This is why Summer is so hard.........

Lets see so far this summer ......

The kids and i went to Michigan for way to long... 23 days. It was fun but i would not want to do it again without my husband. That was to long to be with out my help mate. I got to see my grandma and grandpa and the whole family got to meet Abbiella-Grace.
Then when I got back i desided that we needed to have a 4th of July BBQ. oh i was not thinking because the house was a mess because while i was gone Rich was working any wheres from 50-60+ hours a week, Needless to say he did not get much house cleaning done. So rush to get house clean CHECK. Get food CHECK Time for fellowship CHECK..... However the rain also CHECKED in during this whole thing and Rich ended up grilling in the rain.... what a trooper.
Then the week following the 4th I helped some good friends Matt and Katie, out process thier house on base. THAT WAS A JOB!!! I think the military should not worry so much about the little bit of stuff left on the burners and the blinds and just be thankful that we have troops in the houses serving the military.... Sorry for that little bunny trail. That week was a Tues-Friday job but we passed!!! and they are on to Wyoming. In helping them we gained a King size bedroom set which leads me to my next adventure.............
Saturday July 11th Rich and I cleaned out our room with the queen bed and two mismatched dressers in to the living room and then Andrew reset up the bed frame down stairs and we moved the dressers in to Abbiella's room for tempoary storage.... they are still there making her room very very cluttered because I am in the middle of going threw her clothes because she is not in 0-3 mo. anymore and is still in 3-6 so i have been going and sorting them, I do have a trip to Once Upon A Child planed but it has not happened yet because.....
We have had a few days of rest if you call it that it has been busy still with silly stuff like me locking my keys in the van last Thursday causing me NOT to be able to go pay bills and other running around. And then this weekend we went to a few garage sales and had some fun at the base pool with my mom and one of her friends Jill. It was Abbiella's first time in a pool and SHE LOVED IT. I think she maybe part frog or fish but i have not determined what yet. Then today.....
Our ladies mininstry had the summer garden party tonight... we had a Cholat. Cake contest. there were many entries and they were all good but my cake did win the 1st loser position. or the 1st runner up. My cake was a 4 layer cholt. with homemade coconut buttercream frosting and inbetween each layer there was toasted coconut and almond mixture, This was also on the top and side of the cake. It was pretty good to eat and to look at. I was happy about that, however it was quite the adventure getting the frosting made today... I will spare you the details but it involved one dozen eggs *the reciepe only called for 6, one pan of burnt simple syurp, and somehow 2 burnt fingers I do not even know how that happened... but it was all worth it.
So now I sit here at the computer typing this blog very tired and you maybe asking yourself why I am up so late, so i will not keep you wondering anymore... My WONDERFUL daughter desided that tonight she needed to stay up very very late like 3 hours pasted her bed time so she did not go to sleep until after midnight and well I needed to unwind so here I am ...
