OC in August

We had our family vacation the beginning of August.  The weather was really nice...not too hot.  We swam in the pool, played on the beach, went to the board walk and Andy and I even got out for a date night to an Irish pub!  We started talking about our future trip to Ireland...won't be until the boys are older but it will be nice to see where hubby's family came from.

In Loving Memory of Hazel Hauf, my children's great great grandmother she passed away at 100 years...her spirit lives within us. 

Christmas 2008

MIA

Yes, I know I have been MIA...  Looks like my last post was April...freakin' April!

We had a million cookouts...think somehow I lost some of those pics - yikes!

In June we had our first annual Beer Olympics (planned by Kate K. and myself) - totally awesome - Melissa R. was the grand champion!  Megan R. got the boobie prize!  Too bad my Dad fell and hurt his shoulder and ribs!  I felt horrible! Check out some of our games: (we had beach ball volley ball and kickball too)  We totally blew through the keg and then some!

Feed sack races, thanks to Rigdon Farms for the feed sacks!

 

 Blind Leroy!  (blind egg races)

 

Balls to the wall....Mom totally won this one!

 

3 legged race

 

The Stinky Spoon...this determined the winner!

 Check out Melissa R. this is where she got the point that made her our champion!

The boys also decided to have a drunk driving obstacle course...that was a little scary.

It's done!
