Hello?
Is anyone still out there?
Oh , Okay there you are... now that I have you here again I will share some more pictures and tell you what's been going on.
I finally got the pictures my dad took of Sara's wedding and they are just as good as the photographer's. I think. These are my two beautiful children posing with their aunt Sara.
I just thought I'd share a whole picture of her dress. It was really pretty and complimented her figure well!
Right before Memorial day weekend we tried to put up Hunter's bed tent (that he got for Christmas) (no , we're not procrastinators, why would you think that?) Anyway..... I went up into the attic to figure out where the rafters were exactly so we could properly install said bed tent and what do know?.... I saw poop in the attic. A lot of poop. Little rat turds and big turds that could've been from a cat or possum or something else of that size that should not have been up in that attic. I was soooo grossed out that I made hubby go up there and clean it up and while we were up there I noticed just how bad the A/C duct system was leaking and that it had been munched on by those unwelcome creatures. So basically we have been cooling the attic as well as the inside of the house. So, we consulted my dad (a.k.a. The Professor) and he said from the sounds of it we should just replace that duct.
So 2 days in the attic and $800 later we have all new duct work and a much cooler house.
Oh and the picture that goes with my little story about the A/C duct work is that my hubby (Mr. accident prone) fell through the ceiling as I was typing away on the computer. He was OK and we got the popcorn off the ceiling and new texturing on the ceiling because of it. I was scared for him at first but then I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so naturally I craughed, standing there in the attic trying to help hubby out of the hole he had just created trying to also not fall through the ceiling.
So after the attic stuff was all done I decided that we needed some summer entertainment for the kids. So I got a pool. No backhoes involved, just one of those cheap-y above ground hope it lasts through the summer kind of pools. So here it is.
The plus side is that the kids do love it AND they have stopped asking to go to the neighbors house so much. yea!! Oh, and it's certainly and upgrade from this....
On the negative side, taking care of a pool is a lot of work.... who knew!

The main reason we don't have a pool is because of the work involved to maintain it. That, and I don't want to have to pay for the increase in our electric bill to run the damn thing.
I'm so happy to see an update! Now we just need to get the redhead we know to do one too!!!
Loved the pictures of your sister with the kiddos! She looked beautiful, and they looked cuter then ever!
Your sister looks beautiful and your kids are just the cutest things ever! I saw you were leaving BAM. I'll miss you so you better keep in touch and keep blogging so we know what you're up to.
