Yes, I'm A Slacker...

These pictures are from last weekend. We had a bday party for Tom & Jason. We bbq'd and swam and enjoyed a delicious ice cream cake. Here are some cute pictures of all the Dunford grandkids. They hated the fact that they had to stop swimming for two seconds and let us take pictures of them. It was hard to get them all to smile at the same time.


Then we raced over to Grandma Bonhams house to celebrate more birthdays. No pics, sorry! But there were 3 adorable puppies that my brother had brought down from Snowflake to sell. All the kids did that night was play with the puppies and plead, cry and beg their parents to buy them and bring them home.
Then, this Saturday we enjoyed going to our good friends, Dena & Paul, home to celebrate Jaida's first birthday with them. It was a Strawberry Shortcake party. Lots of people, excellent food, fun swimming and the cutest little one year old you have ever seen. She is a doll. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera. We had such a good time and I wish I had some pictures of it. The Gazeley's are one in a million. We are so fortunate to have them as such good friends and so glad to be living close to them again.
Yesterday, Kelli, Gary, Kaitlin, Grandma, Stephanie & Haylee came over for Sunday dinner. We had Gulash, yum, and red cabbage and Kelli made us ice cream blizzards for dessert. We had a nice evening eating, playing games and talking. I figured out that I am not good at a game called Encore (thinking of songs) and Jens is very good. The only downer of the evening was when Briggs and Haylee ran into eachother. We ran to see what had happened and saw Haylee holding her nose, blood dripping everywhere. It took a while for her nose to stop bleeding, but it finally did and she was okay. The poor girl looked like she had been on a set for a horror movie and Briggs was crying harder than she was. He wasn't hurt, he just felt bad. I think he was scared because I had just asked them to stop running in the house....."someone's going to get hurt!" Sure enough......
So, now it's back to school. Briggs and Reagan rode their scooters to school, all by themselves, for the first time today. I was very hesitant and having that weird feeling like I've forgotten to do something. I'll feel better once I see them home again. Ahh, they grow up so fast.

It looks like your house is the party house. If I lived in AZ i would come to your house too. Looks like your settling in ok and adjusting to the heat. I went out with Amy this weekend and had so much fun. Same ol Amy. Im jealous that your kids are in school-and that they can get themselves there and back. LUCKY

Kristin, I was just thinking the same thing, now that we are back to a normal routine, we need to get together on a weekend. Bryan still feels bad he was on a scout outing the weekend you moved in, he is the master-mover.We'll call you.
