New items to add to my wish list...all from the Pottery Barn I have always wanted a bedroom set- never have had one...and I really like the bedding. My bedroom is so blah...
And I want new couches- not necessarily white...if I could do it all over again, I would not have bought the couches we have in our family room- they are too big for the space and there is no other way to arrange them then the way they are....


And finally- I would so love to have this by the pool....that would be heaven. Why does pottery barn have to be so darn expensive????

Being a "flyer"

Riley went to cheer camp last weekend...she loves everything about cheerleading, the dances, her friends, but really I think she loves being up in a stunt. Here one of the instructors is telling her how he will put her "up" on his hand. She is a little reluctant, which surprised me....
getting her started....


She's up! First of all, how in the heck does he do that, he literally just lifted her up. I love seeing the big smile on her face...:) Look at Jake's head on the bottom of the picture. He was amazed. She has no fear....

wow these last couple of weeks just flew by- I feel like I am a chicken with my head cut off...

Here is what my days have been like- go to work (usually have to type up & fix Mark's practice plan for the day) rush home pick up Tanner take him to practice, drive back home, get Riley & Jake, pick up another little girl, go to Riley & Jake's practice. Wait for Tanner to be done at 7:45, go home start dinner, Mark & the other 2 come home about 8:30 and then we eat dinner....nice huh? I am so exhausted by the time dinner is finished I fall asleep on the couch about 9:15. I haven't exercised in 2 weeks- yuck!

When I do have a spare minute, I am reading this book...it is pretty good, wish I had more than 5 minutes in a day to read it....

off to Palm Springs

Or should I say Rancho Mirage...we are staying here......
so the kids can play here....
Hopefully it won't be too HOT and I can relax a little bit. This season of JMM football is kickin' my butt. And Mark's...really, I don't think he is home more than 6 or 7 hours a day-and that is just to sleep- seriously.....

Is it bad...?

that I hid the PS3 and made my kids finish their chores before they could play it again? I made them take pictures of their clean areas and then text me the pictures... :) LOL...I think it is a brillant idea!

Are you tired of my wish lists yet??

(picture from BHG) Ok- here is another great deck that I would like our deck to look like....do you think it is possible before next Saturday?

We are having a football team pool party next Saturday....I am such a sucker...
