OUR GROWING FAMILY: Stitches out and HOLY HOT.

Last week was very busy and fun. The twins had PeeWee t-ball camp all week for an hour a day. It was so darn cute. They did great and it was a lot of fun to watch. I feel like they learned a lot and they both were very excited to go to their "own baseball". So Kenzie also made it the whole week with her stitches. She did amazing and did not bug them. She actually seemed kind of proud of them. She got them taken out yesterday and did well. It seems to be healing well also. Glad that experience is over and not looking forward to the next time but I am sure there will be more in our future. The weekend was pretty low key. The family took a little trip to the Cabela's on Friday and the kids LOVED the fish tanks. Saturday I worked and Ben golfed for work. Then we got to spend some more time by my parents with my brother and Joachim. They leave early Monday morning to go back to Germany. Boo. We spent the evening in the pool and eating it was really nice. Sunday we also got together at my parent with the family and enjoyed the pool and spending time together. It was hard to leave and say goodbye for another 6 months - possibly a year! I hate this part. Now I look forward to Christmas (hopefully) or next July.

As much of you know it has been HOT HOT HOT this week. I am not complaining just stating a fact. Poor Cameron had his first tackle football camp this week. 1:00 to 3:00 Tues, Wed. Thursday. They still had camp and I watched them from the van thinking about how hot it was. Clay, Cal & Kenzie were less aware of the hot weather and wanted to watch practice outside. Let me just say that I was sweating just watching them practice in this heat and had to bribe the little kids with Popsicles just to get them to go home to cool down instead of sitting through the whole practice. Then this evening Cameron also had a baseball game. Tomorrow same deal. Football camp and then another baseball game. Whoot Whoot at least we will not get bored!!!!

Just too fitting for my little boys. They loved Cabela's. They posed for this picture by the 'Bigee Bear' with some pop guns they found nearby. The bright colored crocs really make them look tough.
