Joey's Birthday Celebration

Heavy, heavy hangover-thy poor head---

Nice shirt!

---what do you wish this person---

---with a BUMP on the head!

"YEAH!"

Happy birthday to you!

14 big ones!

Golden batting in a run!

We changed pitchers...hmm... maybe we would rather have the other one back!

Hit the ball Cloe...

"We want a pitcher, not a belly itcher!"

(actually, we just want someone who knows where to pitch the ball!)

Water Baseball

We like to play Water Baseball.

We usually use baby wading pools for

bases, that way we can slide around a little more

when on base and it is especially fun when trying

to get someone out. We use plastic bats and a nerf ball

that is soaked in water. That helps even out the

batting. Even the big guys can't hit it too far! This

game was spur of the moment so we used boxes

instead of the pools. It brought a whole new element

to the game and we had a lot of fun!

Papa, Cloe & Bethani

Run Cloe run!

Safe!

Ready for anything

Bethani is safe!

This is a catcher?

Cloe is safe!

Hey bat!

What is wrong with you?

Do you have a hole in you or something?

Ok, ok, so I am bad at this...

I am. I know it. And lots has happened since I last posted. I will try to somewhat catch up. SO keep watching!

Some of our history

As far as I know, most of the Golding family records were burned in the Civil War. From doing a quick search I have found them coming to America from several countries, Russia, Germany, England and France to name the most common. The Burnett's have a little more general information, one source saying the name is a Scottish and English name derived from an old French word 'brunete' meaning brown. I also found a cool book, "The Burnett Name in History". It has facts, statistics, and commentary about the name "as far back in history as possible". Whether it is about 'our' Burnett's or not, I guess remains to be seen. The Shelton side, is mainly Danish and some Scottish. The Pickering's are English; and the Smith's are Irish and Welch. What a mix we are! But that is what makes us the crazy, lovable family we all have grown to be. More recently, Dad's side is from Utah through and through. Mom's side is mostly Utahn, with just the one California renegade. :) Amazingly enough, we have great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers from Alabama(Dad's side), and Pennsylvania (Mom's side). I'm not exactly sure where in Alabama, but Mom's ancestors are very close to where Staci and Isaac are. Kind of interesting how things revolve around the past isn't it? So there's a little history in a nutshell, and hopefully at some point there will be lots more to come!
