Hey guys lets see if I can be smart enough to make this work. This is a paintball video Chris and I put together for our paintball field.

Ok blogger wouldn't let me add anymore pictures to the post below so this is a continuation of the last post. You might wanna read it first lol.

This is Trent. He wears pink ;)

This is Chris or Mr T. He's our friend this one is not my husband.

And here are a couple pictures of me. I was doing most of the picture taking but Chris managed to get this one of me and then of course one of me walking off the field after being shot.

We had so much fun this weekend playing paintball. Saturday we had open play out at the field it was pretty fun but today we had airball practice and it was a blast. I took some pictures and Chris took some pictures so here you go!

This is one of my husband Chris.

This is a picture of one of the kids who played airball today his name is Colton. I love this picture I'm not sure why. This kid is so awesome he's only 12 and plays paintball really well.

This is a picture of Tim. I was trying to get a picture of the balls shooting out of his gun but I missed. It's still a cool picture though.

This is Ryan and our clean Airball bunkers. Chris and I have been trying to get all the bunkers on the field clean. We have to use oven cleaner to get all the old dried paint off them.

This is Mark. I felt so bad! I accidently shot him in the back of the head when he was on my team! It was a mistake I swear. I was shooting at a guy and Mark moved up and my gun does this thing called ramping where it shoots two and three balls each time you pull the trigger. I didn't see him move in time to quit firing and then when I moved into my bunker the gun was still firing and all three shots got him in the back and the head. He probably hates me lol.

Brett Aubrey

Logan Bradley

Emily Gayle

These are pictures of Emily's ankle six days after she sprained it. She still cannot put any weight on it and the doctors reviewed the X-Ray's again and said there are no breaks. Tomorrow summer school starts and I am going to go with her to see if she'll be able to make it through the day.

On to a happier subject... We had a really fun weekend. Every Memorial Day we get together with Chris's family at his Dad's farm for a big fish fry. It was a lot of fun and great family togetherness time. I only regret that my Mom and Stepdad couldn't be there with his kids. They had come out the past two years and we always had so much fun picking berries and fishing. I miss them a lot, but I bet fishing is a lot better in Hawaii ;)

Emily got to be pushed around in a stroller all day :p

Logan Keeping Cool

Brett trying to escape as usual.

What a week! I don't even know where to start. Last Wednesday is when it all began to get crazy. I posted a nice little post about my garden and how happy I was and then got the urge to go out and pick gooseberries. So I loaded up the kids and we took off to Chris's dads farm outside of town. We were having a ton of fun picking berries, Emily and Logan were playing around climbing tree's and Brett was eating the berries :p... Then we found this bush that was just loaded down with berries. So I got to pickin' and Emily found a really cool tree to climb.

Well it didn't take long... I heard a snap and looked up just in time to see Emily falling out of the tree! She had tried to go out on a limb and it was dead so of course snapped right off. She only fell about five feet but that was all it took. I seen her hit the ground with her left foot underneath her. She cried of course as any child would and I helped her limp over to the gator. The gator is an ATV four wheeler type thing that we can ride around the woods in.

Well I thought she was just a little shaken and would be ok and she said she felt ok so I went back to picking some more berries before we had to go. Well even though she said she was ok she kept on complaining and whining so I went back and checked on her and noticed her left ankle was swelling up really bad. I loaded up the berries and the kids and we headed back out of the woods to the van. Chris was at the shop building cleaning paintball barriers when I got there and I told him we needed to go right away and take Emily to the Emergency Room. So we took Brett and Logan to Grandma Judy's house and headed for Springfield with Emily.

When we got to the Urgent Care department they took X-Rays of Emily's ankle and couldn't see any fractures thank goodness. So they wrapped it and told her she should be able to start moving it around in 24 hours and in about 48 hours she should be able to start putting a little weight on it and walking around. Well it has been almost a whole week and Emily still refuses to use her foot at all. We have to carry her everywhere we go and she just crawls around the house. Her ankle is still swollen and badly bruised. I will post some pictures I took when we get home.

