Merry Christmas in July!!!

Today we came home from vacation and look who was here!!!!  Buzz, our Elf, was here welcoming us home! The kids loved that he dropped by for a visit in July! We are looking forward to his return in November/ December.  :)

Each person has two shirts.  One design where we match. And one character shirt each.  We can't wait to leave!!!! 

Baseball Season!!

This summer I have two boys playing baseball and one playing tennis... no tennis photos yet.  It makes for a busy summer, with baseball games twice a week, and practices too.

 

18 Months old!!

I cannot believe this little guy is 18 months old!!  I know I am a few days late posting some photos, I have MANY more from his 18 months and I still want to do another one- two sessions with him.  Finding the time to post is a challenge right now, since I am baby sitting 2-4 kids every

 day  right now. Life is BUSY!!!   But we are having a great summer!  And the kids are growing fast... too fast!

Pirate Party!!

Ahoy, me matey!!!!  My little guy's birthday party was Saturday, and it was a Pirate Party!!!  Argg!  :)  He had a lot of fun.  Here are some photos from the party.

 

The piñata, that I made.  :)

Walk the PLANK!

I painted skulls and cross bones on the cups.

His cake, not made by me.

A GAME!

Even Parker (17 Months) had to play!  :)

Pinata time!

Some decorations!!

 

After those activities, it was time to swim!!!!  Well, it was for the kids.  It was too cold for me.  :)

Plumbing Work... No Thanks!

If you know me then you know that I am pretty athletic.  There isn’t a sport that I have tried that I haven’t been decent at.  I can throw and catch a football, play basketball, baseball, tennis, and run.  I play sports like a boy, well I use too.  But I still have it in me…. I think.  I’m not as fast I use to be, the days of running a mile in five minutes are long gone.  But I can usually hold my own, even at my ripe old age.  But I am not the type that can carry heavy things (nothing over 50 pounds), or dig holes… basically I am not a man.  Well for two days, that has been my life.  And let’s just say it sucks!  I never want to see another shovel as long as I live.  I have been digging up my backyard, thanks to my sewer pipe collapsing.  Great fun!  And not to mention the smell.  I already have a strong sense of smell, and the sewer smell is well gross!  And of course, it isn’t fixed yet.  Hopefully today or tomorrow it will be fixed and then I can fill my holes back in… great, more quality time with a shovel.  My poor hands!  More power to those that are plumbers or even married to a plumber, there is no way I could handle that!  So if there was any doubt in my mind about my calling, being a plumber isn't one of them! I'm really thankful that my dad is able to help me fix me.  I'm not sure what I would do without him.
