After 5 hours of no electricity late last night...Joe was surprised to find out on the local news channel this morning that our backyard was one of 10 finalists for a backyard makeover. Please help us by voting for #8. Click on the link...CIProud...click #8...click Vote. We aren't looking for a pool or hot tub...we are in desperate need of new tile for the drainage system. We have had water in our basement before and we want to fix it for good. Voting continues till July 2nd with the winner being announced on July 3rd.

On Tuesday I made I road trip to Aurora to fill our van with items I had won from ebay. This family was moving and they were getting rid of their Little Tikes items. We are shipping off a couple items to Grandma and Grandpa Berry's and a couple items to Grandma and Grandpa Taylor's. We will keep the lawnmower and wheelbarrow. Mommy was very excited to get them at such great prices and in such good condition. Go ebay!!


Daddy thought Emma would be able to climb to the slide easier with this new rock wall. Emma loves it and has already mastered it. Mommy isn't too sure that she likes how fast Emma is growing. LOL

Lovin' Summer

Beautiful summer nights bring fun times for family and friends. We attended my cousin's wedding reception last night at the EP Boat Club. Emma had such a fun time. She loved walking outside checking out the boats. Emma was very cute in her navy dress. Mommy would have taken more pictures but her battery was dead. LOL
