Becca the Star

Becca just finished a week long musical acting camp. She had a blast. She learned acting, dancingm singing and auditioning skills. We were so proud of her when she was cast as Ariel for the The Little Mermaid scenes. Look for her soon on Broadway.

Summer bugs`````````````

If you are ever in Las Vegas in late July you will hear an electrical like buzzing when you go outside. They are these bugs, cicadas is what I think they are. One can make a lot of noise. Last night my girls went out about midnight and found them emerging from their shells. We have found these crunchy shells before with a slit on the back where you could tell something came out, but last night was the first time they saw it in action. They came running in the house to share their new founded knowledge with their sleeping mother. Learning new things is so fun.

Thomas had a birthday

Thomas had birthday this month. He is my big, brave, don't mess with me 6 year old. Luckily his smile melts hearts. He is my inspiration. He fights his prunebelly battles with gusto. He loves his doctors and can't wait to see them. Last Friday we had an appointment with the nephrologist. Thomas was awake when his dad went to work at 4:30 in the morning excited to go see Dr. Aigbe. His appointment went well and things look good. We pray they always will.

Life at our house

Sunday, what a wonderful day for blogging, and sleeping. This Sunday I am blogging. Our family is doing great. Swimming is our past time during these hot summer days and nights. The girls had their second swim competition on Saturday. The swam well. It is so fun to see them improving every year. They are even considering trying out for a year round city swim team. The fourth of July was a lot of fun. With the kids getting bigger we let them light the fireworks and just sat back and watched. Linda, Gabby, and Charlotte then serenaded the neighborhood with patriotic songs sung from the top of the roof. They had a little too much soda in their veins. Having kids is such fun. Today is one of those days that I wish we could just stop and live like this forever.
