I thought that I would have so much free time this summer that I would get the house totally organized, get caught up on my scrapbooking, and keep the blog updated. What was I thinking?!?!?! I may not be doing any of the above, but I am having a great time with my kids!
This post is going to be pretty random. Sorry!
*Yesterday, my friend Torri and her three kids came over and we all went swimming together. The kids had a great time! Please excuse my hideous swimsuit! I have had it forever but it's all I have! I have been searching around town for a new one but so far no luck. It appears that to by a swimsuit I have to be one of three thing. 1) supermodel skinny/willing to show it all 2) wanting the grandma "skirt to the knees" look 3) or willing to spend $65... on just the top of the tankini! AAGGHH!
* Lately I have this thing about reading books before I see the movie. I am currently reading "My Sister's Keeper". I'm not sure why I originally bought it since the movie trailer made me cry, but it is great! I can't put it down! I've already informed Gene that he has to take me to see it as soon as I finish the book!
* Today Dad and Gene went to play golf in Delhi so Mom and I went shopping (I was hoping to find a swimsuit. Ha Ha Ha). We went to the mall (those of you from Vicksburg just visibly cringed I know) and then to the outlets. I honestly think the people who send clothes to our Carter's outlet live in the North Pole. Seriously people! We don't need long sleeves and fleece in Mississippi until after Christmas! REALLY! It's July! While in the GAP, Trevor came with me to the dressing room so I could try on a few shirts. Between shirts he said, "Mom what's that on your belly button?" I said, "This? Oh, that's a stretch mark. It comes from having three babies." His reply, "Does everybody get them?" Me, "Most everybody." Him,"If you get one of those for every kid you have.... you should have like a hundred huh mom?" Thanks honey! I love you too!
*Last weekend, Trevor's baseball team participated in the BPA State Tournament in Flowood. Trevor's team is a U7 AA team meaning all the kids on his team are 7 and can turn 8 after May 1st. All this to say that last weekend there were only two U7 AA to register for the AA division so they made us play in the 8 year old division (these kids are mostly 8 and some are 9). Nobody expected our boys to do well since they were a year younger, but boy did they prove everyone wrong! Out of eighteen teams the Billies finished third! We were so proud of all of them!
I have more pictures to post but they are still on the camera. I hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th!

I am glad yall are enjoying the summer. I am with you on the swim suit sista!!! I broke down and bought one before out vacation and I believe I will need to take out a loan to pay for it!
Try Lands End for the swimsuit, they have some decent covering suits that aren't too crazy expensive. And I am with you on Carters. We were there last weekend and it was crazy on how much winter stuff they had. Yet, no winter pajamas. We usually buy them now, cheap, in prep for winter. We did much better at Gymboree, shirts for 2.99!!
Um, I had to retire a swimsuit this year because there was just NO WAY I could get another year out of it. Good luck finding another swimsuit. I heard that Victoria's Secret is having a pretty good sale (and they do have some modest swimsuits).
