Cold Weather at the Cottage

Today the tempature didn't get above 60, I was cold most the day and no one put a suit on. This was actually very nice since we had packed the last four days with nothing but activity. One of my favorite aspects of the cottage besides the beach and water rides is the huge lawn and games we play, which often become highly competitive. (surprise, surprise). Corn hole and baseball are our main games, although Gary did introduce mom to Bocce ball today. I love the picture of Gary and Noah with the lake in the background.
Logan and Gary played baseball and she loved running the bases. Although, her path of running went every which way through the yard. Gary's parents were excited about a new tent they got for the kids to play in and Isaiah and Logan loved hiding from everyone in it.Wrestling dad was a highlight of the afternoon.It was a little crazy how much we laughed about Isaiah and Logan stuffing a football in their pants and walking around the yard. Very mature but they of course saw their dad do it first, all in the name of getting a good laugh. (and that we sure did)

What's to come?. . .Future phone calls

Seriously, I am still laughing. I handed Logan her pink play cell phone that had gone through the wash. So as I was putting the laundry away (it had been over a week and the pile was about to tumble.) in the boys room, Logan made a phone call.(on the pink cell) Logan: Hey Desirae, how are you doing? Me: Logan, Mrs. Crouch is what you need to call her. She isn't your friend, she is Ella's mommy. Logan: Mommy, I am just talking with Dez. I just let it go because I was so tickled. It gets better. This is what I hear with long pauses in between. (I really grabbed Noah's sketch pad and wrote it down word for word) "I've been doing that for weeks." "Oh, you HAVE? Oh, Wow . . good for you!" "Isaiah, not now, I'm having a phone call." Then Logan makes her way into the boys closet, (I am still putting clothes away). I tell her leave the door open and get out of the closet. Her response, "Mom, just like you when you talk on the phone." ...

Captured

Today was Logan's photo shoot for her four year picture. Noah (seven years old) had his picture take a couple of weeks ago but I never posted them. Would you believe these were taken downtown. . . . Upland?? Traci Falder, (my running partner) has abandoned running with me to pursue her dream of starting a photography business. (no hurt feelings) She is extremely talented and I encourage you to check out her photography blog at tracifalderphotography.blogspot.com. In between these two photo shoots, I took Isaiah to JCPenny's for his picture because my membership runs out at the end of this month. After trying to keep my active 18 month old on a red dot, in a tiny room, with a billion props to look at, (but me not letting him hold any), it was all I could do to not walk out and call Traci to redo his pics. Which I will in the next week, hopefully:) When I first saw Noah sitting like this, I immediately thought this is exactly how Gary would sit. Traci told Noah to sit on this ben...

Baseball Season has Arrived

Noah as "Lead Off" Batter, which has become Coach Spiegel's nick name for him. This weekend we had a game Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Noah's team is 2-2 and Noah is having a great time. He is batting well and improving out in the field at his new position of pitcher. Last year he played third base and really liked that. Noah is learning to think about where he should throw the ball to get someone out BEFORE the other team hits. He has fielded well and then made errors in where he has or has not thrown the ball. This will come for him as he keeps playing. I hope this doesn't sound critical, I think Noah is a fantastic athlete for his age (I hope that doesn't sound braggy) I just want to journal where he is ability wise so we can look back and see where he improves over time. Noah at first base. Justin Singer as first baseman, a friend of Noah's from church and King's . Noah, Bailey Spiegel, and Conner Raikes. The Three Musketeers. Snow cone ...
