July 3rd, 2008 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY Dad and Sophia!!

Will he slide???

Nah, Beau didn't slide, he was walked home. It would have been cool tho, just for fun?? Again, this is from the only game I made it to. I do know that they won this game, wahoo boys. I'm so proud of you!!

Luv,
Aunt L

I'm a bad Aunt....

I'm pretty sure this is Brayden hitting the ball, but since he isn't facing me and I can't see his number, I can't be sure. I'm also a naughty Aunt because this is the only game I made it to the whole season, um they played 3 games a week for like 2 months. Shame on me!!

I just hope they know how much Aunt Lesa loves them!!

Perfect ending...

Can you see it?? There is a rainbow at the end of our day at Adventureland, awe how cute :) Does anyone remember how Grandma Austin used to take picture after picture of rainbows and humming birds? Good thing I stopped myself at one ;)

Poor Emily....

Here is Emily on her very FIRST ride on the Tornado at Adventureland, JY was VERY excited about being in the first car. Emily, on the other hand, looked terrified. So, Jeff and Emily got the front car and Allyson and I got the very last car the next time around. Emily hated that ride and, of course, Allyson loved it (after she made sure the seat belt was as tight as it could go). I don't remember the Tornado being so jumpy and choppy when we were kids, I was a little terrified. Of course I couldn't show that, right???

How I spent my weekend, by Lesa Young

Friday night was spent arguing with Verizon about the phone I purchased 4 months ago, they just didn't understand how I could be unhappy about being over promised and under delivered to, I don't get it either. I won in the end and got a NEW phone, (that is so complicated I'm not sure I can figure it out) yay me!! Maybe I'll let the girls play with it so they can teach me how to use it, I'm just sayin' :)

Saturday morning I woke up at 9am, the hour in which we planned on leaving the house to spend the day at Adventureland (thank you AgLeader!!). On the way there (an hour later), Jeff and I argued about how long it's been since we've been to Adventureland. I said it's been since when Emily was a baby and he said it's been since High School. Then he tried to convince me that the Dragon was less than 5 years old, yeah, I don't think so man!! I've been on the Dragon and I haven't been to A-Land in the last 5 years for sure!! We agreed to disagree.. I will tell you that, A-Land hasn't changed...sure they have a few new rides, taller shade trees so you don't slow cook on the asssss-fault, but they don't have the Mamba (Worlds of Fun) all they have is the Tornado (lame-o) and the Dragon and a couple of other migraine makers. And to top it all off, the WHOLE PARK is smoke free. I mean, come on, I'm a courteous smoker just like the next guy and let's face it smokers are out numbered anymore anyway, couldn't you just let us have a little tiny smoking section?? NO, we smokers have to go ALL THE WAY to the front of the park and outside just to light up. I get it, I really do, but seriously folks if you didn't want me to come back, it worked. The girls had a good time (even if it wasn't Worlds of Fun) and that's all the mattered - even if Jeff and I turned into our parent's and just sat and waited for them to ride the ride and moved on to the next one. So, we called it a day at 6pm after being rained on twice and me tired of walking to the front of the park for some 'fresh air'.

Saturday night consisted of setting up for a high school bball tourney in which the Net Club sponsored the concessions (Thanks Master Chef Tom for making the beef burgers that they sold out of!!). After that, we spent some time with the Richardson's hearing about how Slye did at Gymnastics Nationals (without us) and playing Pitch until the wee hours of the morning. Fun times!!

Sunday I slept in, wahoo for me!! Got up at like 1030a, put my swimming suit on and 'laid out' in the pool (that comes up to my knees, but hey the floaty raft fits and so do I). Of course, I didn't lay in the pool on the floaty raft, the water was just too cold. So, instead, I stood in the pool (that comes up to my knees), read an entire book cover to cover and proceeded to burn the H out of my back, arms and neck. I couldn't pray for sun-kissed skin the whole 7 hours we were at A-Land but 3 hours in the pool (that comes up to my knees) I got fried. I don't get it.

I finally hit the hay at 12a, tried to watch my boy Horatio on CSI Miami, woke up at 1a to turn the TV off and crashed hard. There you have it, the exciting lives of the Young's. My house is still messy, the clothes are still in the walk-in closet (my dinning room) and here I am, livin' the dream baby, livin' the dream!!

Luv ya!

Gangsters????

Who's the little Chiclet throwing the gang sign and lookin' all tough?? The only thing missing from her outfit is a dew rag and a face tattoo :)

Here is a picture of the gigantic culvert that our little creek runs thru on a normal day, oh and Allyson checking it all out, she's a nut.

BEHIND OUR HOUSE.....

This is a picture of the "little" creek that runs behind our house. You can't tell from the picture but there is a gigantic culvert that the creek runs through, however on this day, the water was so high that the water went around the culvert and burrowed it's way under the road thru the dirt. Which would explain the flags and such since the road was caving in. It was pretty freaky!! Stay tuned for pictures of Allyson (the dare devil monkey) on the culvert on her stomach....she's a nut.
