Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween. I really look forward to the neighborhood party tonight. Cookouts and hayrides and kids galore. Lovin it.
Happy Birthday to Beth! I can't believe she is 20!!! No way!
Congratulations Mel on finishing the first week of training. It sucks but will get better, I promise! Have a great weekend everyone!

I'm with you!

Okay, Mel. I'm joining you. I know you will personally come over and slap me if I say I'm "fat" but I now officially weigh 30 lbs more than I did last year at this time. I just admitted it and that feels better already. I still walk/run 3-4 times a week. But only a couple of miles. A year ago I would RUN 4-5 miles almost everyday. And of course (cough) some eating and drinking habits have gotten out of control. I have run the LR half-marathon 3 times under 2 hours and by god I will do it again! Thanks for the inspiration to completely embarrass myself on my blog. You rock Mel.

Crazy Casey

Today is Casey's last game. She swears she doesn't want to play anymore soccer and that breaks my heart. Maybe she'll change her mind. I took this picture at yesterday's game. I think it shows how fearless she is. She gets right in there and plays so good. I hope after a break she'll stay in the game.

Happy Birthday Casey

Happy Birthday to my Boo Boo! She turns the big 9 today. I can't believe it has been 9 years!!!

Weekend plans

We're headed in for another fun filled weekend of kid activities. What are you doing? We hope to squeeze the Fair in sometime between Casey's camping trip, Connor's birthday party and then Cotillion, and the air show that Blake is taking his buggy to. And sometime in there I hope to squeeze in working out and cleaning up this place. Casey will be 9 on Monday (wow) and we have her party next week as well. I'm just glad she has no soccer practice or game this weekend (we needed a break from getting our butts stomped). Have a great weekend!

Hey, I'm back!

I know I have been lazzzy posting lately. There's been a lot going on. Sortof. For starters Casey got glasses. Yeah, this time the teacher was right when she said she couldn't see the board. The awesome Mom I am has a picture of the glasses but not one with Casey in them. She is very nearsighted and has to wear them pretty much all the time. I think she was inspired a little by Mel when she picked these glasses out! I guess then we've just been busy with soccer (no wins yet) and other stuff going on. Casey will be 9 next monday, getting ready for that is chore enough since we're doing a costume party here for all the little girls in her class. Can't wait.
