What an awesome day yesterday 
and it looks like it will be another awesome day today (for all of us that don't mind the heat that is 
)
I got my first sunburn yesterday. As goofy as it sounds, it feels so good. Now I really know that it's summer!!!!
When I go in the pool today, I will have to wear some sunscreen. Speaking of pools - being in the pool was so nice 
. What a difference a year makes with Katie - last year she wasn't very happy with the big pool, so I had to keep a small kiddie pool filled on the deck for her to play in. This year I put some water-wings on her, and she was alot more confident 
. Speaking of water-wings, thank God she had them on, because at one point she fell into the pool 
. She was throwing some floaties in the pool and she lost her footing and fell in. The water-wings did their job and she popped right up, but again, thank God she had them on. I was laying on a float when this happened, and as soon as she fell in, I got off and grabbed her, and I said to her, "Hi there, you decided to come in?" I didn't want to make a big deal out of it and freak her out. She just looked at me, like she was in shock about falling in. I said again, "Were you silly and decided to come in?" She then smiled and said, "Yeah, I want out now." So I put her out and told her to use the stairs next time 
Then, last night I put the girls to bed early and watched Brokeback Mountain. Kevin wanted no part of it
so he went downstairs and watched tv, which was good for him because it was much cooler down there. Have any of you seen this movie? No offense to those of you that liked it, but I was really disappointed. When everyone kept saying it was a love story, I was hoping for somewhat of a happy movie. To me the movie was sorta depressing, it moved slow, and I couldn't stand all the mumbling between the characters. I had to constantly be raising and lowering the volume so I could hear what they were saying 
On a scale of a 1 - 10 I personally give it a 6, which is to bad, because I was really hoping for it to be a 10. But, I have found out, that when there's a lot of hype surrounding the movie, I over anticipate how it is going to be, and then I am disappointed
Today Kevin is at The Indy 500
He has been going to this race since he was 13 years old, and he loves it - well, he loves racing!!! He has done the Mario Andretti Racing School once and drove an Indy car 158 mph. He has also done the Richard Petty Experience 4 times and I'm not sure what his top speed was there. This summer he is returning to do the Mario Andretti Racing School again, and he is very excited Anyway, about the race, he left this morning at about 3:30am and he won't return until about 6:30 - 7pm, so it's a long day. They get to the parking lot early and are already drinking beer before most of us wake up 
. I've been to the race 3 times, and it is an amazing experience - it's a sound that can never be duplicated!!
Okay, so whats going on around here?!?!
TiggersPal - I want to see a ghost!!!! I hope Peg has a good trip!!!
NC Belle - Hi there!!
geffric - Sitting outside with the laptop sounds nice
Now that we have our patio furniture on the front porch, I will be doing the same thing!!!
Well, I gotta run - have a good Sunday everyone!!!!

There is one type of bee this year that is the absolute worst. I've never seen anything like it - it's JURASSIC!!!! 
Not only is it huge, but it has a big 
I feel like this thing is following me around the yard. Wherever I go, there it is. We have bug killer sprays everywhere so we can grab it fast, but the thing takes off before we can spray it. I'll get it eventually!!! 
Poor Jessie is scared to death.
too. I hope they don't it again tonight. Oh....I researched the bee and it's a carpenter bee. They are making a nest in Kevin's new shed he just built 
Stephanie laughed when he said that he could burp his ABC's.
. Our neighbors have a lot of parties too, but he is on the FD with Kevin, so if they get rowdy Kevin askes him to knock it off and they do - which is nice. I hope they don't make this a long summer for you. Also, your restaurant list sounds great 
I guess this is a sign that it's time to clean out my desk
