Got Milk?

This picture was shot for a Christmas Card a few years back.  I just thought it was funny.  The kids have grown up so much!  I laugh at how we got this idea, and that we seriously had to paint white paint on our lips.  There were tears, there was kids getting mad at each other, but all you see in this shot is one happy family!!!!!!!!

SP Rugby

Ok....these are pics...so that down the line we can prove to our posterity that Blake Ammon Farrow played Rugby. I don't do so good at watching my only son play brutual sports. I have been known to come running down bleachers when Blake was 10 and played basketball, when he got the air knocked out of him. So, when Blake asked me to come watch his first game and I did. I ended up leaving 20 minutues into the game.

Blake was indeed one of the superstars of the team, and he really, love playing it this season. He got great work outs, had good friends playing along side him and only had one concusion. As you can see his cousin, Landon came to watch him play. They later decided to call me to tell me he had been injured. I was cool.....came down to the field, made no scene, but after visions of Sunny Bono dieing after skiing into a tree, we took a drive to the emergency room. When we got to scripps, they got him in really quick, cause I had called earlier about if I should bring him in. When we got there, the image tech, said....wow, must be a busy day for injuries, a lady called in and is bringing her son in too. We laughed, cause it was us!!! Blake just said, "Yes, Rugby is brutual"!!!

Bailey Turns 14

The big "14" at our house means a party with boys and that you can actually now go to Stake Dances!!!!  Bailey was so excited to have a party with her buddies.  They are all good kids, and enjoyed the night taking walks to the pond, playing basketball, ping pong, eating pizza, drinking lots, and lots of soda, and blowing out candles.  How could I forget the scary movie they watched.....we would hear everyone screaming from time to time.  So happy that she wanted to stay close to home, and that she wants her friends at her house!!!

She is just as darling as the rest....so daughter number 3, here we come.  The big "16" will be the next big party.  Are house rules for now are boys are ok as long as they are at our house, and have little sis as the spy. Brinley did not miss a beat, and was in the middle of everything.   Bailey gets a payback, of all the pain she caused Brittany when she had her friends over.  So funny!!!!!  Bummer that we won't have anyone to bug Brinley.  I suppose we will need Brit and Scott to stay in California and we will have to do babysitting of grandchildren on the weekend, when Brinley turns 14.

Princess Brinley's 6th Birthday

I decided to kidnap Brinley from school and take her to Disneyland to the Bibbity Bobbity Boo Boutique.  Brittany, 7 months pregnant, also met us there for the magical day.  We had fun watching Brinley transform into a sparkly little princess.  She was such a good sport.  She saw lots of other girls getting all dooded up and she was not the least bit worried that she was not going to have a huge fluffy polyester dress to boot.  I leaned over half way through the experience, and asked her if she would be ok without the dress.....and she said, "No problem"!

We proceded to enjoy the rest of the day, with yummy food, easy rides that Brit could go on, and a lovely time seeing Aladin over at California Adventure.

The CUB

My last child to actually get to go to the Confederate Union Ball!  Bailey has always come to see Brittany, Brooke, and Blake, get all dressed up, and she was able to attend!  So fun for her and her good friends, Sam Haynie, Lexi Kunze and Jessica Breed.  They looked beautiful.  The dances they performed in my opinion were the best I remember.  I hope that I can find the other kids pics and post them along side this post.  That would be fun.

Bailey was able to wear the dress of Michele Fawcett, a good family friend of ours.  She looked beatilful!!!

The Cast Comes off!!!

 A little nervous to get it off....thank heavens a young boy before her came out of the ladies office and told her it just tickles...and then it if off!!!  I could tell it calmed her instantly.  Yahoo

Finally good!  After a long month of crying that she had an itch, and clobbering her family members who evers bed she ended in for the night. We are done!!! I have to say she is the first cast this family has ever had.  So surprised Blake has not been in a whole body cast!  Brinley's Kindergarden teacher shared with me that a boy in her class was clobbered by her on the playground and he now has a rash due to the cast abraiding his skin.  Not my little Brinley!!!!!  The teacher told the mom, that it could not possibly have happened, Brinley is just not that type.  What do you think really happened!!!!!!

San Pasqual Varsity Softball

 Brooke had a rough start with being sick at the beginning of tryouts....but now she is playing second base, and back on top.  She has a lot of work ahead of her to keep her spot.

 She hit a triple the other day and had two on base.  She really needed a hit under her buckle!
