Compromise

So, I blogged my heart out tonight. Okay, that's not completely accurate. I posted as many pictures as I could tonight. My goal is to do the same with July, August and September (so far) by the end of the week. I'm dying to blog witty and even, wordy posts but there are not enough hours in my days these days so I'm reduced to picture-posting until I get caught up. See you soon!

Soccer Camp (Still Blogging June, Friends)

The Sharks (T-ball 2009)

Once again, Blake played teeball this year. This year, however, Derrek was a coach and I think it was a great experience for both of them. It taught Derrek a good lesson in patience and it taught Blake how to be a leader since he was one of the oldest boys on the team this year (only 5 & 6 year-olds play). This year, of course, he was faster, hit the ball more and understood what was going on. Another highlight was that Brooklyn was on our team this year. It was perfect for me because I got to spend a LITTLE bit more time with Rebekah. Ahhh, I miss teeball:)

Aunt Niffer’s Birthday at the Beach (in June)

Cash & I took a very spontaneous trip to Port Aransas to see my very good friend, Jennifer for her 30th birthday. We had a blast with Aunt Niffer and Aunt Jessica (another college friend). Jenn decided to start her weekend with a throwback to our infamous LA trip for the Grammy’s a few years back by camping out at the beach for about 7 hours waiting for me to pick her up. Long story but one highlight is when someone offered to get her something to eat because she looked homeless with her big bag. After I rescued her, we stopped at the grocery store and waited in a ferry line for over an hour (it was Friday afternoon about FIVE o’clock; great planning) to get to Jenn’s sister’s beach house. This place was AWESOME! I want to move in. Cash loved the sand and the waves and I even lucked into a babysitter for Jenn’s birthday night and got to go to Sharkey’s. I’ve heard a lot about that place and had a much needed night of jamming out to classic Michael Jackson and my Britney Spears.

Our beach ride. He loved facing forward with the wind in his hair!
He loves his Aunt Niffer!

All kinds of room to crawl and play at the beach house.

Wake up, girls! I want to play!

That means you, Niffer!

Mama & Cash

What you can't see in this picture is that I'm surrounded by the ladies. They loved me!
