CRAZY COUPLE OF WEEKS

We all had a wonderful 3rd and 4th of July. .......Actually, our fun started on the 2nd. Cousin Geoff came to spend the night with the boys on the 2nd. Eli was just so excited, and they stayed up till about 3am watching movies and playing PS2 games. On the 3rd, we went to our local lake for the firework show, and festivities. We found a grass area that was reserved for a group of marine vendors, that didn't show up, so we had a huge grass area to ourselves and one other family. We brought the little Webber grill, and cooked out, played ball, and we even brought a little inflatable pool, so Jacob could stay cool. We had a wonderful 4th. We spent the evening at Uncle Rob and Aunt Linda's house, for swimming and a bar-b-que. To top the night off, he had put together a CD of Patriotic music and the soundtrack to Star Wars, and que'd it to play along with the firework show, that we had an awesome veiw of from there backyard.



Then came 7-7-07......a day that was supposed to be full of luck......it didn't turn out that way for us. That afternoon, both, the AC in the mini van and our house stopped working. Keep in mind that we are in the middle of the summer and temps are reaching 117.....needless to say, every AC repair company has a long wait at this point of time. We were displaced from our house for 10 days!! Thank goodness Mom & Dad live close, and we were able to stay with them. Once the shock of the situation wore off, it turned out to be fun.....kind of like an unplanned vacation ......the boys were all thrilled to get to stay with them that long.



In the meantime, the boys just finished swimming lessons today, and they all did a great job! To celebrate, this afternoon, we went to see Shrek 3......it was a very cute movie. It was Jacob's first movie going experience, and he slept through the whole movie......so that meant, I was able to watch the whole movie!! On Monday, we'll be heading on vacation to Flagstaff to visit Dave's parents, and we'll be spending some time in Sedona as well.



.......UNTIL NEXT TIME.......LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST!!
