SOCCER!!

Well both Saydee and Skylar wanted to play soccer this year and I thought it would be great!! Sign ups were in May and who would of thought that life would be so busy when it started the last week of August? They have both done great.




This is Saydee's 3rd year playing soccer and she has done well. She is on the GREEN ALLIGATORS. She loves to go to practice every Tuesday and works really hard. We enjoy watching her play!!

This was Skylar's first year playing. Her team is named the "STARS". She has surprised us all with her undying energy. We tease her that she is the STAR of the Stars. She is always right by the ball and gets really aggressive. We love to watch her play!!

Skylar's 5th birthday!!!

On July 19th, Skylar turned 5!! Boy she was excited to have a PARTY!! She had it all planned. She wanted a snail party but there are not many things to do with snails so I talked her into a ladybug birthday party.


We made ladybug headbands to get started. Here are all of her friends with their creations.

She insisted on a pinata and of course we could not find a ladybug but we did find this cute butterfly.

Here she is with her cute cake. I found this picture and I really wanted to make it but I really knew I was not that talented. My nice neighbor stayed up until all hours of the morning helping me and Skylar loved it!!

Another plan Skylar had was going to APPLEBEE'S!! She wanted them to sing to her and give her a sundae with a cherry on top. She ate mashed potatoes and then she got a sundae but it had more than just one cherry on it, it was covered with cherries!!!

Here Skylar is with her new dress, her new purse and of course her bubblegum machine that she got for her birthday!!

HaPpY BiRtHdAy SKYLAR!! We love you!!!

OUR GARDEN

We were lucky enough to have a garden this year for the first time. It has been so much fun and a real learning experience. These are the first radishes that came out of the garden. We had enough radishes for the whole neighborhood. That was one of the things were learned, you don't have to plant the whole package of seeds. Oh well it was fun.

Family Campout

A few years ago we started a Burton/Humpherys reunion. It has been a great tradition and we always have a lot of fun. This year it was a little different because mom and Kent were not there. We still had a good time but we really missed them a lot. Steph and her kids were only able to come up for a day and Adam never made it up because he got really sick.
