Family Beach Fun

What a week! After lots of fun homeschool activities (more on that in another post) we loaded up the trailer and set off to South Carlsbad Beach for a weekend of camping. We really enjoyed our time....lots of reading, game playing, napping, swimming, walking and just hanging out together. The beach is always my favorite spot!

Kenny's Thursday Football Game

How Old is old?

Well, does it make you old to own a nifty new pair of reading glasses? My parents both wore them. Old people in the movies wear them. Commercials always show the grandmas & grandpas with them down around the end of their nose. My OLD FRIEND wears them and she is old. But then two of my kids wear them and they are not old. So, now that I am the proud (really?) owner of a new pair, I wonder if that makes me old or not? Perhaps just the fact that I can consider jumping to the old side, makes me old enough. Perhaps I had too much time on my hands today or maybe thinking about being old is just part of getting older. Or maybe I just couldn't think of anything else to blog today.. .......

The Party's Over

What a fun Sunday we had. After church we went to our friends for a BBQ where Emily and her friends put on a short performance of Anne of Green Gables. She played the part of Rachel Lynn and did an awesome job! We enjoyed good fellowship, food, the play and a few rounds of a game called Taboo. After we returned home, our great actress then sprained her foot riding the scooter down our hilly street! Xrays, boot and crutches only took a three hour trip at the Urgent Care. It turned out to be only sprained though they will check for hairline fractures with the radiologist tomorrow. So for now.....the party's over. We'll see what the week brings.

Tea Parties and Victory!

Today was a busy day. Lots to do and not enough time to get finished. Our football game was in Redlands, so long drive. We won....8-0! It was a close game all the way through and we had a few bad calls by the ref, but God gave us the victory! Ken played a great defense. He is doing really well in his position and really enjoys the game. Tomorrow is housework in the morning and cooking class for Em/football for Ken. Another busy day! As you can see, I have posted pictures but I could not get them to the locations that I wanted so I will have to work on that skill. There is a picture of Kenny with Grams at the Linfield Game and one of Uncle Eddie at another game (notice that Ken is as tall as his Uncle now!). The picture of Emily is from the tea party we attended this week. We had so much fun being ladies! Not that we aren't always ladies but we don't usually wear glitter and flowers!
