The Cat.....

I had an entire post about our new cat....but for some reason I didn't post it...this cat was not my idea...it just showed up or should I say dumped at 5 weeks at our neighbors house..along with 4 siblings. I couldn't say no...Ian has been begging or a cat..ok..enough about that..that was my former post...
Well..the cat is gone..she went out today and hasn't come back..I am so praying this cat..Sandy..comes home. It is the first time I have seen Ian cry...sob..pray..shake..I am just dying here. He never gets like this, but I am telling you this cat is like a human..it even LOVES Jade or at least it loves all the food, drink, and pacifiers she gives it.
I am writing this to remind myself that if Sandy comes home...I will NEVER complain about her again:).......I will be up all night...if you here someone yelling..."here kitty...kitty" it is me...I used to make horrible fun of my in-laws for doing this..

This is what we did all summer long....

Amy Nunez...became Mrs. Amy Prather...here is a photo of Amy on her wedding day..this is her new step daughter:):)
I couldn't have hand pick her new husband better myself:)


Jade doing her usual ride up the stairs....she love that basket ride...

Action shot of Ian on the water slide we rented for his birthday party...we had to try it out before the party started:)


Jeff and Ian trying the slide out before the party...it was HUGE!!!

Summer has flown by...

These photos are mixed up...but I am finally getting around to loading some from summer...
We had a big party for Ian's 7th birthday...we rented this and another slide for the kids...they had so much fun!!! This was a huge slip and slide...so cool!

Jade loves the American flag...on day I was sitting outside in the morning and she was waving it saying.."USA"..."USA"...she is such a talker:)

I hate laundry...I hate wrinkles the worst:(....I am now forced to put my laundry away fast...or Jade hangs out in the basket:)

She hates getting watermelon juice on her clothes...great solution..take my clothes off!

This is a photo of us...minus Jeff..he was out of town on Ian's actual birthday..June 29th...he had 3 parties this year...which will NOT be happening again..I don't even know how it happened but I was tired and broke after it was all said and done!!
