I'm so emotional - out of nowhere - and I'm blaming it all on being pregnant. Thursday I shuttled sick girls home from girls camp. I had to stop the car 4 times for vomiting on the side of the busy freeway. One time was in a Hobby Lobby parking lot.
Friday I got in a tussle with a park worker (way to long and boring of a story to tell you why). When he was done talking to me he said "your welcome", it really startled me and so I replied back with "I never said I was thank you". I often think rude things in my head but rarely do they come out.
Saturday our friends gave us their VIP tickets to the city 4th of July celebration. As we were entering they turned us away because of a huge storm rolling in. I was so looking forward to being a VIP and I lost my chance, good parking, free food and all.
Today I had to teach my lesson on overcoming opposition. I know my little trials are so lame, but still, it seemed a little ironic. My life seriously is a cake walk which makes me feel even worse about my bad attitude.
On a funny note: tonight when I put Mason to bed I told him I had three words for him 1- I, 2- Love, 3- You!! He replies with "Mom I have four words for you 1-Fireworks, 2-Poptarts, 3-(something I couldn't understand) and 4-tent". So maybe he didn't get my point but it really made me laugh, just like he does so many times everyday!

Florida, Swim Lessons, Six Flags
So if you found us you've realized I've delayed way to long again to blog and that we're now private. I hope you feel honored to have been invited. I really have to catch up on the past little while in a long boring layout and then maybe someday I can post something interesting again. It really is so much more fun to read everyone else's posts that I get carried away and run out of time to put anything down.
So here is the fast run down of the last month.
Florida - Chris and I took a premature 10 year anniversary trip to Florida. It was the most "real" vacation I've ever been on. It was the first time I've been somewhere without any agenda, no schedule, no one to meet up with. It really was the best!!! We stayed on a resort right on the beach, rented a convertible, drove down to the keys, went snorkling, ate delicious food and just relaxed.
Swim Lessons - Charlotte and Rozlyn just finished up a few weeks of lessons. My kids might be the slowest learners ever when it comes to swimming. This time around we made huge strides! They both are now comfortable going under for a long period. Actually swimming will be our next step. The pool has been my escape from the heat so far this summer. Our community is the best with the max depth at 3.5 feet. Our friends pool is almost like a big splash ground with the max depth at 1.5 feet. This way they have fun playing around and I don't have to worry so much about anyone drowning. I also enjoy my browner then ever skin I have. I really think tan skin automatically makes me look 10 pounds smaller which is a real plus in my third trimester state.
Six Flags - Yesterday we braved the heat and took the kids to Six Flags with their cousin from Palestine, TX. It was so hot and there were so many people. My kids loved it and had a great time. Each time the kids went on a ride that Mason and me couldn't go on we got to go eat as many treats as we possibly could and hide the evidence before they returned. Another highlight was the streaker that was arrested right in front of our eyes. We were walking along when some police stopped the traffic to escort a man out of a theatre wrapped in a small sheet into the police car. The man next to us explained that he stripped down in the theatre, made a huge scence, kids everywhere, not pretty, you get the idea...one police man was carrying out the shed clothing. Chris offered understanding for the guy by reminding us all just how extremely hot it was outside.
Here are some pictures. The whole gang.
My two favorite boys in the world!!!
I'm loving this summer. I can't believe it's already the last week in June. Slow down time, I'm not ready for a regular schedule anytime soon.

Weekend Hangover
Really this post was for yesterday but the system was down. Chris was out of town for his nephews baptism which left me on weekend duty. It used to be when he was gone I loved putting the kids to bed early for some "me" time but the older they get the funner they are to hang out with so it was the opposite this time around. On Friday we blew up the queen size mattress and did most of our eating, playing, movie watching (and a little bit of sleeping) right there. Mason was the last one to sleep both nights. That kid is going to give some boy scout leader nightmares in the future. He really could pull an all nighter if someone stayed up to talk to him. When we were just in Disneyland he usually was the last one to sleep in the hotel, occasionally poking and pushing on me and Chris.
Saturday's agenda was as follows:
1. Sleep in
2. Breakfast at McDonald's - play a long long time
3. Target for fun swimming toys
4. Swimming with the Marsden's
5. Swimming at the Twin Creeks Pool
6. Bath's, Dinner, Jammies, Movie Party
We had so much fun!!! It really makes me look forward to summer, only two days left!!! I'm really sick of the routine, getting the kids to bed each night and getting them up in the morning when all any of us want to do is sleep in, eat late and swim all day.
Of course we were so glad to have Chris come back and since he feels like he missed out on all the fun we're blowing the air mattress up one more time for the last day of school and he gets to join in on the fun.
