Camping Trip 2011

I only have about 437 photos from our camping trip last week--but the cyber forces are being finicky and I was only able to upload these 5 photos without receiving error notices. Soooooooo, in a nutshell it was a great trip that ended with a total fish catch at 8, dozens of mosquito bites (especially on poor Delaney; they ate on that girl as if she were an all day buffet!), 9+ loads of laundry and even more great memories. It's always a lot of work, but a lot of fun and they kids have the BEST time. I am going to attempt to upload the other photos on facebook, so take a stroll over there later to see more. :)

The Rav---she continues to serve us well, even on long trips when our elbows are practically wedged in our neighbor's ribs.

Happy 4th Birthday!!

Happy Birthday twinkies!
oh how I miss these little guys!

We celebrated with Donuts this morning and later we're getting Daddy from the airport to open gifts and go out to dinner (not having to cook is practically a birthday gift to me!). Hurray!

The rest of June

Well, the rest of June passed slowly and uneventfully even with a VBS and a mini kid camp I hosted at my house for a few days with some of Maggie's friends. Our days were filled with painting, sprinklers, lots of otter pops and VBS class preparation. :) After all that business ended, we got in the car and made a beeline for my folks' house in So. Cal. for a Dascenzi sister reunion! The weather was amazing, the kids were crazy, and the sleeping arrangements were....interesting. Screams of happy children broke sound barriers and where toys weren't underfoot there seemed to be a small child (most likely eating something they hijacked from the ground that would later be dislodged from their throat). It was wonderful. The kids cried when it was time to go, but thankfully we had another set of Grandparents waiting for us at the house when we got home. More on that in the next post. :)

Left to right: Maggie, Delaney, Charlie, Joe & Ben
Ok, I am bummed this is missing my other two nephews. Hopefully I'll have some to post later.
Joe has recently become more intrigued with our Wii. We received it as a Christmas present and in my head i was thinking, "yeah right, none of the kids are going to care or be coordinated enough to play THIS!" Little did I know Joe has mad skills.
This sweet girl was too pretty not to post. This was Father's Day. :)
