Long Time AGAIN!

Ok, so here's what's been going on in our world since my last post. The second picture cracks me up! The candles were sparkle candles with glitter and they sort of "sparked" like a sparkler when she would blow on them! So she wouldn't even get close! It seems sooooo hard to believe my little 2 pound preemie is now 9 years old!!!! Where has the time gone? She is into Hannah Montanna, Zoey 101, Josh & Drake and Dora and Little Pet Shop are only a faded memory. wahhhh..... She got tons of moolah from family, some HM clothes, Uno Attack and Ethan got her a Taylor Swift CD. We partied at my Grandma's house in the country with my side of the family.

Not to leave the boys out....here's a little showing of what they were doing....The pics aren't that great, but I can say Dad was in the wagon. Good thing Ethan's only driving a lawn mower. They were hauling off fish guts! By the way, you can click on the pictures and it will bring up a larger view!

I just love being at my Grandma's house. It's so peaceful there. You can't see any neighbors looking in any direction and there is plenty of wild life to see all the time. I spent every summer at her house as long as my parent's would let me stay.

We are in full swing with ball season and between practices and games and rain, I don't think we have a free night until July sometime! 's ok though, I love baseball and good times at the park. Stephanie's games have a little bit to be desired and at Lion's Park, well, let's just say it can be interesting and leave it at that.

I haven't had a chance to read in the last 2 or 3 weeks I don't think, but am still floundering with A New Earth. I have had too many things going on and reading is a luxury at this point in my life.

I'm thinking of trying a diet again real soon. I joined Weight Watchers last fall and lost about 15 pounds. I've kept that off, but am wanting to do something on my own that doesn't cost a weekly fee. I need to try to go to the Y more often. I just don't know when I can fit it in.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. Greg and Ethan made me breakfast, (bacon/egg/cheese biscuit and hash browns), gave me a card from each of them, put up a ceiling fan in the living room, went to the cemetery to see Greg's mom's stone that was recently put up, grilled out with Aunt Mary and Grandpa Kempf, and when Stephanie got home from camping all weekend, she gave me a handmade card, a glass angel from Arrow Rock, and a little refrigerator memo board she made at school. All in all, it was a good day!

Till next time, and hopefully won't be so long!
