A Good Book!

It's great to read a good book every now and then and since Harry Potter, I haven't found anything that truly holds my interest. Well, I think I've found it! The Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer has it all! Romance, Suspense, Heart Pumping Action and nothing trashy! LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT! Two weeks ago I bought Twilight, I read it in 2 days. The very day I finished Twilight I had to go and get New Moon. I finished New Moon in 3 days. I then had to go and buy Eclipse, to which Ammon said "Dad, mom had to go buy another one of those Vampire Love Story Books!". I managed to finish Eclipse in 3 days also. Now I'm stuck! Breaking Dawn doesn't come out until August 2nd and I am on the edge of my seat waiting to run and buy it so I can read what happens next! I convinced my mom to read them and she's now reading the third book, Eclipse. On top of the suspense in waiting for Breaking Dawn, I can't wait until December 12th for the First Movie, Twilight, to be released!! So, I would recommend to anyone out there that likes to read and enjoys an author who can keep you reading and reading....YOU"VE GOT TO READ THIS SERIES!!!

Tee-Ball

Well, Ammon has one more game left and I thought it might be a really good idea to take some pictures of him! So here they are. The kids have really improved over the last 2 months!

Just to explain a little, we play sports in Bellefontaine instead of Rushsylvania because in Bellefontaine all the games are the same place and in Rushsylvania they are all over the county. We also like the organization in Bellefontaine better. It's very non-competative, they don't keep score at this age, and the coaches are on the field (in both Tee-ball and Soccer) to help the kids know what they are supposed to be doing. In Rushsylvania there are pre-season tournaments, they keep score during the season, and they have tournaments after the season games are over based on your "ranking" during the season. I see no reason for this when they are 5 and 6 years old! Sports at this age should be about having fun! Anyway, sorry for the rant. Here are the pictures!

Ammon turned six yesterday and he had his birthday party at the Columbus Clippers game. The Columbus Clippers are the AAA Farm team for the Washington Nationals. Ammon chose to take Mitch Coleman and Clayton Snavely with him and they had a super duper time!

When we got to the park we had a birthday party on the patio just inside Gate #3. We got Hot Dogs, Popcorn, Pop, Water, Cheryl & Co. Cookies and Cake! We all also got Clippers Penants, Victory Bells, and T-shirts, and Ammon got a Special Edition Birthday Celebration Baseball!

The kids also got to meet LouSeal and Krash the Mascots for the Clippers!

Between the 2nd and 3rd innings the kids got to go out on the field with the Mascots to do the chicken dance! During this time they put the birthday kid's pictures on the Scoreboard!

It was Clifford The Big Red Dog Day at the Park and Sariah was just beside herself to be with Clifford!

We had AWESOME seats right down the Third Base Line! We saw 3 Home Runs, had several foul balls come our way and almost had a cracked bat up our way! The kids had a blast and were very well behaved!

What Fun! We had a blast and it'll be a memorable experience for all of us!

Sariah, Sariah, Sariah!!!!!!!

Okay, so....I've posted about Ammon and maybe I should post about Sariah. Sariah is 3 1/2 she weighs a whole 28lbs, but eventhough she's little she's full of spunk and determination! You don't EVER tell SAriah she can't do something because she's too little. She'll prove you wrong every time! She is very energetic, loving and caring. She's my little daredevil of sorts. Well, maybe not really a daredevil, but she's WAYYYY more willing to try things than Ammon is! Sariah is doing tumbling and LOVES it! Ms. Gloria is her coach and she's VERY, VERY good with Sariah! Here

is a picture of how I found Sariah the other day...she must have been tired!

Officially a 1st Grader!

Well, not that I had any doubt, but Ammon is officially a 1st Grader! WOW!! What happened to my baby? He's getting so big and is so smart! This year in kindergarten Ammon has learned to read, spell, add and subtract, and write in Denelian (for those of you who grew up the same time as me, Denelian is printing with tails on all the letters to help the kids learn to transition to cursive....in my opinion it looks silly, but that's what they want them to learn!). Ammon's favorite thing at school is Art class. He made some really cool projects this year! Ammon's favorite food at school is the Pizza they ALWAYS have on Fridays and Ammon's least favorite thing about school is nap time, but they quit doing that about half way through the year. Ammon also had the opportunity to have Chinese class every week this year. he can sing several songs in Chinese and can say a few words too!

Grandma Annie

Here are a some pictures of Grandma Annie Archer. Some of you may not know that back in March she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. This tumor has been very, very fast growing and she has put up a great fight. Her time here will not be much longer, but she has lived a good life and has a wonderful, loving and supportive family! We love you very much Grandma!

Update: Grandma Annie passed away today around 5pm. She will surely be missed!

Just the Girls!

Last Friday and Saturday Mom, Sariah and I went to a craft show in Findlay, where Mom had a booth. We set-up Friday night, then we stayed overnight in Findlay and Saturday morning we had to be back at the Hancock County Fairgrounds at 7:00am. We weathered rain, wind and horrible humidity, but ended up having a really good time. Because of the weather mom didn't sell too well, but it was fun to be together, Just the GIRLS!
