The Baxa’s

To round out our busy Saturday, we had Jake and Luke over for awhile on Saturday evening. Jeff had them for the first two hours, while I was at April’s house, helping with the canning. They had a really good time playing outside. After a quick McD’s dinner (Jake had to have a DOUBLE cheeseburger, and Quinn wanted a Big Mac!) we got some pj’s on and hunkered down for a movie. By the time Kim and Vu returned, we had lost everyone but Jake. Man, I think that boy could stay up all night!

After our VERY early start Saturday, with a 9 am football game, we headed up to the Farmer’s Market. This is where MY day got very hectic. I called April, because I found some peaches there, and she’d been looking for some to can. Of course, this wasn’t just a quick yes or no phone call, I had to keep asking the guy a million questions and calling her back. Then she asked if Jeff & Quinn would like to go to the racetrack with Greg & Myles – in like a half an hour! Sure, ok. Then I tell her I can bring her peaches to Ella’s dance class, where I would also drop off Madeleine to go home with them to play. Then off to pick up Josh at a friends house! Phew. What started out as a day with a football game, ended up with many plans. 

Anyways (got a little off track there!) the boys had a great time at the races. I guess the little boys were only interested in the cars for about a 30 minutes, then they were just busy messing around as little boys do. Quinn came home filthy dirty, with black knees from crawling around on the bleachers. 

Well, Flag Football season here at the Baxa residence. Josh is once again playing flag football this year. It’s really fun to watch them play, and watch their abilities grow from season to season. In the league this year, there are some really good throwers and some really good catchers (mind you, not necessarily on our team ) so, it should be interesting! 

Well, we finally did it. We finally broke down and let Josh get his own pet. He really wanted a bunny, but that was not to be. They are quick, and have sharp nails. So, we settled on a guinea pig. He is super cute and adjusting well to his new home. 

So, meet Blaster. Josh’s brand new pet. 

This first photo, I just couldn’t resist. It was too funny. Josh was freaking out, afraid that the flash was going to give Blaster a heart attack! Too funny.

Phew! Blaster made it through the picture. All is well…
