Finally we can sleep in comfort

It only took them 2 1/2 weeks to get it to us but it is finally here. Our super soft, super comfortable, super expensive bed. However, they didn't ship the pillows. Let's just say I've had many conversations with the store and their warehouse. They aren't too happy with me considering I filed a complaint with the BBB. That's right, when I am unhappy with a company, they shall meet my wrath. Ha Ha Ha Ha. Did that sound like a witch? Eh, who cares.

With that said, we have been trying to have fun these past few weeks. Our house was full of fun for the 24th with all of our neighbors over for BBQ and fireworks. Richard and our friend Josh are the pyros of the group so being the boys that they are, there was experimentation. No injuries were reported for that but then the illegal fireworks came. Lets just say a few days later and one trip to the ER, Josh is doing fine. I guess it serves them right.

Family from out of state have been here this month for my uncle's funeral. Kierra has had so much fun playing with her cousins and uncles that she skipped three days worth of naps. Jeff came so it was great to get to spend time with him and for him to see Britta for the first time. It had been a long time where both our family and my aunts family had been together.





Britta and her new best friend Riley. He sings her Star Wars to get her to sleep.

Britta just being her cute self, who by the way sleeps through the night now. I know, isn't it awesome!!



Kierra likes to make forts with pillows now. I think she really likes to hide from us.

Here she is with her boyfriend Mitchell at her friend Logan's birthday party. Seriously though, they love each other :)

Take them skinheads bowling

Oh yeah. We went real bowling. Not the fake Wii bowling, but old school bowling. I must say that I suck at it in comparison with the Wii. It's quite disappointing when your Wii score is 276 and at the old alley, it's a whopping 102 and that's with bumpers. It is also quite sad that a 2 year old can get a strike but I can't. Out of everything we have done with Kierra, I think this was the most fun she had ever had. Full on tantrum when the game was over. She refused to leave. She picked up the ball and ran toward the lane to throw it while crying. Good thing we caught her. It was actually kind of funny but at the same time embarrassing. The bowling alley in fort union has games for $1.50 so we decided to give it a go and I think it was money well spent. Maybe we have created a future pro bowler that grandma garton would be proud of.





Here we go!!


Britta had fun too.

Anxiously awaiting the ball to return.
