Happy Birthday to me!!

I had such a wonderful birthday! It started on Saturday when my buddy Dana surprised me after a massage for a weekend visit. We had pedicures and lot's of fun just hanging out. Then Scott and Dana pulled together this surprise birthday day party!It's hard to pull a surprise over on me so I was floored when the door bell rang and then rang again, and again. I didn't really catch on to it being a party until everyone got there.
Good food and good times had by all. Thank you to everyone for thinking of me. It really meant a lot. To top it all off Scott took me to the movies and a happy meal on Monday. Can't beat that!! I had such a great weekend.

This picture of Campbell was so cute I had to share it.

Fun together

Bath time. Campbell is getting so big, she will not be able to use the sink as a

tub for much longer. She loves bath time and playing with her little duckies.

This is the funniest pose she does for us. We call it the "sexy pose". Now she can go from tummy to sitting up so this pose is no longer, I am glad I snuck this picture.
Most of you know I am not the matchy matchy mom, but I'll admit that it's cute every now and then. Mackenzie thought it was the coolest thing. I am sure in just a few short years she will sing a different tune.
We went to the pool today ( the first time in a VERY long time).

It's great that the girls can now play together.

My precious little "Chunky Monkey"

A few Summer Pics

Sleeping on the boat 4th of July in Atlanta.
I love my sister!!

And one more thing that happened this Summer, Scott put together a swing set for the girls on Father's Day weekend... and the next weekend... and during the weeks. Well it's not level, but the girls have something to play on so I am not complaining. Yet!

I know!! I know!!

I know, I've been slack at keeping up the blog. Such a busy summer, but I will try and give you a quick update and add pictures later.

Fourth of July we went to Atlanta and stayed with our friends Dana and Pete. Enjoyed fireworks and a street fair at downtown Norcross. Then went to the lake for the day for a boat ride and BBQ. My family had a pool party cookout Saturday which was loads of fun. Scott was playing in with all the kids in the pool challenging them to races, and pool games. ( He is such a kid)
The girls spent the night with my dad and their Aunt Amanda. We got to sleep in. HOORAY!!


The next week I was in Chicago for The Pampered Chef National Conference. All I can say is WOW!! I am extrememly lucky to work for such a great company. There are lots of new products coming out let me know if you want a sneak peek!:)

Next we were back to Boston. Sadly Scott's dad passed away. We traveled 15 hours and got there in enough time to say goodbye. This was an emotional week for all of us but the services were great. I am so glad we all got to spend time together. Dicky was more than a Father-in-law to me he was a dad and a friend. I will miss him so much.

Well that's been our crazy summer so far. We are back and hope to be at the pool soon. I will add pictures soon.

Oh yeah, Campbell is up on all fours and attempting to crawl!! Yikes, she is on the move.

Splish Splash Anniversary!!

Five Years of Bliss!!! Scott and I have been married for 5 years and together 10. WOW, I can't believe it. Since the beginning of our relationship we have always had fun so what better way to celebrate 5 years of marriage than to go White Water Rafting. We are so lucky to have the US National White Water Center in our Backyard. This center was built for Olympic training. Two thumbs up for this wild ride, as you can see from the pictures we had a blast!
When Nick our guide would yell "Get Down" we were supposed to get down in the bottom of the raft so we wouldn't fall out. Scott thought the quickest way down was to go backwards????
This is what our Guide called "Surfing." Funny thing is we are supposed to keep paddling during this "surfing' session. Are you kidding me, I was trying to keep from drowning and falling out!
It didn't work!! Out I went. No worries, I was a trooper even with the other rafts going over my head!! I had to climb on wall to get out of the water with someone pulling me by a rope, then go down some rocks to get back in my raft. As you can see Scott wasn't worried, I think he may have pushed me out!!

ALL in all, we had the greatest time together!! We laughed so hard we swalloed a lot of water during our run. If anyone wants to go do this with us we are in, anytime!!

So many people ask us how did a Boston boy meet a Georgia girl,
so I thought I would share our story:

Girl went dancing in West Palm Beach, Fl at the "Monkey Club". Boy was on the side lines staring at girl ( he says he was just staring into space, but I know he was looking at me).
Girl pointed to him and said "are you going to dance or what?" Boy looked behind him to see if girl was talking to him or not. "yes, you!" After some pretty lame dance moves boy asked for a ride home (his buddy was leaving him and of course he wanted to stay with his new love.) Girl took boy home ( she would NEVER have agreed to take a stranger home, but she did this time.) After a quick bathroom break for the girl, Boy wrote the name "Leslie" down on a piece of paper waiting for her to give her number. (by the way he was so proud he remembered my name!)
Girl came out and said who is "Leslie" boy said "that's you!!" No, my name is Misty. Quick thinking boy said well what's my name. Misty said proudly "Sean"!! Well, Scott laughed and as they say the rest is history!!
I fell in love over a Caesar salad. (a year later we ordered a salad and he cut it up for me, I only like my salads chopped, the fact that he noticed that and did it without asking sent my heart a pounding.) We lived long distance for 3 years and together for 2 years and finally 5 years after we meet he proposed!!! I love you, honey!!!! You are the best thing that ever happen to me. Thank you for my two beautiful girls and for always loving me no matter what crazy thing I am into. Your the BEST!!! Looking forward to many more happy, crazy and wild times.

Fun on the rides at Broadway

This could have been an official date between the two of these guys, but shouldn't Kooper have his arm around Mackenzie?? Mackenzie is always making the first moves. How proud we are.

Even more...

Mackenzie's Prince Charming. (well one of them).
Mackenzie was afraid of the pool this year, but we couldn't keep her from the ocean. She loved jumping the waves, she giggled everytime.
Two peas in a pod.
I was very impressed at how well Kooper golfed, I think the daddy's dreams of Mackenzie being a golfer might be on hold.
