NAKED!

Juice.......that is has a new juice line that is my new favorite juice for the summer! Crisp, yes- refreshing, yes - not to sweet, yes - energizing, yes! LOVE this juice! My hubby brought home the Watermelon chill and Peach Mangosteen for me to taste test and I enjoyed both very much - but I did have a little more love for the Peach Mangosteen. I am someone that likes things with just the right amount of sweetener because I want to quench my thirst and very sweet things only make me more thirsty. I am a advocate for Vitamin Water and have been for 7 years now - I think for the summer I will definitely add these to my fridge as they truly did make me say "Ahhhhh" ;-)

I don't do dishes!

What a weekend! If you have ever wanted to know how the Gourleys spend their weekends here is a taste of this weekend anyway:

Saturday Brian had to work of course - retail for you! Leelyn cried all day Saturday and for the life of me, I just could not figure him out! I tried everything and even putting him to breast wasn't making him happy. I think I called Brian at 4:00 and told him he needed to leave work right at 5:00 because I was about to go crazy! Blaine was even covering his ears telling me to make Leelyn be quiet - that is pretty bad. I ended up pouring myself a cold alcoholic beverage about 4:30. Brian made it home by 5:20, thank God! We all headed out to the front yard where I was more then happy to chill out! Here I am picture courtesy of my hubby, lol. Blaine decided to water the flowers and Leelyn which was so nice of him! I continued my relaxation (thanks Brian) while the boys played. Blaine also decided he needed a drink break and so did I, again! Brian finally decided to ask if I was all right after my second cold beverage, ha! We played for a bit longer and then went out to O'Charley's for dinner and did you know that kids eat FREE every night?! WOW, LOVE that because we waste so much money on the kids menu for Blaine when we go out - he hardly touches his food it seems like. **Brian drove.**

We had Gourley family fun day scheduled for Sunday. We decided to drive out to Augusta and take Blaine to a farm out that way to pick berries, we were all very excited because we have heard it is beautiful wine country out that way. I know we are a little crazy for taking an hour drive with the outrageous price of gas today but it was BEAUTIFUL and worth the $65.00 that didn't even fill up my tank, LOL~ the roads were curvy and very hilly. Blaine watched a movie, Leelyn slept so we very much got to enjoy the scenery.Uncle D would love driving his Harley through the hills - lot's of bikers! Well, needless to say the farm we wanted to visit was CLOSED!? We double checked and the website did say they were open. Blaine was pretty disappointed as we kept singing "going on a berry hunt, gonna pick some juicy ones" (Dora song). So we stopped at the Olive Garden on the way home, I was craving lemonade and salad.Now that's a lemonade~Found a quarter by my car door, so the day was looking better, ha! We ventured to Target Great land to purchase Blaine a slip 'n slide he has wanted and begged us for, for over a week now, ugh!

Had to get matching swimwear for them! (Old Navy)

Ended the day with a little snuggle time and then went to get my pedi and relax. The color I chose was:

I DON'T DO DISHES! XOXO

Three in a day, WOW!

Leelyn has been a little sleepy today, must be the thunderstorms! Here are some shots I captured of him, Enjoy!

An amazing person

If you are lucky, once in your life you will have an amazing person be apart of it! This person for me is someone I know by the name of Lindsay to some and Neenee to me! Not only does she kick as*, she is also in the Navy, serving our country! I have watched her grow into someone beautiful, strong and amazing!I love you Lindsay and I am SO HAPPY that you are safe, back on U.S ground!

XOXO (ATTA GIRL)

Cactus Canyon Bible School

Cactus Canyon Bible School has come to an end as of last night. It truly was a bitter-sweet night. This past week has been a little nuts with the hours, but like the pastor preached last night (which was mandatory for parents to stay) everyone is tired by 6:30, even the kids, but God is the reason to persevere and get going. Jesus loved children and therefore it is very important to teach them about Jesus the ABC's of Jesus that is. A-Admit to God you are a sinner, B- Believe that Jesus Christ is God's son, and C- Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as savior and lord.

I suppose yesterday that is why it was laid upon the table of my heart that motherhood is making sacrifices because trust me, I just wanted to crash once Brian walked through the door! Instead, he took Leelyn to the grocery store to pick up some much needed items, while Blaine and I went to his last night of Cactus Canyon. We sang songs, prayed and watched a slide show of the past weeks learning's and I was touched and moved deeply. Watching Blaine sing the songs along with actually doing the sign language was amazing. We didn't stay for the refreshments but opted for McDonald's to make up for not staying - Blaine was pretty upset but I was pretty tired! McDonald's cheered him up really fast! Did I mention this is where Blaine went to preschool? It was nice to see Mrs. Joy again!

Well, I suppose it is time for summer camp now. Blaine is enjoying very, very much getting out and doing things more now then ever! I am just trying to keep up! HA!

So long Cactus Canyon - it was fun!

Babies are fun and dirty!

I am not sure how Leelyn gets so dirty! Look at this:TOE JAM!?! Okay, lent between the toes, whatever! How does it get there? LOL
Trying the bumbo again, he is becoming acquainted with it more and more every sitting. Check out that head of hair to! I always take every opportunity to be artistic in some way with my boys and my camera. Anyhoo, here is to toe jam! HA!
