Lots of Fun!

We have had a pretty busy past week or so, even though I don't have a lot of pictures to show for it!

Meggan had VBS at our church all last week from 9:00-12:00 noon, and she had tons of fun! I was off a couple days last week and didn't even have any pages of transcript out to work on, so we did a little swimming at the YMCA and had lunch with some friends, etc. It was fun! They did a little performance of the VBS program at the Sunday school hour on Sunday, and she was up there singing her heart out and doing all the moves. It's really so fun to see her going up to the front of the church with the Cherub Choir and when they do the VBS every year ... I wasn't sure she would ever be "brave" enough to do that, but she has proven me wrong! It's like once she turned 4, she was a different kid and completely came out of her shell. (She wouldn't even go up to the front of the church and listen to the children's sermon before that...)

We had a fun and busy weekend, as always! The guys had a base ball game about 1 1/2 hours away on Saturday, so they headed for that around 10:00. They got home just in time for Angi and I to leave and meet the ladies to go to dinner and see the Broadway show "Wicked" at the Murat Theatre downtown. WOW - was that fun or what! It was so much fun to be a "real" adult and have a nice dinner at Palomino and then get to witness my first show ever...

Sunday was church and then we had to get Meggan all dolled up for her dance recital pictures (I can't believe I didn't snap even ONE picture of her all dressed in her tutu and tights and her hair in a bun with her bangs curled.) She looked so pretty! She has dress rehearsal tomorrow evening and then the recital is Saturday starting at 4:30. Looking forward to watching her first dance recital performance! Once we got done with pictures, we headed to the YMCA to swim. Of course, no more had Jordan plopped himself down into the little pool than the lifeguards blew their whistles and said everybody had to clear the deck due to thunder/lightning. It was such a bummer! We headed to the indoor pool and swam for a while, but it's just not the same. Jordan wanted to get down and walk around in the water like he can in the little pool outdoors, but since the shallow end is 3 1/2 feet deep, that wasn't possible. We still had some fun splashing around and then headed home! Below are a couple pictures of swimming this week - the kids with Jason at the indoor pool on Sunday and then the kids at the outdoor pool on Saturday before we went to Brady's (our neighbor that just turned 5) birthday party. On Sunday evening Jason went paint balling with a couple of the neighbor guys, and they had a fun time doing that ... he had never been paint balling before and said it was a blast, albeit hotter than you-know-where!

This week, other than dance class on Monday night, we've been just laying low and just hanging out. I called Mom up yesterday afternoon to see how late she was working and if I could bring Jordan over to get his hair cut. His "bangs" were starting to get close to getting in his eyes. We got there and decided to go for it --- WE BUZZED JORDAN'S HAIR OFF!!! I was a little nervous, I have to admit, but I'm SO glad that we did it! He looks so cute --- and looks like Jason, everybody says! Of course, didn't get a picture of that either other than on my phone to send it to Jason, so I'll have to take one this evening when I pick them up at Nancy's and post it up here.

Speaking of which, I'd better get to working on this job. Hope everyone is having a great week!
