Hot hike and Elmo slippers!

We resumed our hikes this weekend. Since it was not going to be in the triple digits, we went out somewhere in the middle of nowhere. We had to drive down a long dirt road and we all were thinking of the movie Deliverance when we saw the folks at the river. Basically, wouldn't recommend this one to the group.

I also bought Adrienne a pair of Elmo slippers. She just had to show them off. It was a great mellow weekend.

Pretty Girl

I like to go to this website called babysteals.com everyday. They release something baby related each day. It is typically a pretty good deal although I am not always interested in the item they are selling. The other day they were selling these really cute skirts so I bought one. SO CUTE!!!! I had so much fun watching her crawl around in this. I was not a very girly kid, so I am so hoping my daughter will be.

Chi-Town

I spent the last weekend in Chicago with my friend Sarah. We had such a great time. What didn't we do? Theater, Cubs game, great dinners, the spa and awesome deep dish pizza!!! This is such a great city. I can't wait to come back. Here are some pics from my trip. Met some great people (except one......if you see a guy that looks like Adam Sandler, kick him in the nuts and tell him he is a big douche!) We saw Billy Elliott which was wonderful. The kid was so talented. The Cubies lost but it was still a really fun experience. On Sunday we were off to the Bliss spa for a day of pampering. What a treat! To finish off the weekend, we had Chicago style pizza at Lou Malnati's. Thanks Sarah for such a great weekend. Can't wait to show you Cali one day.

Happy belated 4th of July!

Happy 4th everyone. I started to create this post on Monday but I seemed to have come down with something (I think it was the ever so popular stomach bug that our entire family has had.) Oh well, all better now. We spent the day at the pool and took some cute pictures. Wish I got more. Our original plan was to go to Folsom Lake and set up camp at one of the beaches. Well let's just say I was a bit naive with that idea. We took off before noon and all of the parking lots were full. It was a madhouse. Luckily the pool at the gym (sounds hokey but it is pretty nice) worked well. Got to swim, BBQ and hang out. All in all a good day. Happy Birthday America!

The kids are alright!

I am not sure why I named this post that but it is what came to mind. I have been telling Paul the last couple of weeks that I need to get a picture of Adrienne with Sam and Nelly. Especially the big guy (if you haven't seen him in a while, he is getting pretty old.........sigh.) Since Paul had munchkin next to Sam, I decided to grab my camera. I thought they were pretty cute but I cannot explain why same looks like the guy from Saw ( I really need to start using the red eye option on my camera.)

Walt Disney World 2010

Well we went to see the big mouse last week. I will spare all of the details, most people who read this were on the dern trip, so why bother? We did have a good time. Probably will not go back to WDW in the summer time. Hot, humid and a ton of people, ick! I do love Disney, so we will go back one day. I have a few pictures but I know that the fam has all of the best ones. Once I get those, I will post more. Here are the ones that I have. Ta ta for now!

Doggy Dash 2010

We did the SPCA Doggy Dash on Saturday. It was a much bigger event than I expected. Lots of fun. So many dogs were there so that was fun to see all of the different poochies. We brought Nelly along with us but the big man stayed home. He can't quite do a long walk anymore. Here are some pics from the day.
