Wow I Can Not Believe......

That I haven't been here to post anything since Jun. 3rd, How bad is that!!!

Summer seemed to fly by a little to fast here...
But we had a wonderful summer, we visited the beach, amusement parks, nature parks, family picnics, and so on. It was great spending the carefree days of summer relaxing spending time as a family without all the hustle and rushing....

The kids are all back in school now and things are finally settling down for us, at least until the activities and practices start back up and then we will be driving every which way trying to get this one here and that one there and still find time to sit down as a family to dinner.

A couple of picture of the first day of school....Which stared Sept. 5th around here.





of course there is none of the tall kid that lives in the house but he does not slow down long enough for me to be able to snap one, you know teenagers!

Found this on my friend Rachel's blog, and it looks like fun, so i'm going to do it too!!

Privacy Please.....Will it ever happen

All mothers can relate to this:

ATTENTION CHILDREN - THE BATHROOM DOOR IS CLOSED!
Please do not stand here and talk, whine, or ask questions.
Wait until I get out.
Yes, it is locked. I want it that way. It is not broken, and I am not trapped.
I know I have left it unlocked, and even open at times, since you were born, because I was afraid some horrible tragedy might occur while I was in there, but it’s been 10 years and I want some PRIVACY.
Do not ask me how long I will be. I will come out when I am done.
Do not bring the phone to the bathroom door.
Do not go running back to the phone yelling "She’s in the BATHROOM!"
Do not begin to fight as soon as I go in.
Do not stick your little fingers under the door and wiggle them. This was funny when you were two.
Do not slide pennies, LEGOs, or notes under the door. Even when you were two this got a little tiresome.
If you have followed me down the hall talking, and are still talking as you face this closed door, please turn around, walk away, and wait for me in another room. I will be glad to listen to you when I am done.
And yes, I still love you.
Mom

What a Weekend......

I have to say this has been one tiring weekend, it is Monday night at 8:45 and my kids are out like lights I don't think I could wake them up if I wanted to!

We had a full weekend on Saturday we had a birthday/picnic for Ashley and Logan and then on Sunday friends had us over for a small picnic and drinks and that was a late night we didn't arrive home till after 10:30 (You can tell I am a mom now because once upon a time I would never consider 10:30 late I would consider it just getting started) and on Monday our neighbors who are also friends had us over for a picnic and swimming.

I don't think I can look at another burger for awhile now...

Almost Forgot...about Rachel

Jen I knew you read my blog...[my sister]


And I had to post this picture to show you, remember when Rachel kept stealing licks of Logan lollipop at the Birthday Party and we all thought it was so cute!

By the looks of Logan's face in this picture it does not look like he thought it was cute at all..


Just joking we all know how much all the cousins love their baby cousin Rachel, I just thought the face was to cute...
He looks like he is saying Someone get this girl away from my pop!!

The things you catch on the camera!!

The Birthday Party!!

I am exhaust from the day but everyone had a good time, Ashley & Logan seemed to be happy with the party and loved their gifts..
Sharing some pictures of the day!


Ashley & Logan opening present...




Pinata time...





Birthday cake....

Ashley and Logan's Birthday was May 10th but because we had their First Communion on May 5th we decided to Celebrate their Birthday during Memorial day Weekend~
So I have been busy shopping and cleaning my house and the funny thing is after the party is over.......
I will be busy shopping and cleaning once again since all the gocery money went to buy party food and we can only eat party leftovers so long before the kids start saying their hungry and there is nothing to eat!!!
And with everyone coming in and out of the house all day the floors will need washing and so on....
But the nice thing is this is the last Birthday party till November in this house!!
We will probably have one or two small picnics during the summer but I consider them spur of the moment partys with just a few people, good food, drinks and laughing!

Baseball Season has begun......

Take me out to the ball game
Take me out to the crowd
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks
I don't care if I ever get back
And it's root, root, root
for the home team
If they don't win, it's a shame
Cause it's one, two, three strikes
You're out
At the old ball game.

Logan's taking a turn as Catcher~

Jake's turn to bat~


Logan take's off for 1st base~
