Let's try this again!

It's been a long time so I will start again...

Busy Busy Busy

The summer has been so busy around here!! C was a JR Lifeguard this summer. C also had Boy Scout Camp. While at camp L and I had VBS. I was the crew leader for 3 year olds! Then both kids had music camp. It is a week long camp at our church.
Tonight there are some of the Boy Scouts over working on their Personal Fitness merit badge. It is one that is required for the rank of Eagle. Still hoping that C will achieve Eagle in the next year! He has a few merit badges left and his project to complete. I can't wait either!!
School begins Wednesday!! Yippee!!!

Summertime

The summer is well underway and has it ever been busy!! First of all I haven't had my computer running since the end of May. So I am soooo happy to have it back again!!
C is working as a Jr. Lifeguard this summer he loves it!! He went to Boy Scout camp in June and while he was at camp L and I went to Vacation Bible School. Now next week is music camp for both kiddos. What will I ever do with all of that time!! Today I am going to finally get our plane tickets for our cruise in August. Can't wait to go. There have been some really stressful times in our house lately. We had already committed to the cruise before the poop hit the fan so we are kind of stuck going. But it will be nice to get away alone together for a weekend.
L is doing the summer session of Hip Hop this summer. She has a different teacher and really likes him. He is so hyper!!
Speaking of which it is time to chase them out of the pool and get ready for dance class. Don't worry I can see them out through the arcadia door to the pool. It is an above ground that is only 18' accross and 4' deep. They both can reach no problem. I also have to take home L's best friend on our way too!!

Disney weekend!

This past weekend C's band traveled to California for a cpmpetition & then to Disneyland. They received a GOLD for their performance. We have great friends that live in California so C and I crashed there. I left right after taking the kids to school on Friday & C went on the bus with the band. On the way there I had to stop in Palm Springs at the outlet mall. Only went to 1 store! I have wanted a Coach purse FOREVER. But, can't bring myself to spen that kind of money so I went to the outlet store. I got myself a purse and wallet and even found a cute pink purse for L. And all 3 only cost $150 with tax!! Cheaper than the 1 purse alone!! This is C with his girlfriend E at the competition!!
Can you see him?? This is the band marching in the competition!
C & Mommy at Disneyland!!
These are some of our friends. Their oldest daughter broke her leg jumping off a roof. So she was able to go through Disneyland in a wheelchair. Which also gave us head of the line privelages. only these 3 came with us. The wife had to work and the 2 brothers had commitments to drum and bugle core. I was so glad that the daughters and hubby could come share the day with us.
This is C with the oldest daughter. Aren't they so cute together!! They are only 6 months apart and get a long so great!! They have so much fun when they are together!!

Wrestling!!

I just love this picture!! I had my nephew with at C's wrestling match. They just love each other so much!!

Weekend was busy!!

Sorry can't get this to go where I want it to. This is C with Phil Vassar at Country Thunder!! This is L with Phil Vassar at Country Thunder. Her and I went to the VIP section for his concert. He touched her had 3 times!! The last time was during "Another Day in Paradise" and he hled her had for awhile and sang to her. She was up on the jumbo tron.
C won 1st place in his schools Science Fair! At the award assembly he got a nice certificate as well as a trophy. That is his project behind him!

Last weekend was sooo busy!! There was Country Thunder. Which is 4 days of concerts!! Thurday we went out there (which is 45 minutes away) after C wrestling match. He won 2 out of 3!!! Then Friday we had to come back into town for the kids to go to school. After school it was time to go back out there. Saturday morning we came back to town again because the kids and I had plans. C had lifeguard training, L Brownie event, and I went to the Women's Expo with my sis! After we went back out and stayed there until Monday morning!

Lysney and I will Billy Ray Cyrus!! We also went in the VIP section to watch his concert!!

This is how close we were for his concert!! There is a catwalk down the middle and we were right up against it!!

Not been here in awhile

L got a new bike since finally learning how to ride without training wheels!
Today at Kids Club the Reptile Man was there. This is H with a 13 year old rhinocerous iguana. He also got to pet it after. He loved the lizards and snakes that were there!

Isn't she sweet??? H NEVER rides on the animals on the carousel only on the bench.

I got him to ride the giraffe on the new Double Decker carousel!

I know I know. I haven't been here in quite some time. The days just go by so quickly. C is doing much better this quarter so we allowed him to wrestle. Unfortunatley it isn't quite enough. He became ineligable to wrestle in todays meet due to his math grade falling below a C. And his coach has told him to go and talk to his teacher to see about extra work or something because since this is AIMS testing week there really hasn't been any gradeable work to be able to raise his grade with. If not then he was told to go and talk to coach and he would try. This week hasn't been very happy. My brother and sister in law were expecting a baby boy. At 20 weeks she started having contractions and became fully dialated so she had to deliver him. He didn't make it though. The kids were really upset that they aren't going to have a new baby cousin. Meanwhile I have been busy this week with my 2 1/2 year old nephew. Hope to write more often!!

Weekend

This weekend was pretty good. Actually didn't have anything planned. Saturday we hung out at the house and then met my Mom for lunch and headed to the mall. L talked Grandma into taking C home with her so that she could have a friend spend the night. C had to acolyte in church early this morning and I didn't want to have to get an extra up early. Today I went to a neat book store. Couldn't find what I was looking for me but I did pick up 3 books for L. When I got home we walked with the girls up to Jack in the Box for lunch and then to Supstition Harley just to look around. It is the beginning of Bike Week so there was a lot of people there. Then I picked up C and needed to get to evening church early. He is finally working on his Religious Emblem for Boy Scouts. He has to do this with a pastor. He doesn't feel comfortable with ours so he has decided that he wanted to do it with the pastor that had been teaching at a baptist church we go to in the evenings. Kind of funny though since this pastor was my boyfriend when I had met my husband! Talk about weird!! I am just thankful that he found someone to do this with. The week ahead already looks busy!
