NOPE it's not mine!
Ryan and Christine's baby is coming soon!
Got an update from Grandma Sylvia and it looks like they will induce Christine on Friday, August 31.
Prayers and thoughts go out to them. I'm so excited for them.

Time for a post
It's been awhile. Just goes to show you how crazy busy I've been with work and all the goings on around the house.
Had a tournament in Granite City this past weekend. It's down near St. Louis.
Peyton was playing up on the U12 girls team. It was brutal. Lots of teams from Chicago (go figure) and St. Louis premiere league. We got our hind-ends handed to us in all three games. But then again, it was a learning experience for the girls. Only 4 of the girls on the team were actually true U12's. The rest were girls pulled-up from Peyton's U11 team. They played teams where all the girls were 11 or just turned 12. They had some pretty big girls to play against..it was brutal.
It was also the first time for all the girls to play 11 v 11. That means 11 players on your side vs 11 players on their side. Peyton and her U11 team have played 6 v 6 and 8 v 8 but never 11 v 11...so there was new positions and formations to learn.
The weekend wasn't a total bust. There was a pool at the hotel. Saturday night after the games we ate out and went to the mall in Fairview Heights. Brenna got some clothes for school and Peyton got a new pair of basketball shoes.
All in all, it was a nice getaway.
No pictures were taken, (sorry) but I kept forgetting to take the camera.

9 year-old
Peyton's birthday partay was a success. 8 of her closest BFF's came over, the neighbor's let us use their pool, there was ice cream there was cake...presents were cool. Lots of gift cards. Dad took Peyton tonight to a couple of places to spend her gift cards.
At some point during the evening the girls figured out the pool was all their's so they broke out a game of "chicken"...as you can see in one of the pictures, Peyton was the winner. Not that the other girls looked surprised by the outcome.
7th grader
She's babysitting tonight. Brought the little four-year-old by for a visit. He likes Peyton's toys, doesn't care for Bandit. She's just glad to be making some money.
