Been seriously MIA lately but uber busy. So, to attempt to catch up here's the run down...
Working like a fiend on ADOT (AZ Dept. of Trans) freeway acquisitions. My latest just completed last week and the current is due by end of the month.
Also updated the main bathroom; new vanity, counter, mirror, lights (everywhere in the house and outside, lighting) and the kitchen is next. Pool is holding up well this year so far...knock on some wood there. Just finished clearing the back yard and ready for a make-over.
TRES TRES BUSY!
However...there's always a way to pull a weekend out and get in some fun. Which we did. We took the little ones to Cali last weekend and enjoyed the beach, shopping, food, and fun at Disney.
Didn't realize Nemo just opened so it was hectic but we really got lucky on just about everything and we scored front row coaster and ride seats just about everywhere which we made the kids sit there as that's prime. 
The big 'ens...well, they didn't get to go cause their grades sucked so summer was home for them. But we had a blast which was really nice to be able to spend some time with just the younger two.Well, no more summer trips planned until October. We've friends in town from NY at the moment that we took out the other night but outside of that life is taming up ... at least for now.
So that's the scoop. I'm going to catch up on my reading now.
