Still here!

WELL, it's been two months since I last posted on this blog.  After visiting Kansas City this past weekend and recieving a few verbal lashings from about 18 different people about my blog not being updated, I have decided I am going to try and do a better job! :) 

June- Keeley got her first haircut!

July-Frankie and I celebrated our birthdays!  Since our birthdays are so close together, we usually share a cake every year and this year, it was a Lakers cake.  I think Frankie really liked it:) We also went to the Japanese Steakhouse for dinner.

August-we traveled to Kansas City to help my sister celebrate her 40th birthday! 

It's been a fun summer!  Now school starts next week!!!!

Disney World Trip

June 9th - June 14th. BEST. TRIP. EVER.  We had such a good time!  Truth be told, Disney World was good, but spending time as a family was even better:)  We definitely made memories that will last a lifetime!  Pics are below!

Getting ready to take off!

Pooped out after Disney World

They picked Yasmine to be the Jr. Director of the Indiana Jones Stunt Show!

I wonder what Frankie is thinking in this picture?!?!? :)

Like Mother, Like Daughter.

They are about to ride Tower of Terror.  They are a little nervous!

Happy Graduation Devante!

Last Night, Yasmine and Mikayla's older brother Devante graduated from High School. It's hard to believe he is all grown up! Congrats Devante!!!  We are proud of you.

It's been a long time!!

It has been such a long time since I posted last that I almost forgot my username and password to get into my blog. I vow to get better once the summer is here.  Why I think I will have more time this summer is beyond me...I guess it just sounds good. ha!

Anyway, here are a TON of pictures from over the past couple of months:

This is Mikayla and her friend at their first grade music program which was a jungle theme. 

Here is Keeley hunting eggs at the annual city egg hunt.

She didn't care if this kid dropped his egg, she was going after it and taking it.

After the egg hunt, I had to stop by target and she stayed out in the car with Frankie.  I think the egg hunt pooped her out because she fell asleep on the pizza box.

Keeley was excited about our bunny cake

Decorating eggs!

Keeley and I traveled up the road to my parents house for the weekend and had soo much fun.  During the day, mom and I took her downtown to the beauty salon so she could partake in the whole "Feather" trend that is going around with girls across the country:)  To be honest, I am kind of over it and ready for the thing to fall out.

Mikayla ended her soccer season and the team finished in 2nd place.  They lost in the championship game, but it was SUPER close!  They did soo great and we are really proud of them.

VERY similar story for Yasmine!  She finished her Volleyball season and the team ended up with the 2nd place prize after losing a really close match during the championship game.

Sooooo, we are taking a family trip in a couple of weeks and the girls and I wanted a few new clothes for the trip.  I decided I needed to teach my girls a lesson and let them know that if we wanted new clothes, we had to WORK for it.  We all did a deep cleaning of the house over the past couple of weeks and found stuff we wanted to put in a garage sale.  I told them we could use the money from the garage sale to buy our new clothes.  I was really proud of Yasmine because that girl spent an entire night cleaning her room out and getting things ready for the garage sale. We had planned to have the sale for two days, but we were rained out the first day (no tears from me!)  The second day we had a pretty decent turn out and now we are ready to go shopping!  THANK YOU MOM for helping me!!! 

Our items spread out over the driveway:)

Yasmine auditioned to be the MC in the school talent show and she got the part!
