Diet schmiet!

So I was gonna start that New Year's diet the Monday after our lunch....but...oh, whatever...I'm over it! I love you guys! If you can imagine...this pic was even worse in color...sorry I'm posting it!!! Time for lunch again soon...so we can take a better pic:)

Sticky, muddy, crazy cousins

No school today, so we headed to Apple Hill with the cousins. They're always crazy when they're together, but in a good my-cousins-are-freaking-awesome way. And what can be better than eating apple donuts and caramel apples, and running around getting covered in mud and fish guts? Oh, I know...being the moms sitting at the picnic table chittin' the chat and knowing everyone is gonna sleep well that night!

Spelunking!

Have you ever seen the billboard on the 99 for Moaning Caverns? Well, I've always wanted to check it out. So Jim's parents were here for a few days and that gave me the perfect reason for an adventure. It's kinda far to drive for the day, but it was pretty amazing. The cavern is like 150 deep, big enough to hold the statue of liberty! You walk down 4 or 5 claustophobic staircases until you get to the rickety rusty spiral stairs that take you to the bottom.

Dean was totally freaking out which helped me to not freak out cuz I'm a little afraid of falling to my death. But once we got down it was pretty cool to look around at all the stalactites. I thought one wall looked like globs of marshmallows.

It wasn't quite as good as the illegal cave/mine explorations we would do in Utah with Mike, but we have kids now! Moaning Caverns is close to Big Trees, so next time I'd combine the two for a perfect day!

Hairspray!

Jamie and I were invited to see Hairspray live at the Music Circus last night with some friends. That's the sign for the Corny Collins Show behind us. It was so much fun! We both liked the live performance so much more than the movie. She had a tough time getting up for school because we got home so late, but she said it was still worth it! Jamie started Junior High this week and is loving it. Not having the same teacher all day long is great for her. She's not loving the PE uniform, but after seeing the '60s PE clothes in Hairspray last night, she is at least glad her shorts aren't super short with the waist above her belly button! I'm just grateful she doesn't have high maintenance hair-do's:)

Take me out to the ball game!

Hot dogs, nachos, chips, soda, pretzels, frozen lemonade, ice cream, garlic fries, cotton candy and sunflower seeds, but no peanuts or Cracker Jacks! A great day at the Rivercats with friends!

G-L-A-M...

G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S......oh, the flossy, flossy! I'm sure Fergie was talking about us! Waking up every morning at 5:30, sweating our butts off, laughing so we don't have to do sit-ups, and solving all the world's problems. Champagne in first class has got nothing on pizza and a churro from Costco. We got the REAL glam life! Maybe flopsy, flopsy...but real!
