Lazy Sunday

Here it is.

Sunday again.

We should be getting ready for church. Haven't been there all summer.

But this is what we're doing...

C2 is chasing Pokemon on his Gameboy,


C1 is in bed watching TV,


and I have yet another book waiting for me.


We do need to get busy though.

I feel a visit to the pool coming on...

Movie Night

Last weekend, M and I took the kids to the Drive-In.

When I was growing up, we went to the Drive-In all the time. There were several to choose from in this area. Now, there are two that I know of, and they are each at least half an hour away.

We stocked up on drinks and snacks, loaded up the chairs, blankets, and pillows, put on comfy clothes and headed out.

C1 and C2 made a bed in the back of the car.


M, B, and I sat in the lawn chairs with blankets.

And to be honest, M and I pretty much slept through the second movie!

As I was loading these pictures onto the computer, I noticed something.

C2 was eating cheese popcorn.

See his face?

Too funny!!!

Take Me Out To The Ballgame...

Last week, M and I took the kids to the Dayton Dragons' Baseball game.

We are really not a "sports" family, but we do enjoy going to these games. We make it to at least one, maybe two a year. It's close by, and something different to do.

Of course, we have to get pictures with the giant baseballs outside the stadium.


M and B outside the stadium.


This is the view from our awesome seats! It's great to watch the game from, but the kids are always mad because they don't even have a chance at getting free stuff from here!


The best part for this "non sports" family, is the entertainment between innings.

The kids love to watch the mascots, Gem and Header. They always have dancing and fun contests; it's really fun to watch.

Here, Gem is dancing to Beyonce's "Single Ladies". It was too funny!


OF course, being a sixteen year old boy, this is what B did during.the.entire.game...


He loves baseball!

At The Pool

Today, as most days, we are at the pool.

With the break in the weather, it is not so busy, which makes it a lot nicer to be here! Last week, with the temperatures in the high 80's/low 90's, they had record attendance. On Wednesday, over 1500 people throughout the day! That's a lot of people for this smalltown pool!

At least today, the kids actually have room to swim!!!

My Favorite View

These days, this is my favorite view.


There is nothing better than sitting at the pool with friends, letting the sun warm your body.

My favorite view and my favorite pass time at the moment.

Love Shack

Last night, on the CMT Music Awards, Sugarland performed "Love Shack".

WITH THE B-52'S!!!



It was amazing!

Crazy Rabbit!

Remember our new rabbit, Blue Belle?

She is now three months old, and chewing.on.everything!

She has chewed through C1's DS charger cord. M had to fix it.

She has chewed many books and papers.

The worst thing she has chewed?

The TV remote!!!

She discovered it a while back, and I had warned the kids to keep it up so she couldn't chew it anymore.

I might as well have told the wall.

All the buttons are now gone.

Finding what you need on the remote now is sometimes, an adventure!
