"MY GIRLS"

Now I am labeling this post my girls just because I feel like they are my girls sometimes. These are the girls I work with, 2 assistants, 2 hygienists, and of course "my assistant" (that one is for you Heidi). I love working with them and wouldn't trade my job for any other in the world even if I got paid to stay home and do nothing all day. We talk about everything together; homes, family, personal stuff, work stuff, anything under the sun we have probably covered that subject. I'm not sure that we will all be together much longer because Erin is getting married soon and her new husband is done with school in December and so is Heidi's husband. People will start to have babies and you just never know. So before everyone or anyone leaves I just wanted to say thank you to them. They are so awesome! We all work really well together and hard, all to accomplish the same goal while having fun doing it. Thank you ladies! Its alot of fun!

What have you done???

So last night I came home a little later then normal for a Monday and max has to stay downstairs during the day because we don't have a fence yet. Max made a little mess at the bottom of the stairs and dragged it all over the basement. A little background to this story is, we had only been in our new house for 2 months and a hole was made in my wall at the end of the stairs. (a half fake wall to make it look nice in an unfinished basement) My sister and some of my cousins were over and sliding downstairs in sleeping bags like all did when we were younger, my sister stuck her foot threw the wall. I was so mad but I couldn't let on about it because I had 5 little girls looking at me like I was going to blow up, so needless to say I didn't get upset but I still had a big hole in my wall. So no back to the present, when I came home last night max had ripped some more of the drywall off and made a mess. I can't believe we have only had the house 4 months and already I have holes in my wall, I don't even have kids yet. Luckily we are replacing that wall anyway because its only for looks until we finish our basement. Pray we don't get any more holes in the wall.

2nd Annual!!!

This year marks the 2nd annual Voyd R. Stewart family reunion. I can't begin to express the kind of emotion that goes into this post but I will get it done. We had such a good time this year. My mom, sister and I camped in a tent together (the first time with my mom ever). I was so glad that we had this experience at least once if it doesn't happen again but I sure hope so. Next year my mom is in charge and I can only hope we will have as smooth of an operation that we did this year. We stayed at a very nice camp site in Montpelier Idaho not to far from Bear Lake. My grandma and grandpa played volleyball with the grand kids, went jet skiing and had a blast with the babies. I think it was really good for my grandma to have some one else to help with my grandpa and it was good for my grandpa to be with his family and enjoy some outside time.

We spent an entire day at the beach, playing in the water, sand and jet skied (thanks to Diane and Garth). It was so much fun the kids were able to play in the shallow part as much as they wanted, it was just hard to get them out when it came time to leave. Here are a few fun pictures of our time at the beach. Bare with me as there are a lot of pictures I couldn't decide which ones to post (there were alot trust me).

How Does Your Garden Grow?

This post is another one for James! We planted a garden this year because we don't have a yard what a great idea right? Well let me just tell you it is alot of work alot more work then I thought it would be probably because of the size of garden I guess but still....
Here are a few pics so that you can see how big it is and how much it is growing. We planted all kinds of things lettuce, beans, peas, tomatoes, corn, squash, cucumbers, peppers, and even a herb garden and the list goes on.We also planted 2 apple trees what has been cool to think those will be there forever, we even got to little apples. This picture shows the size of them so far the wind blew this one off, sad.

I have learned alot but still have alot to learn about having a green thumb. Cheyanna (my sister)even help plant it this year with me and I think she liked being able to watch things grow. I hope everyone gets a chance at least once in their lifetime to plant a garden to teach their kids or even themselves how much work it can be but how rewarding in the end it is.

STEWART FAMILY-- i LoVe YoU!!!

What a weekend this is just a glimpse of what my weekend was like. My mom's side of the family had our 2ND annual Voyd R. Stewart reunion. What a blast!! I was a little sad to go this weekend just because I was going to be sending my little sister home with my mom so it was like an end to a very fun summer. Anyway I just wanted to post a quick little blurb about this weekend and more will follow but I also wanted to send out a HUGE BIG thank you to my family and especially DIANE AND GARTH!!! KUDOS you guys rocked it this weekend. This I think so far has been the best family get together yet. I will dive more into this later but for now this will have to suffice.
