July 2011

July came and went - very quickly! Here is what occured:

The 4th - of July that is!

We spent the 4th of July parading in Melba, eating yummy taco truck food in Melba, napping at home, watersliding, eating, firework watching at grandma Elaine's house. It was a fun family-filled day! Happy Birthday America!

Disneyland

Disneyland deserves it's own post so that will be coming soon but we had a lot of fun!

Jeremy's birthday

Jeremy turned 33 years old on July 12th. I can't believe we are in our 30s. It really doesn't feel any different then our 20s. The only signs of our aging are in a few gray hairs (Jeremy - not me :)), a few eye wrinkles, more sun spots and a few more aches and pains. We celebrated his birthday by going out to Fuddrucker's (his fav) and then heading to his twin brother Jesse's house to have dessert and gifts. It was a fun evening!

 

Books Read

Unbroken by Laura Hildenbrand - AMAZING story!! I'm not even going to give a synopsis due to  the fact that everyone should just read it. It is a historical biography about a young man's life and experience during WWII. One of the best books I've ever read!

The Hunger Games - I read the first book on my way back from California and quickly began the second book, finishing it a few days later. Crazy story - a little futuristic - and I normally hate those kind of books or movies but this was so entertaining and I look forward to the movies coming out next year.

Katie's birthday

My sis turned 29 this year! Wahoo - I can't wait for her to join me in the thirties! We had fun celebrating at my parents house with her best friend JoJo.

Movies

Took my kids to see "Mr. Popper's Penguin's" with aunt tee-tee! It was very cute and the kids enjoyed it.

 

Work

I did spend one day this summer at work - like really at work - like I got paid to be there and - work! Crazy huh? Well, the 4 day work week that is quickly approaching has made many of us teacher folk become a little aggitated and aprehensive about how we are going to fit all of our curriculum in. So - we worked and figured it out and now feel a little better about things.

July was busy and fun!
