Weekend Recap July 10-12, 2009

Quick Weekend Recap since I'm behind and busy...
Friday July 10, 2009 the kids all slept in, we hung around the house most of the afternoon, then in the late afternoon I took Mr Man, Sweet Pea and Little Man to spend the night with my parents and then rushed it back home. Once home I did my make up and hair and took Princess and DH off to Princess's 1st tournament game of the weekend. Here are a few pics form that game.

After the game we got a bit to eat for dinner and came home.. showered up, read a little and then climbed into bed.

Saturday July 11, 09 was up at 5AM and on the road by 6AM to be at the ball park at 7AM for the 8AM game.. it was going to be a quick and easy ball day. 8AM game and the 2nd game was to be at 10:40AM and then we were to be out of there.. ONLY around 9:30AM we had a big storm and it down poured for an hour maybe 2. So we ended up on a rain delay.. they told us we would be playing our 10:40 game at 1:30 but by 12:30 we found out the fields still weren't ready and our game was being pushed back till 4:50PM So we hit a store and then went to the hotel that some of the team was staying at, then got a bit for lunch then DH and I went back to the ball park while Princess hung out with the team at the hotel. DH and I took about a 3 hour nap in the van then got up and watched the last game of the day. Here is a slide show from that time.

After the game we went to my parents picked up the kids and went to visit the Il's and the boys had fun playing with the new Pug puppy.

The kids wanted to spend the night at my parents house again, guess my mom and dad was going to have a fire and some night time swimming and such.. So after leaving the IL's I dropped the 3 younger ones off at my moms came home ate a late dinner and went to bed.

Sunday July 12, 2009

Woke up at 5AM again, only DH woke up sick, he has been battling something for 3 weeks now but hasn't gone to the doctor ~sigh~

So he went back to bed and I left with Princess at 6AM to be at the ball park by 7AM for another 8AM game.. Here are a few pics from that. After the game Princess and I went right from the ball park to church, after church Princess came home and showered and packed for camp.. She left Monday for a week of overnight church camp. Sunday afternoon my parents took the younger 3 kids out on the lake in the boat(which now has the window fixed and the glass cleaned out of it,though we are still wearing shoes on the boat just in case) Sunday evening was youth group thankfully it was not my turn to drive because I was beat.. Sunday night I got everyone to bed early because Monday was the start of VBS and the trip to take Princess to the boat dock to get her off to camp.

Well that was my weekend.. Monday was about 3 times as busy and so is the rest of the week.. but I"m taking pictures and hopefully will be able to find time to blog about it all later..

miss you all.. I just can't find the time to blog anymore like I use too.

Weekend Recap 4th of July 2009

WOW what a weekend.. it was a busy one that's for sure..
Friday July 3, 2009
Friday was not that busy.. I really can't remember what all I did on Friday but it was nothing exciting, I don't even think I left home, Sweet Pea went to some garage sales with my grandma and then played at her friends house and then went to a kids party from her friends church and then spent the night at my grandma's house.. DH took the boys out for a boys evening for a few hours, and Princess spent the whole day with her friend S.F. and then in the evening went to another friends K.H.'s birthday party and when she game home she brought her friend G.S. back home to spend the night which turned out to be spend 3 nights at our house.. Princess still has G.S. here and they are both still sleeping now as I type this at 10AM Monday morning. There were a few hours on Friday night when I had the house all to myself.. I used that time wisely to take a nice hot bath, shave my legs and give myself a mannie and pedie and then lay down and read.. it was nice..

Saturday July 4th 2009
Saturday was our busy, busy, busy day.. DH hasn't been feeling well for over a week, says it sort of feels like the flu. So he didn't do everything with us and some of the stuff he did do, he only stayed a little bit and then left.. but we still had fun. We started Saturday with the 4th of July Parade here in our town.. here is a slide show from that.

