The demise of my Blog

I have been so slack about keeping up with this blog (and my work blog too!) and I blame it all on my iphone! This phone is amazing and can do so much that it has kept me away from the real computer so much that I keep forgetting to update the blog. It is a good thing that I'm not chained down to the desk anymore, but there are a few certain things that I just don't do as much of these days because of it. Granted, like I said, this thing is amazing, I CAN post blogs from the phone, it just isn't as easy to type so I tell myself that I'll do it later on the real computer but then don't get around to it.

Ross went to Dubai to see his brother play in the Rugby 7s World Cup at the beginning of the month. Here is a picture of him and his LITTLE brother.

They did very very well and won 3rd place overall! Ross hadn't seen Grant in about 6 years and his parents got to go too, so they had quite a good time in Dubai. Zimbabwe made a big stir in the media there because of all they had overcome to get there and all. Ross and his parents made the front page of the Dubai paper on the 2nd day they were there! (If Windows Vista wasn't so retarded and would allow my scanner to function I would have a picture here, but I don't, sorry). Here is Grant signing autographs.

My dad went internet shopping again and sent Lily 2 new bathing suits. So, of course, I had to take her to the beach to try them out.

I love this sprinkler park area they have here in Hollywood. It is right next to a parking garage that charges less per hour than the meters on the street, and there are bathrooms there too. It is perfect.

Actually, lately we've been taking advantage of all sorts of government funded things. I figured if it is there for us to use, we better be using it. The county gave away free native trees the other day and I got up early and went and picked up two! I've gotten a library card and been going to festivals and all sorts of stuff. Anything that is close-by and free.... I'm in.

Here is Lily with her face painted at the St. Patrick's Day parade.
That morning I woke up and realized that Lily had not one article of clothing that was green! A couple years back I made a bunch of St. Paddy's day skirts and patchworked together the leftover fabrics when I was done. I didn't know what I would do with that patchwork piece, but it sure came in handy this year. I made Lily a new dress with it. :)
