What's Been Going On And A Night At The Ball Park

We've just been busy with school. It's a hard year for Madison. She is enjoying it though. Sydney just loves it. She was the first person in her class to move her bee. That is what you do when your a little or a lot shamefull. Tom told her she was a pioneer. The next day she came home from school and said that someone else was a pioneer too. We've also been trying to spend as much time at the pool as possible before the season ends. We've also finished painting the whole house and are now working on all the trim work. It never ends.



We spent the evening at the Ball Park watching the Durham Bulls. Thomas got us some free tickets from work. I didn't know it when but they are first place in the division and they were playing the 2nd place team. It was packed. The girls had an okay time. They just wanted to know when there would be fireworks. At the end they said it was worth watching the boring game just to see the fireworks. I'm glad they liked the fireworks and food. They also liked the 2 slides to home plate.

A few weeks ago we went to a picture party. It's just like all the other parties except you meet someplace and get your pictures taken. We went to the campus of Duke University. It was just beautiful. Those are just 2 of the many pictures we had to pick from. It was so much fun to have a professional photographer take your pics and not some person at the mall.

Happy Birthday Madison

And you're Daddy's Little Girl You're the end of the rainbow My Pot of Gold You're Daddy's Little Girl to have and hold A precious gem is what you are You're Mommy's Bright and shining star. You're the spirit of Christmas My star on the tree You're the Easter Bunny to Mommy and me. You're sugar You're spice You're everything nice and you're Daddy's Little Girl. You're the end of the rainbow My Pot of Gold You're Daddy's Little Girl to have and hold A precious gem is what you are You're Mommy's Bright and shining star. You're the spirit of Christmas My star on the tree You're the Easter Bunny to Mommy and me You're sugar You're spice You're everything nice and you're Daddy's Little Girl.

Tears or Cheers

Grandma here is the Bell Tower at the school. The Grandparent money fund at work.

Sydney the BIG Kindergarten girl.
The car ride on the way to school.
My beautiful school girls. I just can't belive it.
Madison the 2nd grader. She is so grown up.
Today was the first day of school. They have a thing for kindergarten mom's called tears or cheers. I don't go because I'm usually crying too hard and I've got to get back and baby sit. K thru 2nd are in the same hall and Madi keeps telling us that the 2nd grade class is the head of the hall. She is very excited. She will begin learning Latin this year. She tells me soon she can talk about me and I won't know what she is saying. Oh Joy!!!! Sydney told Tom and I it was time for us to go home and leave her alone.

They Have Popped Out Another One

The Duggar family has had child number 17. "Saying there are too many children is like saying there are too many flowers", by Michelle Duggar. Our family just loves this family. They have been on TLC and Discovery Channel. They just amaze us. They have another special scheduled to air next month.

A Few New Friends

Today Sydney had her first class party. One of the moms invited everyone over for a pool party. Only part of the class made it. We all had a great time. The second picture is of them doing funny faces they aren't in the "special" class. I can't believe that next week I'll have two big school girls.
