Wow are we some busy folk!!!!!

Summer has begun... officially, both of my children are in elementary school!!!

We are still trying to have a baby boy, but my polycystic ovarian sydrome is making it hard... 7 months and younting!!!

Jason is working hard since his promotion to Customer Relations Coorespondant (I think!) and I have been working 4 nights a week.

We're anxiously awaiting Mom and Dad Stringham's visit next week and then we're off to the beach for a few days (Yeah, vacations!!!!)

We had Mandy's Baby "picnic" last week, I'm busy packing up the house to try to sell it, Jason is nursing some broken ribs since his potato sac race incident at the Liounis family reuinion, and the girls are loving VBS every morning this week.  Jason turned 34 this year - can you believe that?!? Oh yeah... Jaylee is BACK in a cast after falling off the monkey bars 3 weeks ago during recess.  They dont think it's re-broken but she was very tender and the xrays are hard to read.  She also found out this morning that she'll have to have some teeth pulled out!!  What a year she's having!

We've been busy at different pools... Jenni is officially a swimmer!!!!! 

It's very exciting looking online trying to pick out our new home though... it is defintaely time for a new adventure for us, it's been a few years!  Jason started the race for PA's House of Representatives but since we are moving, he has to wait and see where we end up!!  He'd love to be the face of the Liberatarian Party.

And now some pix of the past few weeks...

Jaylee's field day at school...

90 degrees!!

Jaylee loved taking Jenni around to all the stations.

Jaylee's 2nd season of soccer.

She really enjoyed defense and goalie this season.

She played with 1st and 2nd graders and though she liked it, the passion she had last fall was missing.

I hope it had something to do with her broken arm!

We spent Memorial Day morning at the Strasburg Fair.

(Only after we had driven around Millersville looking for that fair, whoops)

Of course we had to have some Creamery ice cream after the parade, even though it was only 10am.

Meg happened to be there, getting herself a scoop.

Another "Monopoly at Dinner" week...

Jason DESTROYED us!!

Jaylee really enjoyed making Grandpa's Father Day card.

She wrote down all the reasons she loves him.

Here's Jaylee volunteerng her help at her school's benefit night a Barnes & Noble's.
Katrina, Jaylee & Jenni loved the talent show the older kids put on.

Jaylee then had her end-of year party at Dutch Wonderland with her entire school.
Jenni was super excited that her BFF, Serenity, would be there too!
They are so excited to have class together again next year.
And, of course, Mandy and Morgan joined us. This was the first time Morgan really got ride any rides b/c she is 17 months old now.  She and Jenni are more like sisters than anything else... they adore each other, even when Morgan is pulling Jenni's hair.  Jaylee likes being the "big sister" to Morgan.
Jaylee got to spend the whole day with her friends Katrina, Marianna & Jared.

YEP... That's Jennibelle all by herself of the big slide!!!

For Jenni's 5th Bday, we bought her 7 weeks of dance/gymanstics.

She soon decided that she HATED the dance class.

So, here she is receiving her Gymnastic medal.

Morgan was in the audience, and Jenni performed JUST FOR HER!!!

It really was cute. 

Jenni was very excited that Daddy, Jaylee, Mandy & Nan could also come.

She is really SOOOO good at gymnastics!

June is Cherry Picking Month at Cherry Hill Orchards.

It's always ad andventure.

No matter where you are in the Orchard, you have such a pretty view...

And every June is Family Farm Days at Oregon Dairy.

In our usual fashion, we showed up with a car FULL of kids...

Fun Fun Fun.

Ms Jaylee is sporting a cast AGAIN b/c she fell off the monkey bars during recess and landing right on her bad wrist!!  She had a splint on for 1 week and the a waterproof purple cast for 3 weeks...

Thank goodness for waterproof casts!!!

To top it off, her Dentist is sending us to an Orthodontist next week to see...

HOW MANY TEETH SHE NEEDS PULLED OUT.

Poor girl is having a rough couple of months!

Jenni has spent most of her summer just being cute!!

And she's good at it!

AND, she is soooo dang funny!!!

High School "Reunion" at the Park

It was me, Alicia, Angie, Mel, Kim & Kristy and our 11 kids.

It was a fun time seeing the kids play and just catching up!!

Aunt Kathy turned 50 this year, and the girls were SUPER excited to be able to go dancing with Jason and I.

Most of my pix are videos, but here are the girls racing, before the DJ.

They requested MANY songs including the Macarena, The Hamster Dance, Salty Dog and more.

They do have a nice eclectic taste for music.

Here is the Marcarena in action...

We spent Father's Day at a Liounis Family Reunion.

It was a beautiful day, just look at the sunrise:

This deserves it's own blog, so check the next one out!!!
