A little dinner break at Del Taco with Tiana
More to come on our fantabulous weekend...as if anybody really cares. 
Those crazy peeps in the orange are my team. Orange Dream Team!
One task was tossing a Frisbee into a hula hoop. If you missed another member of the team had to do 10 push ups. If you traded responsibilities, 5 push ups had to be added to the 10. Our team had terrible luck in getting the Frisbee in that stupid hoop, so between all six of us roughly 300 push ups were done. I did 50, yay me!
Another task: arranging letters to spell our Vision Statement.
Cruel task: eating an entire bag of pork rinds between all six of us.
I'm that little creature over there kneeling down. This was the egg toss. Ryan (far left) had to toss an egg into my outstretched shirt. First toss, right in the left tata, luckily there was enough absorption, so the egg didn't break!
Here's the team after the race ended! We really had such a great time! I whined and whined the day before and tried to get out of it, but I truly enjoyed myself! Plus, I easily ran more that day than I've run in a year. Now I can avoid exercise for another year. Phew.
Do you want me to continue, or are you over this? I could go on, but it's time to cuddle.
Happy birthday to my puppy! Love you!
Keep in mind, some of the pieces of the shield are stacked on each other, making them look darker.I'm trying to convince myself that a large percentage of this filth is actually stained hair color. Crossing my fingers, really. That's sick.
You can be sure I'll be replacing my shield every few months now!
Thank you Emo boy for not spitting in my direction after viewing this display of disgust.
Poor Lo has had to put up with five snotty older sisters all her life, and she's turned out better than all of us combined! How in heck does that happen!?
It's been said that this expression hurt this Uglies face (on the left).
Wow, I really just posted those on the world wide web. Yup, that just happened.
And those are just summer movies!
In other movie news...I recently saw Journey to the Center of the Earth - not my choice. I wasn't terribly unimpressed, however. The 3D aspect was entertaining. Poor Brendan Fraizer though...not an acting bone in his body.
I saw Mamma Mia today! LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Lauged a lot, cried a bit. I will absolutely own this one, and I've already purchased the soundtrack. Brings back memories of seeing it on Broadway in New York!
I was so impressed with these actor's voices, especially Amanda Syefried (loved her in V. Mars), and wondered outloud with Celina how they managed to get those three grown men to do that movie. Loved it though! I highly recommend it!
We also wondered what happened to the days of singing and dancing in public in expression of emotions. Or...did those days ever even exist?
*to be seen - der
The day we arrived in California Jack immediately informed us that his mom had bought him a blue ball!
On Friday Mallory and Wacko sat down for a good hour or so and painted! Lo and I joined in a bit, but not as seriously as these two! 
I doubt I could love this boy any more than I already do. 
And here is the extent of my creativity
Mal was so into it, and really encouraged Wacko to be very creative. Of course she did, she's the definition of creative, and I envy her.
Just a few of my favorite pics from that day
Check out that slight glimpse of his dimple. He rocks. 
I ventured out of my comfort zone last month and signed up for tennis lessons with my in-laws! Caitlyn playing a sport, you say? Yes, it was as unbelievable and awkward as you think.
Showing off my forehand skills. Don't knock the non-tennis sweet Vans I'm wearing.
Our class minus my MIL Camme who missed picture day! She was at home sick with a sore throat.
Our awesome instructors Kenny and Jeremy!
No hard feelings, right Kenny?
Shay and Kenny playing the geee-tar
Just playing some doubles, our own style!
So intense!
Our non-family tennis buddies, Rebecca and Stacey! 
Kenny and Kass. Tennis class misses these two!
Ahh, our true colors.
Thanks for inviting me to take tennis with you girls, it was a blast! I can't wait for my first Wimbledon Tournament!
**Stay tuned for pictures of session two of tennis lessons!**
I challenge all you blogga's to write up your own list as well.
Adrie, Kyra and Ellie. Ellie insisted on being on my team for Queen of the Floatie, after she saw how I dominated the pool.
Little Bree bug! She wasn't very happy after everyone left. I had the pleasure of experiencing baby poop on my clothes for the very first time. Don't worry Bree, I won't hold it against you. I still love you to pieces!
Tadd and Bree
Waiving good-bye to everyone as they left for the SOF.
Little Ava is pretty hilarious. AND, she can say my name!
Waiting for the fireworks to start...
Tadd's family left a bunch of cans of those glowy things, and we played with them like little kids. I even got a little upset when I learned that Tadd gave some to the little kids at the end of the cul-de-sac. I'm such a brat.
I made a loose noose. I'm a poet!
Four of us in I-da-ho.
Alison, that's some major popage!
At the O.G before some awesomeness food. Try the Grilled Shrimp Caprese next time you're there.
Obnoxious girl behind us who felt it necessary to interrupt the Brazilians dinner across the aisle from them. Who just makes small talk over dinner with another table!?
My precious Ali. She's really quite crazy. That must be a bread stick Mary is holding up to block
Ali.
That was a painfully boring post. I hope to entertain a little better in future posts.
