I will not touch grass

Maddie was happily playing outside with Brad, until he tried to set her on the grass. She does this every time the threat of having any contact with the out doors comes around.

Keep all the door and windows closed!

I dont know about every where else but I think our town has decided not to spray for bugs this year... we are being attacked by mozzie's and every other kind of scary bug.
This is Brad's hand after he swatted a mozzie in mid air. That smear on his hand is blood - I can only hope it was our blood. SICK

A day at the lake

We have this lovely lake right by our house, its the perfect place to go when its not pouring rain, in July...

Summer Pizza - delizioso

I made this pizza the other night for dinner and it was so good and so easy. I dough is just home made bread dough, topped with pesto, basil, thick sliced mozzarella, ricotta, and slices of fresh tomatoes. Delicious in every way.
By the way if you don't like basil or have a non basil eater in your house (like I do) you can skip the basil or just remove it after its baked - then you still get the flavor.

Ready to go in the oven


Ready to eat.

Who wore it best

We endured a serious faux pas at church today. Two girls and one doll all in the same dress. So Naturally we had to ask - Who wore it better?

Doll - a little camera shy

I think it looked at me

We found this creature outside our door last night. It was HUGE!! Like a small rodent. Seriously scary. Brad and I were trying to take a picture with out making it fly at our faces and attack.... can you imagine waking up with that thing on your face.(it didnt, but still) SO NASTY

A place to call our own

No we didn't buy a house, but when we do I wouldn't mind if it looked like this.

Or this...

Or any of these.




A red door is a must



Maybe we should move to Greece or Italy.

Birthday, Family and Fireworks

 
We had a great weekend - having Rachel stay with us made it extra special. We did lots of going out, staying in and walking around. But mostly it was just nice to be together.

Bobbi Brown - Everything Mascara

Every time I use it I think, " I have to blog about this" I LOVE this mascara! Ive tried different mascaras since I was about 15. So lets just say Ive had a few...
But for the last few years this has been my mascara of choice. Its the best! It lasts forever, gives you long lashes and no clumps. I just cant say enough good things about it.
To each their own but for me it's Bobbi
