A quickie before vacation

We leave this morning for vacation, but I had a few pictures I wanted to post before then. Wednesday we got Drew's youth football equipment from Vassar so here are some pics of him in all his gear!!! He also dressed "G" up...LOL.

Wednesday night, Adam had his last league game in fast pitch. I had taken my camera there to show him Drew's pictures. They won both their games which made them the champs in their league. Here is their team pic that I took since I had my camera.

Adam is bottom second from left.

Also, I wanted to let all of you know that I checked my e-mails this morning in between packing and saw 1 from my aunt and uncle titled "It's a girl." Knowing that they had been unsuccessful in conceiving a baby after many years of trying, they adopted my cousin from South Korea. He is 3, I do believe. They have had him for about 2 and a half years now. Well they found out awhile ago that they were approved for another baby from South Korea. So now it is official and they have more news about their new baby. Her birth name is Yun-Jeong. They have named her Mayah Jeong with their last name....hehehe. They still have to wait 3-4 months to get her. She was born Feb 5, 2008. She weighed 5.5 lbs and was 19.9" long. I was hoping that everyone that reads this would keep them in your thoughts and prayers until they have their new baby girl in their arms and she is united with her forever family!!! Once that happens, I of course will be so excited and let you all know. Here are the 2 pictures my Aunt sent to us. She is adorable. She has my eyes!! LOL......LOVE HER!!!

Mayah Jeong

We are off on vacation now, and since we are NOT high tech, we don't have a lap top, and won't be able to post pics until we get home. I'll make sure I take lots of pics though so be prepared for a SUPER LONG post in a week, LOL....hope everyone has a super week/weekend!!

It's been a few days...sry

I was off work on Tuesday so the boys wanted their cousins to spend the night. Adam picked them up Tuesday night after work. On Wednesday, it was really hot, so everyone spent lots of time in the pool (my-self included.) Here are some pics!!!

Drew being goofie!

Lovely face!!

What a cutie pa tuttie!!

Devyn and Dustin ~ our cousins!

Jump boy jump!!

Bryce's splash!! WOW

Friday night we took a bit of a road trip to Standish. We went to a "bump and grind" at the Fairgrounds. This is where Derby cars drive around a small dirt track with some small dips and divots in it, and crash. We'd never seen anything like this, so it was pretty cool. While we were walking to the van, we saw 1 of the cars. The boys were excited to see it up close and personal. I pulled out the camera and snapped a few shots.

Saturday about 9:45am, Papa picked the 3 boys up and they went on the boat with Uncle Al, Ryan, Brady and their cousin. It was all boys on the boat. They did some fishing, some tubing and some relaxing. I of course asked Adam to take the camera and this is what I got!! Thank you hunnie!

Brady and Bryce in front, Drew and Ryan in back!

Same boys, same seats, Drew being a ham, LOL.

Up close. Brady and Bryce get bunny ears from Drew.

Sunday night while looking out the computer room window, I saw we had a visitor eating our weeds!!! Bring your family little bunny, we have lots!! LOL. Drew of course called him Jack (ha Jack Rabbit)

All 4 are showered and ready for bed. Caityln is here tomorrow and Tuesday. I am off Wed. I open Thursday, then we pack for vacation, and leave on Saturday!! YIPPIE!!!

Doggie sitting

Monday night we started watching Robin and Tim's beagle, Wrigley. He's been great, although I think he misses mommy and daddy. He normally sleeps with them, but wanted nothing to do with sleeping with Adam and I. He ended up sleeping in Molly's crate, and Molly sleeping with us both nights. He walked right in, and we never heard a peep out of him once he was in there. Molly got spoiled b/c she normally sleeps in there. We didn't want her out in the computer room alone all night b/c she is still a puppy and still chews. She's chewed the key board cable once, so we didn't want to chance that again. Wrigley did get out of the garage the 2nd time I put him outside Monday night. I screamed for Adam to come help, but all Wrigley did was run around the house and right into Adam's arms!! PHEW!!!! We make sure the garage doors are closed before they go out. Molly tends to sneak outside too and being a hound, her nose leads her away too often. The corn on 2 sides of our yard is way too tall now, and we'd loose her in there. So we are very careful about that. All 3 dogs went for a nice swim today with my-self and the kids. I'm not sure if Wrigley has ever been swimming but he seemed to enjoy it. It was so hot outside that I just had to take them in. Anyways here are a few pics!!

Molly (thats water droplets on the carpet from her drooling after a drink...LOL)

Anyways, Wrigley leaves today. He was a joy to have. I know the boys really enjoyed him being here, and we'd love to have him again!! Hope Robin and Tims trip is wonderful!

