The beginning of football season and a very excited third grader!
Brendan has spent every night (and most days) gazing at his football equipment recently issued. He has the gloves, socks, helmet, pads, cleats and mouth guard. Now all he needs is a mother who won't freak out on the sidelines when her baby boy is being chased after by the other team. I should send apologies in advance to his team mates parents. The tendency to get carried away with the game is a problem I've been trying to overcome.
Here are some other exciting summer and literary events....
Fun times camping with cute cousins....
New swimsuits and playing in the rain.
Learning to "take care of business" in the lake with daddy. This has saved us about a million trips back to the restroom or motorhome.
Going to the fair and riding new big rides. Both Claire and Brendan tried the Ferris Wheel this year. That was a big step for two people who enjoy the train and the bumper cars only. Way to go big kids!
It can't be said enough! The beer tent girls were awesome this year! We have the system down cold. If you need women to run a special event liquor tent in your town, call us... we work cheep. Usually a few beers each and we're good for the night.
All of these pictures explain why my 2008 pictures are in the photo box and not a scrapbook. Yikes someone needs to take the camera away from me. Like seriously, if you see me at an event with it tell me to "AMP IT DOWN!"
And finally....
Before I can catch up on any photos, I need to get and read the last installment in my vampire series. Now if only I could FIND it anywhere. Let me know if anyone sees a copy in a store, I'll totally pay you back.

You have been a busy woman this summer. I hear you on the football thing. Now' I have 2 to worry about in the future. I am already envisioning my shed overflowing with sports equipment. And the dorky part...I'm planning storage for it in my head.
You camping trips look fun. Shall we be seeing sheep farm pics any time soon?
Or pig pics, you could totally revamp the sheep farm into a pig farm and then you could hire me to help you scoop out the droppings. Because I have a feeling that your fear of inside "potty" issues must certainly carry over to the barn. You could never marry Vinnie, not that you would want to, but still...
My yo yo experience with the sheep farm is still on-going. Thank goodness my husband is charge of negotiations and not me or the deal would be over. He is more even tempered than his hot head "tell them to shove their stinking farm" wife.
Stay tuned.
@ Mechelle- Nothing could diminish Vinnie in my eyes. That's the beauty of not being married to him myself. As for the pigs and potties, you have never been more right in your life. yuck-o
