A crafty maid, Independence Day and BK

Hmmm...ever wonder what it would be like to have a maid or housekeeper??? I will most likely never ever ever ever have one..I am way to weird about my house and how I like things, to have someone else clean it for me.....and I would also feel horrible if they came in and it was dirty etc and then I would have to spend more time cleaning it so they would not have to work so hard... And I think it is a way tough job anyway and I would probably make them sit and me clean......it would be a crazy, twisted cycle. But of late I was thinking that I would sooo love a craft person! I would just show her all of the projects that I would like to make and she would do them for me. That I can do!!! Maybe one day.

Independence Day

We had a great weekend celebrating our countries Independence!! I luvvvve the United States of America :) I am so grateful/proud to be born here! Chris and I took some time to talk to the kiddos about the importance of this holiday and why we celebrate it. I love being able to express my testimony about this great nation and the importance of FREEDOM!!! I hope that my children will come to understand that it is more than fireworks and barbecues. But on that note we had a terrific time with the fireworks and barbecue thing :)

Brian and Kelly nicknamed BK by Jess...came to meet all of us nice Florida folks...I just read this awesome book called The HELP and my southern accent is peeking through. Even with all of the rain we had a great time. Kelly is awesome!!!! and I am so thankful she will be part of our family. Way to go Brian.

We did the beach, a girls night out, shopping and fireworks! Here are a few picks I took.

Baby Chuck! Happy as usual.
