Misc.

C left me this sweet little note IN THE DUST when he went to Jr camp.

We had such an awesome time watching the World Cup this year.
So sad that it only happens every 4 years.

Crazy kid still makes a mess when he licks the beaters.

Not quite sure how to caption this one.

C's soccer team had a fundraiser at City BBQ.  He made a whole $18!!!
(what a waste of time!)

Our summer has been so crazy!  This was in June!

I planted yellow and green squash for the first time this year.
I had no idea how big the plants get!
And they have huge yellow flowers that are only open in the morning.

I miss my Kalei girl!

It's not easier; just different.

The other day I commented to C, "I'm tired of the same pictures of Kalei."  I know that's a "ummmm" moment.  I know I won't get any new pictures of her.  But that was just my thought.  I miss this girl!

The new flowers we took her.  Hot pink flowers with a purple butterfly.

Jr Camp

This is C's last year for Jr Camp.  This year they actually went to a new camp site.  This place looked really cool.  They had this huge water slide down a big hill.  Looked like fun!  C's camera is still at Walmart getting developed (I wonder how much longer we will be able to use film and get it developed?) so I don't have many pictures of his time there.  This is about all I have:

Every year, C gets his picture taken with a pastor from another Indiana church.
He's such  nice pastor; really likes C.
Notice the photo-bomb.

He's home!

Run for Ronald

I think every year since Kalei died, Daddy has run the Run for Ronald 5K.  It's to raise money for the Ronald McDonald house at Riley hospital.  Daddy and I stayed there part of one night when K was in the hospital.  This year, C and I decided to run it too.  I can run one mile without stopping---if I try really, really hard (or if it's inside; it's so much easier on a treadmill)

We had beautiful weather.  Not too hot.  Not cold.  Sunny.  Daddy ran ahead of us and got one of his best times for a 5K.  C&I started out running towards the back.  We ran about half a mile before we both needed a break.  From then on, we ran then walked every quarter mile or so.  We finished in under 45 minutes.  That was my goal. We had a good time.  Hard, but fun.  I'd like to do more, but I hate running.  Therein lies the dilemma.

Cincinnati Teen Trip

The Friday of Day Camp, we went with the teens from our church to Cincy for a "road trip"  This consisted of a 2 hour drive to Cincy which included a bathroom break WAAAAYYY before I would have stopped, a Reds game, and a painfully long trip home (for me and C anyways; Daddy was upfront talking to the youth pastor).  Our seats were 3 rows from the back, all the way at the top, and above the score board. Oh well.  It was still fun (except for that road trip home).
