2009
Well, there it is. But it's not hooked up. I didn't want to pay for delivery or hook up - figured that I could do it myself. But that silver coil thing and strange connector things got the better of me. So, my friend Dean (aka Tom Cruise) is coming in the morning to hook it up.

My stupid phone has decided to not allow me to send text messages...after several attempts of talking with customer service and going to the att store, it seems that it's hopeless. So, the only option I have is to buy a new phone....but, I won't be doing that now...So, I if I don't reply to the text you send me, don't be offended! : (

We spent all night packing for Vaughn and Eric's mission trip. They are going with St. John Neumann church to work in a poverty stricken area of Kentucky in the Appalachians

James loves his puppy. So tomorrow we find out Boy or Girl. What do you think were having??
Marla July 8, 2009
Got a manicure and pedicure today. Then they talked me into getting my eyebrows and lip waxed. I've never had anything waxed before...it really wasn't that bad.

My oven has been broken for a couple of months now. I finally was able to get a new one today. Can you guess which one I got? I was also trying to figure out how to put together a photo montage in the size of one photo, but finally gave up. While at the store, Jesse & Madi got silly and I have pictures of Madi in a bathtub, sitting on a toilet, and wearing a lampshade on her head. Good times!

Yucky, rainy day today.....we did a lot of entertaining with the rattle socks and underneath the jungle gym...G is also working on being on his belly! Growing so fast!

I put James in his crib for a nap and picked something up off the floor came back up and saw he was looking right at me. Just standing there. This was his first time doing this new trick.

Quick shot of a complete (finally) and clean kitchen before cooking my first meal in the new house. YEAH! Tortellini Alfredo!

One of our new puppies! There are two little girls like this & their mom. The babies are about 6 weeks old & no bigger than a large guinea pig right now. It's nice having puppies to take care of, again!

I broke down and bought new blush at Wal-mart last night ($2 haha). But I still will probably use the old one for another month? Cheap....

When Nikki was about 12, Santa gave her this velvet embossing kit for Christmas. It has sat in the box for all these years. Tonight Madison and I began to work on it. It is really cool. After we stamp the designs on the fabric with an iron, we are going to sew them into 2 purses. Gabby saw us doing it, and now she wants to get some fabric and make some too!

Cole and Gianni had a play date! Cole is so good with babies....maybe Marla and Eric should have more? : )
