Lake Isabella

We went to Lake Isabella today. Matthew and Connor caught several turtles. Matthew then found a baby bird that went under the van. He finally caught it with a net. He was careful not to touch it. Jack, Cameron, and Chloe tried to coax it out with a worm. That didn't work too well.

This Week's Plans

Saturday: I am going to a quilt show with some women from the Lutheran Church on Pine Street. I am excited to go! Jimmy and the boys will be volunteering at the Miracle League baseball games today. They plan to go see Transformers in the afternoon.
Tonight I'd like to finish piecing the quilt for our bed. It is huge. I hope that I will be able to finish the quilting some day. I am going to have to keep the pattern pretty simple.

Sunday: We will probably mow grass, work in the yard, and get groceries. Not a very exciting day.

On Monday Matthew has bass guitar lessons. He is getting really good. His teacher said he has a real aptitude for learning guitar. We may go to the lake. The boys want to see the Crowley kids and go fishing. I wouldn't mind relaxing in a beach chair with a good book. We will most likely go to the lake any day the it isn't raining. The boys really need to get out of this house and away from each other for a little while. On Thursday I have my quilt night and Friday is junior golf for Matthew.

This Week's Plans

Today the boys and I got to babysit Makenna and Cami. Taking care of four is not easy, but it was fun. They boys were a lot of "help". They can't get enough of Cami. Of course we took a long walk. Jack puckered out on me so I had to push the stroller and hold Makenna's hand. (Not an easy task!)
We got an unexpected call from Nan. Jack went to play with Kaitlyn and Matthew played golf with JC and Michael at Eaglesticks.

Tomorrow- In the morning I am going to go down and play with Daisy. Matthew is planning to play golf. He wants to go even if he has to golf by himself. He is so independent. Jack is excited because it is Nan day. They plan to make Flubber! Better Nan than me!!:)

Wednesday- I hope to take the boys to the lake. Matt wants to fish. Jack doesn't want to go because the Crowley's are on vacation with their dad and won't be there.

Thursday- We babysit Cami. She is so cute! I will go to quilting in the evening.

Friday- Matt will play golf at Green Valley.

A cousin is a ready-made friend for life.

Matthew and Jack volunteered to be buddies at the Miracle League Baseball Games. I was so proud of them! They were so helpful. Matthew was a buddy to a little boy named Tyler. Jack was Makenna's buddy. Makenna hit the ball and scored! Way to go Matthew, Jack, and Makenna. Jimmy is also volunteering for the league. He is an assistant coach. I am proud of all my boys.

Little Boys Are Treasures

Who are worth their weight in gold
And charm everyone around them
From the time they're hours old?

They're Mommy's little darlings,
They're a special pal to Dad,
And they bring the very happiest days
A family's ever had!
