Doesn't everyone snorkel in the kitchen sink??

Saige has been wanting a pair of "dress up" high heels for a long time. We have looked at Goodwill, but haven't found any that would not be way to big. Yesterday, I found some new cheap ones that I knew she would love in her size. She was so excited and did not take them off except to take a bath. Below is a picture to prove it.

She even asked if she could wear them to school. I had to explain that those are only for around the house and not to go out in. She was amazingly ok with that.

I hate, hate, hate the new template designer at the top of the design section. Once you go into it, you are stuck with the upgrade. After 3 stinkin hours messing with it, its staying the way it is now. So, moral of the story...Don't click on it, trust me it will save you a headache. (If there is anyone who has used it and likes it, please tell me what I am doing wrong.)

A happier post to come tomorrow, hopefully.

We took a trip to Holbrook, Arizona last weekend. My grandparents have lived there for many, many years. It had been a long time since the kids and I had been there so it was a much needed trip. We were able to help my grandma out with a few things while we were there. Before we left we went to the cemetery. My grandfather is buried there and I miss him so much! He was the neatest grandpa ever. I have so many great memories of him and am sad that my children did not really get to know him.

Grandpa Inman was in the Army and the Navy. Tyler is the first one out of the grandchildren and great grandchildren to serve in the military. I know Grandpa is very proud of Tyler and the decision he made to serve the country.
Jackson, Daniel, Colin, and Saige wanted to join in the picture. Logan wanted no part of picture taking!

Miss Saige - your hair is quite out of control. :) This was taken on the way back home. I wish I had a house right on the top, wouldn't that view everyday be awesome!

Look who's driving!

Don't say you weren't warned, there is a new driver on the road!! Tyler got his driver's license today and when they got home he could not wait to take his first official ride by himself. I was a nervous wreck, but could breathe again when he arrived back home safe!

Congratulations Tyler!!

Our little Saige

I am making up for all the time I have missed blogging! My neice Shawna got a new camera for graduation and Saige was more than willing to pose for a few shots. Shawna, you can practice anytime on my kids :) Thanks for the pictures!

Time sure flies!

The three graduates

The two girls, Shawna and Ashley, graduated from Buckeye High School. Tyler graduated from La Joya High School.

Saige is pretty proud of her brother!

Tyler's Senior Prom

I can't believe it has been 2 months since I blogged last. Where does the time go? My niece took some pictures of Tyler for his senior pictures and I think they came out very good. What a handsome boy!!

I just love this quote! I am really going to remember this daily.

This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good.

schedule a phone call from Santa or Frosty for your child. http://www.holidayphonecalls.com/schedule.aspx

This is the first Veteran's Day that I have spent as a mother of a son in the military. I have always been so thankful for all those that have served or are currently serving, but being a soldier's mother makes today feel different. When we went to go and see Tyler graduate from basic, we got to hear them say the soldier's creed and it brought tears to my eyes. Without hearing it said by a group of soldier's you will never get the full effect, but the words are amazing.

I spent $54 and saved $224 at Fry's today!! They have an awesome ad and take other store coupons and are doing quad coupons up to $1.

I was going to try and post everyday, well that didn't last very long. LOL - Don't know what I was thinking. :) Anyway here are a couple of things we've been up to.

For Saige's birthday we had an Icarly party. Well, if you watch Icarly you know about Spencer's great spaghetti tacos. :) So we had to have the at the party. All the kids thought that was really fun. The other night we have spaghetti for dinner and Saige gets out the taco shells. I don't think she will eat regular spaghetti again. :) She says these are yummy!

A day at the park...

I love how when I try and take a picture of him I usually get something put in my face.

This crazy dog loves the water!

Sorry about the video being sideways...I worked on trying to turn it for long enough, I'm giving up.

Saige had a cheer day with the Arizona Cardinal cheerleaders! She had lots of fun.
