Teenagers are so awesome

so, yeah...

my beautiful Brooklyn got into a little fender bender the very first time that we let her drive our new mustang to school.

at least no one was hurt, right?

that is until Brennan got there.

it is not very bad.

maybe if I am really lucky, this will be her only accident.

I am crossing my fingers.

Beautiful Brooklyn

Sea world is always my favorite.

We got really wet at this show.

Brennan and Brooklyn got to do the Dolphin Interaction thing.

I don't have any pictures of that right now.

We all had so much fun doing Universal, Sea World, Disneyland for a few days, seeing some of my family and hanging out at the beach, hotels and pools.

My kids think that staying in hotels is the best thing ever.

I am glad to be home now though.

reply to your comments

So.... maybe someday I will have some time to update
but it won't be today or tomorrow or probably even this week.
Maybe I will try next month.
Hey, but I love you guys and sure appreciate your concern.
Later!!!

We have had a very busy summer.
I was hoping to relax a bit once school got out.
I don't know what I was thinking.
I am constantly on the run.
We have also had some very warm weather, although not as bad as last summer.
My kids really like to swim and really wanted a pool.
I am a mean mom and never got them a pool.
They decided that they were going to have one anyway.
Now my neighbors get to look in my back yard and see my kids playing in the storage tote.


The water is always nice and clean. The kids (probably Donovan) like to throw dirt and dog food in there.
Donovan is even quenching his thirst in this picture.
This is also good for when we forget to give the dog water days at a time.
We are definately the classiest family on the block.
I thought about marketing this idea.
The kids look like they are having a lot of fun, right?