After the parade we went home for a hour and I played on facebook LOL. Then we were off to my grandparents house to say hello and wish my family a happy 4th of July..They were having a cook out there, but I was already invited and said yes to another cook out. I did snap a few pics a new toy my dad had picked up for when they go fishing once the boat window is fixed(think it should be done by the weekend.. Oh this reminds me I still need to tell ya all what happened to it.. I'll do that later this will be long enough)

After we left my grandparents we went back home and woke up DH who was sleeping and we all took off(DH also but in his own car) to DH's younger brothers house.. They were having a 4th of July cook out for my BIL's family and his wife family. DH only stayed like 45 minutes to an hour and then he went back home and fell asleep again.. poor thing. The kids and I stayed a few hours more. here are some pictures from that.

After that we came home not really sure what our plans were going to be.. We had planned to go to the lake and swim and watch fireworks there, but it was sort of on the chili side and DH was not feeling very well.. so my back up plan was to just let him sleep and let the kids play at the house until it was time for fireworks here in our town Only around 6:30pm DH woke up feeling like he had life to him and he wanted to still take the kids to the beach.. NO swimming too cold.. but we headed out to the lake anyways.. The kids played on the playground for a while..

then played on the beach and in the sand for a good while and when the sun started to set they did sparklers and ate ice cream(thank you ice cream truck LOL) and then we watched fireworks.. it wasn't until they were over that it hit me.. I hadn't feed the kids dinner... OOPS bad bad mommy.. So we got home and I tossed in frozen pizza and around midnight feed them all dinner and put them to bed.

here are the beach/firework pictures

Sunday July 5th 2009

Sunday morning was a little rough after a long day Saturday.. but I drug all the kids bottoms out of bed and we made it for church.. not Sunday school but church.. After church Mr Man went with my dad to get something for the boat and then he spent the night with them. Sweet pea had plans to go to the beach and spend the night with her friend A.V. which she did get to her house about 1pm.. and went to the beach.. but I guess got a little home sick and around 10:30pm they were calling us up telling us she wanted to come home and they brought her home. She must have had a long weekend or something and just wanted to be home it is 10:25AM now Monday morning and she is still sound asleep.

Princess and her friend G.S helped me clean the house(well they wanted me to take them to the drive in movies so I told them if they got the house clean LOL) fun to watch two teenager clean up the place LOL.. G.S. said she had never ran the vacuum in her life.. so I told her it was a good life skill lesson ;-P While they did that I did laundry.. and then later went grocery shopping..

Little Man just spent his day playing with his toys and grocery shopping with me and bugging the girls.

DH slept most of the day.. did wake up to go to the store with me.. and he stayed home with Little Man while I took Princess and crew to the movies

I didn't take my camera with me to the shows.. but did take Princess, G.S and J.L. to the movies.. while we were there a group of 16 year old boys who Princess knows from another town showed up and thought they would just hang with us and flirt with the 13 year old girls.. which Princess knew I was not taking to kindly too.. and the funniest thing, she told them she thought it was best if they went back to there car.. LOL sort of sounds a little rude.. but at least she knew that her daddy and I wouldn't take to kindly to 16 and 17 year old boys flirting with her and her flirting back.. Goodness there will be enough of that when she is 16.. I'm so not ready to deal with these older guys when she is 13.. YIKES... Even more funny is J.L. is a 13 year old boy.. just one of there friends.. but he didn't take to kindly to these older guys showing up and moving in LOL LOL LOL.. He even told Princess if they stayed he was going home SNORT.. but it all worked out and we had a fun time at the show.. Though I think I'll let J.L. hang around more often if he is going to keep these older guys away SNORT ;-P

Well that was the weekend.. it is now 10:35AM Monday morning.. but I'm still working at getting pictures loaded so I don't have a clue what time I'll get this posted.. but you all have a wonderful week,, and I hope you had a great 4th of July..

Got really busy today.. and didn't get the slide showed made until just now at 12:47AM monday night/tuesday morning.. now I need to go to bed.. but here is my weekend recap.

1000th post.

This is my 1000th post.. if I was a good blogger we would be having a blog party with give aways and such.. but since it is summer and my blogging goes right out the window when the kids are home all I can say is

Wordless Wednesday(the accident with the boat)

Before what the window should look like.After the accident..

