Keys, Fireworks and Cats. Any want a Cat?

I know.... I have not done my blog on a decent timetable. I think our household is exhausted after my brothers visit! But here it is! For those of you that haven't already read my brothers blog, here is his blogdress. http://phoenixpisces.blogspot.com/ He has pictures I don't and a more detailed account of some of our days.

First and for most, I must say how MUCH I enjoyed Franks visit with us. For those of you that don't know Franks and my past history, I will give a very short synopsis. When we were kids, I was very very jealous of him. So we fought.. ALL.. THE.. TIME.. I don't know why, and I am not going to analyze it now. However, as adults we have discovered that we are very similar in personalities. As an adult, I can very much appreciate it. We had the BEST TIME EVER!! It was the most UNstressful 10 days I think Ive ever had!

Here is Caleb eating off a spatula of some cheesecake dessert I made.

On the road!! to somewhere or another??? Bro eating something or other at Bubba Gumps at Universal Studios. The boys in a Cool Down Tank at Universal Studios. It was warm, but very tolerable. Look at all that cold water mist on them!! The boys in front of Poseidon's Fury. If you look closely you might see Frank, Christina, and Zachary on the raft. Zachary LOVED this ride. It was his first time on this one. He got SOAKED!!! Caleb was big enough, but did not want to go on it at all. He apparently didn't like it at Disney. (Same basic ride) Caleb will go on anything at once, but it takes him awhile to decide to go again. He did go on Spiderman, Simpsons, and Men In Black. He said WWHHEE the entire time! SO CUTE!!! My new tattoo on my leg. Calebs tattoo on his arm. Zacharys tattoo on his arm. Yes, they were fake. All of them. However, not for long. I am so itching to get another one, and Mike keeps SAYING he wants one. So be prepared!!!

Us walking thru Universal Studios

LOOK OUT!!!!!! Hungry dinosaur!!! Here we are at the Keys. We drove all the way to Key West. Took us several tries before we found the best beach to snorkel. But once we did, OMG!!!!! what a BLAST!!! This pic is hard to tell, but Zachary really got HOW to snorkel, and he loved it!! He totally did it just like you are suppose to! We even explored a sunken ship! A few words about the Keys. They aren't the softest beaches. There are coral reefs a few miles out, so it keeps the beaches from getting sandy. Which means they are rocky. The reefs stop waves from coming in, so snorkeling and probably scuba diving is very good. So if you ever go, bring water shoes or flippers so that your bare feet are not cut up. That said. It was ssoooooo fun!! We all LOVED LOVED LOVED snorkeling! So did Zachary, Christina, and Frank. Caleb did not want to put his head under. Mike and I had snorkeled before on our cruises, and really enjoyed it, but seeing our family enjoy themselves, and watching Zachary, made the entire trip incredibly wonderful!!! We WILL go back!!

Bro left the 4th. He says he is moving here after he is done in culinary school.

We are keeping our fingers crossed!!! Bro left the morning of the 4th. Then Mike went out and bought all these fireworks. They are legal here. ALL fireworks are. But I'd only let him buy little ones. Is there REALLY such a thing? Little FIREworks?

They really liked the sparklers.

Oh My Goodness! Look at our grass!! Mike had it mowed June 14th. This was July 4. Wow. Looks like we live in a jungle!! It has rained here every day.You can tell!!!

yes, Mike mowed, the next day!

This was the day after he mowed. Doesn't it look better?!And these are our new family members. At least for now. Saturday Mike spent hours talking about having another baby. Sunday he came home with 3 kittens. 4 week old kittens. I hope hes getting BABY out of his system!! Any one want a cat?

3 New Kitties. I never knew little cats could be so much work. They are not weaned. Not litter boxed trained, and have no idea how to eat or drink. I cant even tell 2 of them apart!!

Any one want a cat?

You can imagine how our last few days have been. They still don't have names! Nascat is soo pissed at me. Everytime I say his name he growls at me. Freeway is ticked too. So now we have 5 cats. 3 with no names, and very high maintenance. They are rescue cats, like all of our other ones. Some jerk left them in a box in a store parking lot. In 90+ weather. Nice huh? We called the shelters, but none are taking any. Christina's friends took 2 of the 5. At least they are friendly and lap cats. So our days and nights are now filled with bottle feeding and litter training. Any one want a cat?

I thought I'd throw this picture in because it is so THE BOYS. They sleep together snuggled, yet like the cats, sleep with arms and legs all over the other one. Any one want a cat?

So thats been our life lately. Always an adventure!
