Sunday June 5, 2011

Sunday was the day that we drove an hour and a half north to drop our Colin Boy off at Camp Candlelight {a camp especially for kids with epilepsy}. He was SO excited; this will be his 2nd time going away to this camp and has been talking about it since coming home last summer! So here he is sitting on his bunk waiting for us to leave...which we finally did!

Tuesday June 7, 2011Well...today was the day...I started my summer job...GASP (i know!)!!! Once upon a time I was the curriculum specialist for Tutor Time (before the boys were in school and I was teaching kindergarten). So today I spent 7 hours in a training...a training of most everything I have already learned. The best part...I got paid for it.

Thursday was my first 'official' day on the job. I am working part time (3 days a week) in the school age room. I will be one of the drivers for the field trips as well...which I am most excited about! I drove these before when I worked for them...it's like riding a bike! We went to the movies and saw Diary of a Wimpy Kid with 52 kids!

This weekend we rediscovered our game closet! Saturday night we played 'life' as a family of 5 and had lots of laughs; well tonight Colin Boy pulled out 'mancala' and played at different times with me & Ryan.

Monday May 30, 2011

Monday brings us to Memorial Day AND Colin's 10th birthday party. We had all of the coaches and their families over for a baseball themed party {did you expect anything else?!!}

Tuesday~152/365

Tuesday May 31, 2011Tuesday night brings us to a double header at the baseball field for playoff game #2.

1st up...Colin & the Cubs up against the Rookies...Sadly they couldn't pull out a win and lost 10-4 ending their path to the championship game. Above is Colin playing first base...he dove for a ball (which he missed) and that is the reason for all of the dirt.

Next up...Brendan & the Cardinals and they were up, once again, playing the Red Sox...this is the THIRD time playing this team. They held tough and close but in the end couldn't pull off a win and lost 10-8. Above is Brendan pitching (look at the tongue!)

With 2 playoff games & 2 losses the season is over...whatever will I do with all of my free time?! Until August 2 that is when football season starts!!

Great Season Cubs & Cardinals!

Some of the movies on the list are Romana & Beezus, How to Train Your Dragon, Megamind, just to name a few.

Saturday late afternoon into the evening found us on the football field for a 7on7 passing tournament where 16 teams participated in {non-contact} passing games and a big man comp. WCHS did very well coming in 2nd in the big man comp & showing promise with their passing game. Here is Ryan watching his defense shut down KHS's offense! This is {almost} making me excited for football season to begin!! Way to go Wildcats!

Saturday night we headed to the baseball stadium for Movie Night at the Stadium. Our city does this twice a year (wish it was more) for a free fun family event! Tonight they showed Despicable Me on the jumbo tron. We take a picnic basket full of snacks and our blanket and lay out in the outfield under the stars to watch the movie...love it!

Sunday May 22, 2011

This was my first book of the summer...I L.O.V.E. to read and don't have much time for it during the school year, but you can bet your bottom dollar that I make up for it during the summer! Since school got out I have finished 2 books and am half way thru #3!

Monday May 23, 2011

A few weeks ago I went to a home show for Thirty-One. It's kinda like a pampered chef show but for purses and bags and things. I fell in love with this company with all of their useful fun bags that you can personalize. They have tons of sizes, styles and color combos. I got this bag to use as my school bag; it is huge on the inside with lots of outside pockets and I had it personalized too! The Thirty-One stands for Proverbs 31 in the Bible which I love! I am thinking of having a home party since I am falling in love with them!


Tuesday~145/365

Tuesday May 24, 2011Tuesday night brought us to Brendan & the Cardinals play-off game. In this league there is a one game elimination so we kept our fingers crossed and cheered on the Cards...and they brought home a WIN! Way to go...next playoff game...Tuesday Night vs the Red Sox.

Brendan had a great game...above is one of his hits of the night!

I met my good friend Crystal for lunch today here...YUM! We caught up as we feasted on the all you can eat soup, salad & chips with salsa! Good fun! Love spending time with my friend!!

Later that day found us once again at the baseball field to watch Colin & the Cubs take on the Mariners for their first play off game. Colin had a great game...above is him on the mound...he LOVES to pitch!

The team after the VICTORY!!

Way to go boys!

Next game...Tuesday night...Yep...double header on 2 different fields!

Thursday May 26,2011

Ryan & I took time for ourselves and headed out on a date! A real date...with NO kids! Can't remember the last time we did that...just the 2 of us! We headed to the movies and then out to lunch! It was great fun and I realized how much I miss spending time with my hubby.

Friday~148/365

Friday May 27, 2011

Friday I was trying to find fun CHEAP things to do. I am already tired of hearing 'i'm so bored' and it's only one week into summer vaca!! So we headed to a free splash pad with Crystal and her son, Z. It could have been boring for the boys but they embraced the moment and had lots of fun!! So much fun in fact that when we had to leave after 2 hours they didn't want to go!

...and then after dinner Colin asked if I would take him to the skate park. Well mind you that we are a very SPORTS oriented family, but skating is NOT one of those sports!! Colin has been dabbling in skating and is really enjoying himself! We were there about an hour as he worked on his skills!

Saturday May 28, 2011

This morning I decided I would bake some blueberry muffins....OH YUM! They didn't last very long after they came outta the oven!

So as most of you know, I am switching schools and with that comes packing and moving and I have a TON of stuff! Well my entire room is packed in boxes in my garage. One of the boxes happened to be open and this is what Brendan found...his old train set (which I had hijacked for my classroom)! He has been having a blast all week setting up different tracks and playing with his old trains!

Wednesday was graduation day in our district. They rent out The University of Phoenix Stadium (where the AZ Cards play football) and hold all of the high schools graduations there. There were 3 staggered ceremonies and this year Ryan's school's, WCHS, was the last one starting at 7pm. This year the admin asked Ryan to be a name reader...ooooohhhhh...big time! He had to read 225 names and did amazing! He was able to wear his robe and masters hood as well.
