T-ball

Apparently wearing your big(ger) sister's pj top with Buzz Lightyear on it makes you hit the ball farther.

Lesson learned: If you hit the tee the ball still goes. :)

Lonestar and Mother's Day

Ok, so that concert that 104.1 was having for us was this past Friday. Morgan, Gracie and I went (and my brother and two aunts also went!). They fed us Sagebrush Steakhouse for lunch. After lunch we went down to this room with a small stage (about a foot off the ground) and three small rows of chairs. There were 20 people there (not including the band and the radio station personnel.) Lonestar came running out- it was amazing. I wasn't any further than 10 feet from the stage. They sang quite a few songs- including their new 'Let me Love You' - it was great- you should check it out on itunes. They were very chatty and fun! After the concert they autographed pictures of themselves and we had the opportunity to take pictures with them. Unfortunately I forgot my camera or I could've taken a picture with their really cute new lead singer. Morgan was in awe and acted very shy- she wouldn't even talk to them. My sling was quite the conversation piece when I was getting my picture signed.

Ok- Mother's Day. Wow! I feel so spoiled this year. Morgan made me a cute magnet at Daisy Girl Scouts and ordered me a cute flower bouquet. Josh gave me an iPod!!!!! (I'm finally catching up with the rest of the world!!) Oh yeah- gotta give a shout out to my sister Taylor who actually (kinda) helped me figure out how to work it. I got some other wonderful presents from some special mothers (who I should've been showering with gifts) too! I feel so grateful to have such great family and friends. I am eternally blessed with such great mothers in my life. I have so many wonderful examples to follow. My mom is awsome- always trying to make my day a great one. My mother in law - I am in awe of how a mother could shape such a great guy (my sweet husband). She'd have to be a great one. :) All the grandmothers in our lives- we love them- the peaceful and loving way they care for us gives me something to aspire to. I just feel blessed for all the friends and family that set examples for our family and especially for me as a mother. I love you all. Happy Mother's Day.

A journey back to 6th grade.....

Who does this pile of hair belong to?

Or this chest covered in little hairs shorn off of a head???
Or the back that officially makes him an Isenhour (at least until he took a shower to get it all off!)
It's no one else other than my sweet hubby going back to his middle school haircut. All we needed was a No.2 guard and we were ready to go.
Josh took the first few shaves and I finished up for him and layered in the back and sides. Hey- at least he didn't ask me to shave a Nike Swoosh in the back.

If you are chilly...

My Sister's MacBook.....

....takes these crazy cool pictures. Here goes:

And this one might edge on child abuse- but I was laughing like crazy. So here's Gracie:

Race for the Cure

On Saturday we did the Race for the Cure. Josh, Rae and Jack stayed at home and Morgan, Gracie and I went. We didn't do too bad- it only took us an hour and 12 min (and with Morgan and her friend Anna that was quite a feat!) Here we are before the race (also in the picture- from left to right- My aunt Sheri, my dad's cousin Becky, Angie Ward from 104.1 WTQR, Morgan, My mom, Me (and Gracie!) and my sister Taylor.

And the After picture- they have a little treat for us on Friday at noon- they're doing a special concert with Lonestar!!!

Cops, Appreciation and Sleeping

Watch out folks.....next time you're watching COPS you might see my mug. :) I got pulled over on my way home from a 3-day postpartum visit yesterday. It was my first time ever getting pulled! (Josh on the other than has gotten somewhere around 6 or 7 tickets.) The officer gave me a citation (and I have to appear - or have an attorney appear) on June 6th in an adjoining town! Here is a picture of my citation to commemorate this occasion. (I may seem oblivious to the fact I have to pay for this sucker later but believe me- I've already cried over it- although not in front of the cop- that would've seemed weak- I can't seem weak)

Last night our ward (church congregation) had a Teacher Appreciation reception. Being that we are the only homeschoolers I really didn't want to go. I thought it was kind of like tooting my own horn. Morgan REALLY wanted to go however, so we went. They had made us these little clay pots painted in chalkboard painted and then decorated by the children with chalk. They also made cards and shared something special about their teacher in front of the entire group. Here is my card and ivy plant.

And here is what Gracen is doing while I type this out. (She must have played too hard!)
