Avi's Birthday!!

Avi turned 8 this year and we had a party in our backyard with all the cousins and friends. Avi only requested Webkinz for her birthday, she got about 15 of them. She now has so many she has to carry them around in a huge bag. We put up our water slide and ate pizza. It was the perfect afternoon!!

Lava Hot Springs

This year for Memorial Day we decided to go with a big group of friends to Lava Hot Springs. We had 4 trailers and 13 adults and 9 kids. It was a lot of fun. We sat in the hot springs once, they were way too hot, we went to the pool for an hour or two, and then it rained. We had a hot spring right across the bridge from our trailers and the kids spent most of there time over there. We ate a lot of good food and had fun hanging out late in front of the camp fire. We cant wait to go again!!

Fired!!

As most of you know I was recently fired. I had been laid off since right before Thanksgiving. They called me in at the end of May and told me that my position was being eliminated. I am actually very happy that I don't have to go back. I have never had a summer off and with Avi being on a traditional school schedule I get to spend the whole summer with my kids. Poor Avi has been in daycare since she was 15 months old, this will be a nice break for her too. I don't plan on going back to work either, so Ryan better hurry up and make some money!!
