Pics of Tyler

Finally, a little blogspot about our TyTy! Here are a few photos of him in his summer play productions! But don't get your hopes up too high...that's ALL we have about him. Haven't talked to him lately. The first 2 are from his play "I love you,now change".....the 3rd is from "guys & dolls".

Cute little layout of the booger.

Oh Lord forbid, Halloween is totally going to be a nightmare. This is the cute little bee costume that I bought at Target for 12.99.

Cute, cheap, but the kid is NOT going to go smoothly with it. It took close to 24 hours for her to LET ME try this costume on, and then when SHE decided (yes, the 2 1/2 yr old made the decision, not the 38 yr old) she was ready to try it on, she was screaming bloody murder because both her arms got stuck. Jeez Louise.

The outfit is going back to Target.

I wonder what outfit number 2 will be and wonder how many more outfits there will be. Surely other mothers can give advice on this subject in the comments below.

Happy Monday!

Well, I figured I had better blog something so people don't think that I have given up on my blog! There just hasn't been much to blog about! Even I, who can pretty much talk about everything and anything doesn't have much to say lately! Just not alot going on which sometimes is good!

This weekend consisted of going to the park and fishing again. Madison brought along her dolly to the park and I photographed her (the dolly, not madison) while I was watching Steve play on the playground stuff with Madison.

I am sure the people thought I was nuts taking a picture of a doll. Of course they probley think I am even crazier taking a picture of my starbucks iced' coffee.

Oh, we have Chester back for another week! Yeah! He is such a good doggie and Madison LOVES playing with him! Well peeps, that's all the news that the Michaels household has. Have a good Monday everyone!

Not much to blog about lately. I WISH I would remember to bring down my camera (bet cha never thought I'd forget my camera ever, did ya?) to Lynnies so I could take a photo of what we have been doing to her porch. It is probley the coolest porch EVER! I wanted to do a before and after photo, but there will only be an "after" photo since I forgot the camera again when we started.

Chester went home with Alexis today after I picked her up from the airport. We'll miss Chester, BUT we get the honor of babysitting him for another week next week. Kinda got use to that doggie being here:)

Here's a cute little photo of the little booger that Steve took. The white thing in the photo is her little puppy.... hee hee, she was relaxing by the pond with her puppy.

I think Madison had her first little dream where she woke up actually being mad. She woke up this morning accusing me of having ice cream but not letting her have any. I kept telling her we don't have any ice cream and she'd say, YES YOU DO!!! She was in complete hysteria for about 15 minutes. Surely she got that from her mother:) She finally calmed down abit and was quite happy with her cereal bar that I ended up giving her.

That's all peeps. I don't have much to say!

Sunday

Well, it was another beautiful day today and we went back to the park! FUN STUFF. Not a whole lot going on besides that. Oh, I finished putting magnets on the back of the little alphabets that Madison and I created on our last little craft day (actually craft hour, maybe only 1/2 hr at the most). The magnets look cute and colorful on our fridge! You my friends get a little sneak peak at them...here they are.... I don't know if I ever mentioned that awhile back I won a contest at our little town scrapbooking store. I won the grand prize of 100.00 worth of stamps. I acutally had to wait for ever for the lady to get them to me and she felt so bad she gave me 200.00 worth of stamps. That was so fun picking them out! It was like being a millionaire and instead of spending 10.00 like we would do on ONE stamp, perhaps TWO if it was a good payday, you'd go out and easily purchase 200.00 worth of stamps...just because you can. To tell you the truth, 200.00 worth of stamps really is not a whole lot of ACTUAL stamps. Not that I am complaining..... We are still babysitting Chester. I will miss him when he is gone. I think we will all miss him. Except Steve won't miss cleaning up the poop part of him:) hee hee.

Saturday

What a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful fall day today! Is it acutally fall or technically still summer? I guess meterology isn't my strong point. I don't even know if meterology would be the correct name. That's weather, right? Must be then:)

Anyways....on this beautiful day we went down to the "big" park. Madison was soooo happy that we got there FINALLY. Seriously, I am closterphobic and had a little mini attack the last time we went to the park and I had to go through those tunnels. I am sure the 100 degree heat had something to do with it, however, I STILL can't muster up the courage to get through those tunnels hence we never got there most of the summer since Steve's hemotobin seroma (the leg thingie) prevented him from doing any climbing on or in things.

