Happy Birthday to me!

Today I turn 28. No big plans, Aaron bought me ice cream, we ate that instead of cake. Which was perfect because this heat and humidity is making me batty. We are headed to the lake this weekend, still I am saving all my party mojo for when I turn 30. Then I will have a huge birthday party, 2 years in the making, lol, and your all invited. It will be like my super sweet 30. AWESOME! I just KNOW thirty is gonna be a BLAST!
Also I got a snazzy new coffee maker from my mom! YES......(in the words of Napoleon Dynamite) Joslyn in spite of her fear of the camera, NOT, decided to pose with it for a few snapshots!

Foreign Exchange!

SO, my husband and I are going to be a host family for a foreign exchange student! We are THRILLED! Her name is Mahja, she is 15 and from Germany. She will be arriving in the big town of GLOBE sometime mid August and staying with our family for 10 months, we don't have all the details yet.
I have been speaking with the Host Family Coordinator so much, about what to expect and how should things go, you know this is our first time having a teenager live with us. Well she says that there are so many students still looking for host families, so if your interested go fill out your host family application here. I'll definitely be keeping you all updated!

Dance recital

Joslyn's dance recital was so super cute, I could hardley contain myself! They did two numbers, Tina's Tap Shoes, and Bubbles in the Tub. I was so proud of her! I am also very happy not to hear the chorus to Tina's Tap Shoes any longer
"AND she said Tip Tap Tip Tap TIP TAP TIP TAP TIP TAP....."
The girls would run around the house singing that for hours on end, it was cute IN THE BEGINING!

Silly daddy!

Happy Fourth!

The Fourth of July is my favorite holiday, (NEXT to CHRISTMAS of course!)
This is The G, AS IN GLOBE, painted oh so patriotic! We hope everyone has a fantastic and safe Independence Day!

Ready to ride!

Sky and Jos (and Keke normally but she was napping this day) are always ready for a ride on the rail!
