New blog background!

Soooooo....since Cutest Blog on the Block is getting a new server and I needed to get a new blog background I thought I'd really change it up!  I tried more than a few times to get into the Cutest Blog on the Block's site, but it must have been overloaded due to everyone else trying to get their blogs updated.  I decided to do some searching for a Disney blog template and this is the one I found!  What do you think?  I'm still messing around with the font and font colors.  Not sure I like how they are, but who knows...maybe they'll stay this way.  I love having the big Mickey head on the page now!  It makes me smile!!!!  Hope everyone has a fantastic evening!  Thanks for visiting!

It's Jodi's birthday and she's giving us the gifts!

Check out Jodi's generous blog candy that she's giving away for her birthday!  Happy Birthday Jodi!

Happy 45th Birthday!

Please join me in wishing my amazing husband a very happy 45th birthday today!  I am so happy that he is able to be home with us today to spend it with us.  We are going to the 9:30 AM 3D showing of Despicable Me (he and the boys have been laughing over the previews for this movie it seems like for a year now!) and then a nice picnic lunch in the park.  Later I'm grilling him a nice Porterhouse steak for dinner here at home before we head downtown to the concert in the park to listen to a Beatles tribute band.  Looking forward to a wonderful family, fun-filled day!

Happy Birthday Jim...I love you!!!! 

To all of my blog followers and blogs that I follow I am so sorry I've been MIA!  The last month of the boys school was super crazy and I had so much going on.  We literally left the day the boys got out of school to start our vacation.  We had to take our dog up north about 4 hours to Grandma and Grandpa's for his vacation while we were gone and then it was off for a week at WDW for us to celebrate our oldest son, Parker's 10th birthday!  After Disney we headed to Charleston, South Carolina for a few days of relaxation right on Folly Beach.  It was so pretty and so wonderful!  The boys had a blast wave boarding and building sand castles during the day and then searching for crabs in the sand at night!  We arrived back in Michigan the Thursday before the 4th and stopped by our house only long enough to throw some bags into the house and grab a few other things we needed and then we were off to pick up our dog, Max and celebrate the 4th of July!  We did a little camping, boating, swimming, smores making and fireworks!  All in all it has been an absolute wonderful start to our summer!  I feel like we've already jam packed so much in that even if we didn't do another single thing before the boys head back to school that we've had a very successful summer vacation! 

Hope everyone else is having a terrific summer!!!!
