JULY ALREADY?

I'm not sure where June went. I guess it probably passed while I was out buying cards for Birthdays, Anniversaries & Father's Day....for all those that I was able to - to all those that I missed....sorry - it's been very busy.

So - Happy (belated) Anniversaries to Angel & Jeff, Nathan & Amanda and Susan & Thomas. Happy (belated) Birthday's to Britten, Austin, Paradise, Braden, Amber, Siven, Ben. I feel like I missed someone.

Another heat wave is upon us here in the Bay Area. It probably doesn't compare to 120 degrees in Lake Havesu but triple digit is hot anywhere to me. It's supposed to cool a little bit by this weekend - which is timely since the kids will be outside all day at a swim meet with the Taylors while Chris and I go rafting. It's the trip where we crashed badly last year. We are going to conquer 'the mother' this year.

We have plans for a family road trip to Wyoming and Montana in August. Should be a lot of fun and a lot of quality time before Britten starts kindergarten. Hope to see some great sites in Yellowstone. Some great history with respect to the Oregon Trail and Louis and Clark. Can't wait!
Hope everyone had a safe 4th and that all are staying cool this summer.
Oh yeah - the pictures: first, Austin's Star Wars Birthday Cake; Halloween in July - the kids showing off their costumes; The kids and their friends for our pre-parade breakfast on the 4th.
