Grandpa Ritner, Check out My Golfer's Grip

While looking over some pictures from last week, I came across this one of Addy and realized she must have learned something from Grandpa Gary (the scratch golfer in the family) when he was here last week. Look at her interlocking her grip! Now we just need to show her how to hold a club.

Naughty Naughty Addy...

Who taught this to my daughter at such an innocent age! I want to know. Uncle Dan Mac, are you responsible for this?

You Heard it from Einstein Himself!

Picture Frames...25 cents. Baby Girl....priceless

The yard sale was a success, but we didn't break last years records. JKA only made $58 and Aunt Susan and Uncle Len made $550. A little morning rain slowed down the traffic around 11 but the bottom line is we didn't have as much stuff to sell as last year, which is good news. Momma keeps a tight ship upstairs in our attic. The big news of the weekend was that we have bought a new used car to replace Kristyn's Buick which failed inspection and has no air conditioning. God totally hooked us up with a car within a week of deciding hers wasn't worth fixing. It is a 1991 Camry, with a new engine and transmission that only have 70K miles on them. Pictures of it later in the week. Kristyn is most excited that it has AC, a CD Player, and most importantly...cup holders. Ah the little things in life!

BTW, the blog made $.75 this weekend, that could be almost $50 for the year! So keep clicking on the advertisements and searching the google bar when you need to search.

Future For Sale

Saturday morning we are having our yearly garage sale with Aunt Susan and Uncle Len who live in town here with us. Last year they made over 700 bucks selling their antiques that they collect in Maine over the summer. We made 150, enough to buy the digital camera we use for the blog. This year we have already had people putting notes in my mailbox asking to see the items in advance so they can get a head start. Somehow I don't think it is my old PS2 games and extra little league jerseys they are coming to see. We will tally up the numbers for you on Monday. My prediction, JKA make 125 (although we are trying to sell Kristyn's Buick Century) and Sue and Len make 600.

Speaking of money, YOU can help put Addy through college just by visiting her blog. Every time you click on the advertisements on the right bar, or use the Google search bar on this page to search the web, Google makes a deposit into Addy's AdSense account. The search bar accesses the same information as Google.com. Whatever is in the account at the end of the year, we will invest in her 529B account for college, where it will double, and triple over the next 18 years. So click away and help keep Mom and Dad out of the poor house and ensure that Addy doesn't have to go to Phoenix University Online.

Baby Barista

Addy and Daddy have a little morning tradition of making coffee together while Mom gets an extra hour of sleep. We go downstairs at 7 and brew up some Seattle's Best French Roast and relax on the counter top until 8:30 when Dad has to get ready for work and Addy takes her morning nap. Here's Addy lending a helping hand. She gets a little caffeine contact buzz of the grounds that I spill on the counter, which as you can see, makes her pretty alert in the morning.

Addy's Big Day at the Doctor's Office

Addy had to get her dreaded 2 month shots this morning, but she was a trooper and was easily soothed after the 4 shots in her legs. Here she is showing off her cool colored. band aids afterwards for the camera

Breakfast at IHOP

Grandpa Didi and Great Grandma Berkey were in town this weekend so Monday morning we all met up for some pancakes and soy milk.

"Somebody has been sitting in my chair" said the little pig.

Dad came inside from working in the yard Saturday to find Addy watching TV in HIS CHAIR! What was she thinking. Here is Dad sneaking up on her...


Sneaking up closer.....Haha-Caught in Dads Chair!! Now somebody is going to get it!!
