Jerrod in His Webelos Uniform

Boy's Night Out!

Yesterday, Derek called me on his way home and asked if he could take Jerrod on a boy's night out. Team USA was playing Argentina to qualify for the olympics and he heard at school that the tickets were cheap. They got there and bought their tickets which were nosebleed seats but a nice usher moved them way down so they got to be close. Derek called me from their good seats giddy. They were having the best time. They got to see Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Jason Kidd, Carmello Anthony and many more... Here are some pictures.

Grocery Store

Thought I would share this picture of Ava in Albertsons the other day. I took it with my phone. Everyone that passed by thought she was so cute. It was the best shopping trip ever for me!!

First Day of School!!

Today was the kids first day of school.........finally. We have all been counting down for the last few weeks. They were all excited this morning but had a few butterflies as well. They have adjusted so well everywhere we have moved so I am sure they will make lots of new friends. Here are some pictures we took this morning.

Allison Loses a Tooth

La Cucharacha!!

We have cockroaches here in Las Vegas and Ginger is my bug killer. Yesterday I caught a large cockroach crawling across the floor so I called Ginger over and told her to get it. She came over and played with it enough to disable it and then just sat and watched it. What a good dog!

Chuck E Cheese To The Rescue

After three weeks of no friends and mom going crazy I decided it was time for something fun. I had a coupon for Chuck E Cheese and decided it was well worth the $30. Small price for my sanity. The kids all had fun. Ava was moving constantly so finally after all the kids tokens were gone, I had them watch Ava for a minute while I tried to get some tickets on the Skee Ball. And guess what Steve, I did it again. The alarm went off because of my high score and I got about 200 tickets. So, the kids were happy because that helped them out a ton on their prizes!

Ava got in this car and instantly leaned over and kissed the man. Awwwww!!
