Dancing Queen!

Well we had the big recital... after a year of prep!! The girls were super cute! They did tap to Broadway Baby, and ballet was to Under the Sea... Enjoy the pictures!









Izzy is getting bigger... she is now up to 3.5 lbs. So super cute! Love her one ear down and one up - but in the last week, the other one is almost up! Now if we could get past this puppy biting stuff!!! :)

Whats been going on in pictures....

Things have been busy with lots of different things going on...

I went on a field trip with Camryn to the Missouri Botanical Gardens.... it was a perfect day for a field trip!

Camryn got to ride a bike and conduct electricity - see if it was easier to light up the new light bulbs or the old ones...


I went to Build A Bear for a Brownie field trip... this was their reward for selling so many Girl Scout cookies..


Camryn had her 1st grade award ceremony at school... she got 5 different awards! I was super proud of her!



More Crushers Baseball...

Jenni brought the newest Crusher fan to our game... Baby Joshua - in all his Crusher gear!!! Love this picture!!


Colby with a big hit -- over the center fielders head.. makes for a double...



More pitching pictures...




And last but not least.... our precious little Izzy.... who is actually getting bigger... seriously! Click on her picture to see it larger - and see her precious little face!!


So... things have been a little busy around here... and with just 3 more days of school.. I don't think it will be slowing down just yet!!

Happy Memorial Day to all!! Thanks to all who have died and lost loved ones in out nation's service!!

Here she is...

We got our new puppy yesterday... Isabella... aka Izzy, Izzy B and Stupido! Seriously she is the cutest thing ever... we have all fallen in love with her. Even Dean said that if she kept being so good he might have to give her a new name - since he is the only one who calls her Stupido! The kids were so excited... they couldn't believe I didn't tell them I was getting her... but there faces were priceless. I did have the video camera on and was taping when they got here... or thought I was... and later went back to watch and was so bummed to find out I must have forgot to hit record in all the excitement!! She is super tiny and weighs 12 ounces. Our first night was great - she slept in her crate until 4:15am and when I took her out she went potty immediately! We played for about a half an hour... and then she went back to sleep! Even Dean came down to play with her!! Right now our precious little girl is all curled up watching golf with daddy.... enjoy the pictures!!

New Puppy!!

I got a call from the breeder this week.... and Izzy is ready to come home!! I am picking her up today at 2... the kids have no idea we are getting her today... they still think they have to wait until next weekend!! I can't wait to surprise them with her after school! So check back later for pictures and the story recapped!!!

Adult Scavenger Hunt...

We went last night to a fundraiser for the kids elementary school!! It was so much fun! We had a team of 8 people, and you had to take pictures of certain things... and in ALL pictures you had to have your stuffed animal. Our animal was the Koala Bear. We had 2 hours to complete the pictures and it was being judged on creativity! We had a blast!! Thought I would share our 10 pictures!! Enjoy! It was a jungle theme - so we tried to use that in some of our pictures as well...

First up one of our players sliding down a pole... Kerry was the lucky one here!!

One of your players getting a hair cut at a salon... Thanks to Gina - we used her salon at her house.... and Eric was the barber giving Randy a buzz.... oh wait he already is buzzed!


This is the entire group with a picture of us from a security camera.... anyone recognize this place?! I sure hope not!! lol This one got first place!


This is a picture of one of our guys dancing with a bride... Monica had my wedding gown on (there was no way that was going to fit me anymore... sad but true!) and Dean was of course doing his favorite pass time.... dancing!


This is 2 of our teammates touching a reptile.... no Monica not an amphibian!!! Jen and Joshua were both troopers for this one.... and Monica also had her finger on it!!


This was another first place winner, a man in woman's clothes!! Took about 10 shots of this because I could never get it very clear I was laughing so hard!!! Doug you are HOT!


This is all of us in a place "that we can't believe we all fit in here!" In one of the wonderful port-a-potties in our new neighborhood.... nice!


This is a team member shoulder deep in water.... not any water here... but looked good!


This is one of our players in a restaurant uniform, working... Randy at Lion's Choice... not sure why the hat isn't sitting farther down on his head and why don't you put on the guys shirt!?


Last is a picture of us spelling out a word with our entire team!! Can you see the word? It went with the jungle theme!!!


So much fun.... looking forward to next year and kicking but again... in the words of a wise(ass) man... "We may stink at trivia, but we kicked ass at the Scavenger Hunt!"

Thanks for the safe ride Jen!!! Next year - I guess we draw straws!! lol!
