havin' fun at the beach!

i love this weather! i can't say that enough! friday was spent at the playground over here, then looking at garage sales on the way to my mom's, then having lunch with my mom & sister, then to another playground with a wading pool! LOVE that playground, we'll be back there lots throughout the summer!! then we had to pick up kipp from work. we should be getting a new vehicle early this coming week. sheesh!! later on we went to the bowling alley to help celebrate kenzie's 6th birthday! and even later on i went over to a friends place for cupcakes and..... it was fun!

saturday we were invited out to allen beach resort. stevie & her family were camping out there... we've never been there. it was a quick drive, just a few kms past stony plain! the kids had a ton of fun playing in the lake & on the beach! of course i have no pictures, because my digital camera *somehow* came with me sans batteries. i bought batteries but they were cheap and wouldn't even turn the camera on :( i did get a few shots after the beach using stevie's batteries.... i realized that my camera is super important, and i felt very sad without it working!

our final grade for our yard is finished, now i have to get it surveyed and off we go with grass! can't wait!

i'm sad because someone important in our lives appears to be no longer speaking to us. it's someone close and the reasoning behind it makes no sense, but there's nothing i can do that hasn't already been done. it just breaks my heart because my kids love this person so much, and it was the only person kipp really talked to and laughed with. :( *sniff sniff*

this pic is funny because kai is sneaking in to steal some cheezies! (at the campground)

emerson was so excited with the puppy!
