Jeremy was promoted to 1 of 3 Project Managers and with that he gets more say in what jobs he goes out on.  In the beginning of July he went to a Navy Base in Bahrain, I was actually jealous and wanted to go.  He said when they landed it was 120 degrees with 90% humidity.  Other then the 20 hour flight to get there, it was a good trip.  Since he did all of the driving while they were there he didn't get a chance to take any pictures, but the guy he was with sent him some.

This is one of the biggest Mosques in the region.

The front of our hotel and a cool monument outside of the airport.

On June 29 Alexander had his tonsils and adenoids removed.  I was nervous more out of I didn't know what to expect, but he did beautifully and recovered very well and I already notice a difference in his sleep.  Cameron actually mentioned that he feels lonely at night because Alexander is no longer snoring.  Alex was really cute about it and when you asked him what was going to happen he would tell you "the dr is going to cut my snore out".  Then a couple of weeks after he snorted and said "mom my snore grew back"  Silly kids.

The Greatest Show on Earth 6-19-2011

The library offered free tickets for the kids if they read 5 books in the month.  Heck ya free tickets. The problem, the weekend that the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Baily's Circus was in town was a travel weekend for Jeremy :(  I wanted to have another adult with me so that any trips to the bathroom I didn't have to lugg everyone around with me.  Any babysitter I would ask to go was out of town.  But hey it was the weekend of Father's Day just maybe Grandad would drive to Vegas for the weekend to go the circus. Called him up and it was also his off Friday week. SCORE!!  So I went to go buy the tickets and some guy had had an extra free adult ticket coupon that he left so to buy 4 kids tickets and 3 adult tickets it only cost me $42.  I was so excited. We had a great time Alex wasn't so sure when they turned out the lights and spent most of the time on mom's lap but the others were enthralled the whole time.  I spent more money getting everyone a snow cone then I did on our tickets.  Mom's birthday was after they left and the kids wanted to make her a special b-day dinner, Cameron called and asked her what she wanted, lasagna so I made lasagna from scratch and I tried to find her a coconut something cake and we settled on a red velvet thing from Fresh & Easy that was DELICIOUS!!  I thought I was taking a picture of her blowing out her candles and the camera was on video(I cant figure out how to download the video now)but the kids really wanted her to have candles.

Cameron the toothless wonder 6-17-2011

Cameron had all 4 of his canine teeth extracted after school got out to hopefully make room for the permanent teeth coming in.  Dr Joe gave the option of getting orthodontics now and then needing it again in about 5 years or pull the teeth now and orthodontics still in 5 years....ummm let me think about it....I will take the cheaper option Dr Joe pull-em out please!

Kinder Graduation 6-9-2011

We made it through another year of Kindergarten just 2 more to go.  Terrilyn had a great year with Ms Gaylynn & Ms Janet  :)   They were amazing teachers and have instilled in a her a love for learning.  The dress that Terrilyn wore was made by me and her babysitter Anna(for a project of extra credit she needed) and she was most anxious to get it back from Anna when she had to turn it in to get graded(the teacher kept it for a couple of weeks.  It was hot the day of graduation...they did a little ceremony outside then we had refreshments upstairs in the mulit-purpose room and watched a slide show of pictures taken through out the year.  We are so proud of Terrilyn and her accomplishments this year.

Memorial Weekend 5-30- 2011

 Alonna brought Conner and Mom out for Memorial Weekend before Conner left for his dads for the summer.  We went out to the railroad tunnels and this trip we heard bats and i got some pictures of them.  The boys had a blast just playing and enjoying each others company.

5-15-2011

i came downstairs one day and found the pillow pet like this. apparently the kids thought that all animals like to do what Chewy does

The biggest fundraiser for the year was the Spring Carnival.  I was so busy all day(buying food that was needed driving back and forth getting get kids dropping off kids and then sold the food tickets and raffle tickets) and never took a single picture but the kids had a good time(I couldn't move from my spot so the kids sort of just ran wild, I actually felt guilty but what do you do?) and we raised a good amount of money.  As awful as this sounds I am very grateful to be not on the PTO board for next year maybe I can enjoy some of these events more.  On a side note it was the Spring Carnival last year that was our first contact with SSMCS I cant believe a whole year has gone by.

Hair Dying/Crazy Hair Day 5-11-2011

 During Spirit Week we had "Crazy Hair" day.  Jeremy was out of town traveling somewhere and I wanted a break the evening before so we went over to the Rich's where Anna and Rikki died the kids hair.  Cameron wanted 2 colors so he could do an L with his hair, he went with green and blue.  We did the other boys with blue also.  Terrilyn picked out pink shocker I know.  We were dying in the back yard and Seamus went and sat down on the stairs in the pool.

LOVE how Alexander and Jason are looking at eachother

We love and miss our dear friends the Oldham's and when they were headed back up to San Fransisco they stopped by and stayed a couple of nights with us again.  We LOVE having our buddies around to play with us so much fun.  We got a babysitter and went out on a double date with Dale and Lori we decided to go hit the strip.
