Well, the dust has settled and I have a chance to reflect back on our last week with the Mauss kids. We had so much fun. It started with our annual block party. This year we added a dunk tank to the mix and it was definitely a hit! Cole learned to ride his bike without training wheels before his mom and dad got here. He's got the skinned up knee to prove it! The Boltons joined us this year since I had had Cameron and Faith. Ray & Brandi always join us as does Gladys. She loves this day with all the kids! Jessica and Jason stayed to take Cole to the dentist to find out about his tooth on Tuesday. The verdict was that he will have the tooth pulled when he returns home to Surprise. The permanent tooth is ight there. On Thursday, we met all the Boltons, including Ric and his family, at Knotts. It was a blast! Then on to a barbeque at Ray & Brandi's. We spent all day Friday at Seal Beach and then brought most of the beach home with us, I think. At least it seemed like I cleaned up a whole beach!
On Saturday, we mmet the Mauss grandparents and sent the kids off for their trip to Wisconsin. They will return to us on the 26th, I will take them to Surprise on the 28th and Bailey and I leave for our trip on the 29th from Phoenix. We will return on the 6th, in time for her Meet the Teacher Night and I will come home for a week's computer class. Then it will only be a couple of weeks till school starts. Where did the summer go?
Chuck and I are leaving for Scottsdale today to see Madison and Kinsey. Kinsey will be one on Monday. Then when we return, we will go spend a day with Jordan, Amity, and Randi. What a perfect week, getting to see all our grandchildren!
I am so thankful that we have such a great family. I love spending time with all the extended family and having all the cousins "camp out" in my back yard. Even Alisa slept in the tent all night! Thanks to all the family who came to visit. We love you all!
