Family Fun!

Seems like we have been going non-stop for the last couple of weeks. We're not doing anything major. Just having fun with the family. Here are some pictures from a party that Nick went to at Alley Cats for one of the clubs he was in at school. The rest of the kids weren't invited but we crashed and played games and a round of laser tag while Nick bowled with his friends. Clockwise from top left: Nick, Austin, Lauren, me, Marty and Mackenzie.

We went to Six Flags on Tuesday. It was so much fun but closed too early! Lauren and Mackenzie are crazy! They wanted to ride all of the big roller coasters. We were a little scared to let them go on the Titan by themselves so Marty and I rode it, too. I was a little nervous as we were going up ... and up ... and up! I believe it's 255 feet up to be exact. But we survived and so did they. Then we let them ride the Texas Giant by themselves. Nick even got in on the action this year and rode the Shockwave which was my favorite ride when I was a kid. Nick couldn't believe it had been around that long.

And, finally, last night Lauren was invited to go to her friend's birthday. They went to the movies. But her friends came over and were all dressed up. And my little girl ... who NEVER wears a dress ... decided she needed to wear one. And she even wanted to wear fancy shoes. I never thought I would see the day. But here they are ... Lauren and her best buddies Mackenzie and Markenzie. Both of the girls are only 1 year older than Lauren. Maybe one day she will grow.

And for your listening pleasure today, we have Nickelback: Figured You Out. This song rocks! Have a great day!
