Picture collage

Last Saturday Jeremy's dad got us tickets to got see a taping of "Wheel... Of... Fortune"! Our tickets weren't for actual seats and with the crowd there was no way we would actually get in to see it. However, because my father-in-law is so cool (and knows so many people), we not only got in but were seated in the middle of the 3rd row VIP floor section. Nifty. We clapped for about 3 hours straight and did a Q&A with Vana White. It was quite interesting to see the behind the camera show and we had a fun time. (I only had a mini panic attack at having left our girls for 5 hours with a babysitter, but all survived.)
 Took the girls bowling for the first time with our playgroup. They had a great time. Isis' first round she broke 100. :) And Elise was in the 80's. Not too shabby. :)
Yesterday we went to Floyd Lamb Park. It's only 10 minutes from our house but we've never been there before. Within 30 seconds of stepping out of the car there were 3 peacocks that came rushing over looking for handouts. Soon there were 13! Who knew there was a community of peacocks thriving in Vegas!
And some pictures of my girls because I love them and think they're cute! :)
Aubrey is almost walking. And those are her first pig tails. :)
 Elise. Her goggle picture cracks me up every time I see it.
Isis after her last dance class. And she blew bubbles on the window and just happened to put her face in the right place for a beard. :)


June Fun

Ha ha. Apparently I had put all these pictures on for when I had time to write about them.... I just found out that I put them in a post that's been sitting around waiting for me. So here's JUNE. :)

Jeremy and I got this ice cream maker as a wedding gift 9 years ago. This is the very first time we've used it. :) Fun family home evening. Activity and YUMMY treats all in one. Sweet!

Isis' first dance class. She did pretty well for her first try. :)
Last awards assembly at school - Citizenship and Attendance awards :)
Jeremy used some of our last peaches to make a peach glasse (gla-say).
Pretty yummy.

Elise tried out gymnastics this summer. She loves it and is quite good at it. :)
Doing "experiments." Elise is on a computer and Isis is examining something (light rainbows?) with safety goggles.
A BEAUTIFUL hike at Mt. Charleston





Craft time. Making our Barbies modest by painting bathing suits on them. :)
The girls LOVED this.
