This summer I have been babysitting a girl everyday! I have had a blast doing it! Most days that is! Now that I can drive I have been taking her to all her lessons! I also have also been trying to find fun things for us to do to get us out of the house. We have gone to the pool most days! One day I took her to the pubic pool and she had a blast going on the waterslidea over and over and over again! One day we were and toured a 12 story treehouse! That was a lot of fun but it was so stinkin hot! We had a picnic one day, baked some cakes, and yesterday I painted her nails! Today we played tennis for awhile them we went to a place that has a lot of trails that you can explore on! Lauren kept saying that she kept seeing things jump. Of coarse being that she is 8 and a girl she was being all dramatic about it so I just told her that it was probably grasshoppers and kept walking. Then we got out of the shade and I look down and see frogs jumping all around us! Lauren started screaming amd was about to start crying. I wanted to scream but I knew that that wouldn't help. So right then and there we turned around and headed back to my car! What a day! I can't believe I am saying this bit I am getting attached to lol miss lauren! I am going to miss it when school starts!

Thank You, Lauren

This has been an emotional week for me and many others. The Chapman family have suffered a huge loss. I am sure all of you have heard about the loss of their youngest daughter, Maria. Around 5pm on Wednesday the family was getting ready to celebrate the engagement of their oldest daughter, Emily. One of the boys pulled in the driveway and did not see precious Maria and she got this. All of the family saw this tragic accident. I was really hit with this accident. I would have never known when I got into blogging that when you read others blog and something tragic happens to them that you feel grief like you have met that person. You have something inside of you that is apart of it. I think that is what hit me the most. And how much life is going to change for them.

I had a friend that really helped me though all of this. She is always someone I can go to if I need someone to cry on her shoulder. Keenexes were always on hand! She knows how to make me smile. This week it was with mentos! I was in tears on the way to school. Makeup all over my face and she had mentos sitting right next to her. She reached over and said, " Do you want a mento." I like mentos but it's not like I love them. So she carried them with her all day and whenever she thought I was having a hard time she would say, "Need a mento?" She would always get a smile out of me.

"Thank you Lauren of being there for me and making me laugh. You are a great friend and I will aways be there for you too!"

Yesterday fun!

Yesterday everything got cancelled because of weather so I had my friend Lauren come over because she lives right behind me! She brought a box of brownies and we put tons of food coloring in it and took some funny pictures of things we thought no one would reconize. I think we did well! Here are some of the interesting pictures!









This is Hersheys chocolate with green food coloring!

This is a CD! I Think it looks like a cd!
