PINK USED TO BE MY FAVORITE COLOR

Last week I had the world's itchiest eye ever. It was SO intense and driving me nuts. I thought it was allergies but couldn't figure out why it was affecting just one eye. On Saturday night I was talking to my mom on the phone and my eye was itching so bad I randomly said "Mom, what would make my eye itch really bad for 3 days straight." She said it was probably Pink Eye. But, my eye wasn't really red. I went to bed and looked it up on the internet on Sunday morning. Sure enough, you can have pink eye with out the redness. SO RANDOM! How the heck did I get Pink eye??? It spread to my other eye too, and we were worried that the kids might have it and be contagious, so we decided we better stay home from church. :(  We went to the Holden Arboretum instead and took a little family stroll. It was Beautiful! If you are in Cleveland and haven't been there yet, you should go! (if you have a pass to the botanical gardens, it is free)

I wanted to make my pictures bigger (which I did thanks to Staci and Andrea), so I tried out a new Blogger template. But, I'm not really feelin' it. I can't decide what to do to make it cute. Anyone have any ideas, or have some free time and want to make me a header?? :) I promise I'll pay you back some how.

Cousins!

My Brother Reed and his cute family came to stay with us over the weekend. They did the Church history tour on Friday and then on Saturday we all went to Amish Country. It was POURING rain on the way down and it ended up taking us 3 hours to get there. So, all we had time to do before heading back was eat and take a buggy ride. It was still a lot of fun and the kids had a blast with their cousins!

Cleveland Indians

Avery just finished up her T-ball season and she had such a great time! We were really worried because she cried at every practice, but once the games started she was SO excited! She is still a total girlie girl, but she did an awesome job and we are so proud of her!

Avery had been waiting for this moment all season. Each game, the last batter gets automatic "home-runs".  At the end of the game the coach gives the game ball to the player who hit the most home-runs (a.k.a the last batter). After every game she would tell me that she was never going to get the game ball. Finally at the last game she was MVP and got the game ball!!

The guy sitting next to us let Drew listen to a few tunes during the game. He thought it was pretty cool

T-ball buddies Avery and Talmage. Avery would not step foot on the field unless Talmage was there. I'm glad they had so much fun together

I hope you all had a great Independence Day! Here are a few random pictures from our weekend. We went camping with some friends and then watched the fireworks in Mentor. Good times.
