August

Well looks like August has arrived. Back to school for some, and a break for the parents. Right Jen? So Christmas planning will be shortly underway. Or in my case has already started. I continue to buy things after Christmas the year before to get a jump on things. The problem I would always face was forgetting where I put the items. LOL

So Brad and I have came up with a game plan. We have totes and we have started putting things I have bought for the family and the kids in these totes so at christmas time all I have to do it wrap and tag. I have found gifts I was supposed to give for Christmas the year before and then end up handing them out as birthday presents. It seems my mom and Erica are the ones that end up not getting the items. I have also made the mistake of writting mom on the tag and not knowing if was for Brads mom or my mom. So I have figured that out also. My name goes first on my moms gifts and brads name goes first on his moms gifts. Until I forget that also. I guess I could put first initials.

So July was a wonderful month. Brad, AJ and I went to Holiday World. Its been an every year thing for the 3 of us to do since AJ was born in 2003. Granite he wasn't very big to do anything then but he went. I will upload pictures later. AJ has been in love with water slides since we went to Rockford, Illinois a few months back. Needless to say we got to spend almost all day at the Splashin' Safari.

August started out with a bang. I started selling Longaberger. I hope it goes well, a little nervous due to me not being one to venture out and not knowing alot of people. I can have orders on my website if you are interested let me know and I can send you the website.

Well, enjoy August. Love to you all
