A little background on the company, well it is owned by my Husband and my Dad. We started the business about 5 years ago. The Lord has blessed the business so much that 2 years ago my Husband quit his teaching job and came on full time. We feel so blessed. So we would like to bless someone with a great sign for your house!!

Softball!!

The girls had a blast playing softball this summer. Their last game was on Wed. they lost the first game of the tourney...but they had a blast. Oh did I mention that Wed. was the hottest day yet of the summer. Bill & I were sweating just sitting there watching! The girls were very hot.

Here is a group pic of the team:



All the girls did great, they all learned so much!

Weekend Fun!

Where was I last week...well we were at VBS every night of the week! We always have a blast but can be very tiring! Here is a group pic of the kids at VBS

We have had a fun/busy weekend! Well to start my weekend off Friday night, I started the laundry and went and sat down...about 10 min passed and I thought OH NO...where is my cell phone...Yep...you guessed it in the washer clear full of water. I was not happy...I have tried everything and to my dismay I am afraid I will be going back to my old phone till I can get another free one through my cell phone plan which is not till March. I am glad I still have my old phone to use!

So on Saturday we headed off to the South Bend Potawatomi Zoo, the girls and us had a lot of fun. I would recommend this Zoo, it is small but very nice we walked the whole zoo and stopped for a snack and it took about 3 hours perfect for our family!

We had lunch at home, a great way to save money is not to buy the over priced food and drinks at the zoo...it is crazy how expensive the food and drinks can be at the zoo. Also I packed us snacks and drinks cause I know the kids will want a snack!

Ali and Jama eating there snack cause sure enough 10 min. after we got there Jama asked for snacks!

The Tiger was looking right us...my youngest was a little scared at first, till she understood the Tiger can't come out and then she was fine!

The kids loved the big horns on these bulls...they were huge...can you imagine how heavy those would be!

Then we were off to some friends house for a cookout and swimming!
The kids swimming!


What a great way to spend the day with the family! And today we had a cookout at my brother's house! And then we went fishing and went for Ice Cream! How did you spend your Fathers Day Weekend? Happy Father's Day!

Girls playing softball!

I love summer! Here are a few pics of the girls playing softball this week

Jama was playing catcher..she liked it but didn't realize how hard it would be she had to get the ball anytime the batter didn't hit the ball. She didn't know why others couldn't help her. Uhh Jama that is what a catcher does catch the ball every time! I don't think she will ask to be catcher again! She does look pretty cute in this outfit though!



And here is Ali playing 3rd base. She did get a girl out on third, GO ALI!


We love watching them play, brings back lots of meomories of me playing as a kid!

Shopping Trip

I did my weekly shopping today! I was quite pleased with all that I got! I only went to Meijers this week,and they had all the sale items in stock! So I got the following all for $39.06! The watermelon itself was $4.99 ouch, I know, I thought it was 2/5.00 so I asked the lady and she said it was on the small ones....so I got anyways I love watermelon! Total of 43 items for $39.06 that is .91 per item!







Sorry the pics aren't that great, I was in a hurry to get them away, so I could make supper, and get to the girls ballgame. Oh and supper....well I started it went and checked Facebook :) came back and lo and behold I did not turn on the stove! I guess I should focus on cooking instead of Facebook! So supper took longer than I thought it would but we made it in time to the ball game! I will post pics of the girls at there game tomorrow.
