I love Sunday afternoon naps........

I spy with my little eye

Max was eating breakfast this morning and spotted these deer right across the street at our neighbors house. He said there was 3 but by the time I made it out with the camera there were only 2. Too bad I did not have time to put on my zoom lens. Max was out with his binoculars trying to spot more.

Zing Zang Zoom...

We took the kids to the Circus on Saturday and had a lot of fun. It was Zing Zang Zoom and it was a magic show. They made an elephant disappear and made the bad clown turn into a tiger! Max thought the magic part was a lot of fun. Kate really liked the dog show and the kitty's(tigers).She thought the tigers wanted to eat their trainer. They both really liked all the acrobat's. The tight rope was right in front of us and they had a great view of it.

Jake bought the kids a $15 snow cone. I about died when Jake told me how much he had spent. And to top it off Max spilled more than half of it on the ground, I almost died laughing when he did it. I asked Jake how $15 dollars looked melting on the ground. It had these flashing lights at the bottom of the cup and Max would raise up his cup like a big stein of beer when something was cool in the show. Watch out college frat parties here come Max! Well those fancy flashing lights stopped working about 1 hour after the show ended, again me laughing at Jake.
Sorry honey!

Before the big show we were able to go down in the arena and meet some of the clowns and some were doing some of their acts.

And of course we needs some good lunch, we hit Happy Sumo at Gateway and enjoyed some good food. Max is getting quite handy with his chop sticks. He ate his entire meal with them. He is concentrating very hard in this picture. Sorry the pictures are not great we took are crappy little point and shoot camera.
Check these two out, they both want a hand on that fancy cup dad bought them!

Max's 1st love note~

I got home from work today and Max told me he had something bad happen at school today. Concerned and wondering if someone was mean to him at recess or he dropped his lunch tray, I ask him what happened? He tells me this girl in his class wrote him a note that said " I Love You !" and after he read it he tore it up! (he shows me how he wildly tore it up) Then some girls laughed at him. And he proceeds to tell me that after that other girls kept writing him notes that said "I Love You!" and EVEN a boy wrote him one. He said it was making him so mad and he was tearing them all up. I can just see it now all of them getting a kick out of Max freaking out and tearing up all of these notes. This makes me laugh because he tells me that him and his friend everyday at recess let the girls chase them. Already a ladies man.

Girls Day at the Salon!!!!

Today Kate and I went to get our hair cut at the best salon ever! Kate's hair had got very long and stringy which was driving me crazy. Robyn cut about 2 inches off her hair and it is still past her shoulders. It looks so cute and she loves it. I am starting her young at pampering herself and getting a great hair cut. There is nothing better! It was so cute she fell asleep while Rob was drying her hair, pure relaxation.

Enjoying the wash and scalp massage

Oooh those eyes are heavy

Dozed off to sleep, so cute.

Striking a pose after her glitter spray

She just loves Robyn!

Finished product, isn't she lovely?!

Our one and only camping trip for the year....

Max has been asking all summer to go camping and we had not made it, so it was the annual Phillips family reunion so we decided to go. It was up Hobble Creek right by the golf course. It was grassy and we had this big pavilion that was nice.We only went over night but the kids had a lot fun.

On Saturday afternoon the kids painted their very own cars for the drive in. That night they all pulled their cars up and watched the movie Cars on the big screen. They had popcorn, treats and drinks! What a cute idea! The funny thing was the kids sat in those silly cars and watched the movie!

They cooked dutch oven one night and the kids were in heaven they had ribs! There is always good food at the reunions

I took my camera and only took a few pictures. I survived the tent for a night, Kate did not want to be confined to a sleeping bag and kept us up most of the night kicking to get out of the sleeping bag. Next time she is booted off the air mattress. Max had a blast playing with all the boys and of course Kate was my social butterfly!

Happy Birthday BaBy!!

Happy 32nd to my handsome husband! I love that you are a great dad, husband and friend! One of my favorite things about you is your a kid at heart and always will be! I hope you have fun with your new toy! Love your older, wiser women...xoxxooxx
