Going Private!

I am going to have to go private with my blog...Sorry about this but it has been a problem lately with people reading my blog and discussing it....my intention was to let our families that live out of town just see a little of our lives that they miss.....if you want to be included as an invited guest and you are not family, just send me an email so I can put you on the list...sorry about this but I have to do what is best for me and our family.....my email is aimeehbell@comcast.net

Baseball, Baseball,and Baseball!

That just about sums up our last week..Im not even sure where I need to begin...After vacation it was back to work...I have worked every day and I am WORN out! Today was our first day to sleep in and NO ONE woke up before 10:30 (but Bert, he had to go to work)...Last week every night either Harper had bball practice or a game and some nights he had both (he is on 2 teams)- but surpizingly he still LOVES it, I have been worried he would get burned out but it doesnt seem to be happening..he just LOVES baseball! His Raymond team is very laid back and SLOW, I had no idea how slow kid pitch baseball is..they take forever on the mound waiting to throw the ball...Oh, I almost forgot, my baby got to pitch in the game Friday night and he did GREAT! I think he may have found his position! He is fast and doesnt wait to throw it and because of that he did strike many out..he did GREAT! I just cant stop bragging on him and the funny thing is, it was the first time EVER for him to pitch in a game but you would have thought he had done it forever! Saturday we spent ALL day in Florence at the baseball field, he played in a tournament ( his ALL Star team) and we were there until 8:45 that night..after we went to eat Mexican ( Harper got to pick) and then off to bed...Sunday we went to church and the kids swam with Bert all afternoon...bless his heart, he was so excited to spend his Fathers Day on his new boat but it was just too hot after lunch...For supper we went to P F Changs...It was awesome! I am not sure I would ever take the kids back because they just dont eat Chinese food but I was proud of Sweet Pea, she tried just about everything and liked some of it, I made Harper try but he just started crying and said it was gross, but they did enjoy the chop sticks! Yesterday I worked and the kids went to daycare and bball practice again ( 3 hours)...today is REST day although I have so much to do....I need to go buy their school uniforms but I am too lazy to actually get dressed and drive there...Ha...I wanted the sun to be shining but it is cloudy, so that messed up my plans to get some sun and swim all day, it makes it not so fun when it just looks like its going to rain...Tonight Harper has a bball game in Raymond and Thursday night too and we have another tournament in Morton this weekend..poor Annellise, she is going to have to miss her friend Ashley's bday party because of the tournament..she has to sacrifice so much too for her brother's baseball.. I feel so badly about that, but Caki is going to be out of town and I cant be at two places at once...that is the only thing I hate about Bert working on Saturdays because som times its just not fair that they have to choose between each others activites because I am only one person!
I have rambled on and sorry its such a long post I will try and do better!

Back from the beach!

Why is it when you get back from vacation you need another one to recover...we had so much fun! we left last Saturday and got back this Saturday at noon--we had to get back eary because Harper had All-Star practice..
When we got to Mobile on the way we HAD to eat at Dreamland Bar-B-Q..it was really good! We got to the condo about 10:30 pm --we got up Sunday and ate lunch at the Hangout! COOL PLACE! it is new and is really neat..when the rest of the family got there we got groceries and settled in ! the kids swam EVERYDAY...we would wake up and eat a breakfast that Kyle had prepared and out to the pool we would go! We cooked every other night and went out the other nights...We shopped at the outlet mall, rode the fairswheel at the Wharf, swam, and ATE! On Friday Berts friend Nate and his wife came so we hung out with them at the pool all afternoon and Bert and I went out to eat with them on Friday night..We owe them so much because they took care of my babies Molly and Bella All week so we would not have to board them...it was so sweet of them to offer and I am sure they loved being spoiled. When we got back from eating the kids, Alli, and mom when to the pool area to watch a movie..it is so much fun, we popped popcorn and took our drinks to the pool and watched Alvin and the Chipmonks...fun! We left early on Saturday morning as I said before for bball practice and then he had a pool party last night....Today we went to church, ate Mexican (of course) and back to bball practice...Annellise had her picture made and its back to church in a few minutes...I still havent put up all the clothes! I hate coming HOME FROM VACATION! (there is SO MUCH TO DO) anyway, I am off tommorrow but the kids have denist appointments and Annelllise has dance practice at school..Hopefully I can catch up because I work from Tues to next Tuesday----I cant wait for next Tuesday--ha!
