Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of RUM!

Vacation

Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation

LOL. It's the GoGo's. But I am happy to report I am now a week away from VACATION. Off to South Haven Michigan for a week, home for Jimmy Buffett and then off again to Lake Ozark. I. Can't. Wait. LOL

The kids are excited too. Jack asked me yesterday when vacation was and I told him only a week away. He just about fell down because he thought it was a long time away. LOL. My mom got him a metal detector to use on the beach so he can't wait to find treasure. (he had a pirate birthday party) Hopefully my little pirate will find something.

I won't be blogging or emailing from Michigan. It's not that kind of vacation. No email, limited cell phone use. Etc. Really getting away from it all. :)

If I don't post before then, everyone have a great week. I know we will.

Speaking of Buffett

Let's see if this works. Just McKenna singing. She is ALWAYS singing something.

I have been MIA

Wow time flies when you have having rum. Just kidding

Summer is in full swing. We took a last minute trip to Sanibel, Florida and had a wonderful time. I am now back to work and boy am I TIRED. LOL

I only work for another week and then I am on VACATION for a month. We are off to South Haven Michigan for a week, then we will sneak in the Jimmy Buffett concert and then we will head off to Lake Ozark Missouri for another week.

Tim only makes half the Michigan trip and not the Missouri trip at all but that's ok. Work is important. The kids have fun anyway. I would rather go without him than not go at all.

South Haven is the beach everyday and blueberry picking and quality time with Grandma.

Missouri is Swimming everyday, a boatride or two from uncle Mike and looking out over the lake from the most amazing house I have ever been in. I am so glad my Aunt and Uncle bought a house there because when they lived in California I only saw them when someone died or got married usually. LOL My family is so small, that I enjoy every second with them. Especially since my Dad died.

My oldest will be 6 tomorrow. Either I have a great memory or it's the same with every mom. I think I remember every single day of his life. :) He is working on his loose tooth so that the tooth fairy can come. He had a great Pirate Party over the weekend and had such a good time. I am truly blessed with a good looking, creative, imaginative, funny, smart, caring little boy. I have told him every single morning " I missed you while you slept" and I have meant it. The kids keep me going and going and test my patients some of the time but when I am up early and the house is quiet, I can't wait for them to wake up and tell me " good morning mommy" It's the greatest feeling in the world.

Happy Monday to everyone. I hear someone creeping down the stairs now. I need to go claim my hug and kiss. :)
