They would forget to run and sometimes run the wrong way. I giggled A LOT!!!</p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357393613567444162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuP9YpiWk5-o_Ch6mYuym8wXh-tOXfGsnGzyqjUuK8noTJRo6Bi4aFZVmd6wSpPA2p85mywKh2JSse1GEq23q6flde59fbqnCTeDnOXa4v982zMqZNmdEHo7apxC42FlfrHq7ZiUDPaVi9/s400/July+2009+015.JPG" border="0" /></p><p> </p><p>Laney got annoyed with me because I kept saying to keep her eye on the ball.

For those of you who do not know him he is the Iowa Public Television kid ambassador. He goes on a reading road trip every summer where he goes to Iowa libraries and does a story hour. He is just a blast and my girls love him! Every year they come away with a little gift. This year they got kazoos. We went to Clear Lake to see him this year. Some of our good friends came with us. Then we had a picnic and played on the beack.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiwIqO9OxT1qnxVkyPoKFMVCxINki8Lb8TDgsHwwq1NOV7w_natNdM7-pbeROTp041P7eQDiXVQ40Mez7OJcr-7v62S-M95k6OlJqAXXJ2Ejt5H35VPEWOHy2GLGVd9-4JwE3kDcF3B326/s1600-h/June+2009+021.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352143960708725762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiwIqO9OxT1qnxVkyPoKFMVCxINki8Lb8TDgsHwwq1NOV7w_natNdM7-pbeROTp041P7eQDiXVQ40Mez7OJcr-7v62S-M95k6OlJqAXXJ2Ejt5H35VPEWOHy2GLGVd9-4JwE3kDcF3B326/s400/June+2009+021.JPG" border="0" /></a> This is Laney with Dan Wardell.

The theme of the day was fiesta and the girls could dress up and get their pictures taken. We have one with them smiling but this is their mad faces. It makes me giggle every time I look at it!! This is Sidney, Laney and Brynn.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaQYD7V2nMGf_UVj53ptRb4ogXGUN63H8NjklM0H_o9xGj893l5BouiVyBIYwavHzq9a46ROeZpbPnzPulVsMWB0Z-CfB2r7bzTRcGJDlaFVAgoCHOAq_F7nhXZvjZQtfBRjLW_omXtcOD/s1600-h/June+2009+061.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352139956802112242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaQYD7V2nMGf_UVj53ptRb4ogXGUN63H8NjklM0H_o9xGj893l5BouiVyBIYwavHzq9a46ROeZpbPnzPulVsMWB0Z-CfB2r7bzTRcGJDlaFVAgoCHOAq_F7nhXZvjZQtfBRjLW_omXtcOD/s400/June+2009+061.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />The last thing we did that day was stand in line to get the girls faces painted. The line took an hour!!!! The girls were such troopers ( Jack too). THey just played and giggled and rolled around the whole time, waiting patiently!!! Then when we got to the front of the line Brynn didn't want her face done. So she got a heart on her hand. Sid felt the same way. Laney on the other hand got a puppy face.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAcZFbcAj2dsM_3Vd3bfVP3aBNyNWWbz32xGf2teOo1RP_7sAsGETReJSZQDhwHUnvxCIJvHQHPhBPuvtE3-IE6RUeef3eKeOonhpt2A04gjlwOdiuZHtr82VkoOoyja_oBvDOvg_3WRZl/s1600-h/June+2009+087.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352138945848316178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAcZFbcAj2dsM_3Vd3bfVP3aBNyNWWbz32xGf2teOo1RP_7sAsGETReJSZQDhwHUnvxCIJvHQHPhBPuvtE3-IE6RUeef3eKeOonhpt2A04gjlwOdiuZHtr82VkoOoyja_oBvDOvg_3WRZl/s400/June+2009+087.JPG" border="0" /></a> Once a week we go out for lunch with our fav family.

But finally as of last week I am a new small buisness owner! I opened my private practice, sharing a space with my friend Sue. I think we have spent the last month painting!! I didn't think we would ever get done with that. Then just when we thought things were great they put in the wrong carpet! LOL!!! Oh the drama! I keep forgetting to take pics but I promise that I will get that done next week. Then you can see the huge difference in how it looks. Sue is the decorator and I am the money police! LOL! </div><br /><br /><div>The girls are doing great! Delaney turns 5 tomorrow!!!! Can you believe it?!! That seems so old to me. She had kindergarten round up last week and loved it. We have been going to preschool in another town so she really does not know that many kids in her kindergarten class. There are only 21 kids so they are spliting them into two classes! Great for the kids not so much for the school. One of the helpers said that Laney is the quietest child! I just replied "I know and that is OK!" </div><br /><br /><div>We went to my mom's for Easter.

Many of you already know but Sam died over Christmas this year. He was very old and was starting to have a hard time walking but was a very sweet old dog. She came with our house when we bought it 8 years ago. The last owner tried to to have her move into town with them and she just couldn't handle that many people and cars all over. So she brought her back out to us. Sam always let us know when people were here. She was the best guard dog but never hurt anything. Well except the occasional racoon. She taught our other two dogs how to hunt and showed them around. </div><br /><div>We will miss Sammy very much!</div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298654438438409890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg__rhqrKSUATrvjB-PTrK9or8se-V30M0VHtly_HeVWLiFPVTh8r32miMfi1aIseRP-rpHJZw-IptheP3uED4XBHHDLTsljvknkVjBXyQDCvMvhIKvCrLEqofpnj6JpUIW0ulN_ctR0x4/s400/November+2008+167.JPG" border="0" /><br />SO I also had some pics of my office that I wanted to post.

