Soccer and family fun...

We hang out with my friend and her family so much that we have started calling each other family. The kids even refer to us as Uncle and Aunt. With that in mind, we went to my nephew Bradsen's soccer game last Saturday. It was so cute watching all the 4 year old boys playing. Bradsen was just so handsome in his jersey.

A little half time snack.
Warming up.

So cute.

What a team!

I don't think we were supposed to have Kassie there. Oops! She was really good though. Thank goodness no one said anything.

"cousins"

Buds We went to Sonic afterwards for lunch. (The only one in San Diego)

All the servers were on roller skates. One brought out a cup of water for Kassie before we could ask for it. Awesome!

He's growing up so quick.

KathleenAwe...

Momma and her baby. A little pre-game practice.


GO BRADSEN!!!!!!

After lunch we went back to their house to go swimming. No pics of that. We had a crazy heat wave last week. Temps have been hitting the 90's to the 100's. I sure wish it would rain here. I'm ready for cooler weather.

Girl turns 14...

The Loot!

The Grub!
The girl!

The cake! (that I made and decorated...hey, I'm not a pro)(it was a double layer chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and vanilla pudding/cool whip between the layers...yum)(I used a cake template for the happy birthday using a blue powdered sugar. It kinda absorbed a little. Next time I would use a coarser sugar or crushed up sprinkles)(the templates are a lot more fancy but I was keeping it simple so I stuck with just the happy birthday)(are you sick of my()'s yet???)(HA!)

Present time!

Nighty from her parents.

Pretty box from the California Redwood Forrest. From her parents.

The girl does like her movies!!!

hehe...do you like my bow? (gotta love the bowdabra)

MP3 player from us.

Last gift...

Her favorite of the night...the new Jonas cd. She liked it better then the mp3 player! Cd and itunes card from Uncle John and Aunt Sheila.

Singing!!! Watch at your own risk...tehe!

I found these next pics on my computer today. Miss Thang has been busy again with the self-photography.

Happy Birthday Rose!!!

So, what does an almost 14 year old do on her last day as a 13 year old. Well, let's see...get up early, leave for Youth group, come home due to youth group being canceled for some odd reason, dilly dally around a bit, leave for church, come home, eat lunch(Submarina), do a little bit of nothing, argue about her reading, watch part of a movie, negotiate a deal with us on the reading, read(a little bit), leave to go swimming at the Y, go shopping with Uncle Chuck for me, walk up the street to look for some boys from school, play on the computer, offer to make dinner of Mac n Cheese, eat, watch part of another movie, eat a fabulous dessert Aunt Pam made from cake scraps, computer some more, clean her room a bit, listen to my ipod, finish her reading, get ready for bed, and finally...she's in bed! Shew...I'm tired! (What did Aunt Pam do while they went swimming? Stayed home to make the fabulous birthday cake and wrap her present for tomorrow(hehe...today, clearly I wrote this Sunday night).)

We are having dinner with family tonight to celebrate Rose's birthday. She will open her gifts from her parents tonight also. Lots of pictures to be posted later. Her sleepover party with her friends is this coming Saturday.

Rose received her card/gift from Aunt Pat. We will take her shopping after her birthday party on Saturday.
❤

Thank you to everyone for your generosity. Thank you notes coming soon!

(**Aunt Pat is what we decided Rose will call Chuck's mom**)

(**Dad(Chet), don't freak out. That is just a swimsuit cover she wore over her swimsuit this summer not an everyday top.**)

Apparently it's not a phase to be grown out of...

If you haven't noticed yet...Rose goes through picture taking trends like there's no tomorrow. Here's her newest one. Enjoy!!!

This is one of Rose's new school friends. I claim the first 2 pictures. The rest are all her!

Rose received her card/gift from her Aunt Cindy and Uncle Harry. Again, we will wait till after her party to take her shopping.

Mean "Friends"

When you leave me an anonymous comment you are not really anonymous. I have a stat counter that tells me who has been to my blog. All I have to do is match the time stamp up with the info stat counter gives me. If you think you are being a friend...you're not!!! Think about this next time you want to be mean and petty.

☹

I love to get comments...even if they are anonymous...but there is no need to attack my family. If you are my friend you would sign the comment anyways. The only true need for being anonymous is to get away with being mean.
☹

*The mean comment*

Well Pam maybe you should delete Sandra's comments. It's seems they're all negative & hurtful everysingleone

Newest trend

Move over puckered lips and shocked looks. There's a new look in town...it's scared/dead! Oh, and yay us...she figured out how to use the timer on the camera.
✿

Is anyone else getting a kick out of her creativity? I have hundreds of her self portraits on my computer. They are hilarious. Best part is that she's doing all the work for me. I just weed through them and pick the best ones to post on the blog.

Rose got her birthday package from her mom and dad though she won't open those till her birthday.
✿

Rose also got her birthday card from her Grandma and Grandpa Bradley. She's excited! We will take her to the store after her bday so she does not accidentally buy something she's already getting.

Grandma Pruett cannot make it (she has to work) to Rose's birthday dinner with our family or to her party with her friends so she has already received her gift of a boogie board. Grandma, Chuck and I took her to the beach Sunday to give it a try. She loves it.
