Scorpion

Talk about MAJOR hee-ba-gee-bee's!!! I had one of these in my office this morning! I got anxiety- heart palpitation's, butterfly's- EVERY time I walked by it. Why didn't I pick it up right away? Would you? I called Al right away and of course he came running. To save me? No- to see what a scorpion looks like! We have lived in Vegas for over 8 years, have heard about them, but never seen one. When Al came to pick it up it was NOT dead. Al put it in a paper cup and kept an eye on it. The cup sat on his desk all day. Isn't he crazy! Animal control guys called it some kind of scorpion and said if it stung you in the arm your whole arm would go numb for a few hours. How freakin scary! No thanks.

Swim Season has BEGUN!!

Our weekends are now spent pool-side. The girls are little fish. They are already so tan. Lily is holding her own with Landree. She races her across the pool. She also does cantaloupe's (aka cannon-balls). Lauryn loves to splash around.

A Night Out

A friend of ours, Tracey, joined us in the 30's, finally. We all met for dinner to surprise Tracey and then went out to a country bar, Stoney's. It was a fun night out. I can't remember the last time Al and I went to a country bar. Tracey and I were the only one's to dance. I think we did the electric slide and cha-cha. That is about my limit on country dancing.

The park and FIRST tooth!

We went to the Dinosaur Park so the girls could play in the water. Lauryn finally cut her first tooth. Her bottom right popped through on May 9th.

Look at all the turtles!

Update- We are alive!

I can't believe it's been close to 2 weeks since I last blogged. It's not because we haven't been BUSY! We have also been hit with a little bit of the stomach flu- Not Swine/H1N1.

Here is the start of the last couple weeks-
Landree's Girl Scout Troop raised a bunch of money with their cookie sales. We took some of the money and had a Ice Cream Social at the Henderson Senior Center. While the seniors ate their lunch the girls entertained them with The Girl Scout Promise, a couple girl scout songs and then each girl went up and sang a song. Landree sang a couple different songs, 5 Green Speckled Frogs, Island Princess song, and Mr. Sun. We did not prepare at all but she did a great job. It was fun seeing the seniors react to the girls.






Here's the best part- I picked up the sugar free ice cream for the social before it started so I could keep it frozen. I went to Albertson's and bought 13 containers. I thought I got them all out of the jeep. Last week (over a week after the social) Al went to go somewhere with Landree and she was trying to get a piece of paper under the seat. Well there was chocolate ice cream all over the floor of the passenger seat. I forgot a container! Thank goodness the ice cream is sugar free and has no milk in it therefore no SMELL!! And the jeep can be hosed out.

Little Bit of Country with a Little Bit of Rock and Roll

We went to a Rock and Roll party Saturday for Casey and Sydney.

Lily was our little bit of country.

The rest of us were all rock and roll!

New skills..

About a month ago we lowered Lauryn's bed from the very top to the middle position. Well it's time to lower it to the bottom. When she wakes up she lays in her bed and talks and plays until she decides she is STARVING! Then Al or I will go get her and some food. Well she has been working herself up to standing in her crib. I'm afraid we have another climber.
