Catching Up

Hi Everyone! I just noticed today that we haven't posted anything new for a while, and a LOT has been going on in our house. First of all, (and also considered to be the most important,) school's out for our girls. KresLynn left 9th grade with a 4.0 GPA, Tristin is going to be starting her first year of Junior High, and Rhiannon made major improvements to her grade over the school year. We are very proud of the girls' achievements. :)

Next, it's softball season for Rhiannon! She's doing very well. Her team has only lost one game, and Rhiannon is having a lot of fun. Rhiannon in particular has had a very eventful couple of weeks, including a ferocious black eye. The cause of the shiner was, suprisingly, not an act of vengance taken by one of her sisters. Rhiannon slipped on the grass while trying to catch a pop-fly ball, and...here was the result.



Her eye was swollen and turned a different color every day for about 8 days. She wasn't a very happy camper, especially because she was starring in the school play, Horton Hears a Who, the exact same week. She performed well, however. She and her friends even built a "commercial" skit around her black eye, advertising "Pain Make-up! The only Make-Up you can feel!" It was a fun night. Here are some pictures from the play.







Her eye is still a little pink, but it's not affecting her personality.

Chloe's doing well, also. She lounges around all day, but it's still better than chewing up carpet. Her favorite thing to do is jam herself underneath our coffee table, an effortless task when she was a puppy, now requires a little force.



Lazy dog.

Well, that just about sums up the past two weeks! Hope everyone has a great summer!

Jones Bottle

Our family has recently uncovered a passion for Jones soda. We noticed all the pictures on them, and we thought: "Hey, we've got some funny/awesome/embarrassing photos. We should have them on a bottle of a soda we love!" So, we uploaded our picture to the Jones website, and we're needing more votes on our picture.

To vote, just follow this link:

KresLynn's name should be underneath the correct photos. Thanks for all your help!
