Happy Wife, Happy Life!

For a while, Mike would only watch 2 movies; Cars and Cars2. I began introducing him to new movies once  once school let out. Since then, he has watched, and fallen in love with, several other movies. He now loves, The Lion King, The Incredibles and Finding Nemo. Yesterday, I popped us some popcorn and we cuddled up in his bed to watch Nemo (for the fiftieth time). I really enjoy Dory. I never realized, until yesterday, that Ellen DeGeneres does the voice over for Dory.

Today, after my workout, I invited a friend of mine over to swim at my mother in laws house. We had a blast. Mike had his life jacket on and was walking down the pool stairs before I could even get sunblock on. This meant, I had to dry him off and put sunblock on him. We swam, tossed the kids, had races, and just floated around and talked. It was really nice.

It's Father's Day weekend! Luckily, I remembered while I was at the store the other day, and was able to pick up a few cards. I got home, signed the cards for my dad and Matt's dad and got them into the mailbox just in time. I got Matt a couple of cards too, but shhh! Matt get's his Father's Day gift when we get back from vacation, since it's a little pricier than usual. Tomorrow we are going to my Mother in Laws house for dinner and swimming. We are suppose to bring dessert. I want to make something cold and summery. I found a recipe for a raspberry ice cream pie. It looks good, but I'm not sure if everyone will like it. I might just make Ice cream cookie sandwiches.

Our vacation is only a week away. I feel like I am not prepared. I usually have my lists and everything in order by now. I am really procrastinating this year. I have to get my butt into gear soon. I plan to finish my list and get the kids packed this weekend. This week I will have to make sure I get all of the laundry done and the house cleaned. I always love coming home to a clean house after a vacation. I don't have to worry about getting home and cleaning right away.

We are not spending a ton of time in Augusta this year. We arrive on Saturday morning and will have the whole day to relax from the long trip. I won't be relaxing though. My best friend's birthday was yesterday so I plan on spending the whole day with her! Then it's dinner with the girls that night. On Sunday, we are heading to the beach in South Carolina and then checking into our Cabin at the lake. I haven't been to Clark's Hill Lake in a long time. From what I have seen online, it has changed a lot. We will spend 2 nights there. On Tuesday, we check out and grab a hotel close to my parents house. We don't have anything planned for Tuesday, yet. I might leave it for Matt's fun day. That consists of, Barns and Nobles, Starbucks, and Rhinehart's, but he get's to do it all alone. Wednesday morning we head to Charleston, South Carolina for a day of history! I am really excited to go. I have not been since I was in the 6th grade. I think the kids will really love it. We head home Thursday but stop in Santa Claus, Indiana to meet Matt's mom. We are staying the night and heading to Holiday World the next day. We haven't decided if we are staying the night again or not. That will depend on how tired we are after the Park. THEN, we go home!

I have been working on my Mother in Law's family tree for about a month now. An old co-worker of mine told me that I should check out the local LDS church. Apparently they have centers that help people with their family history. Yesterday, I looked online for one of these centers. As it turns out, we have one about 6 miles from our house. If I get the time next week, I am going to go check it out. If not, then I will definitely go when I get back from vacation.
