Wish I had photos to share.

I got the most unexpected phone call last night around 6:30ish. It was Rachael asking me if I wanted to go with them to get the boys ears pierced and Megan's belly button pierced. The tried to convince Colby and I to get piercing's as well since Austin already had his ear pierced. They wanted Colby to get his ear pierced and me my belly button. Yeah we were not convinced. However, we did decide to attend for moral support. It was a hoot. They all went through with it and they look amazing, especially Megan. That girl is growing up way to fast. Rachael also got a new belly button ring it was for breast cancer awareness (very cool).

Then after our unexpected outing we came back here and had a few drinks and just hung for a few hours. It was rather amusing and even Jeff joined us. It ended up being a long evening as it was 11pm when Rach left and Brady was still up. Then the older ones (I kept Rach's kids) didn't settle down until around 1 am. Boy it was hard getting up this morning but SOOOOOOOOOOOO worth it.

These moments are far to rare in our hectic lives that sometimes you just have to make the time for. If you don't when you die you don't want to be known only for working so hard. These rare moments are something that will remain with us in our memories forever.

My only regret is that I don't have a camera that works so although Rach has a ton of pictures I was unable to take any. So sorry for no pictures of my unexpected awesome evening.

Vacation

we just returned from camping on Sunday other than the torrential downpours as you can see here these where all taken by our tent, during one of the last storms Friday night. Shortly after these were taken my camera couldn't handle the moisture anymore and died.





However, there were certainly moments of sheer fun with the kids. Here are a few photos.







However, somehow I think I need a vaca from my vaca. I have been so tired since we have returned home. My house is trashed and I am just trying to get a handle on all of it. Oh well the price you pay for playing hard.

Talk to you all later.
