rain, rain go away

The other day I had to run down to my neighbors house to put their dog away because it was starting to sprinkle. On my way back it started pouring. So by the time I got home I was soaked. It was warm out so I started splashing in the puddles. Kali saw me and came running out. The boys soon followed. It was so much fun. The neighbors probably think we are crazy. I got one "rock on" sign from a guy driving past.
I would have a lot more pictures of what we have been up to the last week or so, but my lovely child, Tanner, erased all the pictures off my camera. We have been so busy with baseball, planning Kali's birthday party, we went to the strawberry patch again. We got to ride on a horse drawn carriage through their farm, I had pictures of that but they are now got forever, I guess it's just a good excuse to go back again.

Picking Strawberries

Yesterday we went strawberry picking. The strawberries were so big and delicious. We were having so much fun that we ended up with about 13 pounds of berries. Yummy




I have been kind of sad and grumpy lately. Kevin gets the brunt of it. I think it is just the anticipation of going home and seeing everyone, but at the same time missing my husband who works so hard for us. He gave me these beautiful flowers that my neighbors picked for us. Isn't he nice.

Kaden up to bat


Kaden up to bat. He had 3 hits this game and made it home 2 times. Way to go Kade. If any one know why the sound does this awful noise let me know.

Just a little look into our baseball filled lives.

Uncle Wayne would be proud

Yesterday the boys went to the Pitt County Math Masters Competition. Only the top 6 students in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades qualified. They had to take a test about 6 weeks ago to qualify, and both my boys got it. What nerds (jk). They left the school at 8:30 and had group and individual testing all morning. I got to meet them for lunch and hang out the rest of the competition.My boys were most excited for free pizza, my kind of lunch, FREE
This is Kaden placing #21 out of 320 kids. He got to move to the next round of questioning. They took the top 32. That's as far as he got. I was so proud to see my kid up there. He was competing against 5th graders. Only 3 kids from his school made it to this part. One of which took #1 of the whole thing.
This is part of the group of kids from the boys school. They took 2nd place over all there were 10 schools there.
This is Tanners group winning FIRST place over all the other 20 5th grade teams
I am so proud of all my kids and their accomplishments. Kali is reading way above her level and she just might be the next in the family to go to the Math Masters. Kaden got honor roll for the 3rd time this year, and Tanner got Principals list.
Just a quick HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my favorite twin. Love you and can't wait to spend a birthday with you again.
