Preparing to move SUCKS!

Ok, I'm going to bitch a little! I am so tired of going through things and pitching "stuff"! How did we get so much "stuff"! The yard has been cleaned up! The blue wall painted! Most of the house has been gone through and "stuff" thrown out! We have taken some to storage. After the last garage sale, I have decided they really aren't worth having! What a pain to prepare for one and then sit there the whole time and then clear out what is left! UGH! Not worth it! Used the money we made to buy a GPS...love it! ANyway, we are running our of time. Hope to have the house on the market in 2 weeks and I am stressing. AND, could someone please help Shelby crawl! She is so frustrated and all I do is bale her out when she is stuck and crying...like right now!

T-ball!

Hey batter, batter! Not really! 2 times at t-ball and all we do is throw the ball and hit to mom and dad. Just drills! Ok, I understand they have to learn the basics, but it is so boring! Ellie is focused for about 20 of the 30 minutes. She looks so cute in her uniform though!

She is loving gymnastics! I'll try and get some pictures this week.

Fun, Fun, Fun!

We have been having a lot of fun lately! We took a lond weekend trip to Chicago. While were there we went to the Museum of Sience and Industry. Doesn't sound like a fun place, but it was a blast. So many cool things to look at and do. Both for Ellie and us. Here are some pictures:

We were back for a few days and then off to the lake for the 4th. Jeff's sister and her family arrived Friday for a month. We had our annual 4th of July party and had a ton of people there. SOme friends of ours have a little girl who was born 2 days after Ellie. They were so cute together. They only seem to see each other once or twice a year, but they always have fun together. Ellie made it most of the way through the fireworks and Shelby woke up during the noise. She watched from our bedroom window and was in awe! She tried to grab at them by hitting the wondow, it was so funny! Ellie has been "fishing"! The nephews and Dad and Uncle Dan all had fishing poles. Ellie has one too...Princess one, of course. She can't catch anything with it, but she can cast like a pro! She also loves to be there when someone catches a fish.
