Let's go Brownies!

Here are some pictures from our game today! Matthew and his team are doing so great! Their record isn't great, but the boys are learning a lot and are having fun! Matthew is QB and is loving it..but actually loves to play anywhere just so he can play! This boy is all heart! He LOVES the game! Donna everyone is commenting on all our Browns attire. Might have to take some orders and have you buy us some shirts & stuff. Can't much Browns stuff down here!

Mike's visit

"Big Jet" and all of us!

My cousin, Mike Robert, flies a jet for Pella Windows. He called yesterday and said he would be in town today for 3 hours and wanted to meet for lunch. Matthew, Luke and I hopped in the car and drove over to watch his plane land (even though his co-pilot actually landed) it was SUPER COOL to watch. I got to hear him talking to the tower while we were in the lobby waiting for him to land. Matthew said to me as we were walking up to the lobby "Mom you are so lucky to have a cousin who flies jets" and then he said "and I am cool too because I get to meet him!" He was so excited...so was I actaully. Amy, Garrett and Connor made it to the airport just after he landed, but Mike brought us over to his jet and we got to go in to see how the cool people fly! It was incredible! The bathroom toilet lid was covered with the same leather that is on the seats! How cool is that?

We then jumped in the car and went for lunch. We decided to go to this restaurant over at Desert Ridge that one of our clients owns. I had only been there once...about a year ago...well I didn't remember exactly where at Desert Ridge it was. I was driving around looking for it knowing Mike, who was in Amy's car, was probably FREAKING out...and he was! I finally found it and atleast they got to see what cool stores are over at Desert Ridge for the next time they fly in and need to buy their wives a gift or something! :-) See I am always thinking! Thanks Mike for the visit and the tour!

Matt playing his DS while we were waiting...he was pretending he was catching the ball...he was playing Madden 2009

Mike taking Matthew and Garrett out to "Big jet!"

"Big Jet" that is what I decided to call his jet...for those who watch Little Einstein's...

The Bathroom...

More outdoor fun

Here are a couple more...mostly so my mother-in-law, Donna, can see the boys.

Just another day at the Casey's

It started to cool down a little bit and the boys were playing outside. Here are a couple video clips of them playing...they are short!

My Cakes

A couple of weeks ago, Matt's school had a cake walk and a cake auction. I made these 2 cakes for the auction. I wanted to do one for Matthew and had to do a "girly" cake, too. It was fun playing with purple & pinks!

Back it Up!

This is a PSA (public service announcement)! Make sure you back up your computer data! I had an external hard drive that I had all of my data on. Thought I was being safer by putting all the data on the external HD in case my C-drive crashed. Well...I think I have some type of computer virus, because if anything can go wrong on a computer it is usually my computer. Any way, TJ had backed up about 2 months ago so I haven't lost it all, but I have no idea what I am missing. Oh well...you live and you learn! The sun will come up tomorrow! :-) Thank goodness that I had uploaded a lot of pictures to ofoto.com and also on the blog and that my photographer, Amanda, has made. You can go to her blog and click on her labels for the boys and see more pictures there. Anywho...TJ I love you and am in no way blaming you for this little bump in our life freeway! This is just a great learning experience and I just wanted to share so others can learn from our mistakes! Now go and back up your computers!

I'm an Aunt? Mom? Step Mom? What?

This past weekend I was looking at the fish in our fish tank and I thought one of the mickey fish ( they are called Mickey fish because they have a black mark on their tail that looks like Mickey's ears) was very fat. I said to Matthew "oh my goodness...I think this fish is pregnant!" TJ came home and said the saw the fish was large, but thought he ate one of the other fish since it is missing. (fish are weird). Anyways, tonight, TJ was cleaning out the tank and as he was sucking up all the fish poop & such he said "You were right" (somehow, I never get tired of hearing that)! There were baby fish swimming around. You could barely see them, but we saw at least 6. He thinks they won't live long since TJ fears the Molly fish are going to eat them. (fish are weird). Just trying to post events in my life so I can eventually move that picture of me in my uniform off the page! Ha ha!
