Busy Weekend

What a fun, busy weekend we had.  It was the annual all-nighter softball tournament.  JP and all his friends from High School get together and try to re-live the good-old days.  They did real well this year, even though Todd and I could not stay up for their last games on Friday and Saturday (2AM!).  We had a great time visiting, playing/watching softball, going to the lake, eating, and visiting some more!  Here are a few pictures of the weekend.

JP gets a hair cut.Jack gets a cut, too.

It was a beautiful day for the lake.  Everyone came and had a good time.

Late night S'mores in Dana & Todd's backyard. Zaya loved them!

The Tooth Fairy made a surprize visit. Sage lost her tooth Friday night.  She did not even cry!  She was so excited to get her Tooth Fairy money.

We were so sad that Shelly had to leave so early.  Ryan was sick and just could not shake it, so she went back home.

Our house is too quiet now.  We are getting ready for our trip to Minnesota to see Todd's family.  It has been so great to have so many family and friends come and go this past month.  Keep it up!!!  We miss seeing everyone and hope we can all get together again, soon.

Larry the Lizard

For the past few years, this particular lizard and his/her friend have been living in our backyard. They like to crawl on our 8-foot wall. We are hoping they make themselves known when Jack, Ryan and maybe some of their cousins arrive this weekend for the all-night softball tournament.

June Ramblings...

I've wanted to change this blog, but just can't seem to work up the energy.
We are 2 weeks out of school and it has taken that long to get into our "down time".  We've been sleeping in until 8:30 every morning and NO ALARM CLOCKS ALLOWED!!!  Last summer I installed thermal-type room darkening curtains in our room and it darkens our room nicely.  Arizona does not go on day light saving so Mr. Sun shines in our room at 4:30 AM and the birds start their noise about 3:30 AM.  So, with the room darkening curtains and a fan at top speed, we don't hear or see a thing!
 This week decided to hoover around 102 degrees, talk about miserable! Not ready for summer heat yet.
We've hosted and will yet host lots of family so far.  We had Paul and Deanne for one night at the end of May.  Daniel and Fiti came over for the day, and then Daniel got a job here and has been training and staying with us. 

Patsy and Tracy came this past weekend for her birthday.  We went to Antelope Point and played in the water, played hours of Wii and had a great BBQ with birthday cake.  It was so fun.

"What about the birthday girl?" Patsy, talking to our friend Joel on her big day!

Our friends, the Wardles, will arrive tomorrow for one night and come back for a few more next week.  The annual All Nighter is coming up with JP and family coming and anyone else that wants to.  Always a fun time. (If you like staying up all night playing softball or watching the old gang play.  We last until about midnight.)

We are heading to Minnesota to visit Todd's family June 24th.  Should be a nice time.
If anyone needs any lake time, come see us!
