Georgia Aquarium

We also went to the world's largest aquarium, in Atlanta GA, with my brother Philip, my sis in law Karina, and the kids' cousins Julie and Kaylan. We had a great time Dale was there too, a rare treat to have both guys off work long enough to visit.

Coca Cola Museum Visit

And yes now Audrey loves Coke. I do not let my children have Soda until after they are 3, and never COKE, but some how Audrey got a hold of some, ahmmm Grampa, and I swear she is addicted. So if you have one laying low you'd better grab it because she will snatch it up and start to Guzzle just ask our friend Mr. Richard.

Georgia Our 2nd Home

So I left with the kids to GA on the 13th of February to visit my parents. Since Dale was going to be gone 6 weeks. Anyways we all stayed down in Georgia until April 7th, yeah we love it down there. Plus we were trying to sell our house and since it was spotless it was easier to stay there than have to keep up with a "show house" with 3 little ones. And NO our house did not sell, boo hoo. After coming back for less than a month we drove back to Georgia at the end of April and stayed till August. Like I said in the header, Georgia is our 2nd home, but it may be our 1st this year we have physically spent more time in Georgia with family than in Kentucky. And the only reason we came back in August is because Cameron started Kindergarten. Oh and when we came back in August we came back pulling an U-Haul trailer, and no I am not kidding, and 2 schnauzers because we were dog sitting for our bestest friends i Ohio. Long story don't ask how we ended up with the dos in GA, if they live in Ohio.

OK OK OK I know....

Well as you can tell we fell off the blogging Ban wagon. So here is my small attempt to climb back on. We will take you back to what we were up to since the last posting in Feb, wow has it been that long??? Anyways after getting an email from my sis in law (whose Blog I stalk because they never update either, lol) she said I needed to update, so I figured I better. So keep Checking back to see all the happenings in the Kolvig Life. Love ya all.

Look what I got in the mail!

My mail lady brought my mail and a large package to the door today,(that in itself is a surprise). I received a completely unexpected package from my Aunt Wendy from Seattle. It was this gorgeous picture frame and Living Christ Statement. I WAS THRILLED and it could not have came at a better time for me. My Aunt Wendy made one for my Mom at Christmas and I loved it, and now I have my own. Didn't she do a great job!?!
Thank you so very Much Aunt Wendy, this means so much to me.

My little place of Zen

Dale calls this my Zen. I love to stamp & scrapbook or "crapbook" as Dale calls it. I love even more for things to be organized, this is why he says this is my area of Zen. After I showed him my finished area he said "the whole world could crash and look like a disaster but if you have this one area perfect, you'd still be happy". Boy does he know me. This was all possible because my Mom gave me an early Christmas and Birthday gift. Dale helped put the cubes together, I did some and the desk and after waiting 1.5 yrs for my Ikea bars to go up I put them up myself, if we sell the house I'll patch the walls myself. I already need 3 more bars for all my punches that did not fit. I even have two large steel shelving units on casters that I can pullout of the closet (to the right) when needed. They house my stamp sets and accessories and ribbon and Cricut and embroidery machine and... happiness. So if you ever get a handcrafted item from me this is where the love poured out into that project for you.

Thank you Cameron for giving up a corner of your room for Mommy to have a craft space. You know what is more amazing than that is that Cameron and Annalise do not touch a thing in my area, they are very disciplined and obedient on that rule; and Mommy appreciates it.
