Golf Outing Fun!!

What a weekend......we helped host our third annual golf outing (see links on side for more info on the outing) and it was a great success!! It was soooo hot, but with a slight ;) breeze the day was actually bearable. Amanda was in town to visit, so she got to drive me around the golf course. Thankfully Joe prefers to walk, so he was fine with walking the course and letting Amanda ride with me. Thanks Honey!! Afterwards a few of us headed to the bar for a 'few' more drinks, which turned into a 'friendly' game of volleyball (of course the girls won!!). Then we headed home and Ross and Alyssa came out, then pizza was ordered, and more drinks were consumed.....which lead to swimming in the rain!! Yes, we were all pretty exhausted!! Can't wait for next year!! :)

Our team....plus driver :)
The outing Committee (minus Kay)....Will, Trina, me and Joe.

It's on now....
Post boys getting their butts kicked in Volleyball!! p.s. this is Johnny, one of Wendy and Frank's friends that played in Frank's place since he was not able to be here.
It was a love/hate relationship. ;)
Looking fabulous after our victory
Kiss it boys
The ride home....a little chaos....
We made a pit-stop at John and Kay's because there was a promise of fire-works....none were to be found, so we drank a few beers and headed out to meet Ross and Alyssa at our place.

Skinny butt....poor sponge bob
Ross brought over these goggles....not sure why yet. But we thought it would be funny to take everyone's pictures wearing the goggles......hey, there was a lot of beer consumed, don't judge!!






Then there was swimming....I have 'proof' but didn't think the ladies would appreciate their pictures posted here in their underware, so you'll have to take my word for it with this picture of the splash off the end of the dock.
We were supposed to be 'voguing' here while 'camera ross' rocked it.....apparently Wendy didn't get the memo!! :)
Ahhhh.....Good Times!! Perhaps we'll have to 'plan' on this for next year after the outing.

Old Man

This summer we've been visiting the Old Man quite a bit.....he's got a garden the size of my house, so we've been taking full advantage!! And the kids enjoy going out and pulling the veggies we want and running through the corn. :)

It's Official...

He's only been talking about doing this for about...well....5 years now!! Joe hardly wears his wedding band because of his job, so he wanted to get a band tattoo, for when he's not wearing his actual band. I thought it turned out pretty cool. :)

Sleeping Beauties....

The kids were sooo tired the other day when asked if Ella wanted to go to her bed, she said no. Then proceeded to bring everything in her bed out to the chair and sleep there. The only thing she left behind was the sheet....only because she couldn't get it off the bed!! :) She's too cute. I love it when the kids are so whipped they just pass-out where they are.

Bring on the PARTY!!

Pretty sure these kids are ready for the weekend........ :)

Thanks to all those fighting for our Independence!!

HAPPY FOURTH EVERYONE.

Meet George.....

:) the kids decided to name this dragonfly george!! This was the largest dragonfly I've ever seen, so of course I had to take a picture. Then we caught it to give to a guy I work with who's daughter will have to start catching critters for a bug collection for school. :) For some reason that's fun for me now!! Didn't want to do it in high school for myself......go figure.

R a Ndo M

Well, we've been a little busy lately......not really sure with what.....just life I guess. Lots of playing outside enjoying the swingset and pond. Taking in some golfing!! Over the weekend my mom treated the whole family to an outing to a TinCaps game! It was really hot, but sooo much fun. The kids didn't really pay too much attention to the game, but had fun in the bounce house and watching the fireworks afterwards. Thanks Mom!! Then sunday night Joe and I took the kids to see Toy Story 3 at the 'sky movie' (drive-in) as Evan calls it!! They really liked the movie and actually stayed awake for the whole thing. That's our life right now.....exciting or not.....I love it. :)

Happy Father's Day!! :)
