I gotta a good laugh out of this one...

So Beth and my silliness and wishful thinking have taught Blake (in the center) and the P to call each other "husband and wife". So at the girls party I asked Blake who he was sitting by and he looked over to Jake and said with a big smile, "Jake"! Then I said, "Who else?" He then heard the sweet P's voice so kindly say, "I'm sitting next to you, Blake". He looked over at the P and in such perfect timing said, "AHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Tell us guys, how do you really feel about us girls? Notice the distance between the boys and P. I think they've discovered cooties!!

Carmel High Homecoming '08

As a family, we went to the Carmel High homecoming game for the 2nd year. The girls absolutely love it. It works out great, because they pitch a tent for alumni to hang out and see each other, feed us and give us lawn to put our chairs on and watch the festivities ;)!! The girls get to run and just love it. This year they were especially attracted to the drums in the band and would pretend to drum themselves. Grammy and Baby C...next year she'll be keepin' up with the big girls.
I'd love to know what they were talking about here...so cute!!

1st day of school 08 and the past

1st Day of MMO 2008 was today!! Yipee!!! She did great and Mommy got a lot done ;)!!This is her 3rd year and she has the same teacher she had her first year. She told me this morning as I put her in the van..."Mommy, I am going to tell Ms. Amanda that Dora is on my bag." And she did! Cousin Tyler looking so handsome himself now going to school together!! What a treat!
This is her first day in 2007...so excited and doin' a little jig.
This was her 1st day in 2006!!!

Mommy LOVES MMO!!

Hillfest '08

Started out Hillfest '08 at our church with a little 5K run with my neighbor. We did really good considering we have not trained together besides this past week. And it was a lot of fun to do it with someone! Then our two sets of neighbors who both have 1 boy within 6 months of the P went with us to the Hillfest Festivities in the afternoon. We ate some popcorn...
Checked out the new children's ambulance which come to find out cost $300,000 and has not yet been used.

Rode the ponies...
stood in line...
Jumped on the bouncy things...and even got to take a turn with her cousin Tyler in this picture!

Grammy and Papa stopped to take a peek too...

It was another very fun and full Hillfest Day this year!!
