Tooth Fairy Time!!

Today was a big day for Makenna! The day started with her 6 year check-up at Dr. Ruff's in Jasper to get ready for kindergarten. She did such a great job! Dr. Ruff told her she would do just fine in school.....she is so ready :) From there, she and I went to McDonalds for some lunch and then it was off to the nail salon where we both got our nails and toes done. Makenna had such a fun time and it was nice for the two of us to spend the day together. To finish out her big day, I was downstairs doing some work on the computer when she runs up to me so excited holding that tiny little tooth in her hand. It has been loose for weeks and she has been eating apples quite often just waiting for it to come out. So tonight as the Tooth Fairy makes her rounds, she will be adding a stop on Eagle Dr. to her list!! Below is a picture I took right after she pulled her tooth and also some pictures from the softball tourney on Saturday. Hope everyone has a great week!

Thumbs up for the Tooth Fairy is coming tonight!!

Summer 2009

It has been over a month since my last post that there is no way possible I can capture everything that has been going on this summer. I can't seem to come to terms with just how fast time goes......amazing! Anyway, the best I can do is just post some pictures of happenings and tell a little as I go. I will again try to do better with getting updates posted to my loyal readers......two of which told me over the weekend...."will you just update that darn blog"....not to mention any names Angel and Jana! Speaking of the weekend, Barr-Reeve Summer Softball hosted the first annual Jim Miller Classic which had 20 teams entered.....it was HUGE and a HUGE SUCCESS! Thanks to all the teams for coming and to all that pitched in to make this a special event to remember. I'm not going to post any pictures on my blog as I would like all readers to click on the link to the left "Whats Left of Me". This link is Brittany Millers; Jims oldest daughter. She pretty much captures what the weekend was about and why it was so special to her, her mom and sisters. PLEASE READ IT.

Makenna and John attacking the corn on the cob!

July 4th Cardinals vs Reds game.....a little drizzle wasn't going to spoil the fun!

Damon and JP taking it all in.....Cardinals didn't do so well that day so Damon is in shock I think and JP being the Reds fan is thinking "Oh Yeah"

Jana and I keeping dry.......we had fun despite the drizzle. There was a group of 25 of us that enjoyed the July 4th game.

My Corky and I

Baleigh and Makenna....how sweet!

This is great!

As you can tell from the pictures it has been a very busy summer. Damon went to Super Hoops this weekend at DePaw University as this was Freshman boys weekend (wow...that seems wierd typing about Freshman boys....I still can't believe I'll have a kid in high school in a few weeks) for the camp. The team made it to the championship game but came up a little short. This was the first year that Mike and I didn't make it up to watch him play but it was the same weekend as our softball tourney. Damon was very understanding as he knew that his dad and I needed to be in Montgomery.......he was glad he got back early enough on Sunday to do his part to help as he went straight to the concession stand to work after he returned.....what a sweet young man! Hope everyone is having a great summer!!!!

Until next time.......Maria
