Oh yeah! I have a blog!

And a ton of pictures to take off my camera.

I guess you can say that we have been busy...kind of, sort of.

I found this gem first...Let's hope Dad was around when this was taken (by looking at what she is wearing, my guess is he was right there)!

We have just wrapped up 3 months of solid baseball.  It kept us VERY busy, but I don't regret it.  In fact, I enjoyed it (yes, even though I complained about it often).  It gave us a reason to spend tons of time together as a family and say "no" to all of the other things that keep us apart as a family.

Here's a shot of Tyler as the pitcher!  He was worried about playing on a kid pitch team and DID NOT want to ever pitch, but he ended up pitching almost every game and doing quite well at it (meaning the innings that he pitched didn't last forrreeeevvveeerrr). 

Best purchase for summertime entertainment was the $35 Target pool found on our back deck providing endless days of waterlogged fun.  Evan photographs well in water!  Such a ham!

At our house, one sure sign that school is nearing to an end...Jared's hair turned into a MOP!!  It got so bad that Rob couldn't even handle it anymore and took the clippers to him! In my defense, I didn't think I should be taking Jared to get a hair cut when he had a strep infection all over his body.  The hairstylist wouldn't have been too happy with me!  Buzzed pictures hopefully coming soon.  And Rob gets an A+ for saving us $36.  All three boys were buzzed.  I had to draw the line at Anna, much to her chagrin.

Father's Day was filled with extra little house guests.  Rob was a trooper because he didn't get the day off that he would have liked and well deserved, so we turned the day into a party...baseball style of course...from Peanuts and Cracker Jacks to the Sandlot.  And we couldn't forget the cupcakes either.  Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes.  Yeah, yum!  So Father's Day turned into Load All Eight Kids Up With Sugar Day.  Thankfully, they all went to sleep early that night, and Rob and I collapsed into a heap once they all did!

Now bring on Summer Vacation!!
