It has been one hundred million years since I've blogged anything so I thought I'd holler at my homies and update some things.
We enjoyed a nice long week of vacation at Shaver Lake a few weeks back. Our three bedroom cabin was really nice (except for some crazy creaky stairs that made it impossible to sneak up on anyone). There was a tv in every room and I'm reminded why we don't have cable! I did enjoy having the tv for the olympics, though. We spent six straight days at the beach, on the boat, water skiing, laying out, drinking, eating, and being surprisingly active. I always think I'm going to rest on vacation but that's a big fat joke. Tyler and I even got in a date night where we consumed the world's tastiest salmon and I drank the world's strongest martini and spilled my water all over the table. Good times.

The kids are enjoying their last week of summer at the Y this week. They went to Hurricaine Harbor yesterday and had a blast! Kayley was really disapointed because her group consisted of a bunch of bratty 7 and 8 year old girls with no sense of adventure. So they went on all the little kid stuff. This is where the protective mom in me wishes to tell the little snooty girls to put away their magic wands and strap on a pair. But I digress.
Tyler recieved an award yesterday for doing a stellar job on a project at work. He is such a hard worker and I'm so proud of him! It didn't hurt that he got a $400 bonus, too!
I have a virus on my computer at work...again. I don't spend a trillion hours cruisin' through shady sites during the day so I don't quite understand the malfunction. Anyway, I had all my vacation pictures saved to the desktop in preparation to put them on shutterfly and now I have no access to them. How fun for me. Hopefully the highwatered tech people can rid my infected computer of the virus and save my pictures, too.
I always like to see how long I can spread out my birthday and this year it managed to last a week and a half. I had my office lunch a few days before, dinner on the day and girls day in Santa Barbara and family celebration a week later. Fabulous! I really did get spoiled. My hubby sent me beautiful flowers at work and bought me a massage and gave me money to go shopping. Thanks babe!
Me and the girls in Santa Barbara
Tyler and I will be celebrating our 9th anniversary in a couple of months! We have a trip planned to go out of town for a weekend in October. I'm so excited for time away with my main man. The condo we'll be staying in belongs to a client of ours at work and they are letting us stay for free! Kind of awesome, huh?
Speaking of free, I've been rocking the Target clearance racks lately. I bought seven shirts for $24 a couple of weeks ago. Four shirts were free, two were under two dollars and one was a full price sweater. Shopping success? I think so!
School is coming...nooooooo!!!
I've already done clothing shopping for the kids. Thanks to Krista for watching the kids while I helped them try on clothes. I'd also like to thank her for allowing Cole to wrestle on the floor while Kayley and I were in the dressing room. In Target. Oh, Krista. This is the first year I've had the kids try on clothes. I normally buy them whatever but they are starting to get picky. My rule is if they try it on and love it, they sure as hell better wear it. Thank goodness I got that over with. This weekend will be backpack, lunchbox and school supply shopping and they'll be all ready for first and third grade! I will be posting first day of school pictures so stay tuned!

Lots of good things happening in your life! Glad you had a great vacation and birthday! Hooray for Tyler! Why do you say the girls in kayley's group were bratty? Is it just because they wanted to stay in the little kid part?
Some day Cole will be a fine young man who is playful and you know what? I'll get to know that I contributed to that by giving him five minutes of wrestling on the floor. He won't grow up to be a serial killer or a bank robber because of it. Haha.
SB was fun and I enjoyed telling you that you're fruit salad, yummy yummy.
Kim, it doesn't bother me that they don't like big rides. They are always giving Kayley a hard time for her hair, her shoes or whatever else is bothering them about her. She feels left out a lot because of it. Little girls can be very petty, even at 7 and 8. Kayley was really looking forward to a fun day and was in tears on the way home. Makes this mom sad. Oh, and I was crabby yesterday too. That usually affects the way I describe situations.
Thanks for the update yo. I don't like those mean girls. Tell kayley she's just great the way she is and to tell those girls to shove it.
Awww, that is sad. :( what a bunch of lame leaders for sticking her with them. Boo, those girls sucks!
Also, how did you get two shirts free??
They were on the 75% off rack. Sometimes target.com has coupons for clothing. These were $3 off merona brand clothing. The shirts were clearanced for $3 so I got them for free!
Nice!!!
