I NEED TO GET BETTER AT THIS!!!

BUT…I don’t foresee that happening.  We do many fun things, I take tons of pics, but I fail at the follow through!  This summer is flying by fast and furious.  I was prepared with tons of activities for us to do which has made all the difference.  Here are a few pics of what we have been up to…Lots of our time has been spent in our backyard paradise, but I have yet to upload all the pictures…that is next post!

Hide and Seek: Mason showed Madelyn where to hide then he FOUND her!! He still loves to tell people where to find him!

Surprise Party for Daddy:  Marcus turned 31 and I threw him a surprise party and he was surprised!!! We did not do much for his 30th so I wanted to do something FUN FUN for this year.  I GOT HIM GOOD! It was so much fun planning his Casino themed party!!!  I had it at our clubhouse.  I rented a casino company to come and have black jack, craps, and poker tables there.  I had Mexican food for dinner and we partied all night!  We had a great turnout…even his two brokers from Connecticut and Kentucky were there!!!
