09/02/2009

I know I haven't been on for awhile but there really hasn't been anything new lately.... i could blog the same go-kart racing pictures that you've all seen a hundred times but that is only exciting to us after awhile. Hayley's softball is over and we haven't really done too much worth blogging about..... SO, here are a couple of recent pics.... Renee's new highlights for 7th grade and their first day of school pics...

Renee's first day of 7th grade....

Hayley's first day of 5th grade.....

Our little bit of paradise....

This is the time of year when I LOVE our place.... getting everything cleaned up from the winter, working on little projects, planting a little bit of flowers (because I am not a gardener at all)....and enjoying our back patio and pool. 

the views from my glider.... we (sean) will be clearing out the other side of our stairs to the river and cleaning up the river back hopefully this fall.....

my glider which needs to be cleaned and restained....next project....

another project is re-doing the deck to the new boards....all in due time....

Sports ~ 05/22/2009

Just wanted to share some sport pictures with you since this is what our summer will consist of.... some racing and some softball...

hayley and softball.

renee and racing......

Pontiac Route 66 Raceway....

her go kart looks the same as last year because sean wanted to concentrate on getting the kart working instead of making it look good...but she did get a new helmet that she is really excited about!!!  

A Hunting we will go!

Friday night Sean, Hayley and her bff Nicole went Morel Mushroom hunting down the road from our house along the river.  They came home with a dozen mushrooms and some extra finds.....

some of them were really big in size and I guess they're good to eat when you fry them up...i don't know because I don't eat mushrooms.

these are the extra finds they brought home... we cleaned up the skull and are going to hang it on the shed for both of them to enjoy....

I wonder what people driving down the road thought about these bones in our front yard, since that is where they were kept all weekend, by the road away from Josie's reach.... she would have thought them to be rawhides.

Cougars Game....4/25/09

We attempted the Cougars Game on Saturday night, we figured it would get rained out but made plans to go anyway. Hayley did the Ozzie Reading Club and got her free tickets, hot dog, pop and t-shirt....

every one trying to keep dry....we had to get away from the bleechers, (lighting)...

you can't see it but it was pouring..we decided to leave about 5:45, they hadn't called the game yet but we figured we'd go back up another day....we went for pizza, drove back by aroudn 7:00 and saw that everyone was gone...Rain Checks!!!! we also want to go to a Bandits Game this summer....

"Blackie"

Sean decided that he needed a new truck so here are a couple of pictures...

at the dealership....

at home...

Easter 2009

Coloring Easter eggs on Friday night,

Easter Morning checking out their baskets before finding eggs outside.

It was so nice to be able to hide eggs outside. We were able to hide them ALL over the yard from and back.

Hayley running to find more than her sister....always a competition.

Renee going back to check the watering cans..yes one was hidden in there.

As Hayley was looking for eggs by the playground she found this duck nesting in our yard..we'll have to keep checking on her and her eggs...we made sure to stay away from her after she was found.

After we hid eggs for the girls, Nicole and Erin came over and they made up teams and hid the eggs for each other, kept them occupied before we had to leave.

Saturday 04/04/09

hello all..i know i've been gone from the blogging world for awhile and i promised that i would update pictures from our vacation, (for those of you who did not know we went to the dominican-ellen):), anyway i haven't put pictures up here from there because you've seen them on my facebook. so to update my blog here are some of my fav pictures from the last week. 

hayley and josie fell asleep together on the couch early one night. josie loves sleeping with us on the couch.

renee went turkey hunting for the first time today (saturday 4/4/09) with eric and alec. it was youth weekend and i'm not sure who was more excited about going, all i know if renee talked about it all week. so 5:00 AM came and eric was here to pick her up. they went and got donuts and pop and set out to find their hunting spot. alec video taped their hunt.  (watch out The Great Outdoors you have competition). she saw a big turkey about 25 yards away, shot at it, (looked like she hit it they way it fell or flew) but they couldn't find it. so hopefully tomorrow will be another beautiful morning because they are planning on going again. (keep your fingers crossed that she gets one).

then we went out to our friends building so hayley could finally ride her new razor she got for her birthday outside...

she even let renee and i give it a try...it was fun!

03-26-2009

Well we're back from Punta Cana, Domincan Republic and I'm really glad that the sun was shining here today because I really miss the sun and heat already. I am truly sick and tired of winter weather..... I promise that I will upload pictures to my blog this weekend, right now I'm trying to get them uploaded to Walgreens and get some printed off, (I took WWWAAAAYYYY to many pictures, but they ARE different from last year). We had a great time, I drank enough rum punch for all you scrapbook ladies and my stomach is definately paying the price, (thank God for tums and immodium).   I'll be back soon with pics.
