June 3, 2008

i love everything about it…

…my kids are out of school, gardening, swimming, popsicles, the water park, bike rides, going to any Lake, parades, festivals, motorcycles, 4-wheelers, baseball, BBQ’s, badminton, fresh fruit, etc,

…but, one of my favorites…

is hanging out with friends –
and sand volleyball!
please forgive me,
but I must tease Caryn about this – take note of her stance in every picture below…





KJ was sound asleep on a lounge chair half-way through the evening. He had played so hard all day that even in the middle of all this fun,

at the Rhodes…

It seems,
that all of us who took pictures either really suck at action shots…
or the camera we were using sucks.
Or… maybe we didn’t have any great volleyball shots.
It couldn’t be the last one, we’re all really good! hehe.

Anyway, I thought I’d share a few pictures for the value of entertainment. You can decide who makes the best/or worst faces while playing…

Myla’s dance coach, Cassie Ford, is going away for the summer. We are going to miss her SO much. She had an end of year/going away party for her companies tonight. She is such an amazing woman. She went all-out and made each of the girls a Memory book from the 07-08 season! We love you Cass!

{{{She’s also our leading scorer on Red Iguana’s, so we can’t WAIT for her to be back to play this Fall!!!}}}

Party like a Rock star!

party~We played “name that tune,” and these kids were amazing. Most of them knew all the top 40 songs, who it was, and the name of the song in the first 3 seconds it was played! We had a “Battle of the Bands,” lip syncing contest! We put the kids into 6 bands, they had to choose a song, lead singer, back up singer, back up dancers, guitar player, drummer, etc. We video taped this too, it will be so fun to watch later. Then after all 6 bands were done the kids voted. Myla & Ezra were the band that won! They did SO good! It was cute &
