Lizzy's last choir concert

On Wednesday, May 13, 2009 Lizzy had her last choir concert for this school year. I decided to record them. I think they did a good job, but she says they didn't. It's really hard to hold the camera still for 4 or 5 minutes so please forgive the poor quality of the video, but you get the gist of it.

I hate weeds!

This week I've been pulling weeds in the front yard. Can you tell the difference?
I'm almost done weeding the whole front yard. The back yard will have to wait as it is a jungle and I'm just not ready to tackle it yet!

I took a short break to write this message in the driveway (it says We love you Daddy!)

And to snap a few photos of my cute helpers.

Disney Scene It

Last Friday we played this. I don't know how to turn the picture. It's saved the right way on my computer, but somehow when I put it on my blog it gets turned.
Here are a few pictures.

Does this picture tell you who won?

T-ball

Last Tuesday we went to Riley's t-ball game. It brought back so many memories of when Lizzy played t-ball.

Here is Riley up to bat.
Here he is on first base. There must have been something interesting under the base as they are both checking it out.

Here are some pictures of the girls at the game.

And here is Riley in the outfield. Not much action out there so he decided to sit down and take a break.
And then he decided the grass would be more comfortable. I guess he decided he was done playing so he took his hat off.
I guess he was really bored because he laid down in the grass.
I'm not sure how he could see with his helmet on, but it sure makes for a cute picture.
Thanks Riley for letting us come and watch you play t-ball.

Wii Fun

Wow, I've been slacking in the blog department. I need to be better. A few Fridays ago we played the Wii for family game night. Ella and Erika wanted to go over to Kayden's house (their cousin) so it was just the four of us. First we played bowling.

Lizzy won and she even got a record score. She got a spare or a strike in every frame except one!

Then we played Disney Sing It. I had to go pick up Ella and Erika after my first song so there aren't any other pictures.

What are you allergic to?

This is my niece, Alyssa, one of the MANY kids I watch.

Her mom says she is allergic to the floor and I believe her because this is what she looks like almost every time you set her on the floor.
I love you Alyssa. I hope someday they find a cure for being allergic to the floor :-)!

Fun on the tramp

Well, the weather has finally cooperated and Doug put the trampoline up. The girls are so excited. Ella talked me into going out and jumping on the tramp with her and then everyone ended up jumping. We had lots of fun and the girls thought it was funny how I would scream if I jumped too high (which wasn't really that high). Here are a few pictures of us jumping.

I never realized how hard it is to take an action picture. I was trying to get a picture of Erika in the air and here is what I got.
Oh well, she has a cute bellybutton.

I finally figured out, after about 100 pictures (thank goodness for digital cameras) how to take a few pictures.

I can't believe how high they dare to jump! I guess I'm just getting old.

Here is one you can actually see her face in.
Erika can do a flip on the tramp. She is crazy. It scares me to watch her on the tramp.
And once again Ella took over the camera and took a self portrait. She needs a haircut, but look at those beautiful eyes.
