Ivy placed second in the county meet!

Grant and Trinity had a joint birthday party in early August so my mother could be here for it. It was a race car birthday party. Fun was had by all (except for those who were too cool to participate, or were working).

Guess what? Ben had my cable to the card reader ALL this time! It was in his backpack! Now I can show you the pix I've been taking. I know you are sitting on the edge of your seat there. This post is wildly out of order. I apologize, and I might add that I do not have time to fix it. I get to go out for lunch today! Without bringing extra short people and with my friend. What? You want proof? HMM.

I will try to post more pictures of things that happened this summer, and pictures of Anna, Ben, Joel and I at the SARAH PALIN rally! No promises for a timeline though, the laundry is competing for my attention.

Savannah took pictures of Ben and Joel's Cross country on Tuesday, then Ivy's on Wednesday. The "it's all in who you know" system at work here. Meanwhile, or should I say, afterward, Ivy astounded us with a second place finish of 12:37. Yes, that's two miles folks, and she is all calm and collected. See Savannah for the action shots.