We also brought the poles along and did a small (very small) amount of fishing. Madison started getting crabby and well, you know how that goes! Madison caught a few small sunnies and Steve and I didn't acutally catch anything but had a few fishies take our worms!

Then we went walking and saw the first signs of fall! Come to think of it, doesn't summer end like September 21 or something? I just don't remember leaves turning this early. Guess it is mid September. We walked while missy m snoozed in her stroller (grahm crackers and all on her mouth still). It was a fun day out today!

Oh......we are so horrible at bdays...Happy birthday Niki and JoAnne! Of course it's midnight and I just looked at the calender and saw we missed your bdays (both)....oops. One of these years we'll be really good and get it right...on time.

Babysitting...

Boy, am I ever slacking in the blogging department lately. Too much stuff to do I guess. But then again, ask me what it is I am doing and I can't really tell ya. I am sure Steve can't tell you what I am doing either!


Oh, we are babysitting Chester. Chester is Jimmy and Alexis's doggie. Here are some cute pics of him.

Madison absolutely loves him! And Chester is SUCH A GOOD DOGGIE! He listens very, very well and I am totally comfortable with him around Madison. It's fun to watch them because they are on about the same wavelength! haha. I am laughing so hard right now over that statement but it's so true! I am sure I will get some excellant photos of the two of them over the week.

Oh, did we tell everyone that Tyler got into the Shakesphere play at college? We do not EVER hear from the boy so there is not much more I can say about him. Steve did call him tonight because it's been so long since we've heard from him. I would assume the school or Barb would notify us if he were in any type of immediate danger. Ty, if you are reading this blog, "PHONE HOME".

Made these papers myself.

Do you like the papers in this layout? I made everything myself. If you aren't a digi scrapper you probley won't get it, but this is my first minikit. Kim and I are starting our own little digiscrapping business. Just learning some of the ropes so nothing is great.....YET!

Layout of Anna

I LOVE this layout I did of Anna and her horsie!

Layout for Papa

Love this picture soooo much that I had to do a layout of it for you papa. A little bday present AFTER your birthday:)

It's been awhile since I've posted!

Hi!
I feel like I haven't been to my blog forever and ever! But fear NOT....I have returned with updates glore. Acutally nana and papa have been in town for papa's bday for the last 4 days or so and we've been busy running around with the fam. It's been really fun. Thursday night we went over to Jeff and JoAnn's for dinner. Then on Friday, Steve took the day off of work and bright and early the guys went golfing (I choose to sleep in)! That night everyone came over to eat supper. Nana had a little mishap with the jalapeno's buring her hands. Poor Nana. In the afternoon we also went golfing, this time with myself included. Note: the absolute worst game I have ever golfed. Seriously. Infact, the afternoon golf game wasn't that hot for anyone that participated in our little golf group! Saturday the guys woke up early again and went fishing while Nana and I and the little misses (Madison) went to Anna's horse show. It was fun! The horses are beautiful. Sunday was the reinsance! Nana and Papa are leaving tomorrow! It was fun spending time with everyone! Bye Nana and Papa.....we love you and miss you already *disclamer: you both are acutally sleeping in our house right now, but you know what we mean!

It's our 3rd Anniversary!

just another layout.

Guess who went to the zoo today and forgot her camera. Me. Bummer....oh well....! It was super duper hot out. That was about all we did on this Labor Day. Tomorrow is our 3rd anniversary. I am going to upload a video thingie I did for Steve shortly. Good night!

Today

Here is our little missy M with my sports bra on. She is in such a hurry to grow up! hee hee. Steve said she played with my bra for about 5 mintues and then he ran and got the camera!

Too funny.

We ended up going to the farmer's market today down in Mpls. Steve bought some more pickles to pickle. That's about all!

For Labor day we are probley just going to go to the como zoo. We have a bunch of ticket we need to use up at the kiddieland rides. Madison will have fun.

Oh, I put a new poll up to the right of this blog entry. I am trying to decide on how to spell Madison's nickname. Yes, YOU our friends will help determine how we should spell our child's nickname. Not that anyone really cares, but I have spelled it different too many times and thought it's about time we narrow it down to one spelling. So, get your votes in. I'll leave it up there for a month.

Happy September
