Garbage bowl

I can now say that I officially own a Rachael Ray garbage bowl! Bill gave it to me for my birthday. I haven't used it yet, cause my kitchen is kind of small, so walking to the garbage isn't that big of a deal, and it feels like if I use it, it's just another thing to wash....But! I am still very excited to own one:) I also now own the Rachael Ray Moppine too! (which is her all in one kitchen towel, with built in pot holders).

Two wheels

Hannah has been learning to ride her bike on two wheels, no training wheels! Bill has been taking her out every so often to teach her. She just needs a bit of help starting, but other than that, she is doing pretty well! Today they even both rode their bikes over to a near by park. She is growing up!




I also cut her hair today. Here are the before and afters....





Well see how it looks tomorrow after she sleeps on it and stuff! I may have to bring the scissors back out!

A nice Surprise

A few days ago I woke up to a nice surprise! I went in the girls room to get them up for the day, and they had hung a Happy Birthday banner on the wall. Then on Hannah's kitchen there were three party hats. She made us each put one on, and then she got her and Lillian to sing me Happy Birthday. Then, she whipped out a present that was hiding under her kitchen. Lillian was like, "it's cookies!" Hannah was like, "you aren't suppose to tell!" It was funny! And, it was cookies. Newman O's to be exact. The are organic oreo's, and I think they are way better! Anyways! I thought Hannah did such a wonderful job in helping arrange such a wonderful surprise!!

That million dollar question

So today I was able to get a massage, and it was great! During the the massage I was thinking to myself...And, I was thinking about when people ask you that question, "if you had a million dollars, what would you do with it?" And I seriously think that if I ever came across a million dollars, I would hire a personal masseuse, and get a massage at least once a week!
Just me random thought of the day!

Green thumb?

My friend gave me a plant today, which was really cool. My luck with plants though is not very good. This particular plant that she gave me though, she said was hard to kill! So, I am going to try really hard to keep it alive, and we'll see what happens! It will help that I can keep asking her questions about it!
The other plant that I actually can keep alive is the aloe plant. That is because you don't have to remember to water it too often, and it will still grow!

Waterfall

We got to go to Minnehaha falls the other evening, and met my brother and sister in law there. It was the first time that I had scene the water fall, and it was pretty cool. We walked a little ways down, and the girls got to wade in the stream. And then we got to walk to DQ that was so conveniently near by, and enjoy some good ice cream!

Hannah took this picture of the water fall all by herself!

The Fourth of July

We had a fun fourth. We went to a party at a friends house, and then walked to see the fireworks in Woodbury. We thought the fireworks were great! The even had smiley faces! And, the girls had a ton of fun! It was a late night for sure, but worth it. This is the girls waiting in the wagon to go walk to the park to see the fireworks.
Yeah for sparklers!