Weekend Recap June 26-28, 2009(camping and softball weekend)

Ok did I really ONLY post ONE time last week.. That is so unlike me.. but it is summer and I'm never home anymore.. think we spent every day last week at the pool and at ball parks in the evening.. so just no time for posting.. But I'm going to do the weekend recap and then maybe later in the week if I get some time share with you all some other stuff from the month of June.. but ONLY if I can find the time LOL.
This weekend was another softball tournament weekend.. ONLY this weekend we also camped out and not just in our yard.
Friday June 26, 2009
We had planned on leaving 1st thing in the morning to go camping but it poured Thursday night and DH wasn't feeling well at all on Friday morning so we debated back and forth if we were going to call it off.. Around 1PM DH said I can feel sick here at home or there in a tent and I thought that would me I would rather be in air condition and in my own bed when I feel sick.. but NO to him it meant pack it up we are leaving..
We loaded up the van and took Mr Man over to my parents house where he was staying because he wanted to go fishing on the boat Saturday over camping and softball. and then we were off..
We got the main tent set up and I got the taco meat I had made at home and then froze into the crock pot.. and we blew up the beds and got everything looking nice inside the tent.. and then it was time for Princess to head off to her 1st softball game.. the fields were only 5 minutes away from the campground, which made things really nice.. IT was sooooooooooo hot so I thought I would stay back at the camp and send DH and Princess to her game, while I took Little Man and Sweet Pea to the beach to swim.. We spent about two hours maybe two and a half hours at the beach.. then came back and showered and while we were showering, Princess and DH got back from the game.. At that point we set up the screen tent and I got the rest of the stuff ready for dinner, It was a late dinner but it was a yummy dinner of taco salad. While we were eating the kids heard the ice cream truck so we let them get something, they loved that. Then we build a fire sat by it for a while and called it a night around 11pm.

Saturday June 27, 2009
the younger kids woke me up about 8am so I got up and got them breakfast, while DH and Princess slept till about 9pm when they got up and ate.. We spent the morning laying around and relaxing.. took a little hike on a trail next to our campsite and then loaded it up and was at the ball field by 11am. There was a nice little playground there so I took the kids there to play until Princess's game started.. Her game didn't get underway till 12:30pm at which time we went and watched it.. they won.. she had a little break between games where we all went and sat under the shade and ate lunch.. then we went back and watched the 2nd game which we won also. They only had two games on Saturday and we were done by 4pm.. we took a little drive and waded in a river and then went back to the campground.. Princess had brought one of the other girls from the team to stay with us Saturday night.. It was still hot and sunny so we changed and went back down to the beach for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.. came back to camp showered and made a firer because dinner that night was going to be pizza pies done over the firer with the camp cooker pie making things.. The kids got ice cream again and had some fun at the playground near our campsite.. then we sat by the firer again, the kids all went to bed around 11pm but DH and I stayed out by the fire till after midnight, then we went to bed.
Here is a slide show of our hike and at the playground.

Here is one of the ball games and our lunch time

and here is one after the games.

Sunday June 28,2009

Princess and friend had to be at the ball field by 8am for there 9am game.. DH took them.. I woke up not feeling all that well, seem to have caught what DH had on Friday.. blah..........

so I stayed back at the campground with the younger two.. who slept till 9am then I got up and made them bacon and eggs and we got dressed and started tearing down stuff and packing stuff.. all while I had to keep running to the bathroom..so not fun.. Dh and Princess came back and we got everything loaded right before it started to rain.. We drove to my parents house and picked up Mr Man.. who was not happy because on the way home from fishing Saturday right as they were trying to get the boat back into the drive way they took a turn wrong and hit a tree with the driver side window of the boat and now there is no telling when that mess will be cleaned up(there is ton of glass everywhere in the boat) and when they will be able to have it fixed if they can have it fixed.. so no fishing anytime in the near future. We came home.. unloaded all the camping stuff.. and took Princess and her friends to there youth group picnic and DH took Mr Man and Sweet Pea to a wrestling pay per view at bw3. while Little man and I took a nap and didn't wake up till after 7pm.. spent the rest of the evening just relaxing till I went back to bed. and that was our weekend.

here are a few pics Princess took from the youth group picnic.

