Summer 2010!!

We have had such a fun summer I can’t believe it’s about to come to an end. In June we went to the park just about everyday. The boys would go to the skate park and the girls and I would go running. ( Bryn on her bike and Bay in the trailer) After a month of that the kids were done with the park. So in July Carson and Brynlee took swimming lessons. Carson is now a swimmer, we are so excited. Brynlee is just about there.

We went to a lot of dollar movies and went on a few day adventures. We went and toured Mrs. Fields Cookies…..

We went to chuck E Cheese’s for a birthday party…..

Carson earned more scouting awards….

We also went to Discovery Gateway….

We also went to Lagoon ( without Baylee)…..

We also went to Incredible Pizza. Let me just say if you haven't gone you should. We had so much fun we spent the whole entire day there. Yes literally from 11:00am when they opened to 10:30pm when they closed. Almost 12 hours there. Connor and Austin even had football so we dropped them off and then brought them back a couple of hours later. The kids had a great time and yes even us parents!

And last but not least we are still going strong with sports. Carson is back playing for Sparta Soccer. We have already had two tournaments and many more over the next year….

It has been a joy spending quality time with my children and our awesome friends the Schaugaard family. My kids look forward to the summer for all these fun adventures and we can’t wait for next year to do it all over again.

P.S. I am soooooo excited for school to start. I am exhausted!!

Daddy Daughter Dance 1989

My Dad sent me this picture last week of us at my Merry Miss Daddy Daughter Dance. This brought back so many memories I just had to share. My dad was the favorite dad of the neighborhood, and he was always doing things for others.  I remember how much fun we had at the dance and the best part  was when everyone voted us the King and Queen of the Dance. I even got a crown and everything. I Love my Dad so much and I am so happy that he has found his way back to what is right. I know our family will be  blessed for him doing so!  I love you Daddy!

Close Call.

There’s nothing scarier than driving home from vacation and coming upon a car accident on the freeway and seeing your parents and brother in their car facing the wrong way and up against a cement  barricade.  We were coming home from Tyson’s Baby Blessing in Parawon and we were about 5-10 min. behind Warren’s parents and brother when the freeway was coming to a stop and flashing lights were in the horizon.  As we came to the accident I noticed a blue car just like Warren’s parents the closer we got I started to yell to Warren to slow down that I think it might be his parents.  We pulled off to the side and backed up on the freeway to see that it was them.  Warren quickly called his mom on the cell phone to see if they were all right because they were still sitting in the car.  Warren’s mom was in the process of calling us because she knew we would be driving up to this accident at any moment and didn't want us to be upset. Thank goodness they were all ok except that  Brandon was cut up a bit and Warren’s mom was starting to feel the after math in her arm.   Some guy hit the side of there car by the gas tank and this sent them spinning across the freeway where a white van then hit them. It could have been real bad, thankfully they all had their seatbelts on. They were very blessed tonight and we are so Grateful that they are ok!

  

We did have a great time as always at the Bettridge home. It was a beautiful baby blessing and lots of fun spent with family! Here is a too cute picture of my nephew Hunter who dumped a glass of red punch on his head.
