The things we choose to wear...

Even when we don't have to!!

Poolside fun

 

We've had a cooler summer. Hope we can fit in a few more days at the pool!

Ready for Action!

The older two are playing fall baseball with a new team. They seem to have some great coaches, and they say the practices are, "the best ever, like MLB!"  Good to see them having fun. We bought some catcher's gear - he's ready to go! Looks like we will also have a pitcher/short stop. First game is next week.

Happy 5th Birthday, Anne!

Anne turned 5 on the 5th of this July. What a joyful little girl.  She of course loves Frozen, and loves swimming, playing dolls, and riding the EZ Roller with her neighbor friend.  I love when she opens her eyes so wide when she's excited or very interested in something, and her big blues shine through.  She plays well with kids her own age and those older & younger.  We spent the day around home and she wanted to have an Ariel party & cake, Pizza Hut, and swimming.  She got a cool new unicorn bike helmet, a new Ariel mermaid, books, clothes, and more.  It was a wonderful day to celebrate her.

It's been a while...

So Lissy is making me feel bad -- she's updated her blog.  Guess I need to get on it.  It's not that I don't think about it, it's just hard to find a free minute.  Always something else jumps in front of it, and then by evening, I'm just not ready to START on something after the kids are finally in bed (which in summer is pretty late these days).  Maybe I can set a goal to start updating --- I really don't want to let all the memories slip away, but sometimes it may happen.  We'll see.  I do have pictures, so maybe I'll start with that.

Cinderella and the Prince

Today Anne was asking to listen to music.  She asked to listen to the song Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman.  I was going to start it, but for a moment I blanked on who the artist was.  I said, "Who is that?"  Anne replied, "Cinderella, Mom."  I said, "Yes, I know, but who sings it?"  Her sure reply, "a prince."  Why wouldn't the song "Cinderella" be sung by a prince?

OK, so I have to admit I'm excited about this

So Leyton is slightly following in my footsteps!  He won the local free throw contest recently and gets to go on to districts.  He made 12 out of 15.  I may have actually been a little more excited than he was! Hee hee.
