I have just now finished my 2013 photo book. I know that is ridiculous. But in my defense, I got VERY busy in January as we made a property purchase and it took me several months to tend to and baby it. It's now up and running and I'm getting caught up on everything I put off. I tried to post the slideshow but it had problems, so here's the link if you want to see what will be on my coffee table next week. We had an amazing year last year.

Click "View Photo Book" on the link. Then there is a link in the upper left to "Make full screen" so you can actually read it. Be patient while it loads. It's over 100 pages. :-)
Love to everyone!

Goodday mateys! I must inform you I am strongly considering de-publishing the blog. I think I am one of the last bloggers left and I just don't have time to make it what it ought to be. I am pretty sure all of my blog readers are on Facebook, so you can keep up with me there. My opinion is if I can't do something right, I ought not do it at all. My last post was in May. This is July. That frequency is the norm lately.
My only hesitation is that I use these stories in our annual yearbook. When someone out-of-the-ordinary happens, if I don't write it down then, I may forget the details. So, I'll continue to think about this. In the meantime, don't look for regular postings. :-P

Hello blog readers. I just have to tell you all about my wonderful
Mother's Day! On Friday Daniley had a program at school and it was
MAGNIFICENT. It was all I could do not to sob. It was so sweet and
special. She had made me several things and then she sang me a few
songs. Sweetest thing ever.
I had previously decided for Mother's Day I wanted a bike rack so I could take us all down to the beach to ride. Dan got my rack and got it installed, on time, before Mother's Day. We had an opening in the condo and so off we went!!! It was the best trip ever. I just loved riding bikes with my sweet family. This was Daniley's first real bike trip (and quite possibly, my own). We rode 7 miles.
We generally cook in and eat in. However on this trip, we were quite adventurous. I can't remember cooking a meal except one breakfast. We tried some new places and things. We also went on a pirate cruise where the kids were inducted as pirates. It was one of the best vacations, and as such, it leaves me wanting more. Stay tuned!! Love to you all!!

Danslen started pre-school today. She will go only on Fridays, but not all Fridays. This is just a little time for her to get used to a classroom setting. A couple of weeks ago I was just so busy at home and I wasn't giving her the attention she needed. I thought she deserved a little more than what I was giving her, so I enrolled her at BEKare. She was a tad shy this morning but as soon as the teacher engaged her she opened right up. Several minutes later, she said, "Mom you can go now." She is going to love BEKare and all the things they do. Some of the things that have caught her interest already are Play-doh, painting and drawing, reading books, and playing outside. They also take a 3 hour nap. She's going to fit in perfectly!!
For the first time, EVER, both of my kids are in school, and I am at home ALONE. Yes that's right, total quietness. No wiping butts, no kissing boo-boos, no looking around for kids that have suddenly disappeared, no hearing my name called 10 times per minute. Three very cool people are hanging out at the house today: me, myself, and I.
I absolutely do not know what to do with myself. I'm sort of walking around like a zombie, but I'm very excited!!
As for Daniley...she got an X in her folder this week. When she gets an X in her folder, we remove all the money from her bookbag. That prevents her from buying ice cream (ice cream can't come out of your lunch account.) However, I noticed that she must have told GPaw today was Kona Ice Day (whether that's true I can't confirm). She hit him up for some cash because I found it sealed in an envelope, with GPaw's handwriting, "Kona Ice" on the outside. It was all I could do not to pull the money back out. This morning we just decided that we'd take away her Friday ice cream next week. Missing Kona Ice is quite traumatizing, because she STILL talks about one time that we forgot to put Kona Ice money in her bookbag. She swears we did it on purpose. :-/

New Dr!!
I got tired of all the crap at the kids old Dr's office...Loved the Dr....not in love with the rest of the office. So, we jumped ship. Hopefully we will be able to get in on sick days, and with less red tape in general.
LITTLE DARLIN WAS PUMPED about meeting Dr. Paisley. She has talked about her for months. She finally got to meet her and she was talking a LOT! Danslen is quite a bit more shy than Daniley but if she is super happy you will need a plug.

Easter is only halfway over but my pictures are so cute I couldn't wait to post!! This year our church had a service on Saturday night and we went for it. So, I have our Easter pictures a few hours early. I don't know what came over my girls to love on each other like this. The Holy Spirit must have really been among them tonight. :-)
Earlier today we dyed our eggs!
We went to church, had an ice cream, and then did an egg hunt.
May everyone not forget what we celebrate on Easter!!
After church we had an egg hunt and Daniley met up with her friends Mylee and Cooper. Look at these precious children!!

Since Daniley started school we don't have a lot of time together. To remedy this, I took her to the beach, just us two, for a long weekend. It was one of the best beach trips of recent memory. We just chilled and relaxed. The weather was perfect. The last time I spent Spring Break at the beach I must have been in high school. I did not realize how wonderful it was this time of year.
This kid is hilarious. I just sit on the sidelines and watch her work the adults. She strikes up a conversation and before you know it she's roped them in. I even heard one tell her, "You should be on TV." haha. True entertainment for me!!

This last one is a selfie of her. She kills me.
