We've had lots of fun this week playing outside in the hot weather!! I've been bad at taking pictures again this week...but we were at the waterpark yesterday and a took a bunch there. They are the pictures scattered throughout this post!!
Last Friday night, we had some friends over for a "Rock Band"(the video game) Party!! We thought it would be fun to have a no-kids party for something different. We had 3 couples come over and we spent the first 2 hours or so sitting on the deck on a warm summer evening! We just chatted and ate some yummy appies. Jeff made his very delicious cheddar, bacon potato skins. I made a mexican dip and a dessert. Later into the evening we headed inside and played Rock Band for about an hour. We had a great time...lots of fun with great friends!!
Jeff is now into biking, I'm not sure if I mentioned this before or not! But, he had a mountain bike and now he has his dad's 1973 road bike as well. His dad bought it brand new in 1973 and it's still in great shape. Jeff took it to the bike shop and got new tires, brakes, cables, a seat and new handlebars. He really enjoys riding it!!
On Saturday morning, he rode bikes with 2 other friends and they rode to Penticton. It took them about 2 1/2 hours and then I drove out there and we had brunch together and then went back home for naptime. His 2 friends are training for the IronMan, that is about 2 weeks away. Jeff isn't training for anything special, he just really enjoys biking and running!!
Sunday afternoon, we went swimming at my parents pool again. It's so nice to have a nice pool to go to, to cool down in this heat! Then we had dinner together at their place. It's really quite convenient to swim from 4-5pm and then it just happens to be dinner time!!!!
Water fight...
Water fight...
Jeff's parents took the girls for the day to Tuesday and they always have a blast with Grandma and Grandpa. It was another hot day and they had a water fight and apparently got Grandma soaking wet in her clothes!! Their Grandma days are so special...the girls look forward to it every week and they have a really close relationship with their grandparents and I'm so thankful for that!! I don't even think our kids know how blessed they are...yet:)
We had dinner on Tuesday at Jeff' parents place and it was delicious...chicken, potatoes, greek salad, corn on the cob and yummy peach pie(one of the pies that Jeff and his mom made together!). I still can't believe they made 13 pies in one day!!
We leave for Las Vegas next week and we are getting SO excited!! I know that the kids are in very good hands with their grandparents while we are away, but I know we'll miss them. And then we are just a couple weeks away from Megan starting kindergarten. I just can't believe it's happening so fast. She is going to love it...she loves to learn and she loves friends. I think she will do great!! Gabby is really going to miss her in the days, because they always play together now. But, Gabby will have to learn to play with Marty now, and they will have fun too!

very cool water park! great pictures.
13 pies in one day is AMAZING. i did 6 and that was a LOT!
it is so special to have grandparents so close by...they may not appreciate it so much now, but they'll eventually realize the blessing of it :)
Have a great time in Vegas, and yes, having good relationships with Grandparents is a great thing.
