Every thing is wearing out...

It seems like all our fun stuff in old and tired so we have to buy new...We found a washing machine and dryer that we liked and Tim called TJ and said hey can you stop by to help me unload the new washer and dryer real quick...Of course he said yes...but the kids know when we say real quick there is usually nothing quick about it. Here they are bringing it up the stairs.Almost there...
The washer is in...

Now the dryer...

Ok who is going to crawl back there and hook it all up...

At least they are having fun...look at them laughing!!!

Just so you know... Terriebeth and John came and helped move them once, and then Tabitha has been over to help move them also...and yes they were real quick things also. ( wink, wink)

Mother's Day Lunch...

After the race we headed out to get some lunch...Caleb is just kicked back for the ride...A big smile for Grandpa
What are you getting? ( yep look in the left hand corner...doesn't waste time)

Tatem working hard on her work sheet! So cute

I'm not doing anything...

The III, John and Hollie....

TJ

What is that I see??? What does he have in his hand....

The III and John...

Terriebeth and Tatem...you should not be playing with that...

I don't have anything...just a piece of bread.

I'm trying to cut it!

It is hard work...

That is knife boy!!! He is to funny! The other kids go for the crayons and worksheets and he goes for the knifes...should we be worried!!!

Thanks for a fun time everyone.

Yahoo...Lets take a trip down memory lane...

Yep once again..I have the pictures in the wrong order...so for a few we will start at the end...this is the finish line..Tim is that little dot on the left in front of the for lease sign.Ok now he is on the left getting a little closer...
Starting to sprint....

TJ is on the right...white shirt blue/black pants and sun glasses

The III is on the left...the short one ;o)

John and the III on the left.

John and the III getting a little closer...

Across the finish line....

Ok this one is back to the beginning of the race...you can see TJ and Tim, right by the pink shirts

Finish line again...I love the look...Great job guys!!!!

Ok, it won't be that far of a trip but I'm a little late posting Race for the Cure pictures. Here is the Spratts getting their numbers on...do you think two of them don't trust two of them since they are looking over their shoulders to make sure they don't get poked with the pin?I'm guessing this is...you really are leaving me with your crazy family again...please walk with me.. You will be ok!!!

Caleb is ready to go...get some last minute tips from Aunt Tabitha and Colleen. Shade man spying in the background...seeing what tips he can pick up to help him ;o)

The runners starting line...Tim, TJ, John and The III are in there somewhere!

Tatem and Caleb showing off their style!!!

Wait you have to go like this...try it!! So cute!

Here is Tim almost done...ok not almost but he is headed back...anything look familiar about his legs?? Do you think that is where Tatem gets running straight legged from? Seriously, how can you run with straight legs?

Here comes TJ...

There is the III still going strong!!! What a trouper!

They were going by so fast we almost missed them so here is a from behind picture of John and the III

Here is our family picture with Tabitha's friend Ann who we sponsor when we run/walk! Thanks for letting us be on your team!

Tatem throwing a football for milk!!

The III throwing a football

Look at that form...right through the hole!

Caleb's turn...I love the hood thing...the rest of us are dying of heat and he has his hood on! Crazy boy...

We are done and headed back to the car, and I thought it would be fun to walk through the trees, instead of all the people..

Fun family times....

Can't wait for next year!

Good Thing....

Yes it was a good thing we had our trees thinned...here is a branch that fell on our deck in a little wind storm...glad it was only a small one...Good thing no one was out there at the time....
Maybe just maybe it was the squirrels way of getting back at us for taking their playground and food storage???

For it's one, two, three strikes you're out...

This is Tatem's first year playing...look how excited she looks.

I just need a little drink...it was either burning hot or freezing cold out there no in between.

Cute 3rd base man!!!

It's up to bat time..

And again....

Look at that face ;o0

Getting some 3rd base coaching from Dad.

And she is off...

Short stop!

Running for the ball being thrown in...

A few words of encouragement from Mom

2nd base...

Yeah I'm ready....

Yep it gets boring sometimes...

So how is your day going?

3 of her #1 fans....

Umm I think you need to run here....

Fixing the glove...

Our reader and sun bather....

Batting line up!

Don't you love their bench ;o)

The reader and sun bather again...

I don't know why I find it so funny...that all he does is read...not bad for a 1st grader. He will cheer on his sister when she is up to bat or he hears she is making a good play!What no book??? Ha,ha,ha!

Look at her staring down the ball

And she hits it.....

Some advice from the coach...which gets "I know my dad told me that" ;o)

running to second...

running to 3rd...where her favorite 3rd base coach is...

Ready to run home...

Just missed the ball...I love her braids....

Here comes another one....

Swing....

Dust in the eyes day...

Running to first...notice her legs...we will come back to that soon...

Just hanging out on first.

Team huddle...

She cracks me up!

Ok we are back to the leg thing...look at her form in the next two pictures...

Where did that come from....striaght leg run...to funny!!

Almost home...

Ok I know that there are a few more pictures of Tatem then The III but that is because

1) I forgot my camera most of the time

2) Some of The III's game we cancelled and I couldn't make it when they rescheduled them

3)It's me!

Good Job Tatem can't wait for next year!!!
