TWICE IN ONE WEEK??!!
Yup...I'm updating the blog....again!! I have been inspired by my other blogger friends and family to update more often. So this week (as we still wait for our pool to be finished....grrrrr) Jessica Baldwin and I took the kids bowling at the Santa Fe Station. Bowling always reminds me of Uncle Buck. They had rent-a-shoes! (and rent-a-foot disease) It was absolutely hysterical watching the kids bowl....and even funnier watching me try to beat them...and fail. Ellie even beat me the second game. The funniest moment however was when Ellie threw her bowling ball with all of her might and it landed in the lane next to ours causing the bowler next to us to get a gutter ball score. This wasn't the funny part however....as I leaned over to tell the nice people next to us what had happened and that they would have to reset their computer...I said "OUR daughter's ball went into your lane.....and...." wait...did I just say OUR daughter...I am terrified thinking to myself. I totally did...now the nice people next to us think that we are a lesbian couple with four kids out on a bowling adventure. Great.

Her hardest throw and we watched it roll for a good (long) 30 seconds.

Ellie and Riley love rent-a-shoes

Molly kept a very close eye on the score....

Jeffrey....going for the spare!

IT IS HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT!

It is waaaay too hot. Too hot to go outside and play. Too hot to be training for a half marathon. Too hot to have a hole in my backyard and NO WATER IN IT! Anyway.....Lots of action here over the past few weeks.....

We did some cleaning....which is much easier when we put kids up on shelves with the vacuum.

On the last day of school....the kids brought Orange Creme Frappuccinos for teacher gifts! Jeffrey's teacher LOOOOVED it! Molly dropped hers right outside her classroom before she could get it to her teacher. = (

She got over it when we got to swim at Corrina's house later that day. (Molly and Deseray)

Ellie and Jeffrey

the new FAVORITE thing that all my kids do.....jump rope!

I got to to out and celebrate my friend Joelle's birthday! (and drink margaritas!!)

maybe too many margaritas for Jess. (so flexible!)

Michael and I took the kids downtown for a mini vacation at MGM Grand
Jeffrey rocked the lazy river with cannon balls.

Hotel beds are so much fun!!! And oh yea...Jeffrey told our neighbor who is a hair stylist that it was okay if she cut his hair in to a Mohawk. ahem.

Molly insisted on wearing her sunglasses the entire time.....inside.

concrete and tile done on our pool....plaster and cool deck and we're ready to fill it!
