Fun in the sun!

The summer days are over, as we head into fall, I still have fresh memories of the sun we left behind..... This particular day it was fore casted to be hot, so we knew that we wanted to be somewhere around water. We have heard of a place called Williams Lake resort, but always thought that you had to be a member of the resort to go to it. I thought I would just make sure I wasn't mistaken and gave them a call. I am so glad I did, it turns out that it is open to the public for a small daily fee, so we ended up going! The kids had tons of fun, we set up the grill to go and grilled some lunch, while the kids explored the nearby creek, where they found frogs and little Gardner snakes! We then headed down to the sandy beach that the resort provided on the lake and to our surprise there were water slides on docks out in the water!! I might have been more excited than the kids, because I already love water, but I absolutely LOVE water slides!!! All in all the day was great and we will definitely be going back to Williams lake resort again next year!!

How awesome is my husband!

What a great guy I have! The last couple of days I have been sick, but moms cant be sick, duh!!! As I still get breakfast done and Riley off to school, me and Cody venture out to get some groceries, but just going to one store is out of the question for us. We go to either Yokes or Safeway for all of our gluten free items, then to the dollar store for soaps and chips and spices, then off to Walmart for everything else on the list. We get home and I make me and Cody some lunch then we finally get to lay down for some much needed rest! Cody falls to sleep very fast, he has always been a great napper! Me on the other hand cannot stop my nose from running, I end up wadding some Kleenex in my nose and try to fall asleep with it just stuck up there! (don't laugh, you know you have done it to! ha ha) right as I am just to that point were you are awake but asleep at the same time, my doorbell rings. I would like to answer it with a "really? I am sick and was about to fall asleep, this better be good!". But I didn't, I answered it with a smile and blood shot eyes! It was my neighbor Janet, an older widowed lady that I know is lonely and just wants someone to talk to. She asks if I will look at a letter she has written and make sure that it doesn't sound rude. Okay, I say thinking that I really need to have this lady over more for tea or something because if she is waking me up to read a letter she wrote she must be lonely!!! I tell her the letter looks great and it does not come off as rude at all! She gives me a nice smile and says "thank you". I go crawl back into bed but cant fall back asleep. then at two my other neighbor brings her youngest over for me to watch while she takes her other to an eye apt. I accept, because I know she would and does do the same for me. After the appointment she comes back and picks up her daughter. I start dinner and put an apple pie in the oven that was frozen from the freezer. We ate dinner and the exhaustion starts really kicking in, that's when Corey says go to bed I got this! I go lay down and he takes care of the kids, Riley's homework, and the apple pie that I forgot I had put in the oven! He even picks up the house that I have completely neglected the last couple of days! Thank you honey, you ar

e the best!

Project time!

One of the things we did to the house this year was put in a new floor! The previous owners had rented the house out to college kids and by the time we got our hands on it, it was in pretty bad shape, especially the carpet! You could just tell this was a party house. I shampooed like 5 times before we moved in but it just wasn't cutting it! So we ripped up all the carpet and put down laminate hard wood, which was what was in our budget! It started off fun, the whole family was involved in ripping up staples and putting down new boards! But by the third day of working nonstop, with swollen hands and bruised knees, I was so ready for it to be done!! One of the funny parts though was that on one of the boards we each wrote our names on it and something completely stupid, thinking it would be cool that when a new owner went to rip up the boards would find our names and silly phrases!!

American by birth, Biker by choice

On one of our trips home this summer, we decided to haul the bike down so Corey could ride with his dad! I must admit, my man looks pretty hot on his bike!!
