Only three more days....

Last night Tierney informs me "only three more days until we get to pick up Tay". Yep we dropped her off at camp yesterday afternoon and by bedtime last night Tierney was missing her. Oh how I wish they would remember that when they are home together and fighting! Tierney has been a big help with Roscoe since Tay is gone and is stepping in. I think that's good for both of them since they both miss Tay. Tonight we are going to go watch Tay's basketball game so at least she gets to see her big sister! And she said that she got two mom days (mom to herself) and then she gets two dad days since I go to work tomorrow. She just makes me laugh!

Perkins Cousins 2012

Tierney Softball 2012

Here is Tierney's softball picture for this year. She is really excited for next year since she gets to travel like her big sister!

We just dropped Tay off at Wartburg for a basketball camp. We pick her up on Wednesday afternoon. Their schedule looks pretty intense... their day begins at 6am and some aren't done until 10pm. We are really hoping she learns a lot and have heard really good things about this camp. Parents are also allowed to go and watch their games at night so we plan to do that one or two nights this week. I am hoping that seeing us during the week won't let her get homesick this time! Their rooms are also really nice as they are suites so all four girls are basically in the same room with two separate bedrooms so that should be good too!

Getting ready to leave for camp.... Tierney isn't too sure about letting her sister leave.

Rachel and Tay

Tay went to the U of I volleyball camp for three days and two nights in July. They got to stay in the dorms. It was quite the experience. The first night they didn't have power for awhile and Tay said it was gross because everyone was so hot and sweaty. She seemed to learn a lot and had fun but I think was a little homesick by the last day. She says she is going back next year.

Christmas in July

My grandma and grandpa do their Christmas celebration in July since they are gone most of the winter. Here are the girls and cousin Hailey with great grandpa Bill and great grandma Arlene.
