August Fun in the Sun!
August was a fun month, we had a lot of things going on. I want to share the photos of Elle playing in the water whether at our pool, friends or in the tub. She is becoming very talkative, saying really whatever we say. From mommy, puppy, mickey, papa, baby, poppy, trash, splash, ravioli, to so much more. She is very bright! Her emotions have come out in full force as well. She gets super mad, then turns around and is super happy. She has thrown many tantrums, her body falls to the floor and she wiggles about. Its not a pretty sight, but oh, well, she is becoming a woman! Well, enjoy the pictures and we will keep you updated.

Scorpions Concert
Patrick, Bob and I went down to Tuscon to see Scorpions. We had a great trip driving down there. We stopped at a truck stop to get gas and food. Bob started cleaning the front windshield and Patrick and I heard a SHRIEK! The windshield squeege smelled so awful. As the boys were in getting food, I noticed this Yeah, CLEAN, right!
We were just having fun and Bob was putting on socks and was complaining how they were short. Supposedly when he bought them, he thought they were knee high. So he puts the first one on; short. The second foot made us all laugh, it was way longer than the first! Obviously they were not a PAIR.
Our seats were three rows infront of the stage. Before the show started we noticed people standing between the stage and the seats. So off we were to stand next to the stage! It was awesome, we were so close and I got some really good pictures.

SeaWorld ~ San Diego, CA
We headed to San Diego, CA friday morning with the Pfeifers' and got there at lunch time. We ate lunch, checked into our hotel and were off to Coronado Island. We went to the beach and it was such a wonderful night! The water was really cold, the only one that really liked it was Hannah. She did not want to get out, it was super funny.
After playing at the beach, we were starved. We hunted for a pizza place only to end up at a Home Town Buffet. It was perfect, we got to eat balanced meals, especially since we snacked all day.
Saturday was Sea World day!!! We got there in time for a Shamu show which we loved. The girls really got into it, they watched the whole thing. Elle loved seeing Shamu and the other whales dive in and out of the water.
The day then was filled with going to see all the sea life creatures. We saw otters, sea lions, flamingos, fish, eels, turtles, penguins, dolphins, manatees, dogs, cats, pigs and birds.
We saw this show with dogs, cats, pigs, and birds. It really made us miss our animals at home. We even thought about sending them to whatever training camp to learn the stunts. We could not believe that most of the animals were from shelters. I don't even think I can explain the show, it was so unbelievable.
We also saw a sea lion and otter show, plus the late show of dolphins. The dolphin show had flames and lots of splashing the crowd. We were amazed at all the people that chose to sit in those aisles, and yet they were still running when they got splashed. HUH! Oh, well. Elle really enjoyed this show, she was clapping when everyone else was and dancing to the music.
Sunday we all went back to Coronado Island to really play in the water and sand. Elle, Patrick and I got right into the water, WOW was it cold. It did get warmer the longer we were in, but we only got in one time. Playing in the sand was much more fun. Patrick and Steve played with the football, while Nancy and I played with the girls. We stayed for about two hours then it was time to head home.
We had a fabulous time, even if there was drama in the mix! Patrick said he would like to head back in five years! Elle will really enjoy Sea World the older she gets, she really enjoyed herself more than I thought she would. We are so glad we went.
I will post the slideshow soon, but for now here are some of my favs.

Patrick woke up on his birthday and said he wanted to take Elle to the mall and get her ears pierced. He was really frightened at the pain it might cause her, but she was strong. She cried maybe for two or three minutes. She looks even prettier now.
Then today, we woke up, went to the gym. On our way home we decided to get the tires on the car looked at before our trip. So we did just that! Our car is ready to go. I will have to post those pics when we get back, for now enjoy these.

Patrick turned one year older yesterday(the 22nd)!!! Sunday I had a surprise dinner party at one of our favorite restaurants, Z Tejas. He had no clue and it was great! My friend Yaneth almost ruined it though, I covered that up, phew! Patrick just thought we were going to dinner with our friend Bob and Jodi. We had a great turnout; George, Dad, Lee, grandpa, grandma, Jeremy, Andrea, Steve, Nancy, then Elle and I!! Oh, yeah plus Bob and Jodi.
I had asked Patrick what he wanted for his birthday and he told me a LIVE pig. He wanted me to butcher the pig so we would have meat for an entire year. Yeah right, that is disgusting. I would never butcher anything, never! So I did what any wife would do, substitute!!
We went out with Bob and Jodi the night before to a Diamondbacks game. Okay, okay, so we did not make it to the game itself. We got there at the 7th inning stretch. We went into Sliders across from the stadium and watched the rest of the game and drank. We had some much needed alone time!! We met up with our friends after the game was over and went out to a different bar and had a great time.
Here are the pictures from both events!!

I finally got my DIPLOMA from college!!! I did graduate in 2002 from University of Findlay with a bachelors degree in Visual Communications. I had not received it by mail and always wanted to call and get one sent. Patrick and I were talking about it, so I emailed them and within two weeks received it!! YEAH, its finally made a home in the beautiful frame my dad got me back then. The poor frame had been sitting lonely for 6 years. Here is a picture of my new prized possesion!

Patrick and I went to Las Vegas Saturday night for a concert with our friends Bob and Jody. We got to Kingman and stopped in Ross. We were in search of a black leather vest, sweat bands and tube socks. Well, we found none of those items.
Next, we arrive in Vegas at noon, stop at a Savers(thrift store) still in search of those items. Jody and I found two black leather vests. We hunt down Patrick and he tries them on, here is the best photo of him in it.
What Patrick did not realize when wearing the vest was that is was a womans vest, it had seams down the front to accent a womens curves. He really loved it and was ready to buy the vest. Jody commented how she really liked how the seams looked and we all died laughing. He immediately told us he was not getting it and took it off very fast.
We exit Savers with no purchases, just empty stomachs that were calling us to feed them. Bob had suggested this Italian Deli and we were off. The food was delicious, I had eggplant stromboli and Patrick, meat lovers pie.
After checking in to our hotel, we get to Sunset Station to see Great White and Warrant perform. It was an outside venue and we were all excited. Great White opened up and they were awesome, I only knew maybe one song.
I think I would like to be a lead guitarist in my next life or a lead singer! Here are there pics.
So the next act was Warrant, wow what a bummer they were. The lead singer Janie Lane was so messed up he could not even sing. He would leave the stage and come back and he would get "booed." I really felt bad for the rest of the band. There were people leaving and others just shaking their heads. A huge disappointment from Warrant. Oh, well, I had a great time anyways! Here are a couple pictures of us at the concert.
