Please watch the drummer in this video!  He is a cross between my husband, Ty, and my seven year old nephew, Jacob.  Enjoy!!!

It's been waaay to long!

Well I wish I had a good excuse for my lack of blog updates, but honestly I don't.  This summer has been mad crazy, but I've definitely had enough time to blog about it.  Frankly, I've just been lazy, but my sister-in-law, Jessica, has been great with her blogging.  Therefore, I will be attaching the links of some of  her posts for a few of my updates.  :)  Thanks Jess!

This summer has been a total blast despite the fact that it's hotter than Hades!   I made a trip down to Orlando the last weekend of May for my soon to be sister-in-law, Jessica, with my mom, sister, and baby brother. (Yep...I soon will have two sister-in-laws named Jessica, which works out well for someone like myself who can't even remember her own name!) Anyhow, we got a good visit in with the soon-to-be Mr. & Mrs. Billy Jensen!!!

We had an awesome time at Portifino in early June with the family.  The kids had an absolute blast at the beach, pool, waterpark, etc.  Fun in the sun and plenty of good eats!!!  My only complaint was the visit was waaaaay to short!  :)  We'll definitely have to extend our stay next year.

The following weekend, Ty and I, had a sprint triatholon, which was short and sweet.  Just the way I like it.  The next two weekends included the 4th of July, and Blue Angels.  The Blue Angels put on a great show along with all the drunks running around Pensacola Beach.  Kidding aside the BA show was spectacular!!

Now on to my special trip away from the life of Laura.  I flew out to Texas to visit the Devenny's (Jess, Mike, Jacob, Parker, & Eden) sans my hubby and kids.  I felt guilty at first about leaving them behind because I knew they would have a blast with their cousins.  However, that guilt quickly went away when I was sitting at Cheesecake with Jess, Ashley, and Erin enjoying a glass of wine over lunch!  :) The long weekend went a little like this.  Jess and I got the "twins" question thrown at us the entire visit (much to Ty's dismay!).  Anyhow, I had a blast and got a real good visit in with Jess, Mike and the kids. 

The party didn't end there....I rode with Jess, the kids, and their new puppy, Sixer, back to Florida.  My kids were finally reunited with Jess's kids and all was well.  Although, my desire for a bigger house grew intensely when the house was packed full with 5 kids all under the age of 7, three super cool adults, and one teeny tiny pup!  Wowzers!  All and all...it was still loads of fun no matter how tight the living conditions.  Anyhow, we  celebrated Jacob's 7th birthday with him at Big Kahunas and came home to enjoy cake!

                                       

I was also lucky enough to enjoy another GNO with Jessica and all her high school friends.  Good times!

                                      

My other sister-in-law, Sara, came in town with her two little girls, Kaitlyn and Kylie, for a quick visit while her hubby, J.E. (my big bro), partied with my lil bro, Billy, @ his bachelor party.  Unfortunately, we didn't get to visit with them as much as we would like, but we did leave them with parting gift.  My kids got her kids sick!!!!  Sorry Sara!!!!  I owe you one! 

Okay, so that's it for now.  I am absolutely sick and tired of blogging today!!!!  I really need to get on a schedule with this blogging crap because I don't like playing catch up...it's to much work!
