It is sure great to be home, we find entertainment in the wierdest things I guess. I don't think Alli really knew what to think about the new song.

It has sure been a crazy summer, and has been forever since we have updated the family blog, but here are a couple of pictures to let you know what we did this summer. We had the chance to take a last minute cruise. Brad in Karen invited us to go and well we just decided not to think much of finaces and go. We had a ton of fun and it was really hard to get the land legs back afterwards. It was also really hard to get use to cooking again (argh....) . It was just great though. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. We are now back in WA, and getting use to not living out of a suitecase and getting things done here. What a transition. Thanks mom and dad, brad and Karen for a great summer.

We had had our first pool party the other day. The girls loved it. The water was a little cold. Camille was a little aprehensive about going all the way in at first, and would just touch her bum on the water and stand up. Alli just did the cannon ball and went for it. After the rapid breathing and flapping of arms she got use to it and loved it. We didn't leave them in to long. After the discoloration of the lips we knew it was time to get out, but let me tell you the girls were not happy.

Ready, ready, ready, ready to run.

I decided to run for fun. I know that it sounds like an oxy-moron. Anyway, I just decided that I could do it. Anyway, in high school 3 miles didn't seem to long, but this race seemed like, well let me tell you, pretty much double. Anyway, my goal was to make it under 30 mins. My ending time was 24:57. So I kind of surprised myself. I was pretty sore for a couple of days, but it kind of set a spark for me. I think I may continue to run and train for some different races. I know running, who would have thunk.

I just learned to brush

I just love to brush my teeth. When I am done I love to pull the brush out and play with it and flip the spit everywhere. I know that is kind of gross, but I just love to have the water flip everywhere. When mommy catches what I am doing I am usually done brushing my teeth for the day.

Alli just loves the camera and is always coming up with new poses to just make me laugh. She even will blink her eyes to anticipate the flash. What a hoot every time we get pictures.

Is this a good enough smile
