3 & 4 – A few lunch dates with the boys – Rubios and In.n.Out.  Two favorites!

5 – A play date at the Childrens Museum.

6 – Grandma Marz was out of town so we hung out with papa all weekend.  We introduced him to a snow cone shack.

7 – Ryan, Ryan – what are we going to do with you?  He’s got a killer tantrum.

8 – A little running on the treadmill never hurt anyone.

9 – Kiley & I got a sitter and spent a few hours on a raft in my parent’s pool.  It was wonderful.

10 – Aunt Sam took Nate bowling.  His bowling name was Rhino.

11 – Wes & I went out on a date to Texas de Brazil – a restaurant we’ve been wanting to try for a while – for our 9 year anniversary.  We need more date nights.

17 & 18 – Holy rain this month!  We had two days where we were pretty flooded.

19 – Ali & I organized an end-of-the-year pool party at our parent’s house.  It was great fun – a tradition, I’m sure.

21 & 22 – Kyle turned 15.  We got to go bowling and to Metro to celebrate.
