Is this really my life??

As I stood in the kitchen this morning, in my flannel snowflake pajammies and a pair of "slippy" socks,(maybe they should have taken a picture of me instead!!) I looked at my girls and thought "Is this really my life?!". I know it was just yesterday that Kayleigh was born, with a head full of jet-black hair and the cutest button nose I had ever seen......
And Joce-weren't Marsh and I just sitting at the hospital with her in our arms, thinking, "We are in for it!! Another girl!!".
These two bring so much joy (and stress)into my life and I wouldn't trade it for the world!!!
I love you both so much!!!

Our Tradition!

We always go away to Chincoteague for an extended weekend over Columbus Day and this year was no exception. The girls are always off from school on Friday so we try to get out on Thursday night. Kay had a game and we didnt end up leaving til almost 10pm.....we pulled into the campground about 130am...ugghh.. Still, I would rather get there late than have to drive in the morning and lose 1/2 a day!! The weather was Unbelievable all weekend!! We couldnt have asked for a more perfect few days. Sunny, warm, breezy...... We went to the pool, took a long walk near the bay, hit the beach, bowled, ate way too much, campfired, roasted marshmallows, drove around the campground on the golfcart, slept late and just enjoyed each other!! I even made $11.50 at Mom's yardsale! Go figure! There is nothing like fall camping to get you thru til Spring. We may make one last trip in early November....let's hope for a late snow!!< Joce was the only crazy kid that got in the ocean "all the way"! Marshall 'preparing' The BIG CATCH!! We finally saw a horsey on the wildlife loop!! Kay ate thru the entire box of poptarts looking for the "alligator"!! The boys in the packnplay under all of our linens!!

"That's My Girl!"

Sunday was a great day of softball in our family!! Joce was in a tournament in Medford and played in 3 games and Kay had a double header in Hainesport. Both played extremely well and I was super proud as usual. The highlight for me though, was Jocelyn! She pitched two innings, faced about 10 batters and struck out 5 of them. Then, in the 3rd game, with the bases loaded, she hit a double and drove in 3 runs.....earning her the MVP for that game!! Yippeee!!! I was jumping up and down, so excited for her!! "That's my girl!!"

How can you not laugh?!

This was Zach, killing time in the car recently.....

White Buns!!

I was looking at Zach's back while he was laying on the carpet yesterday and was thinking about how brown he looked. I wanted to take a picture of his tan against his jeans, but when I looked at it, I didnt think you could get the full effect. After he pulled his pants down, I think you can get the full effect now!!! HAAHAHAHH!!!!

First Day of School!

Kay started 7th, Nate had his first day of Kindergarten and Joce was sick for her first day of 3rd grade.....sniff, sniff. She is on the mend and will hopefully go tomorrow. Here's praying for a great year for all my kids!

My attempt at a nice picture!!

Impossible!!!! I'll stick to the medical field.....
