Can you tell I'm burning out on the blog after 3 1/2 years? Yes, I've been trying to keep this darn thing going since Feb of '07, eeek.

Anyhow, we drove up to Reno this past weekend to see the Reno Air Races. I'm not a big air show fan but this was really cool. Watching planes race was something new to me and worth it. The kids did great, thank goodness for the most awesome double stroller. The drive sucked, eight hours but we managed. Road trips were so much easier when the kids were in diapers, now we have to pee on the side of the road. Deegan enjoys selecting the biggest rock he can find so he can aim for it. He's such a boy. Kenna likes her little travel port-a-potty seat. Actually Deegan got to lay down a dump on the side of the road too, good stuff, NOT. Just thought I'd share. We stayed at the Circus Circus for two reasons, cheap and great for kids. It's not as fun as the Vegas Circus but it served its purpose and we successfully shelled out $50 or so for way too many stuffed animals. The kids loved every moment of it and are still asking to play games. We're thinking next year it might be fun to rent a motor home and go back up there. Yes, it was that much fun.

Hmm, what else? Kids still soccer practice three nights a week, first game coming up this weekend. I've got them in swim lessons on Sundays. In October we'll start going two days a week. I'm looking forward to them getting the swim thing down asap.

The house appraisal came through, way more than we were expecting and hoping for. So that would be a good and a bad thing I suppose. It appraised right at their asking price which is odd. So I wonder if they had it appraised on their own before listing? Anyhow, we're begging to get an earlier closing date, maybe Oct 1st, we'll have to wait and see.

I'm going to visit a girlfriend and her family down in Phoenix this weekend. Erik is on kid duty full time for a few days. He gets to do soccer games and swimming while trying to stay awake. His work schedule is temporarily out of whack right now.

I squeaked out an A- in my essay writing class, phew. I wasn't sure about that one. Not too bad for never reading any of the chapters I suppose. I'm still holding straight A's out of my six classes that I've completed. Right now I'm into Cultural Diversity and Research Writing, fun fun.

Well, I'm off to go pick up my Twinkies from school. Later.
