Let it Be....

So in my quiet times with God, I keep hearing the same thing in my mind...let it be...and I'm thinking maybe He means let it go.... But no it's always let it be.  So this is me letting it be.  :-)

My sweet niece graduated from high school last week!! She was number 6 in her class!! I just know she has an exciting journey ahead of her!!

I took this pic in downtown Cincinnati the night of her graduation.  It's a very old church that was built in the late 1800's but don't you think it looks like something  you would find in Europe?

These two sweeties spent Saturday night with me. Of course Gommy had to get them a little stuff animal.  Ha!

The pool is open for business.  Anyone want to join us this Summer?

And who know hiking could be so much fun??  We packed red velvet cakes and water to keep us going.  Did I tell you I'm going to Hawaii in a few months?  I'm very excited to see all the islands.  I've been trying to convince Maddie to let me take her Hawaiian doll Kanani with me. Haha!!   I'll blog more about the trip as it gets closer!!  Aloha for now!!!

Happy Monday that's really a Tuesday!!

I love the first holiday of the Summer, I really do.  Yea, I know it's not officially Summer yet but in my mind Summer starts on Memorial Day and ends on Labor Day.  So we celebrated both the holiday and my oldest daughter, Melissa's birthday.

Girls outnumber the boys in our family...LOL

This is Savannah's face after going in the pool for the first time this year...pure joy!!

And these two bunnies kept us entertained all day. They were playing and chasing each other the whole day long.  I've never seen bunnies do that before. 

We had cake and ice cream and I had forgot to get candles for the cake so I searched in all my drawers until I found some and when Melissa went to blow them out they kept lighting back up.  haha..I forgot I even had those trick candles!!

And I tried this form of exercise this weekend.  It's called a TRX.  We do intervals of spin bike and than floor work.  It's harder than it looks and I am sore today!!  But it's a good sore!!  And we got to spend some time with my niece Stephanie.  I miss her since she moved to Nashville!  So how was your weekend and what did you do?  Happy Monday that's really a Tuesday!!  :-)

Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day!! It's a bit chilly here for the first big holiday of the season but we are going to grill out anyway and maybe the little ones will be brave enough to go into the pool!   Enjoy this long weekend!!  I'm off to get my bike out and get everything ready for the grill out!!

Hey I can blog from my phone!!

Ok, ok it's been a long time. But I just figured out I can blog from my cell phone so this could be life changing in terms of bringing my blog back to life!!  LOL. How's everyone or is anyone still out there?? ��  I'm doing great these days & hope to check in here more. Here's a pic of Sassy & I shopping for her birthday. Happy Memorial Day weekend!!!   Any special plans for the weekend?  

Monday Evening Photo Dump!!

I missed posting this morning so it has to be a Monday evening photo dump today!! Another beautiful week here in Ohio and by the way I have no idea why my signature is way up there and not below this post but it wouldn't let me move it so it stays where it is for now!! Lots of family time this past week.  What could be better?!!  Miss Maddie turns 6 years old this week.  I can't believe how big she is getting. She starts kindergarten this year.  She is the sweetest little girl and I hope she loves her new school!!  Kind of makes me sad but she's excited!! Hope everyone is doing well and have a wonderful week!!

Monday Morning Photo Dump!!

It's been a great first week of August here in Cincinnati!! I spent time with friends and family all week..what more could a girl ask for?  Savannah and I went to the ice cream shop and had yummy ice cream, well I did, she's not quite ready for that yet!! :-) I got her a new binky......LOL.....we had some gorgeous days here and I just love the Cincinnati skyline.  I met two of my girls in an area here in Cincy called OTR and we listened to the symphony and opera and watched the ballet. I truly love this city!! And one of my very best friends is leaving for Italy soon so I went to a going away party for her. She'll be gone awhile but I'm so excited for her and all the new adventures that wait for her!!  This week looks to be just as much fun!! Did I mention I love Summer?  :-)   Have a great week friends!!

Monday Morning Instagram Dump!!

Summer days go by way too fast for me!! This past week I spent time swimming with my babies, getting beautiful sunflowers for my kitchen, cleaning up after big storms rolled through Cincy and dumped all my lawn furniture in the pool, having dinner with good friends and of course watching the Olympics!! Who is watching the Olympics and what is your favorite part so far?  I loved the archery and of course the swimming!  Have a great week friends!
