Locks of Love

Carlee is such a sweet and kind hearted person.  This Summer she decided she wanted to cut her hair and donate it to Locks of Love.  I was so proud of her for wanting to do this.  Her hair was so long and beautiful, but this is something she wanted to do.  We had fun finishing this project and sending it off in the mail.  She plans to do this again.  

Things That Break

Our first broken bone happened to Laney.  We had gone over to Parker's football pracitce for just the last 1/2 hour and before we knew it she was crying and holding her arm.  She was very brave though in spite of it all. She wore a splint for a week until they put a pink cast on.  All the cousins got to sign her cast as well as the grandpas and grandmas.  The last day or two she got it wet in the shower.  We were all glad to have it off.  We kept the cast.  We will see how it smells in 20-30 years.  Phew!!!

                      

  

   

Football Season Comes To A Close

Parker's football season comes to a close today.  It has been a fun season though we haven't won a game.  He played tailback most of the season.  A little defense, but not to much.  He scored 3 touchdowns. The team scored 4 touchdowns all season.  The weather was great for most of the games.  Carlee and Laney just played barbies or made new friends at every game.  Plus they hit the snack shack to also keep them busy while Ray and I watched the games each week.  We have 2 weeks off till basketball starts.  Yeah for the break, but looking forward to watching a different kind of ball.  

Busy: Just the way we like it!

I am finding that the busier I am the more I get accomplished.  That is just the way life is. Though life seems to going by so fast these days. How I long for all my kids to be babies again, but I just can't slow them down.  I tell my kids that we are going to start counting backwards on their birthdays.  Yet it is fun to seem them grow and start becoming little people.  Hopefully in spite of Ray and I they will turn out to be great adults contributing back to world.  So, again I start another blog to remember all the little things and fun things about my kids.   Oh, and of course a few things about Ray and I.  But not to much.
