The Braatz Family: Update on all of us

All the boys are doing great! Bailey is finally done with baseball after his last tournament this last Saturday, it was fun to watch him, but glad that we get a bit of a break until football starts! Brady also wrapped up tball a few weeks back, it was also fun to go to his games too, I think the kids learned alot from all the coaches and had a fun season!

After a rocky start to summer, the boys are enjoying the rest of their summer vacation! The are alway busy doing something or going somewhere and just having a blast! It is funny how well they are getting along most days anyways. I think now that Brady is older and not in that "baby stage" Bailey likes to include him and actually play with him. They also love to play with Owen and sometimes fight over who gets all of his attention and who can play with him. I just have a feeling they are all going to be pretty close and good buddies! Bailey completed football camp last week, I think he learned alot from it and is excited to start the season, his sitter would know better though, for Bailey would make her and Brady play football with him everyday afterwards! I only had to play a few times!

As we speak Rodney is on his way home from Sturgis. Him and my brother left last Friday morning on thier bikes. We talked to him a few times, and sounded like there were having a good time, could of did without the rain though. The boys and I had fun while he was away, we made trips to the library, went to the park, to the river, every kids favorite - McDonalds, Cannon Crusin' days, we ordered pizza and I let them build a fort in one of our trees - they loved that but still have some finishing touches they need to add! It was a fun week, but also exhausting, so I think it is my turn for a mini vacation! Too bad I won't ever take one! LOL

As far as "Stacy" goes, not much on my end. Just having fun with the boys and enjoying life. My next project is to paint our kitchen now that I have Owens room all finished. I plan to have it painted by Owens birthday party, so that gives me 1 month to complete that task!

As far as the rest of the summer goes, it has been pretty busy so far and even though things have slowed down a bit, we have a few more things to do this summer. We are taking the boys to a Twins game, it will be Brady's and my first game, so that should be fun. Sometime we have to squeeze in Underwater World, I got free tickets from a co-worker, I think Owen will love that!

So that is the Braatz family in a nutshell, life is wonderful and I am so thankful for what I have and who I have in it!

Until next time!

Talking on the phone!
