Take me out to the ball game

Our summer started swinging with the baseball bats. Jason coaches Emmitt's baseball team. And wow what a season it was!! The team did an amazing job this year. They ended the season with an 11-3 record, and in 1st place in the leauge!!! Enjoy a few more photos of my boys.

Have you ever seen a cuter catcher?

And here is Coach Jason with his boys

I am so glad this season is done we finished with just a little drama from other coaches and their ego's. So now fall ball starts for the school team in August. Ahhh baseball!!!

Do you remember me????

I know it's been way to long!!! Enough already get off my back I'm here now.
I saw a friend the other day at an event in our town (you know who you are) and she told me she had a message for me from her family ( if you know this family you would be so excited to get said message because they are so awesome and to know that anyone of them would want to give me message just about did me in. I was chomping at the bit to get this message) So I smiled huge and said, "really what is it they want to tell me" And then she tells me that they say "to update your blog"
So here's to you my dear friends and all others who have missed me. I will be posting things that we have been up to this summer and what has kept me from posting. In no particular order!!

Twitterpated

I need some help here. I need everyone to leave comments on this post.
Will you PLEASE tell me what all the hype is about Twitter? I have had several friends ask me if I tweet. I do have a Facebook account and seem to enjoy it. I have this blog and seem to enjoy it. Do I really need another thing to keep up to date with my friends? And if I do why is Twitter any better than Facebook or a blog?

This one's for you Katy

My friend Katy posted on her blog that her bike was stolen. I thought of you Katy when I saw this.

Face lift

So I thought maybe the reason I haven't been posting lately is because I hated going on to my blog because of the pictures of the cold winter. So now that the weather is more beautiful now days I thought it was time for a face lift. So what do ya think? I am still looking for a background to use, so for now it will have to be pool water, but who doesn't like clean clear beautiful pool water anyway so maybe I'll just leave it. Only about 2 weeks till school is out and the kids will be home and we will be having some fun.
Baseball already started so stay tuned for pictures.
Till then.

Taylor Swift Concert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(sorry I got a little carried away)

The concert was Saturday and I am only getting around to posting this because I have been struggling with how to post this to give it the justice it deserves. You see the concert was Aaaamaaazing(amazing), and I don't even like concerts. I feel I don't have the ability to express my feelings in words to help you understand how wonderful it really was.

So I decided I won't even try to be witty I'll just show pictures and explain what was going on in the picture.

Here is a picture of Constance in the hotel room, she asked me to do her hair like Taylor's, all curls.

This is a picture of the both of us in our seats. And NO that is not a double chin on me it's just a really strange shadow!!! What?! would I lie to you?

Kelly Pickler opened. She is such a cute girl. And she had some pretty awesome shoes, sorry I didn't get a good picture of them.

This is Constance wishing Taylor would come on stage!!!

This is how she made her grand entrance. (brave, brave girl) the song was "you belong with me"

Showing off her vocal cords.

This is her "Love story" dress until.......

She gets to part in the song where it says, "I talked to your Dad go pick out a white dress" then all of a sudden she's in this dress. Amazing!!!

This is during the song "Tell Me Why"

"Picture to burn".

It really was a great concert, but I have to admit that the best part was watching Constance sing her heart out along with every song and having the time of her life.

I love you Constance, thanks for a great night and even better memories!!

I got my prize

Jamie gave me some pretty awsome ear rings she made all by herself. Just for commenting on her blog. I have such great friends.
I guess I need to be a good friend now and make the gifts for those who wanted a gift from me. I have an idea I am sure they will love. I just need to take the time to get them done so watch the mail friends it will be coming soon!!
Thanks again Jamie I really do love them.

Temples

I love being a Mormon and love the temple I thought you might find this informative. Especially now that it seems we are under a microscope. Click here

Meet me in St. Louie

Warning, Warning... Lots of pictures!!!

Last weekend we took a much needed family get away. We loaded up the kids Friday night and were off. The kids were upset with us that we didn't get to a hotel earlier so that they could swim. They got over it the next morning when we took them here. (Click here to learn more about this place.)

All I could say while we were there was wow!!! The kids kept saying, "Thank you guys so much this is awesome!!!" Then they would say, "I would even pay $200 to come here again". So let me bore you with some pictures of our amazing day.

Here are Emmitt and Constance ready to start the day.

This is an airplane that is about seven stories in the air that the kids can climb up to. I will show better pictures later.

The first thing we did when we got in was go to the aquarium. It was great, there were many tanks that you could put your hands in and touch the fish. This picture is of Emmitt being attacked by the "Dr. Fish". When you put your hand in they attack it and eat all the dead skin. It feels like little suction cups all over your hands.

Next on the agenda was a zip down the 7 story slide. The only problem was walking up to the top of the seven story slide. But what a ride it was.

After our stomachs got back to normal after that slide we went outside to enjoy the beautiful 75 degrees. This is a picture of some of the crazy jungle gym stuff.

This shows kids climbing from the Air plane to another part of the the jungle gym.

Here are Emmitt Constance and Jason climbing in the "tube" from the plane. NO I didn't get up there!!!!!!

Another picture from a different angle.

What I liked most about the museum is all the random pieces of architecture.

Ahh what a great day!!!

Happiness

Seeing this in my yard makes me happy.
