Wow, It's been almost a month!

I can't believe it's been a month since I posted anything! I'm such a slacker! We've been busy finishing up some stuff on the house the past few weeks & I've been in 'cleaning mode'. Not sure if it's really 'nesting' (because I'm sure it will all have to be done again in the next month or so), but I feel the need to clean & organize EVERYTHING!

Here are a few things we've been doing the past month or so:

Baseball

Baseball season IS over.........but Adam made the All Star team this year! We're very proud of him! So it's not really over.....yet. The first AS game is this Saturday. So, we'll see how it goes. If they win, they could go to States. Really, they have 'States' for little league? It's little league. Whatever. We may be in this thing all summer long.

Michigan
The boys took their annual trip to Michigan with Dad at the end of May. They go with another family & their boys. They have a fun time fishing, camping & spending guy time with eachother. Here are some pics of their trip:

Woody The Woodpecker

We found this dead woodpecker in the middle of the road a few weeks ago. It was so sad! It's such a beautiful bird. Of course, the kids had to hold it & inspect it (washing their hands afterwards, of course) We were hoping to not get arrested for having it, they ARE endangered. Sad.

Snakes Eating Frogs

Our neighbor asked if the boys wanted to see an science project over at her house. She told the boys that there was a snake eating a whole frog. So, of course, they all RAN over there to witness this:



Nice, huh?

It ended up devouring the WHOLE thing!

A few weeks later, the boys picked up a snake in our backyard & a frog came out of it's mouth! They were convinced that this was the same snake they saw eating the frog. I'm not so sure. Gross.

Mickey
This is our cat, Mickey. He makes himself comfortable wherever he wants. He's usually sleeping in some odd position like this:

I think Adam took this picture.

Grandpa Daily?

When my grandpa Daily was alive, he ALWAYS had his pantleg tucked into the top of his boot. It was something that he did (not knowing) just about every day. Well, Matthew wanted to wear his cowboy boots to church the other day (besides, he couldn't find his other church shoe), so he came in the kitchen looking like this:

Pantleg tucked into his boot

I had to take a picture.

If you can't tell, he wasn't too happy with me making fun of him for it. It WAS funny, though.

At my grandmas funeral/burial they ended up having to 'move' my GRANDPAS grave (he passed away 12 years ago) because they had made a mistake & buried someone in my grandmas 'spot'. I thought it was funny. Just how their whole life/marriage had been. LOL So, in order for them to be buried next to each other, they had to move him. Anyway, we REdedicated his grave that day also, so this is what my sister, Anne, did to her pantleg, in his memory during the service:

Funny.
