Pretty hair!

Carlee got a set of hot rollers for her birthday (back in Feb., thanks grandma Pobieglo) and I fixed her hair for church a couple weeks ago. She wanted me to take pictures of it. She loves getting "glamed-up" for church! Her hair is so long and still kind of fine that it doesn't stay curly for more than and hour. Maybe some day...

Sleep over (kind of)...

Once a month we get together with our neighbors and have dinner/poker night. There are about 5 couples that get together we eat A LOT, visit and try to play poker. It's a different neighbor's turn to host every month. Our turn was in May. The kids all run around and do what they'd like (just so the don't break anything or hurt each other - so far so good) while us adults play, visit and stuff our faces. Carlee and the neighbor girl finally crashed on Carlee's floor with make shift beds. It was so cute we took pics. Carlee was insistant that her friend stay the night, by the time we were done and the girls dad carried her home it was 12:10 AM, so technically she did stay the night!

A camping we will go...

We also went camping in April. The roads openend the day we left. We were really worried that we would have to cancel our trip because they wouldn't open in time. We went to our favorite spot, Bear Canyon Lake (12 miles from Woods Canyon Lake) up on the rim. It was beautiful during the day 65-70 degrees but at night is was chilly! 40-45 degrees! Thank goodness we have a heater in our trailer. There was still snow on the ground in areas where there were a lot of trees and shade. The kids loved it! As you can see from the pictures we are true Arizona natives! The kids played in shorts and t-shirts but they had a great time. We caught several fish, did a little riding, lounging and had a great time away from the normal everyday rush! However, what kind of trip would it be if nothing went wrong?? I had food poisoning the first 2 days and spent them in the trailer in the bathroom (thank goodness for the trailer). Then the day we left the alternator went out on the truck and left us stranded in the woods! We are so grateful for our friends, the Barrera's, for letting Mike take their mini-van and drive to Payson to get a new part. We got the truck fixed and got home (5 hours after we started). All in all it was still fun and we always have good stories about our trips!

Let's play catch-up!

Mike and I both celebrated birthday's last month. We went to dinner for Mike's birthday. He was in a class all day for CrossFit certification. Look it up www.crossfit.com He's now certified Level One so he can teach you what you want to know or learn. He's a die hard fan and I must say he's never been in better shape!
For my birthday I was treated to brunch, a pedicure, a massage and dinner! It's the best birthday I've had in years...I think. We also celebrated Mike's twin brothers, Scott, one of my niece's birthday and my sister-in-law, Lindsay's.
