Cousins Sliding Together...

Matthew's first with Audree in line...

Yeah!!!





Adylin showing Audree how it's done...

The kids are just having fun and taking turns on the slide.

Matthew, Adylin, Audree and Tanner. It got a bit crazy

when a bit of pushing was happening..



Dinner is Ready... Time to Eat!!!




These kiddos got wild...
Then we wanted to shut things down.






But they finally listened.
And played well together.

During the whole moment, it started to rain outside and then...







Pretty soon it was time for Audree to get picked up by Mom and Erik.

They went over to Grandma and Buggahs house before going home.













Dinner was over. Time to go to bed. Goodnight Grandbabies!!!

House update...
*yes, we still need helpers* I run out of steam before I begin and that is sooooooo helpful... NOT!!!

We moved a load or two over to the Barn this weekend (thank goodness Margaret is willing to share her storage area in her back yard with me until we move)

Our place is looking better all around, inside and outside. Mike and John got some of the sprinklers replaced and the water is getting to all the spots now (no more brown spots the size of whales). We moved the swingset to the sandy area.

I am hoping to get the sign up in the next 2 weeks. The treadmill still needs to go, the master bedroom needs to have the headboard unit taken apart and moved out and we need to move the computer out of the upstairs bedroom and into the bedroom off the garage.

Then, we get the carpets cleaned and stage the house and the sign goes up...

The market has slowed down, but that is ok... we are not in a big hurry to move out.
Still don' have any idea of where we are going (hehe)...

Margaret has the pool up in her yard... it's been a hard fight to get it up and running (still has moments) but it seems to be doing better this week, FINALLY!!!

I can't believe that Tanner starts 1st grade in 16 days. Lexie will have her junior high introduction day the first of August, to find her classes and meet some teachers and learn how to open a locker. Seth is going to the same school, but for the first time without a sibling. He is going into 4th grade.

Everyone is getting older and moving on to bigger and better things. Isn't it exciting!!!

I can't believe how fast time is going right now. I seem to never have enough energy to meet the daylight hours of a day, but I don't have enough daylight hours to get things done... Oh well, this to shall pass... and then we get on with doing something else...

Went to the "New" Mayan and saw Hannah working...had a GREAT meal and the entainment was good also... try the pork balboca wrapped in a banana leaf served with pinapple salsa and sliced sweet potatoes... the house hamburger was good too... the divers were good, the drums were fun... Deidre, you need to go before you move... it was fun.

Enjoy YOUR kids and grandkids, for they grow up and move along to other things...have fun every day...

Audree's 4th Birthday Party with Daddy

It looks like I am ready to grab some gummy worms and pack a lunch of ham sandwiches and off we go to the closest fishin' hole.

I've got my chair, my pole and all I need is the sunscreen and the "OFF" with deet to keep those pesky mesquitos off my princess soft skin...

My Aunt Margaret came with her new friend, Joey. They got me sand toys to play with. I love them so much.

Can't we just go outside and play right now?? The sun is still up? Oh well, first light tomorrow... then.

Stephan, Ellie and Damion were all here to share the food, fun and cake with ice cream. Gramma and Poppie were great to share their home with all of us to have Audree's other party.

John made the cake... it was very moist and good. It was also very ...

RED AND PINK.

Good colors for a little girl, don't you think!!!

She had 2 of them... one with mommy and her family and friends and then one with daddy and his family and friends. That is pretty lucky to get TWO parties... just for Audree.

We wanted to invite Tanner, Ady and Matthew, but they were on vacation in Newport Beach, California with the Strong family. We wanted to invite Alexis and Seth, but they were in Tempe, AZ with their dad, Uncle Kirk.

So, we just invited those in town and not with other things to do...

it was fun and then we were done...

Kisses and Hugs all around

Last kiss goes to Daddy.
But she is a quick kisses, so we had to plant this one longer to get it on the camera... silly girl...

This was Audree's 4th Birthday at her Daddy's. We are now onto her # 5 Birthday, next year...
