Fun with boxes

Jared ordered some new lounge-chairs for the pool at the condo that he manages.  They were delivered to our house in 4 large boxes, then his maintenance guy, Ryan, picked them up to take them to the condo.  I asked him to please bring the boxes back so the kids could play with them.  They cut, colored and taped the boxes for about 4-5 hours last night. 
Busy at work!  Rylee was over too, but had to leave for a cousin's bday.









Start of Summer & More Soccer

We had a very long, cold, stormy spring.  We couldn't wait for the warm weather to get here.  The first day that was kinda warm, Jared got this pool for the kids to play in.  We filled it with warm water from the kitchen sink.  It kept them happy & entertained for a few hours that Saturday!


Should have wiped her nose before I took this picture - yummy!


Unfortunately I waited until Emma's last scheduled game to take pictures, and the other team had to forfeit because they only had 4 players, so I didn't get any of Emma this season.  Guess that's what I get for waiting until the end of the season.  But here are pictures from Mallory's last game - She is #4 and her team was called the Watermelons!




All the pictures below were taken when we were out on a date with Seth & Monica and Jamie & Jason.  We went to dinner & to see 'Super 8', and the kids stayed at our house & took these pictures.  Wish I could somehow secretly watch them goof off while we are gone!
Lexi, Ashton & Rylee
NICE.



One day Kelsey, Emma & Rylee walked up to Macey's grocery store to go to Sub-Zero & get an ice-cream.  If you aren't familiar with Sub-Zero, they use liquid nitrogen to freeze the ice cream right there in front of you. They have a "store" inside Macey's.  The worker at Sub-Zero was doing tricks with the liquid nitrogen and threw some on Kelsey's shirt.  Well, somehow it got on her foot & burned her.  Her foot was very red when she got home with the darker spots below showing through all the red.  A burn from liquid nitrogen is actually frostbite.  She had two spots blister up pretty bad by Saturday morning.  It's been almost a week and it isn't looking much better.  It is still tender to touch and hurts a little when she walks.  And the poor girl heads to Oakcrest in a few days!  I think we'll be sending some gauze and wrap to keep it protected.
