It's been a busy few weeks for us. Last weekend we went down to Arizona to surprise my Pa for his 60th birthday. He was very surprised. It was a short visit but it was great to see everyone and lounge by their wonderful pool in their beautiful backyard. It was next to impossible to get Calvin out of the water.......he was rather "pruney" all weekend. We know he can swim if he would just venture into the deeper water. We're planning on putting him in swim lessons here soon. Zach loved the water too, he starts swim lessons this Wednesday. I'm hoping he enjoys them.
Next up was Zach's 2nd Birthday. It was rather uneventful. We didn't plan anything too special. We went out to eat at Red Robin on his actual birthday and when they came to sing him Happy Birthday he was none too pleased. He cried and didn't even finish his ice cream. A few days later we had my Vegas family over and had my "blue ribbon chili" and some cake. As you can see from the video above he again wasn't thrilled with the whole singing thing. He loved his present from Gramma Cheri and Grandpa T though.......a golf kit. He was busy hitting the little balls all night. Until I broke out a cd of music my Grandpa Bill recorded many, many years ago. Then he broke into a dance........he has his mama's dancing gene! He hears music and his body can't help it's self. See video below.
Finally it was the 4th of July. What used to be my favorite holiday back in the good ol' days in Apache Jct. I remember the water balloon fights, fire hose fights, sack races, fireworks and Jess being on the front page of the local paper sitting in a tree with the caption "Unidentified boy watches fireworks from tree". This years celebration wasn't as extravagant but just as fun. We went over to our dear friends Eddie and Sandi's house and had burgers, hot dogs, wine, beer, chips and pasta salad. Fireworks were going off every where, it seems everyone in the neighborhood had some. It was really quite festive! We watched the big shows from their balcony. It was a nice mellow affair without having to fight any traffic, just the way I like it.
I have yet another update on our stupid house situation. It seems again we WON'T be moving (for now any way). Not only that, we now have to start paying rent again! Grrrrrr! Long story short...the house was about to be foreclosed on because the different departments at the bank didn't communicate. Now as of part of the short sale the mortgage has to be paid until the sale starts the final process. WHATEVER!!!!!! I sooooo wish we had about an extra 2 grand so we could get out from under this damn mess that isn't even ours!!! It's so annoying!!!!! It's driving me crazy!!! It changes from day to day, week to week. I HATE IT!!!
Well, that's about it for us. Besides the house frustration all is well. We are eagerly awaiting September for our fun filled family vacation in fabulous Puerto Penasco, Mexico. Believe me when I tell you I am counting down the days!!!! Sun, Sand and Margaritas!!!!! I can't wait!!! Ok, back to reality Kelli........
Love you all!!!
