My buddy...

Carter LOVES Jack, his hamster! He spends a lot of time (when we are actually at home) in his tent with his other animals and Jack. Things I have overheard Carter saying while Jack was in his tent with him:


*I love you Jack
*Jack, this is an elephant, this is tiger, this is lion, this is zebra...
*Oh dang it, Jack just went poop in my tent!
*I'm going to get you Jack, you better run fast!

Here are some pictures of my niece Caitlyn's room that my sister and I rececently redid. You can also see on the bed how her quilt turned out that I just gave her for her birthday. I love how it all turned out!

Our Fourth of July fun

 

We went to see Spencer and Marlee in Sierra Vista for the 4th with my entire fam (minus Sean, Steve, and Cameron). Still that's a lot of people in one house! But it was lots of fun. The fun included: another Marlee led water aerobics class, going to The Cove (indoor swim park), playing volleyball, baseball, and red-neck horseshoes, shopping at Wal-mart, seeing the AWESOME fireworks show, decorating cookies, and making crafts with the kids.

After the fireworks Carter asked if we could come back next year. I said sure and then he asked, "can Daddy come too?" Sad.

Thanks again Spence and Marlee--can't wait til next year!

The call (5)

We last left off here

Later that week one of my friends called me to see if I wanted to meet him and a group of people at the movies. I thought it would be fun but asked who was going. He listed off the names and one of them was Sean. No thanks, I'm out. Why my friend, asked? I don't like Sean. Before I even finished my sentence, Sean was on the phone asking me to meet them at the movies. I had plans with Nick I told him. He asked me to cancel them. I said I couldn't. He went to the movie and I stayed home and watched 90210. (my "Nick" excuse had worked again!)

The next week I was over at a friend's house and "we" decided to call Sean. I called him.

Sean: hello
me: um, hi, do you know who this is?
Sean: ya, are you at Nick's house?
me: no, not right now
Sean: oh, too bad
me: ya, you're still pretty stuck on yourself (another good comeback, i'm full of 'em!)
Sean: you too. we should go out on friday
me: i can't. i have plans
Sean: with Nick?
me: no actually, with this (basketball) guy i'm dating
Sean: ok, then saturday?
me: ok

i can't wait for saturday...
