Lovely Weekend

So, we didn't win the Covenant contest.  I'm actually really glad for the lady who won.  Hers was a picture of her little boy smashing a pill container because he had just finished 4 years of chemo.  Yeah...I can't be too sad about losing to that! :)  And it's really cool that I got so many votes.  Thanks friends!
We went to some garage sales this morning.  I think we'll have to teach Kiley a little more that you don't buy something at everyone :)  We did get some really good deals though.  Kiley got a couple of toys for really cheap & I found some clothes for her for 50 cents each!  Then we found a toy kitchen for her.  It was really cheap so I didn't want to pass it up.  Brad didn't think we'd have room for it, but I though we would (I will make room!).  I told him if it didn't fit then we could sell it at our garage sale :)  I think she'll really enjoy it, especially as she gets older.  And right now she loves opening & closing doors so i think she'll have fun with it now too.  She's napping right now so I haven't actually gotten to see if it fits where I wanted to put it in her room.  *fingers crossed!*
Not much else going on around here.  Just enjoying a nice weekend!

She thinks she's sooo big!

AAAAHH!

That is how I feel right now.  I entered Covenant's "Share Your Moment" contest.  Everybody who enters gets a free reusable shopping bag or something.  The grand prize is an ipad.  Now, I would never buy an ipad for myself (or at least not in the near future).  But I would gladly accept one as a prize :)  So, my video of Kiley has been ahead the whole 3 or 4 weeks of the contest.  Well, the contest ends tomorrow & now I'm not ahead anymore!  My competitive nature is coming out!  I am only competitive if I feel like I have a shot at winning something.  Or if I am competing against Brad :)  Anyway, if ya wanna vote, here's the link:

I realize I will probably not win at this point, but I must keep trying!  :)

And a picture, just for fun :)

Happy Independence Day!

Happy 4th of July!!  We've had a great day celebrating our freedom & hope you have too.  Me, my mom, & Kiley went to the 4th on Broadway parade.  It was Kiley's first parade.  She seemed to really like it.  She would wave her little flag & sometimes wave at the people on the floats.  She would dance when there was music.  Her favorite floats were the Spanish radio stations (I guess because they had brightly colored cars), the Lubbock Right to Life float, and some big vehicle that I think was with the police or fire station.  She has a wide range of tastes.  We grilled out for lunch & had some friends over.  We played games after lunch & it was a lot of fun!  Kiley took a big nap.  Then we had church tonight.  That was good (although somewhat frustrating since there was no baby class; we managed, though).  We're not doing fireworks or anything...Kiley doesn't stay up that late.  It's been nice having two days off...I don't wanna go back tomorrow!  Oh well, only two more days then I'm off again; I guess I can't complain!  We have a family reunion this weekend...should be fun!
Have a happy & safe 4th of July (what's left of it!)
