Great day...

We had a great time at the pool today with lots of friends!! The kids had a great time and I did too.... fun things going on to finish up summer!!! Only 9 days left of summer!!!

Went by to see the house tonight and have a few new pictures... it was WAY hot here today... heat index of 115 so we didn't spend much time at the house... but here ya go! Again - compare to last Monday pictures!

On the second floor - looking over the garage...

Its been a few days since I updated... so I am a little behind with things... so this post is going to have quite a bit...

Camryn went to camp last week too... CHEER camp - which is right up her alley... on Friday they had the BIG performance and awards... and boy did they peg my daughter correctly... (she said its a good award?!?! any former cheerleaders out there?)

Camryn and her buddy Paige... with their awards....


On Saturday we went to the NEW pool at the country club. It was just finished this week... and we headed out there with the Holtz's for a day of fun in the sun!! Aside from the cold lunch it was perfect...

Colby and Jake

Camryn and Drew (read more about Drew here)

Ryan and the best swimming aid for tots...

and the new pool - which we loved!!


While we were at the pool... Dean celebrated his Uncle David's 65 birthday by playing golf at Bellerive Country Club... even though this was David's birthday... it was a huge deal to Dean too, its a really nice course, not to mention they all even got party favors!! Each one of them picked out a shirt from the pro-shop... After spending the day at our pool, I came home, cleaned up and waited for my ride.... we then met the guys at the club and had a wonderful dinner... I had lobster and it was so yummy!!! After dinner our ride picked us up again and we headed back home!! We had so much fun and David was VERY surprised!!! Dean and his dad gave him 18 golf balls, numbered with 6's and 5's and made him hit a new ball on each hole! Well - after one picture at the club my camera battery died... uggg... Dean's aunt had her camera so I might post some pictures at a later date... anyway here ya go....

This was our ride... it picked up the guys in the morning... came back and got us and took us home... so fun!

The only picture I got before my camera died... this is me and Dean's mom...

We went to see the house....

So yesterday we went to see the house. Dean, Camryn and I got in the car and headed to Marisol... Camryn said what are we doing - I said going to see the house - Dean pipes in with - you mean our hole where we will have a house. Ha Ha Ha funny guy. So we ran by the Kunkel's to pick up Colby and then Colby said - where are we going... I said Marisol to see the house and Colby says - you mean our hole.... How can there be 2 of them - Dean thought it was soooo funny and I thought oh God help me! DRY humor here! Here is a picture of our house... I mean the hole!

Now I know that isn't that exciting... but it sure is for us!!!!!! It's progress! And just think you will see the entire house being built picture by picture....

An update on the week... Dean was in NY again... left Monday after we signed papers, I went shopping and even bought a few things for the house, I am redoing Camryn's room - and I even worked on a project this week.... here is the final product... I made it... can we say she's crafty?! Camryn picked out the fabric - which I love but was surprised she liked it too... it was her favorite of all the choices I gave her... yes I did limit it to about 10 fabrics....


... Tuesday we swimming at the Legends Pool with friends.... Wednesday we went swimming again at Union's pool with some other friends... Thursday I had to work from 12-5 -- It was a pretty yucky day weather wise... The kids both went over to friends house.. so that was nice.... and last night we went out to dinner with a group of people... funny story - we went to El Nopal... we got out of the car... and Dean had a beer in his hand (I drove, not Dean).... this lady asked us if we were going to eat there and we said yes why... she said well I just saw that beer and wanted to let you know they don't have any drinks tonight!!! They "let their liqueur license expire!" (we think there is more to that story though!) When the group arrived we made a decision - that a new location was in need! Who wants Mexican Food without a margarita - so we had to change locations.... and off to El Maquey we went!

Happy 4th of July - I hope everyone enjoys their day... we are headed to The Peter's house for their annual 4th of July Party... so fun... I will post pics tomorrow...
