Crazy Mervyn's Sale!

I got a phone call today from my friend Christa that she was at Mervyn's and would be unable to come to storytime at Russos. I was bummed that she and Peyton couldn't make it so we went to storytime alone then rushed over to Mervyn's to see what all the fuss was about. They are having this crazy buy one get two free on clearance stuff. WOW! You know what a great deal it is. Let me put it this way. I got Lyndsey 3 pairs of shoes. Each of them were 6 dollars but because they were clearance I only had to pay for one pair. THREE pairs of shoes for 6 dollars.

I then went back to the clothing section. I found 3 dresses for 6 dollars a piece and 3 shirts for 2 dollars a piece. Normally I would just pay for it all in one lum sum but today I mad everyone mad and did separate transactions to save some money. I paid 8 dollars for three dresses and three shirts for Lyndsey. What a bargain!

Final total was 14 dollars for 9 items. Everything was for next fall so I bought big.

A trip to the store can never be easy with a toddler in tow. During our shopping adventure I keep hearing Lyndsey say, "potty, potty, potty, poopy, poopy, poopy" and of course I continue to quickly search through all the piles of clothes in hopes of getting what I want before some other crazy shopper gets to it first. I then here, "MOMMY, EWWWWWWWW!!!" I look down much to my suprise, Lyndsey has a huge mound of poop that she is holding in her hand. I start freaking out as she has poop everywhere in the middle of the store to find ONE wipie left in my purse. My first though, "Dear Lord how am I going to do this?" We rush off the the bathroom and I frantically am trying to use toilet paper to clean her bum. Poop particles are flying everywhere. On me, on the floor, on the stroller, on her pants, on her socks! YUCK! Of course I didnt bring a change of clothes so we get cleaned up and finish our shopping with Lyndsey in a diaper and a shirt and me carrying poopy pants and socks. The lady at the counter told me that she was unable to give me a bag but to ask the office. I go to the office and the man continues to tell me that he can't give me a bag for the poopy clothes I have in my hand. By this time I'm frustrated, sweating, and tired. Lyndsey is crying, and I have a stack full of clothes that I still need to wait in line for. Finally the lady hands me a bag for the poopy clothes.

The trip would have been much better if we could have avoided the poopy explosion but I'm still glad we went!

Our trip to Morro Bay LAST JUNE!

Our friends Jason, Caitlin, and their daughter Kinsey came to visit from Utah last summer. We took a day trip to Morro Bay to play in the sand, eat yummy food, attempt to fly kites, and go out for ice cream. It's about a 2 1/2 hour trip but with walkie talkies in hand it made for a very enjoyable drive. We had fun telling jokes back and forth between the cars. There isn't much more to tell about our little adventure seeing as how it was so long ago so I'm going to go a little picture crazy now. Enjoy!

Here's Kinsey and Lyndsey before we left

I can't believe how little Lyndsey looked here!

Me, Lyndsey, Caitlin, and Kinsey

What great friends!

Just thought this one was neat

Here we are!

Congratulations Keri and Philip!

I know this is soooooo late but I love the pictures and wanted to share. Keri and Philip got married June 23rd, 2007 at the beautiful Links at Riverlakes.

It's the same place that Del and I got married at almost 5 years ago. It's a very lovely location. Keri looked BEAUTIFUL and the ceremony was almost perfect. The reverend kept calling Keri, "Kara", but everyone laughed it off. I loved the reception with the beautiful colors and the candy table. You could tell that Keri put lots of effort into making it her perfect day. Lyndsey was asked to be a flowergirl. At 12 months old, you can't expect much but she looked so pretty and made it half way down the isle before sitting down. Del grabbed her and had her sit with us.

This is Keri, Mikey (ring bearer), and Lyndsey

One thing that was kinda neat was that Lyndsey was able to wear the flower girl dress that our neice Amanda was able to wear in our wedding. Same shoes and everything. Philip and Keri are such great friends and we know they will be wonderful parents someday!
