More pictures that I just found

We now have a new house going up next to us and about a month ago, the new neighbor was doing some excavating. I ended up proping Bryce up by the window, in the laundry room, and he stayed there for what seemed like hours just watching the tractor going back and forth. It wasn't entertaining for me, but I sure did get a lot of cleaning done that morning!

Brandon took this picture of the three of us on Mother's Day and I forgot to post it. The month of May was caotic of us and I am trying to get caught up on things now.

Emma and her two boyfriends!

I just found this picture and I had to post it. Hmmm, Bryce or Ben??? I guess this is the million dollar question now! This is an ongoing joke between our family and two other families that we are really close with. Ben and Sara have the prize and the joke is which boy is "manly" enough for Emma! A month ago, we had those families over, to watch a race, and the two boys were all over her! However, I honestly believe she can "take" them both and the boys will be left in the dust!

Batter UP!

Every summer consists of ballgames for our family. Usually it is because of me and I do miss playing.......somewhat. Last year, Abbie started playing with a tee and I was on a co-ed league, which made life way too busy. So this year, I decided to hang up my own cleats and be the mom sitting by the dugout and maybe coaching Abbie, from the sidelines, just a little too much :-0. I do have to admit, I enjoy going to the games - this year more so than last! It is MUCH more fun watching a game with a pitching machine than watching a Tee ball game :-)! Abbie is now done with softball for the year and I will admit that I am going to miss not going to any of her games now. Brandon was the coach for Abbie's team so it was quite fun, for me, getting the girls "geared" up for batting and then explaining where their position is located when fielding.

If you ask Abbie, she will probably tell you that she is sick of me telling her to keep her elbow up and to keep her eye on the ball!

Are you sure I can't steal bases yet?

Last Day - now an official 2nd grader!

The way my summer is starting to look I figured I'd better post these now BEFORE school starts in the fall :-)! Abbie had a hard last day, her good friend has moved to North Carolina and both girls were taking it quite hard. Things quickly changed when Alexis called and the two got together to play this past weekend! Abbie is also having a hard time because she just loved Miss Cummings. I don't know if Abbie will ever have another teacher like her again in her future school days.



Abbie and Miss Cummings

Eventhough the day was cloudy and on the chilly side, Miss Cummings thought ahead and had visors for all the kids to decorate in case the day was going to be warm and sunny.

Since a variety of sicknesses were going around, Miss Cummings had all of the kids clean their desk from top to bottom to get rid of the germies! Bryce even got into it! He just loves Derek, one of Abbie's classmates. Everytime we visit school, he always sits by Derek.

With a few hundred kids running around, on the playground for the last day carnival, the school decided to have each grade in a different color so the teachers can keep better track of them! All 1st graders had to wear blue. That was very difficult for me to find, I had to dig for a blue shirt for Abbie since her favorite color is pink! This is the last 1st Grade Class of 2008 picture that was taken. Kinda bittersweet - my little girl is growning up!

What Year do I belong in????

You Belong in 1995

With you anything goes! You're grunge one day, ghetto fabulous the next. It's all good!

I found this on my cousin, Kim's, blog so I hope she doesn't mind me copying her! I had to try it out, just out of curiousity and well, this sure does fit me to a tee!

What Princess Are You?

You are Mulan!

Strong and Spirited. You're no one's girly girl; actually you are a very determined person with a strong sense of self. Never let go of that! The only thing that equals your sense of self is your family, but traditions of society can always be bent to protect something or someone you love.

I've been tagged!

Well, my cousin Kim tagged me 'cuz she said that I haven't posted in a while. Sorry 'bout that Kim! Guess I have to tell you 5 things about me that you might not know. Here it goes!

1.) I broke my arm in early elemetary. Some of you might remember me being a runt. I was on my cousins trampoline and we were playing the game popcorn. Well, I was the popcorn and my cousins wanted to see how high I could "pop!"

2.) When I eat at Mc Donalds I am VERY predictable. I always have a #2 cheeseburger value meal - minus the cheese and onion. Could it kill them to have a hamburger value meal?

3.) I very seldom leave the house to just drive somewhere. I am getting very content just staying home, which is a complete 180 degree from what I use to be like!

4.) One of my ultimate favorite thing to do is to camp at a race track! I just LOVE to kick back, relax, and watch all of the idiots! Some give us really good laughs!

5.) I LOVE to camp with Brandon and the kids. It sure is a busy time keeping up with Bryce, but it sure pays off to see the look on their faces when we hook up the trailer. Since the spring time is busy it is good to get away and have a simple life vacation. Okay, well my simple may be different than others. I don't rough it at all! We have a trailer with ALL the amentities of home.

I guess now I have to tag someone. Well, I don't know how frequently these two people look at my blog, but I am going to tag Robyn and Becky. Sorry Becky, I know Kim tagged you but I am going to double tag you! Maybe that means you have to tell us 10 things about you :-)!
