Sunflowers

For Easter my Mom got us some Giant Sunflower seeds, and now they have fully grown and I wanted you to be able to see how HUGE they actually are. Here are a few pictures of JD and the kids showing how big they are.

They have got to be close to 10 ft tall. They are just Amazing!

EXCITED

JD has been talking about getting me a new ring for our Anniversary and we were not able to do it then, but I went looking again today on this great website that makes lab created diamonds that are pretty much equal to mined diamonds with the exception of the price, and I found this awsome ring and bought it. The company has just created this new platinum and they are doing a super sale on the products in exchange for a survey in 6 months to report on how the platinum is wearing. I am so excited to get it and see how it looks on. The total weight of the ring is 3.8 carats. Go check out the website they have a ton of really great stuff at incredible prices.

Long Week

So we've had a bit of a long week. Last Monday I went out to the Van to find that the doors didn't get locked the night before and that someone stole our portable DVD player and my Digital camera with over 100 pics of my kids on it. So with that said it was really upsetting to lose all those pics of the kids, but my Step Dad came into town on Wed, and brought his camera with him. So I'm now able to take pics. Here are a few that I got yesterday and I thought they were really cute.

We pierced Ellie's ears on Friday so she has these cute little pink earings in, and I think she looks so adorable. We called my Mom after we had them done and Ellie told her I have earrings in my ears and I'm so cute.

Memories

As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you (if you already haven't). It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.
