Mom: "It's bedtime Ben, time to pick up your Legos and get pajamas on".
Ben: "This just isn't right for me".
Mom (with a glance at Dad): "Why not"?
Ben: "Because you guys are making my tears come out".
Here's my question, when did Sean & I become "you guys"?
Ben got invited to Drew's Pirate Birthday Party on Saturday morning and it was great fun watching all these little "bearded" Swashbuckler's digging for treasure and knocking the crud out of the piniata. Benjamin is quite serious about his pirate-ness.
On Memorial Day, we went to a BBQ in the wash by my parent's home and it was really awesome. Great food, quad-riding, marshmallow gun shooting, s'mores making and lovely weather. I was really sad to see it end. Sorry, no pictures. Sometimes I just want to relax and not worry about getting the "perfect shot". Hope you all had a great holiday!
Ben and I are getting ready to take off to Colorado. Sean has to stay home due to work obligations so that sucks. My nephew, Nick is graduating from High School and we're really excited to see him! He loves to go Snow-boarding and is pretty good from what I hear. I was a little sad to hear that he recently cut his BIG hair but I'm sure he's still just as hot.
P.S. No, you may not have his phone number!
We'll be driving with my parents and my sister, Janelle. We're breaking the travelling time over two days so it should be fairly relaxing. Especially since I don't plan to do any of the driving. Because of this, we should all arrive safely.
My sister, Ronda, is Nick's mom and is planning a wonderful BBQ for all of the family and friends who will be attending the graduation. She's a great cook so we're in for a great meal!
I'll post more pictures when we get back. See ya!
So we took Ben to the Pima County Fair on Thursday evening. Luckily, Sean scored free tickets at work. Just parking and walking through the entrance can be quite an investment. It was such a breezy, mild evening and the sites and smells were really enjoyable. Ben had a blast on the kiddie rides and fed all the animals at the free petting zoo. After watching an Elvis impersonator belt out "Suspicious Minds", purchasing a blue "light-saver" and eating some astronomically expensive fair food, we called it a night.
P.S. I regret to announce that, yes, we forgot the camera.
