Long time no post!

So I realized that it has been a bit ( yeah I know over a month) since I posted but I've been busy! So the school year has ended. Ally will be a first grader this year! Wow, doesn't seem that it has been that long ago I was pregnant! She is so excited! She keeps asking if she has school tomorrow. Last month our was FULL of birthday's! June 13Th we had two! We started out at our friend's daughter's, Alexus. She turned 1! She is so cute! Wild curls! Then we went to my nephew's, DJ. He turned 12. It was not that long ago it seems that he was Alexus' age! Quite the young man! Then June 23rd was Matt's, we celebrated on the 27Th! It was a blast. We had the family, close friends, and tons of kids! Matt was a cake machine! He LOVED it!

John and Ally have been going fishing so much! Ally pulled, forgive me I can't remember what type of fish, a Channel Catfish? out, three BIG ones. You go girl!

No these are NOT the same fish!

Matt has been sick this whole weekend. 102.5/103 fevers. We thought it was his one year molars coming in. Not only that but the poor babe has an ear infection and a virus! that stinks!
Tonight Ally is staying with my parents and going camping and fishing with them till Sunday! What fun that will be.
We have been busy busy. John is working full time Monday~Thursday for the school 6 am to 4 pm, then working his business full time. I have taken up a part-time position with Wind Dancer Photography as a (yep you guessed it) photographer, and working full time at The Shutterbug. On top of that we have all kinds of "events" going on, parties, visits, baby showers, all kinds of things. Phew, when does summer get over? Did I just say that?
That's about it!

What a weekend!!

Well, where to start...

Ally had her first game on Wednesday. Her team WON!! I was told by another parent that Ally hit the ball both times on the first time and was doing really well! Apparently she ran to first base with the bat and then when she ran to second John was yelling "go Ally" and she started to run to him!. Overall it was a great game! She has another tonight!!

Friday I moved Ally's BIG, HUGE, GINORMOUS bunk bed by myself (yes I know I can hear it now, why are you doing this by yourself. Three words...Because I can!), got it moved with out any major injuries, smashed toe and hand. No biggie. Sat. Ally went with Grandma and Grandpa out on the boat. Matt hasn't been feeling too good lately and so he and mommy stayed home. I got A LOT cleaned! and Laundry is almost caught up. Sunday...Ah Mother's Day. They day where all mothers should be told they are loved. I got the CUTEST thing from Ally. Her class made "Mommy Makes It Best" recipe books. Each child told what their favorite dish was that mommy made and how they make it. Ally's was Oatmeal. It was so cute, I will post what she said tomorrow, but the last sentence was so cute. It said "Mommy only makes me oatmeal when I'm dressed!" I go to sleep in, 8 am oh yeah! I was taken to breakfast, we went to Lowe's to get my mom's gift and John surprised me by getting two large outdoor pots that I have been drooling over, apparently with out my knowledge, for a long time now and got two Chalalillies for each one, and not just plain white, beautiful colored Minni's. We got them planted and set!. What a lovely day. Then we made mini pizza's for dinner. The perfect day.

This morning Ally lost her second tooth!

Now it's been awhile

Well we have had a lot still going on. We had Easter, Ally looked so cute in her dress and Matt had a little outfit on. We went to my parents for Easter breakfast after church. Then on to John's parents where Ally got to take part in an Easter egg hunt. Seven kids and 250 eggs. Wow someone was busy. Matt has started waling and is all over the place now!Ally's school had their carnival this Friday. I volunteered and helped with the bowling booth. Tuns of fun. Each classroom had a basket theme and everyone brought something to "fill"t the basket with. Ally's class was "Italian Dinner Night" and we donated some super fun glasses. There were all kinds of baskets and I won the "Cozy" Basket. It had so much stuff in it. Four homemade fleece blankets, two girlie and two boy, a bucket of Red Vines, popcorn, a HUGE bag of pretzels, big container of hot cocoa, 5 pound bag of M&M's, a gift card for blockbuster, a gift card for pizza, two liter of pop and 4 tumbler's. Wow all this for one dollar!

The weekend didn't stop there, I purchased some boat seats for our boat for the super expensive cost of a 6 pack of beer! Then Sunday John got his truck running again, moved the boat from his parents house to ours, went and picked up Ally's new bed, fixed his machine...the list goes on. Ally's bed is a bunk bed with a desk and bookshelf. It is really cool and VERY HEAVY! I put her entire bed together all by my self and moved it from the garage to the bedroom. I am so proud, I hurt but who cares!? Now we are on to today. We got to wake up to Matt covered in his poop! So Mommy got to take a shower and scrub baby. John had to get Ally ready for school while I cleaned baby, stripped the bed, bumper, and water proof sheet and bleach the crib bars. When Matt gets poopie he likes to spread it around!!

It's been awhile

It has been a bit since I posted and I thought I would bring it up to date.

The weekend of the fourth John and I decided that we were both not going to work on Saturday. We disconnected and had a family day. We went on a picnic. We took Ally's bat and ball and worked with her on her hitting. We fished and Ally got one! Matt and I hung out relaxing. All was well until I had to go to the bathroom. Ally and I left and went to the little mart, that was fine but on our way back to our picnic spot a strange dog came up and started to bark at us. It's owner, a child about Ally's age, was trying to call it back. At one point the dog went to his owner I took that chance to have Ally RUN to John. Good thing too because the dog came back and started barking at me again. Finally the kid took the dog and left. We thought we were done. We were wrong. About 20 minutes later the dog showed up with a few more kids and an adult...finally. Well about an hour later the dog started coming around again and it was getting late so we decided to pack up and leave. John and Ally started taking stuff up to the car while I was getting Matt set. I started walking up with Matt (who was in the stroller) towards the car pulling the cooler. That stupid dog started circling me and barking. It got to be about three feet behind me and was starting to get more aggressive. John saw and was headed down to me, I got angry, any mother would when she thinks that her child is in danger, and pulled out Ally's T-ball bat. FINALLY the idiot owner came and retrieved his dog.
So we went home and I was shaken.

The week went on and last weekend was Easter. Yes I will have pictures up later. We did Easter at our home, went to church and then to my parents for breakfast. Later we went to John's parents and the kids all did an Easter Egg hunt. I was fun. When we got home I got busy with cleaning the house! Gotta love the energy!

Anyway, over all everyone is doing pretty good.