Weekend Recap Fathers Day weekend 2009

WOO HOO I'm so excited... I have been trying all day long(Monday June 22, 09) to load pictures into blogger and it wouldn't let me.. and here it is 11:51PM and I was able to get the last of Sunday night pictures loaded. It only took me *14* hours. grrrrrrrrrrr blogger..
I'm not going to load anymore the rest of the weekend pictures I'll just make into slide shows.

OK it's weekend recap time again.. since I'm tired and really ready to throw the computer out the window due to blogger acting up.. I'll make this short and sweet.
Friday June 19, 2009
Day one of another softball tournaments for Princess. The fields were about an hour and forty five minutes from out house.. Sweet Pea spent Friday night with my Grandma and Grandpa while the boys went to my parents house (luckily for us it was on the way) so we dropped them off and had to be at the fields by 4:30pm for a 5:30pm game.. Here is a slide show from the game on Friday night

After the game went back to my parents house picked up the boys and took them over to my IL's house(a block or so away from my parents) DH, Princess and I were going to spend the night there because it meant sleeping in an extra half hour in the morning. Princess had a 9:30 in the morning game on Saturday and had to be at the field at 8:30pm so cutting 30 mins off a 1 hour and 45 min trip sounded good to me. when Little Man was getting sleepy we took the boys back to my parents house where they were going to spend the night since they didn't want to go to the games on Saturday. But about 10pm we got a phone call saying there was going to be at least an hour delay on Saturday games because of rain.. and DH told me to pack it up we were going home, he would much rather sleep in his own bed since we wouldn't have to wake up as early so we got home about 11pm and was on the road at 7:45AM come the morning.

Saturday June 20, 2009
Happy belated birthday to my niece(DH's older brothers girl) Big E. who turned 13 on this day.

like I mentioned we were on the road by 7:45am Princess had a 10:30AM game then a 1:30pm game and the last game of the day was at 4:30pm it rained on and off a bit in the morning so all the games were running even farther behind then this.. so it was more like a 10:30 game then a 2pm and a 5pm game. Princess pitched Friday night game, and the last two games of Saturday(all 7 inning games so by Saturday night she had in 21 innings of pitching) Here is the slide show from Saturday game time.

We found a place to stay Saturday night with in walking distant of the fields so we wouldn't have to do the drive again, but mostly because Princess had to be there at 7am on Sunday morning. Our 2nd baseman S. spent the night with Princess and they went swimming in the pool in there sliding shorts and ball shirts LOL, then we got a bit to eat and then the girls went back to the fields and played at the park till it was time to walk back to the hotel and get ready for there early morning game. here are a few pictures of them at the park.

I was so tired that night I think I was asleep before midnight.

Sunday June 21, 2009
Happy fathers day..
DH took the girls over to the park at 7am I didn't bother heading over till 8am game time.. It was a good game even if I was tired. We won and advanced to the next round which game wasn't starting till 11:30am So we went back to the room, I hit the breakfast bar there and then packed our stuff.. and we checked out and had Princess back at the ball park at 10:30am Another great game only we lost and that was the end of the tournament for us.. Princess pitched both of these games also and they went all 7 innings, So she pitched 5 out of the 6 games and pitched all 7 innings of each game. she was throwing good, and not only that her sticks were hot also this weekend.. Good weekend for my girl..
Here are the pictures from Sunday Games.

We loaded up the van said our good byes till next weekend and headed home.. Picked up the younger 3 who were all over at my grandparents house along with my parents for fathers day.. Stayed there for a bit talking and wishing my daddy a happy Father Days.. then came home and gave DH all his fathers day gifts.. the kids came up with the idea to chip money and by there daddy a fire pit.. It's nothing extremely big but it was all there idea and I didn't even have to go out and pick it up, Mr Man picked it out and bought it himself while out shopping with my parents one day and the rest of the kids chipped in there part after he got it.. He is such a Sweetie I tell ya.. So Sunday night we threw up the tent and had a campfire and sleep out in the yard.. we were out sitting around the firer till midnight Little Man and Princess did not make it that long, think they were both out before 10:30pm

Even our cat pulled himself up a chair and enjoyed the fire ;-)

And that was how we spent fathers day weekend 2009
