Softball and Basketball Camp

Okay, seems like I have been spending most of my afternoon downloading pictures and attempting to update the blog - I'm feeling kinda guilty... guess that's what I get for not locating the camera's cable sooner! Once school is out or almost out, the summer sports and camps begin! Softball is a sport that has always been in the family since I was a kid, most of my summer nights were spent at the ball diamond because my dad played almost every night. Then every Tuesday night I use to play for my church team, but have hung up my cleats and now for the first month of summer vacation I spend about two nights at the ball diamond watching Abbie. In the middle of June Basketball camp was every morning for about a week and then mid-July was a week of soccer camp - a very busy June and July it was but Abbie had a great time!

I don't recall signing Abbie up for "sand art"

The last day of Basketball camp, Abbie got her own basketball!

"All about Abbie" and a lot of catching up!!!

WARNING.... this could be a long post :)! Okay, so it has been two going on probably three months since I posted anything! YIKES!! Well, at first it took me a couple of months to FIND the cable to download the pictures from my beautiful camera (that I just love I might add) only for Brandon to tell me "did you look in the camera bag?" OH MAN I COMPLETELY didn't look there and I even take the camera out of that bag almost everyday! Then I was really making a dent in downloading almost 1000 pics only to find out I was downloading pics that I already downloaded, okay so my downloading isn't going that great. So.... I started over and started selecting the pics I wanted to download and got only half of them done to find out my camera shut down due to a dead battery so off I went to put the oddly squared battery in the little wall adapter hoping for a quick charge so I can download more pictures! ANYWHO.... on to picking up where I left off - Abbie's 8th birthday! I had so much fun planning it this year. Abbie was able to invite 8 of her friends over for a High School Musical themed birthday/slumber party and I had our travel trailer sitting out ready for a night of all girls, who all gave her awesome girly gifts! Then Saturday morning I had the girls make their own flip flops, which was a hit I might add. After the hype of her overnighter was done my family came over for a little party. Abbie made out really well! She was able to add to her collection of webkinz from Uncle Jeff and Aunt Helene - can't forget Madison too :), got a boombox with a MP3 adapter from my parents, and money from my Grandparents. To fit both parties in on one weekend made it very busy and gave us all a sugar buzz, but we all love you so much Abbie and we will do anything for you!
