Last week

Puppet show for Grandma

Last week was a busy, but normal week for us. How does that work? Well we had visitors! My mom and sister flew into Phoenix, my aunt Karen, Kelsey and baby Jayden brought them down and we grilled out on Sunday. Monday Jo went through her stuff and began packing up. Sadly her house has still not sold in IA, and she has returned to take care of business, but promises to visit --and we WILL hold her to that! Also on Monday CJ had school and dance.

Tuesday, tried to get Jo's car serviced for the drive to IA, CJ had school, and a walk up to the park with 2 dogs, 3 kids and 4 adults --our own little chaotic parade all while trying to beat the darkness.
Wednesday we said see ya later to Jo, went to the library, the Olive Garden and grocery shopping. Thursday brought school and my tire going flat again, despite "NOT" having a leak. CJ 'borrowing' a neighbor's bike, and learning just how not fun it is to change a tire on the van.
Friday, I got to go shopping!!!!!...for FOUR new tires that is.
Saturday Laurelei did dance, Tyson worked on our lighting project and we headed to Phoenix to spend some time with the Bandys' and a stay at the hotel so mom could catch her early early flight. The kids and I had a lazy Sunday morning, went swimming and headed home.

Grandma has a magical touch!

See a very typical week for us, yet busy and fun to have Grandma all week. We miss you.

The babies had fun playing with each other.

Now it is Monday, back to our normal routine...which means I should go locate a dance outfit, wake up the nappers so we can get back to the school on time, and figure something out for supper. It looked like this week was going to be cooler, but I saw an updated forecast and we're still going to be in triple digits this week.