I took her back to the doctor today and they redid the X-Rays and once again said there are no fractures. They gave her a special brace to put on her ankle and I don't think we'll be able to get it back off very easily. Emily screamed and cried when I put it on. Summer school is starting this Thursday and Emily really wants to be able to go, but I just don't see how she will be able to if she can't even walk. I am trying to get her some crutches to use so she can get around better but no one has them in stock they have to order them. Hopefully by Thursday Emily will be able to put a little weight on her ankle at least so she can walk.

I am so excited!!! I was so sad and disappointed this year because I wasn't doing a garden. I didn't do one last year and the year before I tried for the first time and nothing even grew! Chris helped me put out a really nice garden this year. We borrowed a tiller from my Uncle and Aunt and Chris worked his butt off getting the ground behind the house all tilled up. There were, and still are tons of rocks to pick up but we got some fertilizer put down and plants in the ground. We planted 7 tomato plants, 2 habanero pepper plants, 6 cucumber plants, 6 sweet bell pepper plants, 6 jalapeno pepper plants, a row of onions and green onions and a row of green beans. We had some problems with the rabbits eating the plants but Chris put up some fence and now the rabbits are out of luck.

Here is Emily helping water the garden.

This is Emily watering her watermelons that Daddy let her plant just for her and Logan.

Here are my hard workers LOL poor Brett was so dirty and he got hold of the gas can and spilled gas on himself so we had to strip all his clothes off him.

Logan looks beat. He got hit in the head with a rock when we were throwing them out of the garden... He started watching where he was running after that poor fella

I am very proud of my garden and I'm so lucky to have the greatest husband who helped me! I couldn't have done it without his help :D

Emily has graduated from kindergarten... I can't believe how much she has grown! She is such a sweet, smart little girl. She was awarded a certificate and a gold medal for her books that she read. She also won a certificate and free ice cream certificates for having perfect attendance all year. It was really sweet, she won like four different gift certificates and gave away three of them to some of her friends in her class that didn't win anything. I am so proud of how thoughtful of others she is and how kind she treats the other kids.

Lauren, Dominique, & Emily

These are two of Emilys school friends.

Emily was so embarrassed over all the attention she was getting with all the certificates and perfect attendance. She's a humble child ;)

Emily receiving her book award certificate.

This is some of the kids from Emily's class posing for a picture together. There was so much commotion going on that some of the kids got left out of this picture.

Emily was sad to be out of school. She says she is going to miss her friends and her teacher Miss Lenz. I am so proud of how much she's grown and I couldn't ask for a sweeter little girl as my daughter. Summer school starts June 1st and I almost didn't let Emily go because I wanted to be able to spend time with her this summer. She really wanted to go and she even got Miss Lenz as her teacher so she is very excited and looking forward to going. They do lots of activities and field trips in summer school and I know she will have lots of fun.

Thursday was a long day for me. My youngest sister Mandy was graduating and I had to be there! She lives six hours away so I left Missouri at 9:00 AM and drove to Hydro Oklahoma! Logan and Brett came with me. It was a really fast trip, no problems at all. We got there and I was so excited to get to see my sisters Mandy and Misty. I also got to see Mandy's mom who was my stepmom for a long time, about 13 years, before her and my Dad divorced. She now has three small boys besides my sisters.

So here are a few pictures of everyone BEFORE the big graduation ceremony. You will have to excuse the red eyes. I am using my new camera and haven't quite got all the settings figured out yet, and I'm too lazy to fix them on the computer right now.

This is my sister Mandy posing with my niece Macey who is Misty's oldest daughter.

This is my sisters Grandma Shirley and my other niece Mattie who is Misty's youngest daughter.

Here we have Mandy in her curlers :p

This is Misty & Mandy's Mom Brenda also in curlers ;)

I Love this shot. I couldn't get many good ones because like I said I am still figuring out the settings on my new camera but this one is just beautiful.

Here she is! I'm so proud!

Another really pretty picture. She gave me a flower I felt so loved :p

This picture is cute. It's Mandy hugging her little brother!

Me and My sisters :)

I look so horrible from my six hour drive :p but here's one of us all. From the left is my Dad, my little brother Clayton, Mandy my sister, ME, Misty my sister and her daughter Macy and Mandy's little brother Tyler in the front.

Mandy and her Mom

So after the graduation ended I took off back to Missouri... Yes another six hour drive. I got home at about 4:00 AM... I was stinkin' tired. I'll be goin' to bed early tonight :D
