Football Homecoming!!!

Although all the soccer games were canceled for the day due to all the rain we have recieved lately, we still play FOOTBALL!!!!

Today was homecoming & although we lost 14-20....AJ scored his first TD.

Avery's first soccer game!!!

So we "finally" got to play Avery's first soccer game....she is so excited!





She was all over that field. She even almost had a goal..she was sooo close!






She hustled the whole time & literally ran circles around everyone....she not so much for the tight grouping when a soccer ball is in play....she always ran way around the crowd of players...:)

Macey's new number.....

As crazy & hectic as life is here....we have found several occasions where an extra phone would come in handy. After chatting all summer about this, our oldest now has a cell phone.



Beware! This phone is on our family plan & she has unlimited texting!!! Lol!!!

Painting bug....

So I recently visited my friend, Taryn who does crazy timing of painting. One of the first times we did anything together, it was painting her living room. The story goes something like this:
She was hosting bunko & the night before, she calls me at 6pm & wants to know if I wanted to come help. I said sure & I would be over about 7pm. Needless to say, we were up late (3ish?) & were able to finish with the help of her niece, Robyn. I knew then that we were gonna become great friends....



Sooo, we are having a couple of fmilies over for fajatas & poppers. We purchase the paint at 3pm, people are due to arrive at 5pm....yep, I got one coat on before dinner.



I finished up with the second coat on Sunday night.
My beautiful red pantry door...

First Rememorable Airplane Ride

So we are sitting at the gate waiting for our plane to board...somehow, Avery was under the impression that we got our own plane, not our own seat.



The 2 of them are quite excited about this as neither remember their "real" first flight. AJ was 2yrs old & Avery Grace was just 3 mo old when we flew to Virigina for Donny & Julie's wedding.
We are loaded & ready to go...10 minutes behind already....

Camp Deer Run

We just dropped Macey & Leah off at church camp. They are in cabin 3 this year. This is their first church camp with our church, Eastridge Church of Christ.


This is a picture of their cabin. The camp grounds are really nice with only the dining hall being air conditioned. We stopped at a super-walmart on the way out to buy a fan for their bed space & a mini-fan to carry with them...



They are really excited about camp. I'm sure they will have tons of fun!

Chillin' in ABQ

So I'm staying with my friend, Taryn for a few days to get some scrapbooking done. She had a card stamp camp last nigh & for the first time I got to be a customer, instead of the demonstrator! It was so much fun! We made 25 cards & the are absolutely too cute!!!

They have recently adopted 2 kittens, Lynx & Mustachio. Adventurous as kittens are, I have found them sleeping in some unusal places....
