Another Picture Project Complete!

I finally got another one of my picture projects done. I have been wanting to get this done for a long time, but never could find the right frame. Joyce got the "Bley" thing for us for Christmas, so I got it framed and painted some frames I had around black for my other pictures. This is above the stairway. More coming soon...I hope! :)

Our weekend

Harvest Fest was last weekend, so we went up to the park on Friday night, and the kids had fun playing games. Collin loved the nickel scramble in the pool, even if he threw them all back in! :) Saturday was the parade, and they loved that too. Then we left the kids with Grandma Joyce and went to McCook for an anniversary date. We had a great dinner and a great time!


Waiting for the parade to start.

Yum!

Checking out what they got.

9 Years Ago...

Happy Anniversary, my husband!

The Park

We have been spending many evenings at the park...the kids love it, and the walk does me good! Here are some pictures of one visit.

Collin loves to go for a ride with Kendra on the other side, it scares me sometimes, but not him!

Kendra humored me for a moment and let me take a picture.

This is a BIG deal...Collin would never let anyone besides me go down the slide with him, but was too scared to do it himself. He finally went down with Kendra, and as you can tell, they both loved it!

Collin was lounging on the slide and showing me the airplanes above.

MOPS fun day

Today our MOPS group got together to eat and play. The kids had a blast.

There was a castle to jump in.

Collin LOVED it!

So did Kendra...she wants one for our yard. :)

Eating.

Noah and Collin playing.

Cooling off, I even cooled off too! :)

Fun Day with Cousins

I kept Maycee and Ashton yesterday. They had a great time together.

Having yogurt smoothies.

Ashton watching Jay Jay and having a snack.

Collin building, so he can demolish it.

Having fun with the Aquadoodle.

Summer Pictures

Here are just a couple of pictures of what has been going on for us....you will probably see a post overload, because I haven't been doing a very good job at keeping up!

Kendra took swimming lessons earlier this month. She did improve, but still won't go under water. Here she is learning to float.

We had trucks lined up by our house last Sunday clear up to the highway...the kids thought this was exciting! Wheat harvest is over for the Bley family, but there are still trucks going by, so it's not over for everyone.

Tagged!

The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people (or whatever) and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

UL Expression

I got this Uppercase Living Expression last spring, and had not gotten the project finished. Mike cut a board for me to paint, and also made the frame for it. It looks perfect above our bed! Now, on to the next project! :)

Fun Family Entertainment

Mike bought a little air hockey table on a garage sale. We have been having lots of fun with it in the basement. It's hard to get the kids to do anything else! :)

4th of July

We had a fun and full 4th of July. We went to North Platte that day, and did a little shopping while Mike did his Menards business, and then we came home and went to Marty and Renee's for food and fireworks. It was a really fun time! I forgot my camera in all the rush, but I did take one of the kids that morning, although they were not in the mood for a picture...this was the best I could do!

And, thank you to Renee for making my blog banner! She also took the pictures of the kids....I love them!

Garage Sales

We had a garage sale last Saturday at our house with a friend. It was a fun day, and pretty successful....my basement has less, and that was my goal! :) My mom came down and took Kendra around to the other garage sales in town. She had fun, and got 2 more purses....just what she needed!! That girl has a real purse fetish!

Kendra got these slippers from her friend, Kiersten, and Collin hasn't let her use them yet...he loves them! And, the sunglasses are Kendra's also...from Maycee. :)

Another fun toy he hasn't shared....it's pretty cool in the dark we have discovered.

Collin checking out the toys that Teresa brought to sell.
