Fun with friends

Swimming, park, food, football speed camp, bike ride, milkshakes and  playing in the bath tub and night swimming sums up our 1 night stay at our friends house.

Pechanga Fireworks

Like we haven't seen enough fireworks.... And another great show to end the 4th weekend :-)) (3 shows for us) we went to Wolf valley park and enjoyed sitting and watching the fireworks come from the casino.  

Ha ha this is a screen shot..... I am sooo in love with Brian's iPhone 5 I take all our pictures on his phone when he's home and forget to send them to myself :-)))

Pool and Carne Asada

Friday we went swimming at Papa and Mimi Hicks and daddy BBq'ed Carne Asada.  Fun times, and the kids stayed the night.  Papa took them food shopping and to get doughnuts before they enjoyed a yummy breakfast Mimi made.  When Brian I got to the house in the morning there was doughnuts, candy, brownies, cheesecake deals, cinnamon rolls, bagels, lunchables...... And my mom was making bacon, sausage and eggs (whoa sugar and fat overload) but it was yummy!!!!!! 

The 4th

Brian had a 4 day weekend which just made our hearts filled!!!!! Thursday was the annual horse shoe tournament at the families.  On the 4th Angie and I always swam with our kids at her house then went to visit our hubby's and let the kids eat the pig they cook in the ground and then head over to my in-laws Church to watch the fireworks....... That tradition my sister and I did ended last year :-((((  last year was a blur so this year was heart rentching when it set in as I was sitting at the tournament with no real plans for the day...... So I sat around watching the family and friends play horshoes, kept track of my kids as well as Saylor and Scout and Mason, talked a lot with my sister Ali (I really enjoyed that) Brian lost after the second round of shoes so we decided to race home to catch the fireworks for the kids.

On our way to the horseshoe tournament 

Our little sugar dressed for Independence Day!!!

This is only about a 1/3 of the group this year playing.....

I lost track of Persaus at one point and after walking all over the property and about 30 minutes I started to really worry..... My brother in law got word from his cousin that Saylor and Persaus were taking back her dogs to the house..... When I got there Persaus was inside the goat pin..... I asked her what she was doing inside, and she said "I'm just roping goats" I laughed but was also worried because no adult was around....... Ahhhhh!!!!! And everyone wanted me to play horseshoes and I said NO because Persaus might saddle up a horse and take off!!!! Well I found her in with goats...... That's close enough lol!!!!!!!

The before picture of a food fight these two got in....

Jayden off with his cousins ALL day long- he had soooo much fun!!!!!

...... We were trying to leave but once again could not find Persaus, Brian and I set off to Gina's house agin to see if she was "roping Goats" but just passed the arena we see her blue and white shirt, her playing on a mountain of dirt.  And this is who she was playing with along with a ton of other kids :-))

 

Cousins and milkshakes

I picked up Saylor and Scout early this morning and we went to my friend Kyms parents house to swim and I was taking care of Kyms kids while she worked.  All 6 kids had so much fun swimming and swimming, making milkshakes, playing video games, baseball, watching tv and just enjoying the day

Then we went to Papa and Mimi Martinez house and I made yummy tacos for dinner!!!!  I am going to miss Saylor and Scout soooooooo much when they go to Holland!!!!!

Okay, okay, okay

I said 6 months ago I was going to be on top of my blog.......... It's just hard when it comes to writing and thinking about my last post and actually the last few posts are about my sister.  I can't explain how much I miss her.  My life is not the same without her here.  I am back home for the summer in California, hoping to catch up on all my Instagram pictures and turning them into blog posts. :-)
