What We've Been Up To...

The girls have been playing ball. Brie plays t-ball and Brit started coach pitch this year.











Brie doesn't have much of an attention span and can often be found playing in the dirt, doing jumping jacks on the bases, and doing various dance kicks and turns while she waits for some action. She is such a funny girl!

Brittney seems to really enjoy the coach pitch league over t-ball. The nearly 8 going on 28 year old would not be caught dead acting so silly at her games! Brit is really catching on to the game this year - boy to a couple of years make a difference!

We always have quite a cheering section! Cousins Bella and Lucas are getting in on the action!

I have been taking a cake decorating class as Michael's - very fun! This is something I have always wanted to do - Brian and Katie got me a gift certificate to take the classes for my birthday. I still need to practice, but in my class I learned how to make roses, sweet peas, bows, 4 different edges, leaves, vines, filling in with stars, and how to copy a design to my cakes. Here is the cake I made for my final tonight...

I appologize the post looks crazy tonight - blogger is acting weird and seperating my pictures from the text - even though it looks fine on my edit? Grrr!

Memorial Day Rain

This years Memorial Day brought rain, rain, and more rain followed up by a few good storms. So much rain it flooded the street behind out house at least four times. The drains on the street just couldn't take the water quick enough. Here is one of our neighbors checking to see if the drains are blocked. Notice the water is more than knee high on him.

This was the view from the back porch. A couple of our neighbors let their kids go swim in it. My girls were begging, but another storm was beginning to roll in, and it just didn't seem safe to me. Thankfully our basement has finally dried out!
