Catch Up!!

What a summer!  We have been playing baseball, camping, preparing for a wedding and a missionary returning, family reunions, playing with friends and working in the yard.

Our neighbors had some leftover sod, so they donated it to us!

Some of our flowers.  The Bacholer Buttons went wild.

This is our backyard AFTER curbing and sod.  I LOVE it!!

Front of the house with the curbing and sod.  We went on vacation and the grass went on strike.  It has started to perk up again.  I am really enjoying the green and looking forward to mowing this bad boy!!!

Blog MIA

Wow!!  I have been so busy that I haven't updated in awhile.  Sorry to the FEW people that get on and look.  We have been playing baseball at our home.  Yellow, Blue, and Red all played this year.  Games every night of the week except Fridays.  We have also been to Cub Scout day camp, Boys Camp, going to Girls Camp, starting football, have a wedding, getting ready for 4th and 2nd grades, going to start pre-school and kindergarten this year, baby-sitting, running marathons (Green), training for more running, sewing dresses, cooking, cleaning, etc . . .   This is SUPPOSED to be our summer break!!!

Anyway, we are enjoying ourselves and spending time with the people we enjoy most.  (OTHERS)  HAHAHA
Hope you are all well out there in cyberspace.

No More Monkeys

Here is Red in her clogging uniform for 'No More Monkey's Jumpin' on the Bed'.  She and her group took 1st place at Lagoon with this dance. 

Red gets her dance moves from her dad!!

Ballerina Girl

Here is our little princess Red with her ballet class.  They took 2nd place at Lagoon.  Magic Tu-tu was the name of their dance.  Red really enjoyed ballet this year.  This was her first year of dance, but not her last.  Brown also went to dance class but she only did warm ups with them.  She'll be starting next year.  We are so proud of our little ballerina and have enjoyed watching her dance.

Red and Company

Easter Weekend

Green and the kiddies with Great Grandpa Dee and Great Grandma Jeannie.



Here are my girls in the Easter dresses I made.  Yes folks, I made those dresses!



My guys. 
Don't they look so handsome.  What a blessing to have three boys to call my own.

Red with our cousin.
 They are riding Uncle Lon's horse Cinnamon.

Brown and Blue riding a mule at Uncle Lon's.  Green is there to catch them if they fall.

We had a great Easter weekend.  Yes, I know Easter is BEFORE Mother's Day, but I wasn't able to get the pictures uploaded until today.  We spent the weekend with my parents as well as Green's.  It was nice to get away from home and visit the people we love most.  Got to spend some time with our favorite uncle Scott too.  I think us visiting had something to do with why he decided to move out of our parents house. 

Happy Mother's Day

Our Mother's Day program from church.  I am on the second row from the bottom.  Red drew the first picture of me, then Blue and finally Yellow drew me.  (Notice the unibrow he gave me)

Just a note to let my mother know how thankful I am for her.  I have a super mom that has loved, laughed, cried and supported me through my life so far!!  I look forward to many more years of the same!!!

RUN. . .don't walk to the nearest finish line!!!

Green ran in the 1/2 marathon again this year.  His time was 2 hrs 36 mins.  The kiddies and I drove down to watch him run.  We had fun cheering for all of the runners, but especially for Green.  After watching the race we were all inspired to want to run.  (We haven't yet!!)

The last stretch!!

Headed to the finish line.

After the race.
