Reminder

I just wanted to remind everyone to go to Chili's on Monday, for donate our profits day. This is a really good cause, and we could really use everyone's help to raise money. And be sure to bring a dollar or two to donate. Thanks.

Kyle's Birthday

For Kyle's birthday I talked him into riding the frontrunner down to The Mayan. We hadn't been for a while and I figured it would make it an adventure for the kids, who had never been there. What a terrific idea!! We left here at 6, it was a two hour ride down. My children, not that excited to ride the trains. What a disaster! Kiwi hated it from beginning to end. And Gavin tried very hard to be good. But he was tired and hungry. So, we finally get to the darn place only to be told it was an hour wait. So, I grabbed a handful mints off there counter and let Kiwi run around a waiting area, as though she was parentless. (Well, I followed her to keep from going outside. But I really didn't care at this point what she was doing as long she didn't get hurt.)
They really enjoyed the diving and watching "real" Indians dance. And then we got to do the whole thing over again. Only this time we had to sit outside the frontrunner station a half hour waiting for it to come. And because it was the last train of the night we sat inside for another 40 mins. Waiting the last of trax trains to come in. Finally on the way home everyone slept but me, and we got home 12:30. So, we were gone 6.5 hours for a meal. Yay! And poor Kyle had to get up at 5 for work.

Gavin's Birthday

Gavin turned 5 on the 10th. As you can see my lovely parents gave him a drum. Aren't they the coolest grandparents ever??



He had a lot fun putting together the race car track with Kyle's parents and sister, Courtney.



Since Kyle's birthday is so close to Gavin we had them share the cake. The amazing part was I actually had enough candles for both them. Kyle turns 27 on Saturday.

Not Fair!!

I'm venting!! It's so not fair, not only does Kyle get to be paid for going to S. Cali. He gets a free day there, becuz of a trailer problem. What am I doing? Cleaning out the stupid crawl space, and unclogging toilets. Oh, and while I'm on a roll. NEVER, EVER tell your waitress that she is a good waitress. WE DO NOT WANT A VERBAL TIP, THAT DOES NOT PAY OUR BILLS!! I think I'll called Rocky Mountain Power and say, "Thank you for your electricity, I really appreciate." And see if my power bill magically disappears. I'm glad people think I'm a good waitress. I'd rather they show me, instead of tell me. 20% people, is customary. If you can't afford to tip, then you can't afford to eat out. It's that simple. Well, I'm off to look at the pix of sea lions Kyle sent me. And then its back in the dark hole for me.

Cute

I the website where I buy our Christmas cards from was doing free shipping in the month of August. So I dressed the kids in some warm weather clothes a took some pix. They turned out pretty cute, even tho Kiwi was ready for her nap.



This one is my favorite.
