Matt and I have decided to fix up the patio. We were thinking about getting some teak patio furniture since our patio is covered. I don’t know with all of the animals out there it is hard to spend very much money on it because in the long run it just gets messed up. We will see what happens.
Our middle daughter is having a time with acne. She is thirteen and her little face is starting to break out. We do not want her using all of those harsh chemicals on her face so we are looking for a natural acne treatment that is safe and works. There are not that many on the market but we were able to find one that seems to be working, keep your fingers crossed.
With all of us going to Asia this summer I have been looking at a travel guide to help learn my way around a little bit before we there. The one thing I want to do while I am there is eat the stinkiest fruit in the whole. Take a moment to Google it. 
The girls are so excited and so am I. I want to see all of the street hawkers and eat something on a stick.
This weekend we went to another toddler’s birthday party so that meant a day of shopping. Lani was so amazed at the amount of toys she saw she could not decide which one to pick. It was so funny she just ran around and said OH the whole time. She is so cute.
We are looking into giving Michaela the car Matt has now and getting him a new car. Right now are in the budgeting and planning stage of the end goal. We are paying off several bills right now in order to free up the extra cash for the new car payment. We hope to get him a car in the next couple of months. We may wait until we get back from Asia but it all depends.
Tonight Lani and I were playing on the floor and she was jumping on me and laughing and we were having so much fun. When I went to get out of the tub tonight I could have used a bath lift because my back was aching so much it was crazy. I guess I did not realize it was hurting because we were having so much fun.
With the time getting closer for Mom and Dad to move here and summer on the way it will be a perfect time to get Lani a swing sets for their yard. As I have said many times we have a couple of dogs that keep our backyard tore up so putting a swing set back there is not an option for us right now. That is one of the nice things about having grandparents close, we can put one up in their yard and Lani will have so much fun.
As we all know Tanya can be a little crazy at times well this goes to show that when you think you have seen it all something else happens. She was driving in town the other day and dropped her cell phone on the floor and can you believe she just bent right down and picked it up? Well if the car in front of her would have had led tail lights or some sort of flashing light saying “don’t hit me” she would have seen them. Unfortunately, she slammed right into the back the car. She was stunned, air bags deployed but thank goodness the people in the other car were unharmed. One piece of valuable advise, if you drop you phone leave it there, they will call back.
We finally had to break down and buy a new coffee makers because Michaela has discovered she can not make it through the morning without cup of coffee. The old one we had did not have a light on it to show you that it was on or off so we bought one that had a digital display and you can make one cup at a time so she is not wasting coffee.
One of the things we need to make sure of for our trip is that we have enough laptop memory to download all of the pictures we are going to be taking on the trip to
