TGIF

I am so glad it is Friday. We have had non-stop rain FOREVER in Georgia. Today is gorgeous, hot, 85 degrees and RAIN-FREE!! Woohoo! I am so excited that the forecast for the weekend is rain-free as well. Maybe we will be able to sit by the pool too. We bought Tori-bug a trampoline for her birthday. Her birthday isn't until June 14th. but we went ahead and got it for her. She has enjoyed it so much. I'll post pics of her on it tonight. She has her back tuck and back handspring on it too. She could technically do a back handspring on the floor, but won't. She is too chicken. She can do about 30 in a row on the trampoline though. They had field day today at school and her daddy went. I am working full-time for the next three weeks so I was unable to attend. Last year she was in a cast so she didn't get to do much. I normally just work part-time so I hated not getting to go this year. Oh well! You gotta do what you gotta do.
Have a great weekend!!

The days gone by

Nothing new going on. I have just now been able to get on here and look around at the different blogs I read. I have hardly been on the computer at all since getting the Wii. It is so much fun and it is taking away all my "used to be" computer time. My husband and I are so addicted to the game we got on Wii. The Animal Crossing game that I told you about last week. He looked on there and discovered that one day this week I had played the game a total of 1-1/2 hrs! Geesh, don't I have a life? He said he was ashamed to say that the same day he had played it 2-1/2 hrs. Needless to say, it is a fun game.
This is Memorial Day Weekend. My mom is coming over here for the weekend. My sister and her crew are going camping so mom gets to come over to stay with us. Well, technically she doesn't "have" to, but she chose to b/c she didn't want to go camping. We can hang out anyways. For that I am grateful for. Have a good weekend. Get out and enjoy the Springtime air (I probably won't, I'll be playing the Wii). Just kidding. Maybe we will cookout or something.

This Week

This picture isn't from this week at all. It was actually back in January when we went to Hilton Head Island for Tori-bug's gymnastics meet. This is at the top of the lighthouse. I don't think I have ever posted any pics of me on here so I decided that my husband needed to forward them to me. I love this picture of me and my mini-me.

Here is another one of me on the way out the door going to church one morning. Not the best picture, but it is me! Sadly the camera doesn't lie.
Now, on to the title for this post..... This week......
Not much happened this week except for work, gymnastics practice, watching the finale to Grey's Anatomy (boohoo), and the finale to Biggest Loser. Oh yeah, we got a Wii too. We discovered the funnest game ever. It is called Animal Crossing with Wii Speak. You create yourself a character then build your town. Kinda like the new farmtown on Facebook for all you Facebookers out there. The Wii Speak part of it comes in when you open your town gate and your friends can come to your town and play. You go around collecting things to sell, plant flower and fruit trees, fish, catch butterflies, etc. When your friends get to your town a microphone comes on (that is attached to the TV) and you can talk to your friends in your own living room. We could hear everything that was said at my sister's house and they could hear us. It is just like being on the telephone except your not!! We need all our friends to get this game so we can play!! I think me and my husband like it and play it more than Tori-bug.
And, this week I won a Pioneer Woman contest. I have never won anything before. It was the neatest feeling. I created an account at Snapfish.com and won 5 free photo books. If you have never stopped by her blog, you must do so. She gives away all kinds of stuff too. She lives on this big ranch and is the neatest person. Her blog is great fun to read and she posts recipes, photography, and homeschooling stuff too.
Well, that is all I have going on. I know, boring and all that, but it is my life. Thanks for stopping by.

Yay Me!!

I got a new vehicle on Tuesday. I have been driving the same minivan for the past 13 years. It was just about on its last leg, but it was paid for so I kept driving it. It felt so good not to have a car payment (we paid off my husbands too) for a while now. I had been looking and longing for a Toyota Sequoia and Tuesday I found one that I loved. It is gorgeous. Going from a minivan to an SUV felt weird. It is so big!!! Anyway, yay me. Maybe I will post pics of it soon.
