And Rachel :)

Teaching Ashley how to do this :)

Hopefully someone will update this more often now :)

HOT! Holy Crap it's hot!

So Sammi and Ashley had their last soccer games today. Sammi's was at 10-11 am and Ashley's was at 11:30 - 1pm. It was so hot after Sammi's, we almost didn't go to Ashley's. Ash was a trooper and played 3/4 of the game. They lost, but ALL the girls were beat from the sun. I wasn't even out in the sun that long and my melon got burned. Thank goodness I brought the fold up tent. I think I was the most popular person today :) When I got home - the temp on our little thermometer was 99.4! It is in the shade....I started working on the patio (for the inflatable pool we are going to put up) But it is way too hot to get much done. I got one more side done before calling it quits (it is a 20' "diameter" octagon) Hopefully will get pictures up soon of it and the kids........

Kelly and Rachel are in New York at a dance class (for Rachel). The Vipers dancers all went up to a professional dance studio in New York. I think someone knows someone or something like that - else I am not sure why they would need to go to NYC. But it's quiet around here :) Ashley was invited to a last soccer game/birthday swim party. Picking her up around 7ish.

Last day of school was yesterday. Went to Sammi's kindergarten graduation. It was really cute. Sammi won the award for most BARK bucks (given by teachers or bus drivers for good behavior), most athletic (for always doing cartwheels outside) and best helper. Ashley and Rachel had awards on Thursday. They both received many - but Ashley received one for most improved in Language Arts. Thought that was really cool :) So as a reward (and since we were not going to NYC - we went to see Kung Fu Panda. It was really funny and entertaining. Even if you don't have kids - it was fun to watch.

I have too many pictures

But not one of the whole family together....I shall try to remedy that.

Congratulations go out to Rachel and Ashley - both on the honor roll again! Ashley is on the distinguished honor roll for the first time ever! Way to go girls! We are very proud of you!

Thanks mom and dad for coming out and helping while Kelly was in Vegas - couldn't have done it without you. The girls are all wondering when you are coming back, but they really want to go to the lake ;) We will try for August I am hoping......

Testing the blog....

Going to try this, because it seems like it is a great way to inform peeps on how things are going in our lives.....
