we love summertime…

August 6, 2009

but we love it even more, when the granums are in town!

i know i boast about my neighborhood, but i really just love the memories our kids are going to grow up and have of their childhood. i adore these women and with the granums in town we are non-stop fun.

play. play. play.

one of our first stops this week-

cowabunga bay
!

we ended the evening with a family dinner at tucano’s, and a date night for the adults at “the ugly truth.”

volleyball nite

July 29, 2009

number four!

funny story about our champions-picture. after our first round in the volleyball tourney, we THOUGHT we were the champions. had our celebration. took a picture. THEN we found out it was double elimination tonight. whoops. but that’s OK, because we still ended up being the CHAMPIONS! totally rocked. good karma!

i didn’t get very many pictures tonight. my camera was passed around, but not put to use. bummer. and our action shots were all blurry, not sure why, but by the end of the night my camera was back to normal.

first big story of the night?

Gordy SAVED me when i was trying to get my grill lit, he came over to help and just about six inches in front of me as i was right over his shoulder, we had a HUGE gas – fire flame! i’m saying, HUGE! Gordy singed his hair. eyebrows. eyelashes. and gotee. yep, he saved me! the picture below does not do justice to how singed he was…
