Wow it has been awhile so this could get pretty lengthy. So sit back and hopfully you will enjoy catching up with us and our crazy lives. So here we go it is so nice to have the boys done with school and our girl back home. All ball games are done now. It was crazy some nights when all 3 were playing at the sametime. Jared and I both said those nights would of been nice to have grandparents living close. The boys never made a big deal out of it because they all knew we did our best to run from one field to the next. It was like this at times: Coleman just batted and Carson is up next so I am going there okay Cameron is also going to bat real soon so that is where I am going. That would be Jared and my conversation while passing each other or on our cells. It was so worth it we really enjoyed watching them and they all improved during the season. Carson will be our ball player that will take it serious it just comes so easy for him and I really don't know where he gets it but it was fun. His couch asked us if he was going to play next year I laughed because in my mind I was thinking he would play year around if he could. Jackie had a very nice wedding and I was looking at the pictures this morning and you could tell everyone was having fun. Our friends Andy and Shannon had gotten in touch with us while we were in Nebraska and asked if we wanted to go with them to the nascar race on father's day so we took them up on that and we had a BLAST!! For those of you who don't like to watch it or thinks it is boring I really do feel sorry for you! Shannon had told me that someone from Andy's work had gotten free Dupont tickets and that they gave them to Andy so that meant that we was able to go and eat at the Dupont hospitality tent. They served breakfast and lunch and they were both good meals they had for lunch fried chicken and barbque pulled pork, mashed potatoes and gravy, vegies, and fruit. We were able to go to the pits and when we were down with that we went back to the tent and Jeff Gordon came and talked to all of us. It was his first father's day and you could tell that his little girl is the apple of his eye. After that then they gave out prizes and of course we didn't get any but that was fine because we had our prize by just being able to do that. As most of you know that Jared and I both like Jeff Gordon so this day was to good to be true. Gordon didn't win but that was fine because my next favorite driver did win and it was awesome to see him win for the first time in 2 years Dale Jr. and of course that is who Andy and Shannon like. Thanks to our friends (our and Andy's) they watched our kids so we could enjoy the day and not have to worry about them. By the way I forgot to mention that we didn't tell Jared until that day on the way there he thought that when Shannon asked Andy to tell him what was all going to happen that day that we were going to tell him that we really wasn't going to the race and he was ready to tell us yes we are going to the race. There are so many crazy people that at times you simply can't move but Shannon and I laugh because we all start out walking together and within 50seconds Shannon and I are way behind our men but don't worry they will turn around and make sure we are a mile behind them and just keep on going. We laugh and say to each other they turn around but they wouldn't want to have to stop. Shannon next time we need to act like one of us is hurt really bad and see what happens then don't you think? We have both decided that we are glad that we can go with our men to something they really enjoy and also have a good time so many times I feel like he is so willing to go and do the things I like to do and not care so I am glad we do this. So that was father's day for us and so now on to camp we go. Carson and Emma went on saturday to first chance camp which is for 1st graders and last night I went with Shannon to take her girl Kaelyn and Holly (Debbie's girl) and then on the 6th of July Cameron and the twins Aspen and Haven (Shannon's twins) will go. I know that Coleman and Mitchell (Luann's boy neighbor's) will be going just don't remember the dates. Shannon and I are doing VBS this year so that is July 14th-18th then after that us and Andy's are going to Kentucky and Ohio for a week. I know Joe's are coming here to this summer so we are looking forward to that to. We also have family camp over labor day weekend that we are going to. I know that there are also going to have my family here this summer to so we are going tom stay busy but are looking forward to it all!!! The kids are looking forward to going to the beach again on sundays rain or shine. Well I best get something done before Kevin comes today to finish putting our heater in downstairs so we can move the 2 older ones down so Carson can have his own room back. Luann and I made agreement that the kids can't go over to each other's house before 10:00 so if I need them to do something now is the time or else they won't be around until it is time for VBS. This will be the kids second one already this summer and since Cameron is old enough now he has been able to be a helper at them both and loves doing it. As much as he loves kids I am sure someday he will be a teacher. Hope you all have a great summer as we will and I will try and get Jared to help me download pictures of our activies soon.
