Today was a day outside in the water all day since it was way to hot to sit in the house. Justice had so much fun and one of my friends came over and played with us. My yard looks flooded but it is ok, it was all in the name of fun. I am not a big person when it comes to water for some reason I do not like it and never really have but who cares my son does so I do what it takes to keep him happy. I also do not like the heat it makes me tired, grumpy and gives me headaches, but there is not much that I can do about it. I wish it was only 75 degrees all the time but washington can never keep the same temp. and it is either too cold or too hot.
Justice is wiped today from the heat and all the playing, but it is worth the fun. Hopefully he will sleep in but I am sure that will not happen
Justice decided to cover the kitchen in calamine lotion.
I got the chance to review some awesome shoes for my son whom is really hard to buy shoes for since he has big wide feet. See kai run shoes are the best shoes that I have found for my little man. They let his feet breathe and they are not too thight across the top of his little fat feet.
They’re soft, flexible, and supportive…the type of shoe that my little man needs on his feet. The soles are rubber and they are easy for little ones to walk in and if you look at the bottom they say cute things. Here are a few features about the shoes that make them perfect for a child’s developing feet:
- Very flexible soles are healthy for developing feet.
- Wide opening and toe box accommodate even the chubbiest little feet.
- Velcro closure allows for adjustable fit and easy on and off.
- Leather lining is breathable and durable.
- Padded collar adds comfort and helps our shoes stay on little feet.
- Quality Construction
- Leather used for our footwear meets the most stringent available U.S. and international guidelines.
- Sheepskin leather uppers are butter-soft and more durable by weight than cow leather used by many other brands.
- Durable construction and rubber sole stand up to heavy play indoors and out.
If will continue to get these shoes for my son since they are something that he likes and I know that they are going to work well on his feet.The shoes run from 17.00 dollars to around 40.00 but they are worth every penny that you will spend on them. The site is always coming out with new shoes to so to See kai run and check out what they have.
One of my lucky readers will have a chance to win a pair of see kai run shoes of their own from the see kai run line or smaller.

Justice is not refusing to go to bed once again and throwing everything out of his crib and telling me he has owies just so that I will come in his room

Today was a long day away from my little man. I had training for Cookie Lee so Justice got to stay home with daddy (well go to stay with daddy they were not at home.) I am tired and wiped so I am not going to post much other than it was a good day to spend time with some cookie sisters, but I was glad to come home to my little man, he was so happy to see me and that is well worth the time being gone in my mind.

Today was a busy day of playing and more playing. We reviewed some products and Justice just played in the pool, sand box and with the neighbor boys for a little while. It was a wonderful day to just sit outside and relax. I even got in the pool a couple of times today since I got too warm, it was refreshing and nice.
I got the house cleaned and some things done today while justice napped but other than that I just hung out with my little man today.
Justice did decide today to take his shorts and diaper off and run around the yard naked for a while and get in one of my flower pots naked, sit down and told me he was a flower. Then he went and got in the pool because he did not like the dirt on his bum. I thought it was cute, but when I told daddy he did not think it was a great idea, but my thought is he is two and when he gets older he won't be able to do that without getting into trouble so I let him play that way for a little while then I took him in the house and got him into a diaper and some shorts and back outside we went.
Tomorrow little man will be with daddy all day and I should be home just about bed time. Daddy and little man will be going to grandma and pappa's house for a while and I will be at a training class for cookie lee all day, but it is something that I enjoy to do.

You Can Make This is an award-winning website that offers a vast selection of sewing and crafting ebooks. There are also books for cooking, woodworking, digital scrapbooking, and much more and they are wonderful.
I do enjoy doing simple sewing projects and crafts during my spare time which is far and few between, before we had our son I had more time for these types of things. I was both happy and sad to receive the chance to review this ebook for making personalized name pillows. I was very happy to get this review to do because it is something that is fun and I have been wanting to do.
What I thought about this ebook from www.YouCanMakeThis.com:
The step-by-step instructions are very clear and easy to follow, and also anyone could do this.
I like that the ebook comes with the patterns for the letters. Yes, it would be easy to draw your own, but having the patterns makes all your letters consistent in style, shape, and size.
This does require a sewing machine and the basic knowledge of how to operate one.
I am going to be making a lot of these pillows for my son, stepdaughter, 12 brothers and sisters, two nieces and three nephews and I might even make some for my mom, dad, stepmom, stepdad my and my hubby we will see how much time and energy I have when I get the sewing machine serviced so that I can get busy on these.
If you are curious about the products at You Can Make This, then I encourage you to check out their free ebooks. There are lots of fun projects there and they are free to download!
What you can win:
The prize for this contest is a PDF version of the Personalized Name Pillow eBook, complete with instructions, patterns, and color photos. There will be 2 winners for this contest.
The winners will need to download the book themselves and print off the ebook. It is worth it. Open to anyone in the world.

On Sunday we did the normal going to bellingham and doing our running around after church. It was a good day and I really enjoy seeing my family and so does justice.
Monday I took Justice down to Aaron's parents house about 8 in the morning and I headed home. We were going on a motorcycle ride and I have not done this in like three years. We left our house about 9:30 and headed up hwy 20 to clarks cabins for lunch which is a about 1hour and 15 mins, then we went up a little farther to the dam and hung out. It was such a nice and beautiful ride, I now remember what I liked about riding my motorcycle and why I used to do it. We got home about 4 o'clock and had to head down south to get little man.
He has a blast, went to the park, played in the water and just hung out. He did not even really care that I was there to get him. We stayed and bbqed it was a wonderful day. Before we went home we stopped by Joel and Wendy's (aaron's brother) new house to see it. It is really cute and Justice had fun running around there. We got home about 9 pm and I cuddled with justice for a few mins. then off to bed. He was tired but really well behaved since his bed time is between 7:30 and 8:00 now that is jumps in his crib if I put him in there too soon.
I love long weekends that we can do things together and have fun. I am so thankful that Justice likes going to our parents house, that makes it so easy for me to leave him becuase I know that if he through a fit everytime I would have a really hard time leaving him
