June Birthdays


Happy June birthday to:


Mom,


Steve,


Ethan,


and Cassidy.

I really hope I didn't forget anyone.  I can't find my calendar right now.  Happy birthday to all of you!  I hope you have a spectacular day!



Fast Fact Friday: Justin


Have you ever broken:

A window?
Yes, playing baseball.

A bone?
Nope. :)

Someone's heart?
Nope.  And never will.

Someone else's prized item?
Yep.  List is too long to write.

Your cell phone?
I went through about 6 chocolate phones.  Now I have the indestructible and I love it!

Fast Fact Friday: Ashley


Have you ever broken:

A window?
I don't think so?

A bone?
Yes.  My toe.  I was babysitting Burke and Annie and dropped a plate sideways on my middle toe.  It bruised all the way up to my ankle, and I could only wear flip-flops for a good month.

Someone's heart?
Yes.  I still feel terrible.  So I went on a date with a guy a few years back and I wasn't really interested , but kept on texting back to him to be nice.  I remember him asking me if we could be more than friends and I said no.  Which is fine, but it happened to be Christmas Eve.  I hope he still had a good Christmas.

Someone else's prized item?
I ran into Mom and Dad's house once . . . with their car.  

Your cell phone?
Hahaha.  I have sent one swimming in a toilet, sent them angrily flying through the air, chased kids in Shopko until it flew out of my pocket, bounced three times and shattered into pieces.  Interestingly, I have only ever broken one phone completely.

Fast Fact Friday: Cassidy


Have you ever broken:

A window?
No.

A bone?
Yes.

Someone's heart?
Yes.

Someone else's prized item?
No.

Your cell phone?
No.

Fast Fact Friday: Jenny


Have you ever broken:

A window?
Not that I can remember.

A bone?
My pinkie . . . thank you, Emily!  We were fighting and she kicked me.  I tried blocking it and her kick had some power to it.  :)  Don't ask me what we were fighting about because I can't remember.

Someone's heart?
I hope not.

Someone else's prized item?
I am sure I have and I am sorry.  :)

Your cell phone?
Yep, on more than one occasion.  :)

Fast Fact Friday: Sarah


Have you ever broken:

A window?
No.

A bone?
Yes, my collar bone and my shoulder blade.

Someone's heart?
Too young for that, but Daddy says I'm a heart breaker.

Someone else's prized item?
Yes.  My piggy bank . . . Rest.  In.  Pieces.  Mr. Piggy.  :(

Your cell phone?
No, I have never even owned a cell phone.

Fast Fact Friday

It has been a CRAZY week!  Thursday was grandparents day at school.  At the beginning of the year we decided to record all the kids' performances and sell a DVD on grandparents day.  Well, things kept going wrong this week as we tried to make it and I spent a lot of hours working on it.  It was really kind of funny by the end.  Anyway, the reason I am telling you all this is I haven't had a chance to send out the questions this week until now.  I sent them to as many as I could on Facebook.  As soon as you get the answers to me I will post them.  
Also, don't forget the family reunion on August 4.  I'm hoping to do a post with more information on it soon.
