What have we been up to?

So it has been a little over a week since my last post and I think I am due. I was just going to update on what we have been up to. Last week was Jarod's last week to help coach a little league team and I think they finished in third place. He always has so much fun with the kids and would rather do that then play softball. And since he is getting "older" his ankles seem to give out on him so easily. Which is pretty frustrating at times for him b/c he loves his sports. But coaching is rewarding for him and the kids seem to LOVE him! He is always a hit around kids...I feel so boring to them when I am with Jarod. haha. Talking about sports. Jarod and I have played tennis a couple evenings at the school. This is something we enjoy doing together and it is a good exercise! We never played in high school but have grown to love the sport together.

Last week we also stopped by Jarod's old house on the highway to see how the couple that bought the house have been doing. It was nice talking to them and they are such a nice couple. They even have another little one on the way!! Going back to a home you spent so much time at brings back so many GREAT memories:) And I love to hear what they are doing to the house and the changes that occur each year. I am just glad they are enjoying living there!

Then this past week-end we went to Ellis Park. Jarod didn't know if he wanted to go at first and at the last minute we decided to go. I am glad we did and we both have always wanted to go to a hourse race to see what it was like. I mostly wanted to go this past week-end b/c I heard they were having camel and ostrich races. How funny would that be?! Admission is free and they have picnic tables, bleachers, and you can even bring a blankets to sit on in the grass. It was packed but there was still a lot of room. We met up with Keith and Jessica for a little bit which was nice to see them. This place is a great place to hang out with friends and family to relax and have fun! We watched some horse races and the camel race but didn't want to wait for the ostrich race...we were hungry and wanting to eat at Texas Roadhouse (yum!). The camel race was hilarious though....they are not meant for racing. haha. On the way home we stoppped by my parents to visit with them and then came back home. It was a great day!! On sunday we ate at Jarod's aunt for lunch since some of his family is here from Florida. It amazes me how much kids change in a year's time. His cousins look so much older and are taller! It was great seeing them and hopefully we will see them tonight or tomorrow before they head back down to Florida. Hope everyone is enjoying the summer!! Even though it has been a weird summer.... 70 degrees and rain:(