Finally a few moments to post pics!!!

Thursday night we went to Adam's aunt and uncles house and watched the Frankenmuth fire works with his whole family. There was lost of good food, and great family times. They had a band there too, that was VERY good!!!



Friday night we went to the Saginaw fireworks with "G", Papa, Aunt Robin and Uncle Tim. We first had a BBQ at "G" and Papa's house, then got a game of whiffle ball in (someone had to run for Aunt Robin) although she was playing the out field and ran after a fly ball and caught it. Tim said he was waiting for her to slide on her tummy to catch it, LOL. We had fun, then left early to get good seats. We played a few games, made 1 potty trip, and 1 trip for an elephant ear and cheese fries, then the fun began. These pics are of the Saginaw fire works.

Saturday we went to the Dixie Motor Speedway to watch their eve of destruction!! It was us four, "G", Papa, Aunt Robin, Uncle Tim, cousins Delaney and Faythe, Aunt Sharon, and Uncle Mike. Before the races started, the boys and I rode on a school bus that races in the figure 8. We went around the 1/2 mile track twice, waving at Adam as we came by, then went thru the pits. The boys had a blast. We sat right in front and I was talking to our driver. We found out that he drives in the bus figure 8, and had flipped his bus in the fall last year (which we were at!!) AHHH


~Boys on the bus ride around the track~


They had their regular races, then did a few songs in the middle of the race track. Delaney and Faythe went out to do the YMCA and the chicken dance!! WTG girls!!



~Delaney and Faythe~




They then had the figure 8 bus races. 1 of the buses flipped again this year!!! Then they had the trailer races, where the car/van/truck is pulling some sort of trailer, whether it be a boat, camper, whatever.....wow what a MESS!!! We had a blast though.



~This is the bus that our driver was driving in the race~



~This bus flipped at the turn~

Bryce STILL has sensitive ears, and hates loud noises!! He wears his ear muff type things whenever we go someplace thats going to be loud!!

~~~Thats all for now...hope you like the pics~~~

Our exciting next few days!!!

I woke up today at noon....OMG I was soo tired from working all 6 days this past week, getting up at 4:30am for 6 days in a row...UGH Plus I think knowing that I have to do it for 7 days starting tomorrow, I was trying to get caught up, and plan for the next few days!!

Anyways, I am VERY excited because my very best friend in High school, that I haven't seen in a VERY long time, is back in the US from Japan. She and her family (that I have never met) are here til Aug 3rd or so. We are planning on meeting for dinner tomorrow night!! VERY EXCITED!!! I've missed Amy to no end, and the last time they were in town, we never had a chance to meet up.

I am off to shower and possibly take the boys to putt putt before our VERY exciting family fun tonight. We are taking the boys to the Dixie Motor Speedway to see the EVE of DESTRUCTION!!! AWESOME!! Will post pics of the fire works, when I get time. Sleeping was more important to me, sry.

HAPPY 4TH

Just got home from Saginaw fireworks!!! Was great. Hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July. Will post pics tomorrow, as I am beat and going to bed!!

~~~HAPPY 4th OF JULY!!!~~~

SOO BUSY!!!

I've been working so much lately, b/c Dawn (from my work) is on vacation, and my boss has been having some family issues and basically needed the week off as well. He did come to work on Tuesday to do paperwork and leave checks, but didn't work today which was one of his usual days (and our pay day, which is now on Friday when he comes back to sign checks...LOL) This leaves me in charge....scary I know!!! oh well...he's been extremely stressed and NEEDS a vacation like no other. When Dawn gets back, Kirbie goes on her mission trip, when she gets back, we leave for Canada, so I don't know when Norm will squeeze 1 in. Anyways, Caitlyn has been spending lots of time with the boys (our new babysitter) and they really seem to be enjoying her here. Today they went with "G" to Great Aunt Sharon and Great Uncle Mike's in Frankenmuth to go in their big pool. Both had a great time and were VERY tired after. Tomorrow I work again, so they can sleep in, and call Caitlyn when they wake up.

Caitlyn has a myspace and I was kind of getting curious about it, so I am KIND OF getting into that now too. It's neat how you can keep in touch with family and friends all over. I have found a few long lost friends and have gotten to see our new nieces bedroom via Robin's myspace, so I guess it's cool. Will add more to that and make it more hip when I get time. I am off on Saturday this week, and Sunday next week, thats IT!!! AHH paycheck will be nice though. Tonight after dinner, I took a 2 hour well needed nap. Off to bed now, as 4:30AM comes awful early!!
