Jillian playing in her 'WaterPark'

Jillian Finger painting :)
She was doing water coloring in her Johnny Cash shirt.
She does this after every bathtime, Dennis thinks she has OCD
She got a lady bug, you can see it on the end of her thumb. :)
When we went to Six Flags she just kept begging to see Tweety




Things are going really well here for us. We are sticking sorta to the normal routine we have acquired. Jillian and I spend alot of time in the backyard playing in her waterpark. She thinks its the best thing EVER! :) Its certainly a good thing we do not pay for our water fill, because it would be through the roof.

We spend alot of time taking care of the flowerbeds and making sure our lawn looks good. I certainly wish our neighbors would take better care of their lawns but there isnt much I can do on that subject and since housing is switching hands and it keeps getting pushed back no one is doing their jobs. You can see in my videos the brown grass of my neighbor on that side.

We are thinking of going to Bodega Bay here soon. We all really enjoy going to the beaches around here. We have been trying to find a nice one that doesnt take to long to get to that is nice. We are sorta trying to find one we can take Trixie too aswell. I think she would love to go with us and Jillian and her are basically attached at the hip. :)

There has been debating at our house to see if we should have the third seat put in our truck. We decided to get the cheapest version of our truck. We wanted leather seats and the third row but it was an extra 15,000. Its MUCH cheaper to do it later after buying the cheaper version of our truck. We looked into it. We figure if we are going to have more kids we need more room. Plus, we can not take many people with us when we go places and that eats up on gas. So its something we have been saving up for, and aslong as its in our price range I think we are going to do it.

Other then that there really is no new news. Great- Grandma Engler is finally back after falling and breaking her hip. She has to use a walker now but they are not sure if it will be for the rest of her life or not. Shes back at home taking care of herself. Great Uncle Dennis is in a nursing home now, after having a stroke. He had lost his memory and his left side is really weak. His memory is mostly back now and they are working on physical therapy for his left side so hopefully he can come back from it and get to go home aswell.

I wish I could say the lawn thing is an isolated incident...however...we live in a nice subdivision with a homeowner's association and our neighbors HAVE BROWN LAWNS TOO or a freakin' JUNGLE!!!!!!!!!!!

So I am so feeling your pain. It makes me wonder how they can afford the Escalade in the driveway but they can't pay a neighbor kid to at least clean up their yard!

Bodega Bay sounds like fun. We stayed in a beach house on Dillon Beach and visited the Bay. It was fun. Next time you're up for orders you better come to Florida...that's all I have to say. :)
