Whoohooo! She made it!!!

Congratulations to my baby girl Olivia for making the Middle School "M" field hockey team!  Soooo proud of you!

Tryouts started last Monday and were supposed to end on Friday with the lists posted in the evening.  Well the coaches weren't expecting the overwhelming interest as last year they were recruiting to fill the younger "M" team.  This year with 60 girls trying out cuts had to be made and the coaches pushed it out with another tryout day today.  That was a bummer as we were hoping to deal with the outcome good or bad over the weekend.  It's been a long week.  Glad all of that sweat equity in the hot sun paid off!  Can't wait to see the girls play!  Have I said how proud I am of my girl?  You rock! Love you!  :-)

Mack's Run for the Apples 5K

Today was the Mack's 5K through the apple orchards and woods.  Not easy to do in 90 degree weather and hot sun!  Olivia amazes me . . . always running with a smile on her face and making it look so easy!  Here are some pics of Liv & Daddy at the start:

And here they are as they crossed the finish line.  Whohoo!  Way to go! I'm so proud of you guys!
Oh and forgot to mention, their time was 27:49.   Not bad for a couple of "non-runners" ey?

And here's post race after a jump in the pool.

Back to School!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!  No just kidding. I'm usually ready for back to school at this point in the summer but this year I was really sad to let the kids go (and they weren't ready to either).  With such nice weather and lots of hanging out with friends by the pool, there wasn't much opportunity to get bored and get on eachother's nerves.  Here we are, 2 days under our belts and so far so good!  Hard to believe that the boys are in 4th grade and Olivia is in middle school.  Time flies!  Here are a few photos from Thursday morning.

Had to share . . . a then and now

Our desktop slideshow just popped up this oldie of Olivia on the trampolines down the Cape so I thought it would be fun to post it w/one from last week.  Boy does time FLY!

What in the world???

What in the world was I thinking when I let the kids pick out this crazy thing while down the Cape! When they call it a "wave machine" they weren't kidding!  Each time the kids use it, we have to put the hose in the pool for a few hours to refill.  Hello water bill!

It's a beautiful day today and there are only a few left before school starts {{sigh}}. Off to the pool!

Boy do I stink at blogging!

Okay, so I created this blog months ago and haven't been back since.  I promise I will get better at this. :-)    The kids will be off to school in another week and I will have more free time than I know what to do with (yeah right! lol!).

For now, I thought I would share some news with all of my scrappin friends.  A Page in Time Scrapbook Kits which I design for is celebrating it's 6th birthday this week.  Yay for APIT's owner Amy!  Her kits rock!  We have daily inspiration and challenges going on all week ending with a fun-filled weekend crop jam full of challenges, games and prizes.  Come on by and check it out!  I posted a funky ad challenge yeseterday.  Here you go . . .
