NEGLECTED BLOG & FRUIT LOOP PIE

My poor lil blog is feeling so neglected. To make up for that I gave her a new design....what do you think? Not sure I like it (I am partial to pinks) but it's growing on me!

So what has happened in the MONTH since I've blogged you ask? 

Summer is in full swing...hotter than the devils house

Enjoying having all of my chickies close by

Planning a vacation in December to the most magical place in the world!

Planning a couple of camping trips this fall

Got stuck in an elevator at Dillards for an hour!! Can now check that one off my bucket list!

Pretty boring summer huh? That's okay, its been a nice quiet summer, spending time at home with my little family...cooking, eating and sharing our days with one another. Not a thing wrong with that I'd say! We did buy a pool for them to cool off in and they are loving it.

Sharing just a few of our Summer 2013 pictures....

 

You have to capture a picture of The St Louis Cathedral when you visit

New Orleans..so beautiful.

  

And of course the pink flamingos at the Audubon Zoo

 

The entrance to the zoo...really nice!