One of the guys that was with us was a bit insane and made it almost impossible to walk across! THen we repelled down a 180 ft cliff. THat was a little harder. The tour guy had to pretty much push me off the edge.

I won for the bright pink lo I posted awhile ago. That one won on the Scrap stars site (link on the side). </div><div><br />THis first layout won on the Scrap Schemes site (link on the side). It is all about the funny things that Brynn says. We had to use a plate they had as our inspiration. I love making circle lo's!<br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266873464872974290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpF8iuYTuRzRAVFjGkOFImiaA8s6l3SyoQWLK8rJnlmDJWuNiy8_WaI4gKF_sAtdCemTvkS9XLbEUWapw587J7tshSi7evkrEYhzzyiYrSom9patVFfZQ1ydP4GTacRcLifpljqosLuaVk/s320/October+2008+009.JPG" border="0" />This one won on the Dream girls site (link on the side, again!) We had to use lace, we were not allowed to use pattered paper and it had to be all pink and black in honor of breast cancer month. This lo is of a girl that took care of Laney and Brynn at their daycare. She moved to NY and we miss her ver much. SHe was definately Laneys buddy!!!<br /></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266874118560929842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgG-TSf13XWxfvGkEQF_0tkeWlIA4rQD1Q9vTfvp9e0YPWtUjzUvRYmKHoubPkJEZLERPLvnOAr4RHCMT0GQvu3rYHyoRdwDp_XkNzmEUwoixwZIJK3PnoTKaHnDTDczxBlYmJ8nZYlCCm/s320/October+2008+014.JPG" border="0" /></div><div>this next one we had to use a song called heaven help me by Gretchen Wilson. It is one of my new favs and I need to add it to my play list!!!

These pics were taken at my brother and sister in law's house.

I made me smile to make it. It was a challenge for THe Story Matters. You had to scrap an Urban legand or ghost story. I made a lo of how I think our house is haunted! I really like our ghosts though. They seem to be really nice. I took pics of where we have seen the little girl ghost.

Ever since the wedding we have been playing Shannon and Dane and wedding. Laney is Shannon and Brynn gets to be Dane and we have multiple weddings with pretend rings, kisses and throwing the flowers. Then we have a big dance in the living room. They crack me up but Tim doesn't always like the whole role playing thing! LOL!!!! here are some pics from the wedding.

We had to help her a little with that part. I love the smell of carved pumpkins though! The girls then drew the faces on the pumpkins that they wanted carved.

Brynn went as Yoda and Laney as Hannah Montana. THey were both so excited about getting dressed up and going trick or treating. We went to Thornton to trick or treat. The weather could not have been nicer! I don't remember the last time there was a Halloween and we didn't have to wear our winter coats! It was such a nice night to walk around town. People were outside handing out treats and kids were just playing. We ended up at Grandma and Grandpas house and met up with our cousins. That was (as always) big fun!!!!

The girls totally beat us!!! Mind you it is Monday, so that means that I worked and TIm and I only spent a couple of hours with them tonight and they still beat us by that much!!!! They were INSANE tonight!!! I even broke out my famous "if you don't stop I am going to eat your faces!!!!!" Yeah, it totally didn't work!!! I am not sure that most children's therapists would take that same approach. I am not sure but I think that I just heard a thump upstairs of someone falling out of bed. Good thing TIm is up there to save them.<br /><br />So I know that I said that I would post pumpkin patch pics and never did.

He has been thinking about for a while now and has been looking at numbers until his head is swimming!!! But this Friday he made the decision to stay with it. So we took the girls out to his grandparents farm (where the farm land is) to take some rides in the tractors!!! Very fun! The girls rode in the tractor and in the combine. We got a couple pics of them.<br /><br /></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255969305537859266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAVNlsL7ZD-yfU1bSAA8MBQvJi6xKvWwn_BY7nyCbrPZi_yV3s29NcwN9loYEEtod0_1k3lA0AADVA79cnyola6ZAQPoc2tKaTJUHzLcs6w6sDw4RpiHvbHnhNoTlLdcb5o2xOS_KAEyCp/s400/October+2008+004.JPG" border="0" /></div></div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255969866488026258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="230" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhepjQ6-eT3t52msTvTrLqqGKzD6wnusy9oXpoRHRNAoQiwGWC_PEFRqRX4VG_lu1D11rq1CvDa4WihVI2suCzJvSD0ffsQ_MmDqU8YBiLm1NmNLblDpm1oNTnJwUioicwxvFgqLt_KP-Ju/s400/October+2008+009.JPG" width="297" border="0" /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255971977487496642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 193px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="211" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxiJRrGuKcWuKT4vdVbNxW3u3ohx8kxWipxzmKEI2sxCE-adGG8XvFistdw5nf6mDliJ4uKF8LK4vV7soMZA-OL5sS7_QSZMe9r71ClIY9QCxmDL1EhfNxQDGSMQ1Fb0P4mWHosLQ6Qoge/s400/October+2008+012.JPG" width="334" border="0" /></p><p> </p><p>Here is a pic of Tim's grandparents, his dad, Tim and the girls.
