To Wax or Not to Wax

So we took a trip down to Madam Tussaud's Wax Museum on the strip mostly because it was teachers and a guest get in free but also because we knew there were photo ops. galore. Can you name all the stars?
Steph and Colby cutting a rug with Beyonce. Wait a sec what is Colby up to?
That is just sick.
High Five!?
Awww everyone needs a hug even in the middle of a block.
Whassss up?
Sing it Steph
Oh he's so cute
Rachel has decided to take on a second job. I hope that's green kool-aid.
Hmmm...
Peek-a-boo!

Let's see what else?...

Oh yes, field trip! In the past I have taken my second graders and other visitors to the Mandalay Bay Shark Reef. The Shark Reef gives teachers a pretty sweet deal it is free for us and 1 other guest so the 4 of us (Steph, Colby, Kurt, and I) got in free and had our own field trip it was lots of fun. Kurtis: "Pretty shark"
Colby channeling his inner aztec anger.
Ohh accessories
Colby and Kurtis at the petting zoo... be brave
Steph looks great I will leave Colby's expression up to your own interpretation.

Late night

To fry or not to fry that is the question. About midnight we usually either crash or come up with something off the wall. Shane bought a fryer at Walmart and we got busy...
Here are a few of our friers Colby, Steph, and Shane
...and here are a few of our tasters Tanya and Kurtis

Night Fun

First of all I have the best group of friends a gal could ask for. We enjoy staying out late and sometimes that leads to the following:

Night croquet!

Colby lining up his shot.
Kurtis just likes modeling with the mallet.

An update... Way overdue!

I know I know it has been FOREVER since I updated this thing. I have kind of had a busy life but that is no excuse. Since I am now on summer vacation I have high hopes of updating to the present all the fun I have been up to in 2009. Well start with the old and work to the new. First of all I started my Masters in curriculum with an emphasis in Humanities. I am doing it through Touro university. I have liked it as much as you can like going to school, I have no complaints that can't be fixed with peanut M&M's and a diet cherry limeade. Well let's get on with some pictures I know that is the fun stuff to look at...

I have a super wonderful fun group of friends and we are always looking for something cheap and fun to do on the weekends and so the following are some of our endeavors to meet the aforementioned criteria:

My Room (for Rischel)

I promised my sister-in-law I would post some pictures of my room. I worked on painting it this summer and am slowly decorating it. I planned a more sea blue but I got kind of a robin egg blue... oh well it works now and I am too lazy to cover it up. No worries the cieling and window coverings are not blue they are an off white.
