Now I just need to get rid of the 30 lbs
I put on in the last 6 mos.

Owen Patrick Craig

I was blessed with an invite to baby sit my
2 1/2 year old nephew Owen today. He is so
funny! And very busy! We played kitchen, trains,
trucks, puzzles, cars, colored, danced and ran
around and I pushed him on his swing.
All in an hours time! No wonder kids take naps,
they don't stop moving! I just can't get enough of him.
I also can't wait to meet the next little Craig.
Here is a few shots I took of him today.
Check out the eye lashes!



Have a great week end!
Peace!

Check out my Slide Show!

Pampering ME!

I have spent the past 15 years putting
babies and others before myself.
Not that I minded that much, I have
three lovely children and a fantastic family
and better friends than anyone on earth!
I just think I am way over due for some
real "ME" time!
So, now that all my kids are in school all day
(9am to 4pm) I am doing things for me.
I figure some mani, pedi's and things are
good for a girl. Today I am going to the gym
but, not to work out! I am going to the Lifetime
Spa for a 60 minute massage. Then I think I'll
go do some shopping or something. And yes,
I think I will drive the Porsche!

Take care of you!
Peace!

Steamboat Day's in Carver Mn

Here is Emily on her
1st Helicopter ride.


And here is Amanda.

The three of us went up over
Chaska and Carver on Sunday after we
watched the parade and caught all the candy
we could, I even caught a jello shot! Lisa's Place was
actually giving out jello shots to all the adults
that were along the parade route! Only in Carver!
Anyway, it was a very fun day the girls had
a blast. Laurie won aunt of the year cuz' she let
them drive all over in a golf cart. I wish I
would have got a photo of that too.
All I had was my camera on my phone
so the chopper photos are not real good.

Went to the gym again today. It seems so hard to
get there but once I go I feel great!
I plan to go again on Thursday morning.
There... now I have to go cuz' I wrote it down.

It's a cool one here today. High of only like 60 degrees.
At least the sun is out. It looks nice but its not really.
It's pretty windy and deceiving looking out.
My poor pool looks sad! It is saying hay why is it so
cold out? I want you guys out here! So, I go out and give a little
love tap to let it know we are still here. Man, I just love summer!
I wish it was 85 to 95 degrees every day of the year! I have
let all my annual flowers die so all I have now are the few
mums I just got. . I am kinda sick of watering!

A Happy 9 year anniversary shot out to Susan and Gary today!
Love you guys!


Blog on!
Peace!

Ahhhhhhh the weekend!

I gotta say it is nice to sleep in a little.
I love having the kids back in school but I
hate having to set an alarm! I like to wake up
when I am done sleeping. Yes, I have been aloud
to turn into a princesses! (Thanks Pete!)

So, I woke up at 8:45 sat around a bit then it
was time for a shower and off to Amanda's soccer game.
They won like 12 to 4 or something like that. She was thrilled!

Benji just left to go to Greg's for a few days so I think
I'll load up the girls and head out to our church (Westwood)
They are having a car show in the parking lot. Then we can
head over and have some fun at Apple Day in Excelsior.
It is such a nice early fall day. Temps about 70 degrees
and a few clouds. I just want to be out side today.

Tomorrow is the start of a new season for church and the Vikings.
I have lots more faith in the church opener that the good ol' Viks!
Don't get me wrong I am a big Vikings fan I just not so sure about
how they will do this year. Tomorrow is also the Carver Steamboat
Days parade. My brother Tim is the parade director. So, I think I'll take the
girls out to catch some candy at the parade then home to catch the
end of the Viks game.

Till next time....
Love and hugs!

Spice is in heat again!

This is Spice the day we got her.
About a year ago.


And here she is now.
Can you hear her???????
MEOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spice tried all night long to get in my room.
She puts one paw under my door and shakes it
back and forth. She is making me mental! At about
5 this morning I put a blanket up next to the door.
That helped a little. As soon as the breeder calls
me back I'll bring her in again. Sugar is getting a
bit annoyed as well. Right now it sounds as if
Spice is yelling Mooooooommmm! It is very funny
if your not trying to sleep.

Off to the gym this morning. I can't ride a bike
every place I go like the Dutch folk do.

Have an awesome day!
Love & Hugs!
