The newest member of our family.
We love smoothies and our last blender could not keep up. After returning three others and doing some research, we opted with this one and are hoping it will make us happy.

Our fun at the amusement park ended at 11:00 p.m. when I realized my only set of keys to the car were no where to be found. Long story short: they were not turned in, my husband rescued us at 12:20 a.m., arrived home at 1:00 a.m., had to have the car towed the next day to the nearest dealership, new keys were made for only $100, a friend drove us to pick up our car and new keys (35 minute drive) at 3:00 p.m.
Another fun story to add to my list :)

Can we fit in one more fun day before school? Oh yes we can!
I used my point and shoot, therefore, not the best pictures.
Regardless we had a wonderful day with the other 17,000 people!

Z Man took a picture of B Girl and I on the "Ladybug Drop". We're up there somewhere. Not a bad picture bud!
Can you see those 4 crazy girls in the back with their hands up? Oh yeah!

Today we ran another half marathon.
It was a beautiful mountain race and I attempted to catch the beauty with my phone camera. Not quite what I experienced, but worth a try.
My mom snapped a picture of me giving one of my running partners a high-five right before the finish line.
We did it!!!!

Forest fires caused a red tint to the evening. An amazing sight.
Watching in awe as our 5 children played with each other for an hour.
Sweet memories.
