Summer Blahs

Ok so it has been a long time since I have updated my blog mostly because I was waiting for Bryan to help me download pictures but he is working overtime and I don't think it is ever going to happen. So I decided to update and do pictures later. Well I am ready for school to start again, I am already tired of the kids asking me what they can do and that they are bored. I have been trying to keep them reading and working on math, but since we started doing a paper route that has kind of gone downhill since I just can't seem to keep my eyes open for longer then ten minutes. The kids have kept busy however with baseball and softball. Mackey and Timmy and Trenton my nephew were all on the same baseball team this summer, they had a great time but Tuesday was our last game yippee now we just have Allyssa in softball until the end of July. Allyssa and Britney are playing together on the same team and they are pretty good if I do say so myself the plan was for Britney to play pitcher and Allyssa catcher but Britney threw out her arm and so she cannot pitch but she plays a mean 1st base and 3rd base. Allyssa is playing catcher and sometimes outfield she actually really likes catch so we will see how far she goes. As for everything else we now have a dog for anyone who didn't know and I think he has chewed up everything imaginable in our yard the other day I walked in the back yard and saw a branch from a tree on the ground and wondered where it came from , I looked over to where we had planted a walnut tree about 3 yrs ago and it was gone thats right my dog is part beaver he chewed down our walnut tree, needless to say I have not told Bryan yet I think he might kill the dog, he has also chewed through the hose 3 times forcing us to have to drag from the back yard everytime we get done watering, and yesterday he chewed up our cooler that we sat out on the deck to dry out. Needless to say he is getting pretty annoying I hope the chewing phase ends soon. Today I took Issybelle for her 15 month checkup, my how time flies it seems like I just had her, anyway she is doing great, she is 23 lbs. and 31 inches tall. She is so much fun, she really likes me to just read stories with her and we spend half of the day on the couch reading the same stories over and over again but that is ok, she also likes to be outside so we spend alot of time outside with the neighbors, the bad part is my house is a disaster but hey your kids are only little for awhile and the house will always be their so enjoy them while there young. Welll I think I have bored you all enough, hopefully I will be able to post some recent pictures soon.
