Take Me Out To the Ball Game . . .

We spend a lot of our nights out at the ball field. Geoff and I have both always been very into sports and hope Kelsey will be as well. This year Geoff is only playing on one baseball team (YAY!). This takes us to the ball field a couple times a week. Kelsey is usually very good at the games and I have learned that as long as we take plenty of snacks and a few toys, she will be just fine. This year we were lucky enough to have Geoff's friend Phil on the team! This meant another little boy for Kelsey to play with and someone for me to chat with as Phil's wife Christy and their little boy Logan are regulars at the games as well! Kelsey and Logan play VERY well together!! I made them some cute little matching shirts so everyone knows that they are cheering for the Bombers!!

Fun With The Leaders!!

Today Kelsey and I went to Carson's birthday party! We had a great timeand the weather really cooperated. The kids all had a great time and Kelsey and I were glad that we could spend the afternoon with them!! Happy Birthday, Carson!

Kelsey's Last Night of Track!

Tonight was Kelsey's last night of track!!!  We are so proud of her!!  She did a great job.  I was very excited to sign her up for South Lincoln Track Club.  When I was little that was something I always did!!  The program has been around for a very long time and is still very successful!!!  The director that was there when I participated is still there!!  He has a real passion for this track club and it really shows!!  Here are some pictures from Kelsey's last night.  They did a parade of champions and each child was given a medal.  After that she competed in the 50 yard dash.  We are very proud of how well she did!!

THANKS TO MATT, MEREDITH, LUKE AND GRANDPA FOR COMING OUT AND WATCHING KELSEY RUN!!

NOW ARE YOU READY FOR A GOOD LAUGH????

HERE ARE SOME PICTURES MY MOM DUG UP OF ME WHEN I WAS IN LITTLE GREEN!!  I AM NOT SURE WHO MADE ME PULL MY PANTS UP THAT HIGH!  YIKES!!  KELSEY LIKES LOOKING AT THESE PICTURES!!

Happy Father's Day!

Today turned out to be a great day! When we woke up it was storming and raining!! Seems like that is all it does anymore! However, it didn't last long! The clouds went away and it turned out to be a beautiful day!! We started the day by taking Kelsey to see Kung Fu Panda. She liked it and it was a pretty good movie. Then we had Matt, Meredith and Luke over for swimming and grilling! We had a good time!! Even Luke went for a little swim and seemed to enjoy it!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO MY DAD!!!

Weekend Fun!

As usual the weekend went way too fast!! You can tell summer is here because we are really busy! It seems that we always have something going on! This past weekend my sister and the boys came down for a visit! The first task was Saturday morning! We had Jenny come and take the kids pictures! We always try and get a decent picture of three of them but it is a difficult task. Kelsey and Isaac didn't mind having their pictures taken but Eli was a different story! I am sure Jenny got some good pictures (she always does)!! We are VERY excited to see how they turned out!! We spent the rest of the afternoon outside! It was very sticky! We didn't think the pool was quite warm enough to swim but the kids had a different idea. We first put them on the trampoline and put the sprinkler underneath it. After doing that for awhile, they wanted in the pool!! So it was time for the first swim of the season!! None of the adults wanted in since the water temp was only 79!! But the kids didn't seem to mind!! They had a GREAT time!! By Sunday the temperature was up to about 82 and my brother and mom joined the kids in the pool!! Now if it would ever stop raining we could all enjoy some time in the pool!

Finally on Sunday Matt and Meredith brought Luke over! It was their anniversary and they were going out to lunch. We were more than happy to keep him!! He is getting so big!! Kelsey was very excited to spend Sunday afternoon with all her cousins! Life couldn't be any better!!

Let's Go Fishing!

Over Memorial Day Weekend we took Kelsey fishing. It was a great day to be outside! I didn't know how Kelsey would feel about the fish but she did great!!! She was actually quite good at it!! She caught 5 different little fish! Each time she would reel them in, look at them and then was ready to try and catch another one!! She didn't want too touch them though! I can't blame her, I won't touch them either!! Next time we go I think we will take her out in the boat! She is our little fish and loves anything that involves water! I got some very cute pictures of our day at the lake!!

Autism Walk

One of my good friends from High School asked us to join them in the autism walk today. Her nephew Quartez has been diagnosed with Autism. We were happy to join them and had a great time!! Thank you, Stacy for asking us to walk with you! What a great cause!

THIS IS QUARTEZ! ISN'T HE CUTE??

Luke Came To Visit!!!

Last night Meredith brought Luke over! Kelsey just adores him (as do I)! We were so excited to see him! He was probably so sick of us holding him and me taking pictures!! But we had a great time and he is growing up so fast!!!

ISN'T HE CUTE?

KELSEY WAS READING HIM A BOOK! ADORABLE!
As an added bonus, here are some track pictures from Track. They had another "Run For Ribbons" night! This time Uncle Troy came and watched! Thanks, Troy!

One Last Goodbye!

Last night we said goodbye to our dear friends Mike and Michelle and of course their puppy Mo. We spent the evening feeding the geese, playing at the park and then went and had ice cream. I didn't want the night to end! They will be missed!!!! We were so lucky to have so many memories with them! It was so hard telling them goodbye and wish they could stay here. However, we know that they will love being closer to their family and wish them nothing but the best of luck in their next adventure!!!

MIKE, MICHELLE AND MO . . . WE WILL MISS YOU!!

Mother's Day Song!

I know this is a little late, but I still wanted to share!! Kelsey learned two very cute Mother's Day songs at daycare! She sang them both to me several times!! I only got one on tape but the other one is just as cute! She is such a sweetheart!!
