A Pigott Reunion

Where to begin I just don't know. It has been two days since we got home from our Pigott family reunion and I am still smiling and laughing out loud at times about this past weekend and all the catching up and bonding that took place. I hadn't seen two of my cousins for 7 years. I will post an insane amount of pictures because there were thousands of pictures taken and that is NO exaggeration. Thank you Bill and Teryl for hosting all of us and sleeping 19 people in you home. Thank you for all the preparation and planning it takes to entertain all of us, we weren't lacking for anything to do!!! So many choices, fishing in the pond, throwing rocks, paddle boating, ping pong, corn hole, crafts for the kids, tea party for the girls, dress up for hours, (thank you Amy!!), golfing, bowling, swimming, ladder ball, and the slip and slide. Did I miss anything???
Above: The kids all reconnected or met for the first time down by the lake, throwing rocks. Allison had fun being a swamp monster and covering herself in seaweed. Logan was a little leary at first but they all got along great!! It was a blast to see my cousins personalities come out in their children!!!
Below: Arden, Grace and Isaiah were all three months apart. It was fun to see them all play together and communicate.
Gabrielle and LoganBelow: Liz and MarenIt was so wonderful to meet Mark and see Penny so happy!! Gary is SO HAPPY to have Mark in the family, not only because is just a cool guy but a fabulous golfer!!Jeff, Me, Aunt Teryl, Uncle John, Elizabeth and Amy

I love this picture because it was taken minutes after all the kids were put to bed. FREEDOM We sat out here until dark talking and watching all the "grandpas" fish until they couldn't see any longer.

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." ...

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 ...
