Where does the time go?

I know...I'm a horrible blogger as of late. I don't think that when I started this blog 4 years ago, that I would still be posting....maybe, but I don't know. We lived in Alaska then....2005. Wow! That seems not that long ago, but it was 2 moves and a baby less then! Things do change quickly when you have 3 kids and a sports loving husband...he he he. :) I just looked back at my first few blogs. I think then only Reagan, my mom, sister and mother-in-law read my blog then. Now, it's been so long since I've posted, it's probably the same 4 people! :) So, for you 4 readers, that we never get to see but would love to have a visit from....here is an update and then I'll get back on the ball this week!!

Susannah graduated from Pre-K and is so ready for Kindergarten in the fall. Everytime we drive by her "new school" she yells, "KINDERGARTEN, HERE I COME!!" Yeah, she is just a little excited. She and her friend Ryan have been playing a lot lately. He invited her out for a little "date" last week and she loved it. They went to see Frog and Toad's Big Adventure (with his mom) at Casa Manana. She was dressed in record time and waiting by the door for them to drive up. I think that they giggled all the way to the play. Good friends and fun times!

Susie and Ryan on Graduation day!

Grace is staying busy with softball. She's been invited to play on a u10 team this next year and she is excited about being with her "older friends"....remember, she is only 7. She's going to 2 softball camps starting on Monday so that should help her skills before fall ball starts in September. Tomorrow is her last full day of second grade....where does the school year go???

She's getting a big hit!

Grace wants to play high school ball just like Bethany!

Parker. Parker. Parker. Let's just say this...he keeps us busy and could be the reason that I hardly ever post here....I have to keep up with him and I love it!! He has started spelling his name to the tune of Bingo "P-A-R-K-E-R and that's how we spell Parker!!" Aaron went and threw me a curve ball last week when he taught him how to use the restroom standing up. I have been perfectly happy with him sitting down and using the potty. Aaron thought other-wise, but to Parker's credit...He has been doing GREAT!!! Of course, he thinks he is a big kid so that probably helps out even more, but he's doing a super job right now, for sure.

Ms. Suzanne and Parker during their "Smartie Party" in the church office. We love to visit our favorite place in the church building!

We had a big softball game and picnic at the park with our small group...here some of the kids that came!!

Aaron and I have been staying busy with work (well, he has) and with church. I bet our kids think it is their second home and I couldn't be happier about that....I love our church family and our friends. Small group is going great and we love our Sunday nights up at the building! Our high school seniors are less than a week from graduation and we are so excited for them and all of their new opportunities in College in the fall....not that we won't miss them, but they know they always have a place to come home to at Legacy!! :)

That's about it with us....staying busy, loving our God, loving our friends and making it real with the time we have. It doesn't get much better than that!

Parker is such a big boy!!! Be prepared for dribbles on and around your toilet from now on! Tip: I keep cleaning wipes handy in my bathroom and use them multiple times daily. (I've even taught Adison to use them himself, which he does ocassionally)

You're on my blog scroll, so I get excited when I see you've updated! I definitely go through times when it's harder to blog than others too, so I understand! Your family is far more important than sticking your face in a computer, so make no apologies!

Lots of love to you and your sweet clan!
