New Front Entry

It's been a busy summer for us!  Camping, sports, and...yardwork!  We put a sprinkler system in our back yard!  (Yea! No more hand watering the lawn! Thanks for the help Rick, Kyle, and Cade.)  And, we put in a paver path in our front entry! 

We discovered that we were the only house in our whole neighborhood that did not have a path (separate from the driveway) going to our front door.  Our original house plan has a sidewalk...wonder what happened to that?! :) So, over the years, everyone's just had to walk through our front flower bed. 

But, mud and bark no more!  We have a very beautiful front entry way (thanks to alot of help from my Dad and Uncle Scotty)!!! We've received so many compliments and have really enjoyed it!  It's added a whole new dimension of class to our house!  We love it!

Our First Nephew!

Baby Edward Lawrence Cornelison is finally here!  Our first little nephew was born Wednesday, June 2nd at 12:58 pm.  He is 7 pounds, 4 ounces and 19 3/4 inches long.  He's a cutie! 

My New Toy

I work w/ alot of dirt-bike and atv junkies...and they talk about riding all of the time. And I have friends that ride (or have ridden) motocross. So, I figured it's my turn!

I've actually wanted a motorcycle or 4-wheeler for a long time, but haven't been able to afford it. But, an opportunity came up to get a bike for a really good deal...so, I took it! So, I am the proud owner of a 125cc, 4 stroke dirt-bike!

I took it out for my first run on the dirt a couple weekends ago at Balanced Rock. My dad is a motorcycle guy, so I asked him to take me so he could help me out. I put on all my cool gear and hit the dirt for some fun!

I'm far from being great...but had a really good time riding! I even braved a hill!

Look out motocross...here I come!!! :)

Soccer...softball...summer...well, almost...

Curtis and I have dived into the world of city league sports (again). We signed up for indoor soccer and continue to keep playing when new sessions start. This is our 3rd session so far. Who would have ever thought that we'd ever be indoor soccer people?!
Curtis plays goalie a majority of the time and is amazing at it!!! But then again, what isn't he good at!?! (He's great on the field too!) My favorite place to play is defense. I like trying to steal the ball (or at least stop plays) from the hot shot guys that have been playing forever. (It's fun to steal the ball from someone w/ alot more experience.) :) I don't mind being a forward, but would like to be a little better to take that position on full-time. I did score my first indoor soccer goal ever, three weeks ago though! Woop-woop! :)
As for softball, the season's almost half over, but Curtis's parents team needed players...so, we signed up! Curtis has subbed a few times this season and the teams he's played for have loved him because he's so good! He's hit a few beautiful home runs that just make peoples jaws drop! (Once again...what isn't he good at?!) We're excited to be playing! And the team we're playing for is pretty laid back and out to have fun. They've already talked to us about playing the fall season w/ them as well! Softball is always fun!
Summer keeps peeking around the corner here. So, we'll probably be hitting the golf course quite a bit too.
And w/ fall comes a whole new slew of city league sports for us! Look out sports world...here we come!!!
