Fun night with Mommy!!

Brooklyn and I off for a night of shopping and some other fun activities. We are having a girls night out since Jason has to work late to night!!
Watch out Hobby Lobby here we come!!!! lol =)
I will post pictures of our fun night!!
Hope everyone else has a great Friday night!!!

On our way to Target!!! One of our FAVORITE stores!!

We LOVE Hobby Lobby. We went to get stuff to make some special Christmas things, but we can't tell!!! =)

Has you can tell we had to have a wardrobe change. We had a little problem with our Cherry Slurpee. =) Thank goodness Target had some great clearance on summer clothes!!


Brooklyn loved this "BIG" corn on the cob. She thought Grandma needed this!!


And of course we could not go to Hobby Lobby without going to Toys-R-Us!!! We love that store and it is right next to Hobby Lobby!! =)
We had a great time to night. I love my little girl and she is the best!! Thank you God for giving me such a little blessing....Brooklyn Sophia!! =)

We have been doing a lot of this...







Brooklyn LOVES to swim!!!

Well, in a couple of weeks the Brooklyn goes back to school and she is really excited to go!! =) I am excited for her, but will miss my time with her!! =) I can't believe that Brooklyn is going to be in Kindergarten!! She is getting so big!!! We did a lot of her school shopping last week and now just need to pick up a couple more things and we will be done. We had lots of fun shopping together. She loves shopping for shoes, clothes, and anything that I will let her help with. She was very excited when I let her pick out her own outfits and tennis shoes!! She did a great job and got most of the stuff she wanted!! =)
(These are the shoes she is very excited about!!!)
Her very first pair of Skechers!!!

It is hard to believe that SUMMER IS ALMOST OVER, but I am getting ready for pumpkin weather!! I love FALL.....it is my favorite time of the year!! I really don't want it to get cold, but I do love my pumpkins!! =)

Bye Bye Birdie...

We notice that our dryer wasn't working very well the other day. Then our neighbor came over and told Jay that he saw a bird fly up into our dryer vent! So, Jason went down to the basement and started taking our dry vent apart and this is what we found!!!

Finally....we found all the lint (thank goodness a fire never started with all that lint) that was stuck in the pipes, but no birds nest yet!!!

Jason cleaning out the vent.....WOW, was there a lot on lint.

Finally....The birds nest!!! The vent was completely closed.


Here it comes the nest and it was a big one!!!!!

WOW,,,, 5 eggs in the nest, but of course they weren't alive. We thought that was sad! I think it was just to hot for them in the dryer vent.
Bye, Bye Birdies!!!
Finally...you can see day light!!!
Thank goodness our neighbor told us about the bird and for my handy man of a husband!!! =)
(now, my dryer works like new again=)
