Pirate Party

Richards niece Katelynn had her birthday party with the family while we were there for Andrews farewell last weekend. It was a pirate party with treasure hunt and all.

Now theres some fierce looking pirates.

Here are some T-shirts I am printing for Lindseys school. They are getting shirts and polos.




Last we had a major storm this week. Storm clouds past 50,000 feet, and winds over 100 mph in some places. There was non-stop lightning for two nights in a row. Went and moved the cars so they didnt get damaged. We got lucky and our tree didnt fall all the way over, but the neighbors did and the ones across the street as well. A lot of power outages and roofs ripped off around town though.

Pirate Parrrrty

Last we had a severe storm here this week. The storm cell went up past 50,000 feet and the winds topped 80 mph. There was amazing lightning nonstop for about two days. A lot of power outages and trees and roofs ripped off. Went out to move our car so it didnt get damaged. Luckily our tree didnt fall, but the neighbors did and the ones across the street did.

The end of the summer already?!

So it is officially the end of summer. The way this is determined is the fact that school has started! :( Now you parents out there are probably like "what! we were counting down the days for them to finally go back!" I on the other hand was hoping for a few more hours of sleep this morning!! haha! The first day of school did go very well however. I have 20 kids, but only 17 showed up today (pretty sure that number will change at least 5 times by the end of the week!) So far no major problems...but it's only been the first day. : )

(A few pics of my classroom this year)

Other than that the pregnancy is going well. Still feeling good and able to get around well enough. The only thing is that I have noticed that I seem to be getting bigger not only around the middle but every where else, ESPECIALLY my feet!! This pic is disgusting evidence that if I sit too long, my feet and calves suffer!! However, I'm realizing that my extremely swollen feet are making up for the fact that I haven't been sick or had any major complications thus far. So I've decided that maybe these tree trunks attached to my legs aren't so bad after all! : )

More Summer Vacation

After Lyssas wedding reception in California we drove all night to Vegas to fly to Minnesota to see Lindseys family. (Wedding pictures coming soon) It was "grandpas" 50th so there was a "surprise" party. It was good to see her family again since many of them came down for the party.



On our way home we visited Kent and Denise in Vegas (thanks again guys!) and finally made our way home. On our way we visited Hoover Dam since Lindsey hasnt seen it up close yet. You may recognize it from the Transformers movie.



and now we are finally home again!
ps, we wish Lindseys new outti was one with four tires and an engine! haha
