Summer 2009

WOW! I have not posted in so long. I am sorry and the only excuse I have is little league. Those of you that have or had multiple children in little league understand what I am talking about. So to give you all a quick run down of what we have been up to this summer I will start from May.

May 2009

Well my sweet husband surprised me for my birthday and arranged for me to go on a cruise with my mom, Lisa, and Kaylee for Kaylee's graduation.  That was sooo fun!

June 2009

Then Kyle turned 8!! Holy Cow! so in June we had his baptism. It was so special, most of our family was able to come up to attend and we had a great time together. (I would love to post pictures, however, my husband uploaded them to his computer and hasn't sent any my way yet. I will post them when I get some.) Oh, and Kyle was given his first pocket knife by Grandpa and that very same day he cut his finger so deep that I had to take him in for stitches. Nothing like making special memories and having a scar to always remind you of them.... heehee

All this time we were going crazy making it to all three of our children's tee-ball, baseball, and softball games and practices. Elle had a blast this year in tee-ball, Kyle can't wait until baseball starts back up for him and well, Kenzie is still going. She made it on the all-star team and on Saturday her team won the District Championship. The good news is we get to spend some time with Grandma and Aunt Shauna, bad new is that she plays Monday thru Thursday down in 110 degree heat.  But she is extremely excited and her confidence is building everyday!

July 2009

Then for the Fourth of July, all of Britt's brothers and sisters were able to come up for the weekend. We had a blast going to the parade, having a BBQ, then going to the fireworks.

This is pretty much all I saw of my girls that day (sitting on the curb watching the parade) and Kyle was off the entire time playing with Jayton. They looked so cute I wanted to get a picture of them together but there was too much fun to be had.  Oh well!

Oh and I almost forgot we added two puppies to the mix! We went to the Humane Society looking for one dog and came home with a brother and sister. We named them Baxter and Elsie. Then we got to looking a bit closer and noticed that "things" looked the same and sure enough they were and we actually ended up with two sisters, so we renamed Baxter Roxy. Poor gender-confused puppy :(  Our kiddos love them and have been great about helping with the care of them.

You can't really see it in this picture but both puppies have pretty light blue eyes. That's what keeps us from giving them away when they do annoying things... hahaha

I know this post is not very detailed, but the weeks have flown by and I can't seem to remember what or when anything happened. Hopefully I will be able to get back into the swing of things with my blog.  If not, you can always see what's going on with me on Facebook...... heehee!
