New Refrigerator!

We got a new refrigerator on Friday because our had finally bit the dust. It was really hard finding one that fit into our small space, had a freezer on the bottom and was within our price range, but we were able to do it. It is a GE (which we really didn't want), but it has a great energy rating and has an ice-maker so we will have plenty of ice to make ice-cream!

We also finally have appliances that are all the same color (well, expect for the microwave, but we really don't use that). They might not all be the same brand, but at least they are all white.

Since last summer, we have had to replace all of our appliances. It started with the washer and dryer last June, then the stove for Christmas, the dishwasher for my birthday and now the refrigerator. If the microwave ever does go (which is doubtful since we really don't use it), I would like to replace it with a convection oven, but that will have to wait! I'm thinking we should be set for at least another 10 years when it comes to appliances!

Hodge Podge Pictures

Martha and Jaina were exhausted after a long Mother's Day. I couldn't resist taking the pictures of them just crashed out.


The girls got me a label maker for Mother's Day. I've been wanting one for months and mentioned it to the girls and Dara actually wrote it down so she wouldn't forget! I guess it was even on sale so they got a great deal. I immediately labeled a couple of things because I was so excited and then did more on Monday.


Because we buy in bulk, I have been known to grab the wrong container. I love that everything is labeled now!


I even labeled the girls' school binders. They know who's is who's because they each have a different color, but I love that label maker!


Saturday after the Life Walk, my niece and two nephews celebrated their birthdays. They had a Dr. Seuss birthday party. I didn't get pictures of the kids opening the presents I made/got them, because I was writing everything down for my SIL. Hopefully she will send me the pictures she took.


All of us girls did the Life Walk again this year even though it was raining. It's hard to see everyone under the umbrellas, but we are all there. I took close ups so you can see we all participated.


The girls complained a couple of times about being cold or tired, but they were glad they made it the whole way. My friend Michelle walked with us.



Spending time at the Blessing of the Jeeps.


Martha likes to stand up in the middle of the room. I see walking in the near future!


My daredevil--standing in rocking chairs!


What a cutie. She had just sat down real quick because she had been standing in the chair just seconds before.


Martha and Jaina love the rocking chairs.


Jaina likes playing with Snow White. Thank goodness Sabra is willing to share her with her.


I just love the faces she makes!
