The Big Garage Sale Day!!

Me and my buddy, Stella!

Awww, such cuties!! Of course, we had to tell them to hug, but nonetheless!

They thought of this all on their own! :-)

More silly faces!

Well, as much time as we spend getting prepared for this thing, we are hopeful to make some money. Our goal this year was to make money for our Vegas trip, and I think we did just that. Between myself, Shell and Angie, we made over $1200! So, it was pretty successful, and definitely worth the effort!! The only glitch we ran into was Miss Olivia decided to nose dive right into the porch step...right in the middle of her forehead! Luckily, we had Angie there to assist! :-) As you can see from the picture, it was pretty brutal and swelled up right away, but she seemed fine and since Stella and the other kids were there, she didn't slow down! Another bump to add to her history!

Getting ready for the garage sale...

Shell has been over for the last three nights trying to prepare for the annual garage sale in Eureka. These were our big helpers for the evening!!

Fish Fry at the Lakes!

This is the life!!

Cutie pie absolutely loved the lake, at least the very edge of the lake in the sand!

Miss Olivia

We went to the lakes tonight for a fish fry, and it was wonderful. We didn't get out there much last year, so it was perfect to go and actually spend the night. Not everyone stayed and those that did, had tents or their trailers, so Shane, Olivia and I actually got to sleep in the cabin. So, it was really nice to actually have a bed out there and definitely worth the stay! The whole Cline family was there for the fish fry, which is always great! It is such a perfect location to just sit back and enjoy the day, which we did!!!

Fishing at the Lakes..

It doesn't get any better than this!!

Definitely a Cline!!

Learning from the best!!

Looks like they're up to something!

Dan was telling Olivia a few fish tales of his own!

The pets...

Grandpa and "kitty"

Tess and Winston were wearing each other out!

In case you aren't aware, Tess is usually pretty white, and all the brown in this picture was from digging in the sand!! Hate to be there when he got a bath!! :-)

Baby Sullivan!!

We went to visit Angie and Baby Sullivan today, and what a cutire! He is so sweet and I couldn't put him down! Made me realize I am getting ready for another one too!!! It was our five year anniversary as well, so Olivia spent the night at Grandma's and Shane and I were able to go to dinner to celebrate! Happy Anniversary Shane!!

Work Hard, Play Hard!

Keep up the good work!!

That a' boy Parker!

Kaleigh actually convinced them they were in a parade, which of course she was leading, and forced them to hold hands while they followed her in the jeep! They didn't seem to mind! :-)

This was right before they started screaming, "can someone please push us!!!!"

We tried convincing her this should be whiskers like a cat, rather than a mustache!

The kids were over today, and for whatever reason, they felt the need to sweep up the brush and leaves in the bakyard. So, I gave them each a broom and off they went! It kept them occupied strangely for quite some time! After all the hard work outside, it was time to come in, get in our jammies and play playdoh! Of course they were being silly and making mustaches for each other. :-)

Welcome Baby Sullivan!!

Craig, Mandy and Angie

Daddy trying to make the kids fall, actually fell himself.

Daddy and Derrick....his husband!

The stylish birthday girl!

All of the kids trying to get their grubby paws on the cake!

Patiently waiting....

Olivia and her buddy Stella!

We went to Craig and Mandy's this afternoon for a little cookout and to celebrate Ava's birthday! They had rented a big inflatable princess tent, which all the kids (and some adults) had so much fun jumping in. And amazingly enough, there were no major injuries. The only one going to the hospital today was Angie, who went it shortly after we left the party! So, not only is it Nana's and Ava's birthday, it is now Sullivan's birthday too!! Happy Birthday everyone!!!

Play Day!

Olivia and "sissy"

One of Olivia's best buddies, Landon!! Not sure why she was making him do all the hard work!?

Dalton taking his turn on the bike!

Shane left for a golf trip today, so it was the perfect opportunity to have Kathy and the kids over to play. It was beautiful outside, so they enjoyed being in the backyard and just nonstop fun!! We definitely need to do this more often!

Mother's Day

Mommy and her sweet angel!

Such a cool cat!

The gang

I certainly had a wonderful Mother's Day today. We started off by going to Aunt Jenny's for brunch and to visit Grandma. Then, we went shopping for my new dining room furniture. All in all it was a great day! Happy Mother's Day to all!

Don't want the fun to end....

Enjoying the new sandbox!

Some of the kidlets playing on the swings and eating their popsicles.

Brilliant idea for the kids....let's allow them to roast marshmellows over an open grill! Not sure whose idea this was, but I know it wasn't mine!! :-)

After Parker's birthday party, the kids apparently hadn't had enough fun. So, we went back to Aunt Shell's to play outside, considering it was beautiful outside. So, one of Parker's gifts was a new sandbox, so off they went!!! Then, later that afternoon, we went to Craig and Mandy's for a small get together! The kids had a ball playing with each other and it was nice for the adults to catch up!!
