Girls just wanna have fun

Brandon threw a surprise get together for my b-day. I knew something was up when I looked in the freezer and saw 4 gallons of icecream, I was like "How much icecream cake are you making?" (Don't worry- we didn't eat all 4 gallons, although Brandon's homemade icecream cake was DELICOUS!)

I'm glad we just moved 2 miles away so I can still see these fun girls, and I'm so glad that the girls in my new neigbborhood are so nice and fun, too! They invited me to play soccer w/ them the other night. Me? Soccer? Sure! I'd never really played before. My mom put me in ballet instead of soccer like I wanted (can't blame her- I was her only girl!) ;) Which leads me to this next picture....
Ethan playing soccer in his "one size fits all (even your mother who may need them in a pinch) soccer shorts". Luckily, one of the girls had an extra pair of shin guards, so I didn't have to borrow those from Ethan as well (they were more like ankle guards). I had a good time! So, I guess I better put Hayley on a soccer team this year- you never know when those skills will come in handy! ;)

May & June

I've been in a blogging slump lately, so I'm doing a quick recap. We went to CA and had a great time seeing family and friends!

Mariah enjoying the beach (literally, she's eating the sand- you can see it on her face).

Our little beach bums!

We went to Disneyland. Losta fun!

Ethan's T-ball close-up action shot. ;)

We've moved in and have done some painting (featured color- garbonzo bean). That's about it.... and as you can see from Brandon's post below it's HOT and so most of our waking moments are spent at the pool).

Its Hot!

This picture is definitely worth a thousand words. It is super hot here, but you know, the difference between 100 degrees and 115 isn't much. You do see old ladies driving with oven mits on from time to time because the steering wheel gets toasty.
