Cheer up buttercup!

As Dane fueled his mind with coffee, I made sure his monkey found a nice sunny spot. With my silly and spontaneous nature, nothing brings me more happiness than seeing his blue eyes and smile light up my heart.

B-day gift from Sam cuz he knows Dad loves monkeys!

Ridding with Emma!

 

Yard Sales!

With summer here the boys and I have been having fun going to garage, estate, and yard sales. We scored this guy for free! Meet Larry the Lobster, he now adorns the dashboard of our Kahuna mobile.    

For those that don't know who Larry is...

Cars!

Unfortunately, the Tahoe was involved in another collision (totaled this time in front of our house). Prompting the black car to step in. With the assistance of Bob-Bob and Gage Auto Sales, we now have a new car. Another task on my "To-Do-list" is advocating for change in our neighborhood by petitioning the City of Gladstone for speed humps.

*Update...The black car was totaled in the same fashion! Yep, I still need to get around to that petition.

The big 20!

It's official she's no longer a teenager and has entered the next decade of life. The big 2-0!!! A milestone that deserves a big celebration. But you know her, that is not something she wanted. Low key is how she rolls. No birthday song with candles, but she enjoyed all her presents and gave a few shy smiles! For an epic dinner, she had a chicken sandwich from Wendy's. The other squids had Wendy's too. Dane and I decided steak was the better choice ;)
