Weekend Round-Up

We've enjoyed the company of Wes, Christy, Jake, DB, and Sophie this weekend. Inexplicably, the 24th of July just isn't a big deal in Arizona, so the kids were excited about the celebrations.


I daresay it's impossible to get a decent picture of 5 small children.

Kiki and Sophie are cut from the same cloth. Same love of potato bugs, same desire to build a shoe box potato bug house, same shaggy hair, same killer instincts. RIP, potato bugs.

Technology is a blessing because it means we don't have to talk to each other.

Kate "sparkles."

Jake, Sophie, DB, and Kate.
Kiki loved the sparklers, she just didn't want her picture taken.
"You all are lame," said Bruce.
"Let me show you how sparklers are done."
Yesterday was action packed. Kangaroo Zoo in the morning, Mi Ranchito for lunch, swimming in the afternoon, and treats from the ice cream truck at night. I assumed it was an "Ice Cream Man," but no, it was an "Ice Cream Lady." See, gals, all doors have opened for us.

I'm a personal fan of Bruce's sparkler twirling talent. Do you think he'd send me an autographed picture?

I am amazed by the lack of excitement for the 24th of July everywhere except Utah. One of the guys at my sister's work was incredulous that they didn't get the day off of work.

Hey, I am waiting for my email forward. I forgot to put that it is a huge recipe and it makes 8 dozen cookies. But, I can assure you they will be all gone before you know it.

At last, my dream job is now available. Honestly, the sound of the ice cream man's truck gives me the hebbie gebbies. I don't know...I must have seen a scary movie about them once.
