Greg's wedding
My nephew Greg got married this month and both my sisters were here in town. What a treat! It was so much fun...and so sad to see them leave... I tell ya, Mormons throw a boring wedding, comparatively. It was alot of fun! I had gotten used to the 3 nuts on a plate with communal punch for all....I hope we can help our kids have fun weddings.
Sadie turned 2!!!!!
Little Miss Sadie turned 2 on the 25th....sharing the day with Seth! We had a little BBQ at the pool with cousins and Seth and I went out for dinner and brought home Daisy!
Meet Daisy
Here is the newest member of our family....Daisy....the kids adore her.....I think I may have lost my mind to take on any extra right now...but oh well! She sure is a cutie!
Pictures...FINALLY!!!
I scored a camera for Mother's Day....so I can finally post some pics....
Luke's baseball season ended...the Reds had a good season...Luke won most improved player on his team. We had a fun pool party to celebrate the season. It was a big committment on all our parts....we are signed up to do it all again in the fall!...we might be crazy.

Eat Meat
Well, veggie boy got his results of his cholesterol back....and he was less than pleased. After enduring a month of never quite feeling full or satisfied.... eating on average 10 bowls of cold cereal a day, and not eating ANY meat at all....hoping that this nasty high cholesterol issue would be remedied......
(it just dawned on me that he might not want me to post the actual number on here.....he is asleep, so I can't ask....)
Let's just say it went UP.......not down, like he had hoped. :(
While I am sad that my husband's arteries are hardening as we speak, I will be grateful for a meat eating man back in our house!!! Seriously...I could barely figure out what to cook most nights!!! Hopefully, he will be full ...and not so grumpy. :)... AND we can find a way to lower his cholesterol.
As for the rest of us.....Luke gets to pitch this Tuesday at his baseball game....The Reds are in a bit of a slump.
Ella has a dance recital coming up.....the kid's are almost done with school....Hope was her normal sweet self all week...loaning her brother money, so he could buy his own ticket to the Dbacks game last Saturday. ( usually she just gives it away.....she is a saint, I tell ya!) Sadie had a bad fall off the bathroom counter onto the tile....there were lots of tears, her , Ella and myself....We thought we might have to take her to the ER.....and rack up another $10,000 bill. Thanks Michelle for calling Dr. Grandpa and helping me feel better. It was scary!!! I absolutely hate worrying about health care costs when my babies are hurt!!!!!! She's all good, though....Everytime she climbs up on something I now say, Oh No, Sadie, we don't want you to get another ow-wee....and she quickly grabs the back of her head and says "ow-wee" with her best hurt face...and backs down.
The Jardines are coming into town next week, and the week after that BOTH of my sisters are coming here for my nephew's wedding....yes I am old enough to have a nephew that is of appropriate marrying age.... :)
I am sooooooo looking forward to some sister time......
I seriously need a new camera....or any camera at this point...
I am sick of my writing...so I can't imagine what the rest of my readers feel!!!!

I am a bad blogger
You know it's bad when you can't remember your password to log in and update your blog....that about sums up the week had by me around here. I'll spare you the deets and tell you how everyone else in the family is doing....
Seth is done with tax season....woo hoo! and...oh, crap.... all at the same time. With losing so much business...we were very grateful for the extra work and income tax season brought with it this year.....We are hoping for some new business here soon.
He has also decided for the last few weeks...he is a vegetarian. A grumpy one, at that. The man needs some protein!!! He is hoping to lower his cholesterol....he will be tested in a couple of weeks, so stay tuned.
Luke is 3 and 3 in his baseball season, barely losing to the DRays today.10-8. He played well...but is always so hard on himself...he is his own toughest critic, that is for sure. Linda assures me that Seth was this way....and grew out of it...so here's hoping. It was a hot day today...I got sunburned....but I still had fun cheering on my boy. It is so exciting and nerve racking, and fun!!! Competition doesn't always bring out the best in me...and I know I could be better in helping Luke deal with the stresses of team sports. Today, he came to me, and told me that one boy on his team kept shouting at him that he was supposed to cover second...( no play at the time)..Luke acknowledged him, and he wouldn't stop. So, what does the good example parent suggst he tell the team mate. "Tell him to shut his pie hole, he's not your coach!"
Luke seemed satisfied.
yep, no Mother of the year award here.
Hope had her last soccer game this morning....with Dad as her fabulous coach. They had a great season and all wanted Seth to coach again in the fall. Hope really improved over the season, and is one heck of a defender...that now scores a goal every game. go Hope!!!
She had some friends out shopping today and then over for a little American Idol on the Wii...good times. I am still planning on posting a pic of her in her new glasses, but I lost the camera.
Ella finished up her soccer season as well today. She pretty much hated it. She loves her trophy and the snacks that follow the game. Maybe T'ball in the fall. She only has a month left of preschool and then begins swim lessons again! She is so funny, I am so glad I get her home for another year!!! What will Sadie do with her???? She runs and embraces her when she is gone to ballet...
What will I do????
Miss Sadie....she has had a rough week. I am assuming she is teething....the last of her teeth are coming in. She has been difficult and demanding....hopefully teething and not just the terrible 2's around the corner. She is talking so much more, and can count to 4. ( very sweetly I might add)...gotta love baby pronounciation..... She is the official dancer of any and all music at our house....we love it!
we are blessed.....
