A Week of Fun with Abby! 6/10 - 6/18/09


Last week we got to have Abby at our house while her parents went to New York. We tried to make it fun so she would want to come again! Normally they would stay at Grandma Moss's house but they we're in Hawaii! Mikelle stayed with Jeff & Chanieca. So, we met up with cousins & headed to a splash pad - although I have no actual pictures of the splash pad!



Rigby & Ashlyn discussing some pretty important stuff & Caysen in the back sporting the flag shorts.




I had to include this photo because I just think it is so cute when Rigby puts his hands in his pockets!



While we were at the park a helicopter came & landed in the field & picked up some girls. The kids all climbed the rock for a better view & gave me a shot at some cute bums!

(Click on the picture for a closer view)
We even went miniature golfing! What an experience! Check out Olivia's poses! Lainee is not happy in one of the pictures because she couldn't hit the ball to the hole in one shot so she thought she wasn't very good! Rigby LOVED it! He talked about golfing for days!




We also went fishing one of the nights. Grandpa Moss brought hot dogs for us to roast. While we were fishing, 2 ducks swam right up to us & even ate out of the kids hands! That night we started the sleepover trade. We took all the kids the first night, Grandma Moss the second, and Chanieca the third night! It was a good trade! We piled all the kids into the car to head to our house - & they are all seat belted, ok some are sharing, but none the less they are seat belted!


This is what happens when the kids get a hold of the camera!
What a fun week! Thanks for staying with us Abby!

The WAR is on!!

Every summer no matter what I do, THEY come! THEY think THEY can come & take over but I will not allow it! The war over my tomato plants officially started today! While watering my garden I found the first one! And HE was BIG! HE had already eaten a few branches but a swift throw at my cinderblock wall did him in! SPLAT!! Yah take that! Then I proceeded to check for more and whatta ya know? I found 2 more little ones!

DEAD tomato worm count... 3! I will find you!!!

Running is SO overrated!

So I just started running last Friday with Karin Blunk. We did 2 miles with a bathroom break between miles - the break being for me not Karin! And after yesterdays run I got a blister! The run was hard & not enjoyable so why am I doing this? Because I love my husband & want to support him! He is doing the marathon this year & next month he is doing the Bryce Canyon half marathon SOOO I am signing up to do the ... 5K! Look at me getting all active! Hopefully by posting this I will actually follow through!
