My New Hero

I have officially found my new hero! Please watch the whole thing, you won't regret it! I laughed SOOOOO hard! Oh, and watch it in High Quality, it's so much better!

Grustie for all

This morning as I was getting ready for the day Isabelle casually asked me if I gave birth to myself. Trying not to laugh too hard I asked, "What makes you think that?"

"Well," she said, "You're a mommy and don't have parents, so you had to give birth to yourself."

I then told her that my parents were her Grandma and Grandpa. This seemed to only confuse her more.

"But that makes you a child! And if you're a child, you can't give birth!" she exclaims.

I then said, "Well, everybody has a mommy and daddy -- even Grandma has a mommy and a daddy!"

"Oh?" she said. "What's her mommy's name?"

"Gustie"

"Grustie?"

"No, Gustie"

"Grustie? Hmmmm..... I think everybody should be named Grustie. Daddy, Trevor, and Kelly are now named Grustie."

"Sounds good to me" I said.

Small Crayon Tote

I saw this on Craftster today and I just thought they were soooooo cute! I'm thinking about making some for stocking stuffers (that's right, I already have Christmas on the brain). Here's the link in case you want to make some too!

Oh, and sorry I haven't been posting much.... I guess I've really gotten out of the habit with summer and all. Also, I've been doing a LOT of knitting which I would normally be showing off my progress and finished projects, but they are all Christmas gifts. If I show them off now, then the recipients will see them! So that's another reason for not posting much.
Here's a cute little picture Kelly took while I was knitting one day. I thought she did a pretty good job! There's no cropping or anything done to it.



On another note, Kelly started her 3rd week of school today. She's loving every single moment of it. She has a great teacher, goes to a great school, and the best part is she's in a class with her best friend from Kindergarten. Sometimes I can't believe how big she's getting. She turns 7 in just a couple of months which means in a little over a year she'll be getting baptized. How is that even possible? Here's a picture of her and Isabelle on the first day of school:



Kelly calls this dress her "Sunshine" dress because she says it looks like rays of sunshine coming down. What a cutie. I'm one blessed Mamma!

** P.S. I accidentally lost all of my links to people's blogs. I think I did a pretty good job of finding the majority of them. However, if you notice that your blog is not listed, please let me know!!!!

Going private

After a lot of thought I've decided to go private. So if you're still interested in reading the blog, I'll need your email address so I can add it. For those of you not familiar to blogger, if a blog is set to private, you will have to sign in to be able to read the blog. You will sign in using your email address. So yeah, if you still want to read the blog, just send your email address to:

okkelly@hotmail.com


That includes you too Janae!!! :-) The blog will remain public for several days to give everyone a chance to send me their email address. Thanks!

The end is here....

Well, it's been a great summer. Kelly starts school again next Tuesday and the late nights hanging out with friends must come to an end. Shane got to go on a overnight canoe trip with his young men:




I got to go to girls camp:



We went to a LOT of baseball games:


And of course, we did a lot of swimming!




Hope everyone else can enjoy the last days of their summer!
