Happy birthday to my longest and bestest buddies!

ennazil, It was so great to see you this summer! Looking back through pictures I couldn't stop laughing at some of the things we used to do....and wear! Hope you had a great birthday!

Kristy, I love you! You are always good for a great laugh and fun times! You're the best!

I miss you Carla! We had fun back in the day! A word of advice, never sit in front of her while sledding in the same sled.... :)

"Excuse me, I work here so I will help you..."-Andrew

That is what Andrew was walking around saying to people after the kids workshop we did! It was pretty cute!


Here he is hard at work hammering. We sanded, glued, hammered nails (and my finger), and made a bean bag toss game! Thanks for the FREE project Home Depot!


And look at this wonderful dad taking his kids when his wife was out of town! (Your kids are too cute, Amy!)

Guitar, bass, drums, friends, microphone, candy, laughing, popcorn, cookies, singing, ice cream, phase 10....

All parts of a fun party! We had a last minute come play at our house party the other night. Of course, Rock Band was the main event! We have some pretty intense rockers in our neighborhood!


Myles jamming on the guitar while April serenades us and Derick tapping away on the drums! Shakierra had fun playing the guitar too.


Bet you didn't know how hard core Branden and Alex are! And that Brad, he is intense!


Jose showing Damion how to play. That little guy sang on the microphone all night long too!


Matt, Mr. One Man Band, was trying to sing and play the drums at the same time!





My little brother, Andy, came too. Ya, he has mad guitar playing and singing skills....


Me and Branden hanging out while Leisl, my new cute sister in law, shows us up on the guitar! It was a fun night! Thanks for coming over guys! We will definitely be doing this again, and soon! And if you want to come, you're invited! (As long as you bring a treat :)

Tomato anyone?

I should have known after I picked a bunch of tomatoes from our garden NOT to leave them out there for a little while. I came out later that evening and look what the kids had fun doing! At least they weren't all over each other, right? Well, the next day the neighbor girls came over to play and they all decided to have a tomato fight! I am so mad I didn't get any pictures of that! They were running around throwing them at each other! They were covered! The only rule, they had to clean up all the pieces out of the grass when they were done, which they did!





Brina, Katie, Andrew and Lizzie pre-tomato fight! They all seem to migrate to the smallest pool and neglect the sprinklers!

Ashley being cute in Andrew's sunglasses.

Once again, sorry for the underlining, don't know why it is doing that...

Highland Splash Park!

My neighbor Angie invited us to go to the new splash park with them! Andrew had fun playing with Nick and JJ, and Ashley was in her own little world crawling around on the rocks and up and down the stream! Thanks Angie, it was fun!

(sorry, don't know why the pictures are so dark and why the words are underlined!)
