Father's Day Lunch!
Hi Mommy!

"Mommy, will you just let me play?!"

Last Week

I had a nice low key birthday with my little family, nothing too fancy which I like. Its hard these days since our schedule revolves around Kiersten's little schedule.

I totally lucked out at jury selection on Friday. There were about 100-125 people waiting for the courts to start selecting people. I checked in around 8:30am & was bored, I haven't sat in a room this long since a college class. At 10:15am, we were told that the 3 courts in session no longer needed us & we were free to go!!! Yeah!!! Two of the cases ended up settling and 1 case was adjourned for the day. We were told that we were the lucky ones b/c the day before they were selecting a jury for a murder case.

We visited a friend and her new baby on Saturday. We drove over to Ikea to grab a gift for my niece who turns 2yrs old this Friday. We drove back towards 12 Oaks Mall to try & find tennis shoes for Peter (his soccer camp began today). This morning, we get to soccer camp & I thought it was a little weird that there were no cars in the parking lot. My phone starts ringing & a lady comes up...."I tried to call you this weekend, but I never heard back from you. There wasn't enough kids signed up so we had to cancel." Apparently, the number she wrote to take home with her was not my number which she says was her mistake. My correct number was in her office, but she didn't call me until class was to begin. She could have saved me the trip. So, now we have no camps for Peter b/c camps are filled up. He is on a waiting list for another camp next month, hopefully we get in.

We headed over to a friends' home to play. Abi was in his preschool class & they'll be in kindergarten together. We live really close to so it was fun to spend a little time with friends.

Other crazy news....they have been doing a search for a body in the lake behind us. It was a woman that went missing 11 days ago. We heards tons of helicopters this morning (the media) and I hope she is found rather quickly so she can be put to rest. This is a really nice area, but things can happen anywhere.

Yesterday (Sunday), a 1yr old (or 18mth old) was shot 4 times & killed in crossfire by an AK47 (drug deal gone wrong). His mom & grandma were also shot(will recover), but luckily his twin sister was not hurt. It happened at an intersection we drove through on Sat when we visited my friend & her baby. In fact, my friend lived just a half a block down. Pretty scary and tragic.

Friday June 22nd.....

It's my birthday!!! Yep, I'm 29 years old and I can bet everyone $1,000,000 that my family won't call. I can't remember a birthday the past 5+yrs that my mom or my brothers even called me. I will have a heart attack if they can even remember. Pete, Peter & Kiersten always remember my birthday (they better!!!).

I also get to be so lucky & spend my whole birthday at court in Pontiac for jury selection. Have a great weekend everyone! I won't even be able to have lunch with my kiddos!

Happy Father's, Uncle's & Grandpa's Day!!!

Just a few pics from last week. We have been pretty busy this month & I realized I haven't taken a lot of pictures. We have been enjoying the lake & playgrounds (the kids & I have a super nice tan!). We spent almost all day with Pete's side of the family out on Lake St. Clair today too! Have a Happy Father''s Day!!!

Some Sad News....

I found out this morning that my brother had to have our family dog, Travis, put to sleep. He was an old dog & lived much longer than we had expected for a larger size dog (he was btwn 16-18yrs old). He has been feeling his age the past 2 years or so, but hung in there as long as he could. I guess he started to have a seizure this morning, they took him to the vet and given his age, it was for the best.

I will update with pictures soon! With Peter out of school, there is less time to be on the PC since we have been enjoying the sunshine! Just got back from the beach a little while ago in fact!
