A little bit of this and a little bit of that...........


I have a LOVE/HATE relationship with Target. I love that I can get a few key groceries like milk, bananas, butter, and bread; a birthday gift; a large Rubbermaid organizer bin; a bathing suit for Mag; a razor for Collin and a few other items in one place. I HATE that my bill was $159. Really? How does that happen?

Last night we had turkey burgers and fresh strawberries for dinner. YUM! And good for us too. Now, we are having frito pie casserole. YUM! And channeling my inner-redneck too.
Maggie has a double ear infection. Guess all the recent swimming did her in. Hoping the abx work quickly and stop her cough so she can sleep again I can sleep again.

So You Think You Can Dance is amazing me once again this season. If you aren't watching, you are missing out. Our whole family watches (shhhhh, Collin won't admit it). And we also watched Lonesome Dove over the weekend. Such a great classic!

and finally.....the pictures I've been meaning to send. It's a little montage I call ....A Taste of Spring 2011...goes back to Sean's bday/Ian's bday/Easter at the Andera's/Maggie's bday/moving and beyond. Enjoy!

So I'm still out here in blog land but don't have much exciting to report. It's officially summer......which means we spent lots of hours at the pool. And eating popsicles. Well, not me, but the kids do.

We are still in limbo with life. Are we staying in SoCal and are we moving out of state? No real news on that front. Still waiting on the official job offer for Collin. Another reason I'm not unpacking anymore either. Why unpack if I have to repack in a short period of time. YET how is it that I have more bags for Goodwill. Last week I dropped off three bags and I have another one full. I am going through Ian's clothes b/c we have no room and I'm organizing some that I want to keep that are too big (from Sean and our buddy, Cade). Apparently we have lots of random stuff and ever since my friend Audrey lost everything in a house fire I am realizing more and more that it's just stuff mostly; therefore, I am flinging.

Maggie and Amanda are currently in Oliver. Last week Collin took the boys and some baseball team friends camping up near Mammoth. Lots of fishing, learning to shoot, and dirt! I'm still working on the laundry from that. This weekend brings more theater and dance recital for Maggie (Amanda's class isn't doing recital, lame!). Next week, Amanda and Sean start a summer school reading program. Somewhere in there is dentist appts. and doctor appts. for Sean's knee and Amanda's next MRI.

Whoever said summer was relaxing was wrong; well, except for the sleeping in part.
