Catching up to do....

We have been a little busy the last week or so- but to recap.... Doug had the DARE state conference down in Fishers, IN so we packed up and headed that way. While Doug was in sessions, we headed to Super Target, the Mall, Connor Prairie and the boys swam at the hotel pool and hot tub. Thursday night was "family night" provided by DARE Indiana. We went to Head Pinz for a Pizza dinner and free unlimited bowling. It was a fun get together.
When we came home it was time to get ready for Landon and Alex's birthday party at the Joy Jungle. The boys had a great time with their friends and running around. I wish I could have made the party longer but I was already breaking the bank at the 2 hour rental. The following day, we headed to Ann Arbor to take Nick to Michigan's Baseball camp. We got him registered, met and talked with the head coach Rich Maloney. When Nick was getting his picture taken with Coach Maloney (and the BIG TEN Trophy) an assistant coach noticed Nick's shirt and asked if he was from Warsaw, IN.... This coach "did time" at Grace college as a baseball coach and still has some inlaws in the area. Coach Maloney also has friends from this area too... he also coached at Ball State. -- small world--. Nick had a great 3 days of camp and me and the other two hung out at my sisters for some relaxation. I went over to the Pottery Barn outlet, but was disapointed. Nothing really on sale- and nothing that I needed. I did however, stop at Just Julie's.. let's just say our credit card was smoking by the time I got done there and Doug got done at the M Den---hence another reason to have a garage sale tomorrow and Saturday... wish me luck.
I have pictures to post and video to play.. i just won't be to post until later.
Looking forward to a bright, sunny day and lots of money tomorrow... LOL!

It's 9:35 am, and I know where my kids are.....

They play hard and sleep hard during the summer. The only one that got up early was Landon and he is still in his underwear!! I love summer mornings.... Today is going to be a great day for the pool... no clouds in the sky, a balmy 85 degrees and a crystal clear pool to jump into!






Life is so good!!!!! Doug and I are truly BLESSED!

On the money side

Remember my post from June with CVS where I purchased the centrum cardio vitamins??? I got my rebate in the mail today-- PLUS I sold the vitamins in a garage sale for 2.00 . MONEY MAKER!! LOL.. just had to share.

Ah..... summer

Summer has been in full swing for quite a while in the Light household. We've played soccer & baseball, we've visited the zoo, we've made it to Michigan, we've gotten sunburns and mosquito bites,went on bike rides, gone fishing in ponds and creeks, we've made smores, we had our 4 th of July fireworks display, we've had firepit fires ( away from the house, of course!!) some of us (ME) managed to get poison ivy in the summer fun. What else is there to do you ask... well..... THERES:
Baseball camp - football practice (Doug's there tonight) - YMCA camp - DARE conferences, another garage sale ($$ woot-woot), more swiming to do, back to school shopping, back to school sign ups and maybe some more baseball games. It's hard to believe that on August 15th the kids should be back in school - my boys will be skipping the first day this year... they will be ON VACATION with Aunt Krista- while Doug and I are in San Antonio for DARE.
Alex and Landon are sharing a birthday party this year at the Joy Jungle. Both seem pretty excited. How did Alex get to be 5 so soon anyway???
