Wednesday: We went to the movies with Alison, Tracey and all their kids, and then had cousins Justin and Trey spend the night
Thursday: Aunt Tracey came over and the kids played while Tracey and I worked on some stuff, Greg and David went to spend the night at her house and Justin stayed with us
Friday:we did some errands and much needed grocery shopping; Patrick, Karena, Dayle and Eli came up for the weekend
Friday night Melissa went to a birthday party and Grandma Holder came to stay with the kids while Dale and I went out with Karena and Patrick for dinner (it was their 14th anniversary and Dale and I will celebrate ours on Wednesday)
Saturday we took the kids to see model rockets being launched with Dale's brother Steve and his wife Wendy then Karena and I went shopping for a few hours ..We picked up my "other children" Thomas and Anabel, Melissa and Alex's best friends, so they could stay with us for several days; Dale and Patrick went out Saturday night with their friend Shawn and Karena and I hung around the house with all the kids and Dale's brothers entertained the boys by playing video games all night with them...Karena and I watched a chic flick and of course, ate yummy food leftover from the incredible resturant that we ate at the night before!! (6 layer chocolate cake tastes much better when you are not already full!)
Sunday we went to church and came back and Karena and I sat by the pool lifeguarding and just enjoying some time while the kids were distracted..
Today has been pretty calm..Thomas and Anabel will be here for a few more days ..I took the kids swimming and Dale and I took them all for a walk tonight...I call them my other children because they are so good and so close to our family (except for the fact that they are from the Bronx and are HUGE giants fans and love to tease me by wearing all of their giants gear! They promised to be respectful while in my house, but they just couldn't make it!) I am really looking forward to our family's last weekend before school and soccer start!
On saturday we go into a boxing match, Karena heard all the noise and came in to see what was going on, she grabbed my camera and snapped the only pictures I have of this past weekend ..so a big thank you to Karena for grabbing my camera!
Dale and David during their boxing match
Dale's right hook
In Kelley boxing we allow the short person to use their legs to "punch"... Dale's arms are as long as my legs so i still can't win, but I am so stubborn that it doesn't stop me from trying!!
ending the match with a kiss!

BFFs!! (Anabel and Melissa)
'boyzzzzz!!" (Thomas and Alex)

Great photos! I love the boxing ones, I couldn't believe how hilarious it was to watch. Y'all are too much!
Wow, spending your anniversary with another couple. You guys really are close... Enjoy your last weekend. We have two left. I'm trying to figure out something fun to do... Oh, yeah, I am so happy that you will have some "Tammy" time when school starts. Maybe, someday, I will be in your shoes... Enjoy.
Not only did we celebrate with them, but Dale and I and the kids are going away to celebrate our anniversary this weekend...! I am really looking forward to "tammy" time when school starts..(although I will still have lots errands to do!) this will actually be the easiest time of my life...(aside from my two years at ricks!) My friends and I already have a back to school party planned..during the day!.I love my kids, but keeping up with them is a full time job, and my job is about to become part time! can you tell, I am bursting with excitement?!?!
