hello again, hello!

I'm thinking it's about time to update the blog!

Life

has been crazy busy, I'll use the ole' "we moved" card, but it has been much more than that. In all our many many moves, this goes down as the hardest...I'm not sure why... let's see...could it be we have 4 kids now, we built this home so we were and are so exhausted that we don't even want to unpack, we haven't "settled" into our "own" home for over 3 years...I think I forgot how to put a home together, plus there are still so many unfinished projects haunting us, we spent last month potty training a laid-back 3-year old who couldn't have cared less, it's now summer so the kids are home all day and that keeps me busy busy... I think it's
just life.
I am going to try really hard to keep up on the blogging stuff. I get so behind that it becomes overwhelming...you know like the old scrapbooking stuff. I am not going to let this overwhelm me to the point that I don't even know where to start to catch up. I am just going to start from today. I will probably back post for the past few months, just for my own documentation, since this is the closest thing I have to any journal or scrapbook... anyway, here is a picture of our "cute-iful" 6 month-old Savanna... cameron made up that word "cute-iful" and it stuck!

baseball season

Baseball season ended today. It was a fun season in a new town...they seem to go all out here compared to the other places we have lived during baseball. Opening Day was back in May and was a great time with games on the big-time fields, a parade, and traditional baseball food for lunch. The boys had a lot of fun, Barrett played on the A's and Cameron on the Rockies. Clint was once again lucky enough to coach..this time Cameron's team... Oh - and recognize the mitt Barrett is using in this picture Richie? He lost his just before the last game but happened to find this one somewhere at grandma's house... we'll be sure to put it back right where he found it in case you come looking for it...

Swimming

We took our first pool trip of the summer today. I waited until Clint could come to see how things would go this year with Savanna and Mr. E. Well, I think I can only go to the pool when I have another adult there soley to help me supervise...Mr. E is too brave. Savanna's first time at the pool was pure enjoyment for her...she kicked her little toes raw on the bottom of the pool and exhausted her little self. good times.
