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!

Busy....

This has been quite a week - and its not even over!!

Recap...

Monday... Colby had a baseball game.... we lost but it was a really good game

Tuesday... Camryn had dance... and Colby had another baseball game.... it was a GREAT game and they won -- Colby pitched 3 innings, had 5 out of 9 strike outs and had a pop fly catch for an out too!! In the last inning Colby had a pop fly and made a double play with Mike O. at 2nd base!! I still haven't taken any new baseball pics... but I will get on that soon! (because remember this is a busy week and its not over yet!)

Wednesday... Colby had Goalie Training and Camryn hung out with her buddy Elsen

Thursday... Colby had yet another soccer game... the boys won 2 to 1, which was great because this team was ranked #1

Friday... Colby song the National Anthem at Busch Stadium with Geggie Elementary's Special Chorus... It was a great game against the Cubs... and CARDINALS WON!!!! Camryn left the game with her friend Kennedy and spent the night there.

Camryn, Kennedy and Zoe... after the game was over, the firework's were shot, the crowd cheering.... Camryn and Kennedy asked me if the Cards won!??! Seriously!! lol

The choir on the Jumbo Tron...

This picture is zoomed in - Can you find Colby? He has on a white shirt and black pants - oh wait so does everyone else!! He is on the left hand side of the picture in front of the lady with the red Cards shirt...

Here is the choir - using my biggest zoom lens from our seats.... pretty high up!! But hey its all good!!



Saturday... Colby had another soccer game this morning - it was a great game even though they lost 4 to 3 - And I did get some good pics at this game! Also got to have lunch with Colby - love to get that one on one time with him... doesn't happen often!

Where's Dean you ask?? Well - did I mention it is 90 and BEAUTIFUL -- so I'll give a big Whoo Hoo to whoever can guess where he is first!!! lol!




Check out this save!! Do you reaize how many pictures I take in the hopes that I get one of these on film!! (well not really film, but how do you say that... on card?)


Tonight Colby has an indoor game and is staying at the Whalen's house.... Camryn is also staying at her friend Kileigh's house, and she has her last indoor game in the morning! Dean and I are going on an adult scavenger hunt with the Peters, Kunkels and Holtzs, should be fun!! And we will finish off the week with another baseball game on Sunday night - told you it was a busy week!!!

Will update with the rest of our weekend events after the weekend if over!!! Never a dull moment!

A weak moment....

This little thing will be ours in the next two and half weeks....

She's a 5 and 1/2 week old black Chihuahua -- we are pretty sure we are going to name her Izzy - short for Isabella... its her Spanish name. I was really trying for Margarita and calling her Rita... but I just couldn't convince the rest of the crew! Dean is thinking about calling her stupid! Yes he is still a little apprehensive... ok maybe a lot... but he has caved for us.... and the kids are Over the Moon with excitement!! How could he not just fall in love with her!!?! More pics will be posted as we get them!! This one was taken by the breeder with a camera phone... so not the best picture.... but they have strict rules about not letting people see their puppies until they have all their puppy shots.... guess its better to be safe than sorry!

Easter...

Yesterday the big bunny came by and left a few baskets for the kids..... and we had our egg hunt in the front yard. this was the first year Camryn could really hold her own on getting the eggs before her big brother!! She actually had to give him 2 of hers to make it even....

After the egg hunt... Colby changed clothes and went to the Cardinals game with his friends Dustin and Michael. We headed to Great Ganny's and had a big brunch and did a little more egg hunting! I headed back home to wait for Colby, while Dean went to play a little golf and Camryn spent the afternoon with Grandma. We all met up at Grandpa Odie's house for dinner!

A few pics to share....

The race to get the eggs, at least he let her go first...





Counting her eggs...


Acting like they like each other!!!


Colby at the game with Dustin and Mike... and a few Cardinals Girls!!! Dean asked Colby how he managed to get this shot taken? and Colby replied, "my amazing charm!"


So after a fun filled day - we were all a little tired.... but back to school for the kids this morning!! and boy were they happy!

Soccer Tournament this weekend...

We spent the weekend in Springfield, MO for a soccer tournament for Colby!! We had a great time... this is where Dean and I both went to college - so we had fun driving around campus showing the kids and talking about the good old days!! I don't think the kids liked it as much as we did. The boys played in 3 games, won 3 lost 1... so not too bad. All 3 teams we played were from St. Louis - nothing like driving 3 hours to play them!! My niece was there too - so I even got to see her play as well.... Here are a few pictures of Colby from the games.....






The best part of the tournament was that at our first game we had a celebrity.... right there playing soccer against our boys.... it was so amazing....the goalie for the other team was L.B. Little Barack!!! Check him out!!

A Blog Comeback....

Ok - I am going to make an attempt at a comeback.... the guilt from my mom and friends has finally taken a hold.... I have missed it, I do like doing it and I still catch up on all the blogs I follow - I just seem to get busy.... but that is no excuse...we are all busy!! Life is good here... and I will be catching up with you all soon!!!!
