Strep

Dear Strep Throat,

Thank you for your visit. Although I have enjoyed having my children sleep a few more hours. I have not enjoyed all the extra laundry, the running from one bathroom to another and just the nasty feel of having a infected home. I would also like to actually get ready for the day. For the past week I have not put on makeup or fixed my hair and now I have a fat pimple on my face. I blame that on you! I think it is time for you to leave.

Don't call us we will call you!

Darla

Down Syndrome of Louisville Buddy Walk 2009

Aubree and her friend Olivia collected donations for their friend Kendall who has Down Syndrome and in memory of Kendall's little brother Kallen who had Down Syndrome and sadly passed away almost two years ago. This is Aubree's second year collecting for her friend and Olivia has already asked if she can do it again next year. It warms my heart to see my child doing something for others. Our neighbors were so kind. For every donation she gave them a letter and a Kit Kat bar. The event was awesome and it was so fun to see all the supporters for our good friends. GO TEAM SPECIAL K! Can't wait until next year!

A full day of fishing

Our family went fishing for about 5 hours today! We have some friends who have a lake that is stocked with fish. The kids caught a ton of fish. It was great. Today was just a great bonding fun family day! I love days like today.

Softball

Aubs is playing fall ball. She is doing very well. It is so much fun to watch her. He brothers are her biggest fans. When she is up to bat you will often hear the boys yelling "go Aubree, you can do it". It is really cute!

Nature

Jamie almost ran this little guy over with his lawn mower. I think you are not supposed to touch them but it was pick it up or watch it get chopped up.

Just found...

I just found these pictures of me and Jamie being nothing less that us in a photo booth in California this past winter. WE ARE TWO DORKS WHO LOVE EACH OTHER!
