Broken Camera - boo

So we have continued doing a ton of crazy fun things but now I broke my Camera so I do not have many pictures of the events.  I hope to be getting a new one soon!!!  I stole a couple cute pictures from my mom's camera that I thought I could share. 

These are pictures from Cameron and his cousin Xavier's trip to the Arlington Horse Races with Gigi and Papa!  Cameron had a GREAT time and man that kid already loves to gamble - mostly with papa's money!!!

Cameron got to have a sleep over with 3 of his friends last week.  That was entertaining!!!  Then we took a trip to the zoo the next day with my "cousin" Maggie and her little girl Kendell.  Because it is not enough to just take my own four kids we brought two of Cameron's friends along also.  This is the day the camera got broken.  To excited at the zoo and dropped it!  Did snap a couple fun pictures before the "accident". 

Kendell on the left and Kenzie on right.  So cute together!  They had a blast!

 Then we finished off last week with a GREAT Saturday of football scrimmages for Cameron and then the SLAMFEST at Slinger Speedway.  Wish I had some photos of that.  It was very awesome.  We all had a great time with a lot of good friends and family.  The night was perfect until Ben rolled his ankle getting the kids cotton candy.  He survived the rest of the evening but woke up Sunday morning and could hardly walk on it.  Cancel plans for going to Mount Olympus (trying again this coming Sunday).  Lucky it was not worse and now he recovering well and all is good again. 

Tuesday was Ben's Birthday - Yipee old man.

Wednesday my dad got an invite from Uptown to a Cory Hart signing event.  He invited the us to join him and we thought the twins would like it as they have meet him for this event in the past.  We actually got there early and in line early so we did not have to wait too long.  Mat Gamel was also there and we got to see them both and get things signed by both.  The kids thought it was neat and we had even prepped them a little with questions to ask the guys but the pressure was a little to much and they would not ask or say much of anything.  They did ask for the signature and say thank you so that is close enough. 

Kenzie, Mat Gamel, Calvin and Clayton

 We did manage to ask the questions for the kids. 

 Q: When did you start playing baseball? A: About age 3 or 4. 

 Q:What do you when you are not playing baseball?  A: Play with my kids. 

 Q:How many kids do you have? A: Four. 

Calvin, Gigi, Clayton, Grandma, Me and Kenzie and of course Cory Hart!!!



What a nice event and neat evening for the kids.  I was bummed Cameron had to miss it but he had football practice.  We did take his baseball glove and have both of them sign it so he still got a special thing out of it. 

Can not believe that next week is school orientation already and then Labor day up north and we will be back to school!  Urgg and exciting all at once!
