TGIF!

I just spent $800 on my meds for IVF#3!  Ouch!  And that's with insurance coverage!  Not sure why I'm always surprised by the costs....I should be use to it by now.  I keep thinking of all the things I could buy with that money.  (The COACH store is calling my name, window treatments for my house, money toward building a deck, weekend getaways...I could go on and on).   I'm sure many of my IF bloggers can relate.  I am hoping and praying this will all pay off in the end!

**********************************

I'm so glad it's Friday.  Ready for the weekend.  We were suppose to get our pictures taken, but Steve has poison ivy on his face!  (I just can't keep the guy clean!)  It's actually getting better so hopefully we can do pictures next week.

And now, the winner of the blog makeover giveaway......Congrats to Suzy from Not a Fertile Myrtle!

A Chuck.E.Cheese bday

Another weekend, another bday party.
My nephew Daniel had his 5th bday at chuck.e.cheese on Saturday.
It was crazy busy with kids eating pizza and playing games.  I took tons of pictures (as I'm now the designated family events photographer), but it takes forever to load so I'm only sharing a few.

Daniel with his favorite Aunt!

Daniel and his mommy.

Daniel, Rachel and Abbey

I'm so grateful Sundays are a day of rest!  Because if it wasn't, we'd be going non stop all weekend!

Blog Makeover Giveaway! (CLOSED)

Can I tell you how much I LOVE my blog makeover? Mary at Bright Sunshine Designs did an amazing job! She turned it around so fast and she was so easy to work with. She was very patient and listened to what I wanted my blog makeover to look like.

Mary is giving away a FREE makeover to one of my lucky blog readers! You will get the same Rainbow package that I got (a $60 value!). So your blog can look fabulous and fresh too!

Here are the rules:

**Please note, I am not getting paid for this endorsement at all.  I had to pay for my blog makeover and I had such a great experience with Bright Sunshine Designs that I asked her if she would be willing to give of her time and talents to one of my lucky blog readers.**

Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree

This has been the new obsession around our house.

Apple i.Pad

Steve LOVES it.

Abbey loves playing games on it and reading books on it.

I guess the "apple" doesn't fall far from the tree. (Get it? haha!)

car ride + i.pad + slurpee = peace and quiet! ahhhh.

Weekend Round UP

I love long holiday weekends.  Saturday morning was spent at the hair salon getting my hair highlighted (which turned out way too blond so she had to tone it down).  Then I had to rush home to make cupcakes for my cousin's son's 1st bday party.  It was a long day, but a fun day.

Birthday boy Ethan!

Here are the cupcakes I made.

Me and my sister (yeah, she got the skinny genes AND the fertile genes)

Steve and Abbey in the front yard with the slip and slide on Memorial Day.

The weather was perfect for splashing in the water.

We also took Abbey to see Shr.ek in 3D.  (I can't believe how expensive a 3D movie is!) It was a cute movie and we had a great time.  When we took Abbey home, she was crying and didn't want us to leave (which has become a recurring thing lately).  She eventually calmed down and we were able to leave, promising that we would come back and pick her up again on Friday. 

I am grateful for all the men and women who have fault so bravely so that I can have the freedoms from living in such a great country.  Thank you to all who serve in our military!

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!
