Part 2

Raider swimming....

Dallas was lifeguarding. (I thought this picture was funny because it looks like she is standing on his back!)


JON!!!!


Brady? What are you doing over there? (Like girls, it appears boys can't go to the bathroom alone. At least girls don't go in public though!)

That about all for now. We have VBS this week. I am worn out! I love being in the nursery, but Wednesday is a hard day for the little ones, and for the adults taking care of them.

Silly Family

I had a great idea for a picture of the 3 of us. We all laid down with our heads together and Jon was going to take the picture. After half a dozen tries, this was the best one. And the only one with all of our heads in the shot! So of course, Brady would have his finger in his eye!

So then I kicked Brady out and gave him the camera. How cute are we! So in love!


And naturally, you can't have a family picture without including Dallas. She sure loves her mom!


*** For some reason, I can't load more than 3 pictures at a time tonight! Tomorrow I will post pictures from our walk on Sunday! ***

It's Me!

Last week I bought some CUTE new shoes, a shirt, and some jewelry. Sunday I felt so cute, I let Jon take a few pictures before I changed into my typical shorts and t-shirt. Blogger is being difficult, so I only loaded 3 of the 5-6 pictures.

I loved this one! Jon wasn't giving me time to do my fake smile, so I was just being silly.

Ummm, Jon? Where is my face? (I guess he was getting a shot of the necklace!)


Check out the shoes! And the nice tan!

By the Way

They won!

The 2nd Game of the Season

Brady and Gage. Notice a little difference in sizes? Gage is going into 1st grade. Brady will be a 3rd grader. (And they are both expected to hit from the same pitching machine!)

Silly guy throwing the ball while they wait for the first game to finish.


He just never seems to enjoy me taking his picture! (He sure looks tall when I'm sitting down)


Brady's on deck!

Part 2

Jon pitched to Braden's team today. They usually have a pitching machine, but it broke during the earlier game. Here he is "pitching" to Brady. (The mound in this league is really close!)

Brady at the bat. (check out the new batting gloves!)


On first with Coach Etter.


A shot through the fence of Jon pitching and Brady on first.

(He doesn't look like he's ready to run. Does he?)


He was out at second, but he came into the dugout smiling!


*** On a side note, you may have noticed that I referred to Braden as "Brady." He informed me tonight at dinner that he would like to be called Brady now. We'll see how long this lasts. He was only Josh Klinker for a few hours! ***

Our Saturday

Sorry I've been a bad blogger this past week. I have several reasons for my lack of posts:
1. I had finals last week
2. It's just been too hot to do anything but complain about the heat.
3. On Wednesday, my grandpa cut his finger off while sawing. Jon & I were in charge of cleaning up the crime scene while he was taken to Columbus for surgery.
4. I've discovered Myspace.com and have been working on a web page there.
5. Braden finished 2nd grade this week, so..........

Here is an update on our Saturday: Braden had his first baseball game of the season. They were slaughtered! He played first base the entire game, made a few outs, hit on each of his at bats, and was totally gross by the end of the game! But he was smiling!


Later in the afternoon was the Peony Parade. Here is 1st UMC's vacation bible school float. This year's theme is "Avalanche Ranch."


Braden walked in the parade with some friends and passed out VBS goodies.


Dallas and Aubrie watched the parade together. Aubrie REALLY needs a dog of her very own. Don't you think?


And now that summer has arrived, this is where Raider can be found. He lays as close to his fan as he can get. We've even had to yell at him a few times for licking it! We are considering having him shaved. We ran into a lady that works at the vet's office and she said it would be good for him. (His hair has been clogging the vacuum!)
