Birthday time!

I had another birthday last week. I am posting about only because I want everyone to see my awesome cake that my sister Stevie made for me. (Thank you Saundra for posting these pictures so I could steal them). It is a mad hatter cake with edible pictures of my wonderful family on it. Stevie is just amazing.
It was also really nice that I had all my sisters there. It seems like it is a lot harder for us all to get together these days. So, when we do we have a lot of fun.

Back to school



I can't believe that I have 2 kids in school. Crazy! I think that Riley was the most excited about school starting. He got all ready and he still had 20 minutes until we had to leave. Jacob was also excited but he knew what was going to happen, Riley didn't.
Parker isn't going to know what to do now that it is only going to be mom at home. I think is will be great.

Lacey Nymeyer

Lacey is so awesome. She swam in the 4x100 free relay Saturday night and took home the silver. She will be swimming again tonight in the individual 100 free. I am so very excited to watch her. I have known Lacey all my life. Our families are very close. Watching someone you know really well, makes the Olympics way better. Lacey you ROCK!!!

I also really like watching Michael Phelps, really who doesn't. He is amazing.

New dew

I chopped all my hair off yesterday. I have never had it this short. I think that I really like it. Sorry for the shine. The flash was on when it didn't need to be and Jacob was taking the picture.

Apple Annie's

We went out to Apple Annie's to pick peaches. We had so much fun, even if it was really hot. This is Jacob and Riley on the tracker ride out to the peaches. It is always fun going on a tracker ride!
Parker trying to figure out if this is a ball or not. He really likes balls and so he things everything round is a ball.
Here are all the peaches we picked. That is a lot. I think too many, but oh well.

Summer Is Coming To An End

The library activities are done. They have a really good summer library program here. They have different activities and guest come in every week. This summer it was all about bugs. Way cool for boys. The last day they had a big party and a prize give away. Riley won this Kung Fu Panda poster, which everyone wanted and 2 passes to the movie theater. He was really excited that he won. He had to rush home and put it on his wall.
Jacob took a clay class this summer and last week was the end. So, he got to bring home the things he made. He was really excited to show us. He made a pot and a fish wall hanging. He did a great job for it being his first time working with clay.

Jacob and Riley did a football camp last week. They had a ton of fun. Jacob is going to be starting the football league this week . Riley is still too young he is kind of sad about that. But, there is nothing we can do until next year.

So, our fun summer is coming to an end very quickly. School starts next week, Jacob and Riley are very excited.

Peanut Butter & Jelly



This song is sung by a group called Insideout Acappella. I think this is the funniest song. Jacob and Riley laugh when ever I play it, they even know all the words now. I hope you enjoy it.
