Ellie's New Smile

Ellie has a new smile these days and is breaking the tooth fairy.

Christmas in July?

We took a mini trip this past weekend to Holiday World.  We were lucky enough to be the highest bidder at the local school's fall festival auction for some tickets.  And, we were able to take Jamie's cousins, Macy Ruth and Mason, along for the fun.  As my hubby told me during the trip ... "It's a good thing they came because you are a 'park pooper'."  Yep, that's right, I do not ride roller coasters and the like.  Not. Interested. But, I love watch others do it.  We had a great time!  If you have never been, I would recommend it.  There are 2 parks in 1 - the amusement park and the water park.  There is plenty for the whole family - from the little ones to the big kids.  I was impressed with the cleanliness of the park.  And, there are free fountain drinks to help cool off.  Jamie is already planning on returning next year.  

summer

summer is...

Is it me, or is summer just passing by so quickly?  We are trying to cram as much fun and sun into all the summer we can stand.  So, our summer is...

lots and lots of sunscreen for the lake and the pool...

falling asleep after an afternoon of swimming with friends...

marking "park" off our summer list...

ballgames, sunflower seeds, and rooting for this guy, Jaxon...

and trying to keep up with kids at the ball park...

That has been our summer in a nutshell or at least through the lens of my cell phone camera, hence the picture quality.  

How are you enjoying your summer?

The Victory is Sweet

The Victory 93.7 T-Ball team brought home hardware with an undefeated T-Ball season!  All of the coaches and players have something to be proud of.  It was hard for Ellie and her favorite coach to hide their smiles from a great season!  A Victory is sweet!
