We are so happy daylight savings is back! The kiddos are really glad too.. they have been outside playing every night. As soon as we are pulling into the cul de sac the other kids are calling for Heather to come play too.. Love it! 

Dingo pup gets some play time too

Molly wanted to see what I was taking pictures of..

kids vs dogs...the ultimate came of keep away 

Heather was plotting the next attack..

her and Johnnie are great friends

J and H were zombies and werewolves chasing the older kids

Alex better pedal faster.... Heather was gaining speed

she thought about trying skateboarding but saved that for another day :) 

we are very happy to have such a fun cul de sac for the kiddos to play in!

Its raining.. Its pouring...

“I wake up the morning cup of coffee in my hand and a song in my head, 

Outside it's pouring, I heard the weather man say that I should stay in

There ain't no sunshine but it's all right ain't no blue sky's but it's feels

Right I'll get the rain on my skin I'm ready for the day to begin.

I hear the drip, drip falling on my as the lighting joins in and the

Thunder starts like a beat box, got a smile on my face, it's the perfect

Day to go dancing in the rain…”

rain or shine we always have fun! It poured like crazy Saturday so we put on the rain boots and danced in the rain drops. 

for some reason Heather thought my umbrella was much more fun

trying to catch some rain drops =) 

no matter what the day may bring.. make the most of it and have some fun! 

Battle at Primm

A full weekend of fun at the races!! 

we had told the kids they had to stay behind the blue line.. of course Heather is right up next to it just pushing it out a bit.. but she's behind it =) she is so like her Mommy =) 

Analina tried the bucket hat look .. it defiantly keeps the sun out of your face 

proud pappa alert! Wayne was so excited to have his daughter Gabbie race with him .. she was extatic as well. She raced Sat and Sunday and then took her drivers license test on Monday! 

Wayne was on it!

first race.. they did good! 

our friend Derek was also racing.. I guess you can say we have a thing for red race trucks...

girls just having fun! there was no battery in the truck but it didnt seem to matter =) 

this cracks me up.. where did her feet go and what happened to her hands LOL 

2 of their kids are away at College (berkley and Olivet) This is the amazing family we get to race with 

Analina made a sign for her Daddy and big sister

getting ready for the pass

 passed him in the turn.. yeah! 

Libby isnt in our class but there's still some competitive spirit here.. Wayne is in front and Libby trying to pass...

Wayne made him work for it but Libby's trophy truck has more power than our 1400 class truck 

happy girl in the dirt ..

the youngest Lugo Isabella.. wonder how she got so much dirt in her shoe? =) 

Amazing weekend w/ amazing friends we are lucky enough to consider family

we're just a dirty family...

What can I say.. we love dirt! its good for the soul =) 

happy girl playing in the dirt

even mud pies need that little extra something to make it prettier 

Dingo liked the fort Heather built for her

caught in action!! decorating the Dingo.. obviously Dingo is just happy w/ the love and a comfy pillow 

made a stop by our dry lake.. it had been so long since we have been here! Heather mentioned going to the desert on our way home so we made a detour and made a special stop
