Beach Trip & going to be an Aunt - again!

We had a girls weekend Friday - Sunday at sheris place in Pirate Land. We had a great time eating, laying out and shopping.

The kids also did good for Heath. They spent the night with my parents Friday night so he got lucky but then he had to take them to two birthday parties alone on Saturday. We went to church Sunday night then the kids went and spent the night with my parents again so they didn't miss me to much. My brother ( yes, I have a brother) called last night to tell me that I was going to be an aunt again. My nephew will be two in August so I kind of figured it was going to happen soon. We are hoping for a girl but another boy would be okay as well. She is only around six weeks they think so we have a long ways to go.

motorcycle & exciting day

I am not really sure if this would be considered a midlife crisis or what. My dad bought a little honda just to mess around on. He says after he is comfortable on this one he is going to sale it and get something bigger. All the men in our church keep getting bikes so I guess they finally talked him into it. This is definetly something I never thought I would see.

Dressing barbies and taking pictures of them is one way we stay busy during the hot hours when I refuse to play outside. We also attempted to make brownies this week we had all the ingredients in the bowl except eggs and when I went to get them out of the refrigerator I realized we didn't have any so we just ate the peanut butter bites out of the brownie mix. We have such exciting lives, lol! I am going to the beach for a girls weekend! Hope everyone else has a great weekend.

V.B.S.

We finished v.b.s. last night and the kids had a really great week. We had around 80 kids each night. Tuesday night was splash night and we had pools, slides and sno cones. Thats the only thing I managed to get pictures of. I forgot my camera last night when they got their certificates.

Swimming Lessons

The kids took swimming lessons at the rec. dept. last week. Brooke did very well because she had a great teacher. Brady did not do so well because he had a guy teacher who was to busy flirting with the girls working there and doing back flips in the water to teach Brady how to swim. Brady did jump off the diving board but he has no fear. Brooke said there was no way she was jumping off. We have Vacation Bible School this week and after two night already things are going good & the kids are having fun.

Ball team party & buzz cut

Friday night we went to Satos with all my family since my brother and his family came up for the weekend. Saturday Brooke had her baseball team pool party and she got her trophy. We also had Toris party at wateree gymnastics and Graces party at the church so we had a very busy but fun day. Today while I was at work Brady called and asked me if he could shave his head or get a mohawk. I told him no way it will look silly and he said I want to look silly. Well, my dad talked me into letting him take him to get a buzz cut. He is so proud of his new do but I am definetly making him grow it back out. Last night didn't go so well with them staying at my parents. Brady stayed up till after 10 and Brooke until after 11 then they were both up off and on all night and got up at 8. Well Brooke never gets up before 9 during summer so I am not sure my mom is gonna let them stay every Sunday night after all. They are exhausted and start swim lessons this evening so I hope they can hang that long without crashing. Oh, Brookes choir also sang for fathers day. Not the best picture since she was right behind the microphone.

My babies daddy!

This morning we had donuts for dads at church then we went to San Jose for lunch. After lunch we went to see Heaths dad. Then back to church and after dinner this evening the kids went to spend the night with my parents again. For fathers day the kids got Heath clothes. They were so proud giving it to him. They made me put it in two gift bags so they both could give him one. He acted so excited and suprised over clothes just because they were so excited and proud. He is a really great dad and husband. We are so blessed to have him. Hope everyone had a great day!

They finally did it!

Both the kids wanted to spend the night with my parents last night. I guess after staying with Sheri Saturday night Brooke decided it was alright. My mom came to get Brooke last night and Brady decided he wanted to go to. She said they both fell asleep at 10pm last night and slept until 8am & the phone rang and woke them up. Heath and I went on a date to Sonic to get Reeses Blasts at 8:30pm last night. It was really nice to not have any noise coming from the backseat, lol! Anyways, on a sad note my mom called me this morning and asked me to walk up to my sisters house because she had just found out her really good friend Mary Cathryns ex-boyfriend killed himself last night. I had to take my sister to meet my dad & Mary Cathryn at the church this morning. Luckily my dad got the opportunity to talk to Rob a few weeks ago for over four hours and he got saved. My sister had been talking with him alot lately as well as he had been dealing with some issues. She said he asked her about heaven sunday night but never once did she think he was suicidal. Please pray for his family. They live in Northeast Columbia. His name was Rob Cash and he was only thirty one years old. My heart broke for Mary Cathryn when I saw her this morning. I pray that she will come to know the Lord as her personal savior thru all of this. Thanks for your prayers!

My daddy

We took pictures at church today for a slide show they do for fathers days with all the dads with their children. Ofcourse my brother couldn't be here but since most of you didn't realize I even had a brother until I started this blog its alright. Anyways, I love this man and I am so thankful for him.

Cheerleading Camp

Brooke and her three little friends had a great time at cheerleading camp this past week.

She also spent the night with Sherri saturday night which was a first. I really thought I would be going to pick her up at midnight but she did great. I think because Sherri had another little girl named Brooke staying with her that helped. It was really hard letting her stay because I guess I kind of liked the idea that she wouldn't spend the night off. It took me forever to fall asleep saturday night but she told me she never got scared. Anyways, Hope everyone has a great week.

Swimming & Baseball

Friday was the last day of school, yay!!! They got out at 11:15 and my parents picked Brooke up and took them fishing at the lake while I worked. They both caught a small fish but I have no pictures because my mom likes to video tape everything instead. Friday night and saturday afternoon we went Sherris parents and ate and swam. Brooke finally jumped off the diving board for the first time. Brady jumped off the side of the pool but was not ready for the diving board. Saturday morning was the last baseball game as well. They didn't win but Brooke hit all three times. She played against Ashley and they are both #5. They had a sweet team with great coaches this year. She will definetly play again next year. Saturday after church she had her friend Colbys b'day party. It was a busy but fun weekend. She and four of her friends have cheerleading camp this week at Camden High School. I will definetly post some of those pictures tommorrow when they show us what they have learned. Hope everyone has a great summer. Enjoy spending time with your kiddos!

Memorial Day

Our friends Austin & Debbie took my family out on the lake in their boat on memorial day.

Brooke loved riding in the tube and swimming. Brady enjoyed sitting in the tube but that was it.
