July 2009

Boy it has been awhile sense I have posted something here. So here it goes. This is just some of the stuff we have done or had happen to us this month.

First we had a great fourth of July. So I just posted a few pictures from that day. Then of course as most of you know there was a flag football league this year. Most of the games were great and ran smooth. Brent and Austin played really well along with the rest of the team. Brent hit a speed bump with about three games left of the season. He did some thing to his hamstring. So I posted a picture of his huge bruise. Glad to say he seems to be doing pretty well now but he was in some pain for awhile.

Now onto Cael. On the 12th of this month we were at my parents house having a BBQ. Austin and Cael were racing on a couple of different things. Cael riding a big wheel and Austin on a cart that you peddle. Well the race didnt go so well. Cael fell off and Austin ran into him. The hand brake on the cart fish hooked Cael's left cheek and we spent hours in the ER. He got a couple of stiches and was on pain meds for a few days. Poor kid. But he did great. Didn't cry at all at the hospital. Even with the needles.

Then Brent had a teachers training in Las Vegas. I was able to tag along. It was great to spend time with Chris, Erin, thier kids and my best friend Brent. I truely missed my kids. Thank you all that helped out with them while we were gone. Erin took me to Retro Bakery that I found on bakerella.com. She had very yummy and pretty cupcakes. We walked the strip in 111* weather, ate way to much and went to the movies with Chris and Erin. All in all a fun trip.

Lastly Courtney was able to take a safety sitter class. She loved it. Learned a lot including CPR. So proud of her. She is growing up to be a really good girl.

Anyways hope all is well with you all.

Oregon Coast Trip 2009

This year for our family vacation we rented a home in Sea Side, Oregon. We loved it and only wish it was longer. Loved the fact that the Chad Cole family, Jeff, Lili, Emma and Nate Cole could go along with us. Now to save up and do it all over again. It was so worth it. Cason really didnt want to leave. He even told a joke the last day. "Cason: Knock, knock. Me: who's there. Cason: Cason. Me: Cason who? Cason: Cason the little boy that doesnt want to leave the beach and his beach house." Anyways here are some of the few pictures we took.

Shoe Party

Just a reminder:

Lili and I are having a shoe party this Thursday night at 6:30 til about 8:00 ish.

(For those women going to the game this night, you should be able to do both.)

We will be having it at Lili's house.

We will also be serving a light dinner and many laughs.

Remember bring a friend and be entered into a drawing for a free pair of shoes.

If you would like to preview the shoes you can go to the website, shown on the shopping bag above.

Anyways hope to see you all there. Should be alot of fun.

Frig Art 102

Cason's vision of the big foot with green moss all over his fur. They watched a program with thier dad and big brother on big foot. This is one that lives in the south. :)

This picutre is one of my favorites of his.
I love Cael pictures. He doesn't just draw sticks figures. He gives us all meat on our bones, but only three fingers. Brent is working on him with this. Plus all of his art work is with love for mom.

Cason has listened to Brent and has given himself five fingers. He is superman in this picture.

So I thought I would tell you all a little some thing about our Frig Art 102. We have always had kids that like to draw. But they don't get this talent from me. Some kids like to color but ours really are not into coloring books. Now give them a pen and blank paper and they go to town. It can totally keep them busy for a really long time. I love it. Added bonus for the twins is they love to put thier art work on the frig for all to see. I really should buy a binder to keep some of it for when they grow up. OR MAYBE A BIGGER FRIG. Hope you all enjoyed our little art show. Some times I am really touched by it. Really some times when I walk by my frig it grabs me. But I reallly do enjoy they happiness they get from it. Who knows maybe someday they will make money from it.

Girls Dance, Graduation, Cael

Ok so I posted picuters of the twins dance so here are some of the girls.
Courtney has come a long way with her dance. I love to watch her. I hope she stays with it.
She even gets a lift this year.
You can just tell Cara is meant to be on stage.
I just love the energy she gives off. That is Brooklyn right next to her. What a fun couple of Chicky Dees they are.

I put Brent in Charge of taking pictures of graduation while I video taped. To be fair to Brent our Camera doesn't take very good pictures in doors. So here are some after pictures.

This is Cason with Miss Candace. They just loved her. She found Cason real funny.
Cael and Miss Candace
The end of a great year. Warden School District here they come. Ready or not. Or should I say Beware! I love those two. Will be really quite at home with out them next year.
Ok these three pictures I just had to share. Cael is so funny. You can find him on any given day riding his bike or in their hummer. Cael is really into being in the right gear. This is one of the great looks. You cant see his snow boots.

This one is my FAVORITE!!! I almost want to put this one in the fair. But will probably only share it with my friends and family online.

Giggle. That is all I have to say. Thanks Erin for the heads up on this one. I so can't wait until November!!!

Great Surprise

What a great surprise. My friend Melanie took some pictures of my twins this past weekend at their spring fest performance and sent them my way. They did such a great job.

The crowd really got into it.

It was cute to see the boys get into their dance moves.

I have video and some pictures of the girls. I will try to get those up soon.

Anyways thank you so much Mel. It really made my day.
