Punky Brewster number one.
Punky Brewster number two. I really should have actually looked at Emmie before she went out the door. The first time I actually looked at her clothes was around lunch time-this is what I saw. This is what I have to learn to live with when they dress themselves. Oh well, she loved it and was happy so I guess I am too!!! (thank heavens she didn't go anywhere except to the neighbors!)
Messes from your's truly!
And...another one. This was done while playing in the gutter after the rain.
I had to show it again. Yes-just to give justice to my destroyer-mind you that these clothes were all clean laying on my couch. I know, I know-I am the lame brain leaving them there for her to get into, but I guess I just didn't think she would go this far. Little did I know.
Here we are! Back again with water trouble. As we are still in the LONG process of finishing the basement, I found some water in the crawl space. So here is Cam, digging a 3 foot hole in our front yard, trying to find the source. After much mud and digging, Cam found out that the smarty pants who installed the sprinkler system (the previous owner) didn't properly seal an electricity wire running through the crawl space and into the garage. We still can't figure out why he decided to run it through the house in the first place. So frustrating!
Here is what I found. I was cleaning out the crawl space for Cam to frame (that is going to be the playroom) and I noticed that the insulation was dark black. I thought it was mold, but Cam found out it was mud. SO all the carpet was wet but luckily it was just a carpet remnant that we had laid and I think we found it before too long. I swear-water problems follow us where ever we go!!!!!
Kaylee did a little race down at BYU. It was a one miler and she did really well. I think she took 9th or 8th.
This was one of her stretches before. I was laughing so hard-she was so nervous and was really feeling pretty cool when she did her splits in front of everyone-and then she pulled this one out. I love it!!
She was about 3/4 of the way done when this shot was taken. She really tried her best to "pace" herself and then keep her spot. Only one little girl passed her near the end.
Not too bad of a time as she crosses the line to give "Cosmo" five. It is not too accurate of a time though-the runner leading their age group took a wrong turn and then had them go back and repeat the whole thing again! Oh well, what she didn't know didn't hurt her.
Then we went to the kids favorite place, "Brick Oven" and celebrated her great race with some yummy food and our favorite cookie and ice cream dessert! Yummy!!
One of my moms favorite things to do is go up to South Fork and play. We went up there for her birthday and had so much fun. We played a softball game with grandpa as the pitcher.Aubree and Casey (Amy's oldest two)going at it like usual-deciding who gets to bat next.
Look out, heavy hitter-(Aubree)
Buddy and mandy moo. (Amy's 2nd and 4th)
I coudn't stop taking picture of the sunset while we were there.
The leaves were in perfect colors the night we went. This pic doesn't give it full justice-it was beautiful!
Here is Kaylee with her "hard grounder to first".
Emmie with her amazing hitting form. Grandpa has to keep telling her to get her bat back and off her shoulder-I can remember his saying those exact things to me!
Here is the windup!! He will do all this fancy windup and then out of the blue comes the ball from behind his back or with the other hand that you weren't expecting. Its pretty funny.
The first base coach giving his "runner" the play info.
If you can't tell, he has his "first base player" in his arms and they made it to home.
"Look at me, I've got my 'papa' wrapped around my finger!"
After and before dinner and the softball game, the kids played in the river-it was cold but they had a blast! It was low enough that they could walk all over and make little paths with rocks.
Could we live in a more beautiful place?
Grandpa's always watching his little "squirrels" as he calls them.
Landon (Amy's baby)looking in a Christmas ball. I thought this was so cute of him!!!
