What a beautiful day for an egg hunt, Saturday. We had a great time at my mom's with the whole family. I always love seeing my family. My brother and his wife are always a joy. And their boys are way to precious. Baby Hudson is growing like a weed, and Harrison has got the sweetest personality. Him and Brooklyn really have a great time together. The egg hunt went really good. I think my cousin, Noah, won with 11 eggs. Unfortunatley, I did not get very many pics from the hunt because it seemed to be over as soon as it started. Man, those kids are fast.

First Tournament of the Season!! Go BOOM!!!

Game time!! We want the field.

Well, Saturday before last was the kick-off of our softball year. It was good to be around our summer family again. The girls faired pretty well for the first tournament against the big girls. We came in 3rd!!! Way to go girls!!! Our little troopers played six games to win their first trophy of 2009!!! I loved it girls, can't wait for more!!! Go BOOM!!

The Train Ride

Oh, the train ride!!!! How in the world did Jeremy and I let my parents talk us into taking a 4 hour train ride with 22 seven and eight year old girls!!!!! I mean seriously, we must have been drugged before we answered that question. It would have been perfect had it stopped at Van Buren and went back to Fort Smith. I am probably making it sound worse than it was, or maybe not. (just kidding, Mom) It was very long. It is perfect for people wanting to get away for a few hours and take a nap. It is comparable to putting your toddler in the car seat and going for a ride and letting the vibration of the motor put them to sleep. I did quiet enjoy my hour and a half nap with Brooklyn. I am being such a Nancy Negative. On the Patsy Positive side--the kids seemed to really enjoy it. Baleigh "8"
Rachel "7"

Some---not all of the children!!!

Bowling with the Family

Last Saturday Jeremy and I took the girls bowling. We had a great time. Our friends Cody, Angela, and Hallie, not so much. We aren't professional bowlers, but we aren't to horribly bad. London got her first strike and Brooklyn's attentions span lasted for the entire game. Way to go girls!! You make mommy proud.The look of a real pro-bowler.

The look of a not so pro-bowler.

Isn't she lovely?

CHEEZZZZZZE!!!
