Today is Father's day we all went to the horse race track. It was soo hot that day. Here's a pic of what we gave Joe for father's day. I went and got pictures of James taken for Joe and my Dad. James was in a Navy uniform.

They tried their "rally caps" but it didn't work. They are out of the playoffs and the 2009 summer baseball season is over.

(Note: The photo was such a perfect shot of 'Boys at baseball game' that it looked to me (Maureen) like they were posing for a Rockwell painting, which made me want to see what it would look like in black & white. Thought I'd add the b/w version here for everyone to see. Nice shot, Marla!)

My friend Margaret's son, Mike, competes in demolition derbys. He builds his cars in our barn. Today he competed in Metal Mayhem in Oregon, IL. Jesse, Lance, Madi & I went to watch. Mike's car is 883, the tan car. He qualified in that race to compete in the finals. But, there were many races after his and the kids didn't want to wait until the finals, so we left. On the way home, we had to stop in Hebron for a helicopter to land in the road. There was a motorcycle accident. When we finally got through, there was a dead deer by the side of the road. I think he may have hit it.

Remember Madi's jellyfish costume from last Halloween? I emailed a picture and description of the costume to Family Fun magazine. They emailed back and told me that they LOVED the costume and wanted to use it in their Oct. issue and pay me $100 for my idea! I don't think that they will use Madi's photo. Looking at last year's issue, it looks like they credit people for their ideas, but make their own costume and use their own models. That's ok. It's still cool that my idea is getting published!
