This July is filled with excitement!!!
As every july begins, we look for where to watch the fireworks. I don't know what it is, but I always enjoy watching fireworks. I have sworn off the city during this time because apparently the last few years it had been too foggy. So, luckily the though of inviting ourselves to Ms. Skywalker's house, we jumped at the opportunity for another bbq.
It was a nice nite and we were ready.. but by the time we reached the waterfront the excitement began before the fireworks! First, Ms. Skywalker's dog get attacked by a pit bull! All of sudden I hear "get your dog off of him!!" and hear Kobi whimpering from the pain. Although he will be okay, Skywalker says that he still gets a little jumpy.
Then not too long after the comotion... a fire starts on the other side of the water. Apparently set off by illegal fireworks and set off a grass fire behind some homes. I was getting scared because I know that fires can grow pretty quickly. Luckily, the fire dept responded quickly, and the wind wasn't blowin very hard.
By the time it came around the fireworks weren't as amazing as our "pre-show"
As soon as we finished our 4th of July long weekend by not doing anything at all the next day... it was time to go back to work... and prepare for our weekend in Lake Tahoe! Brahma is playing with D.O.M., Dirty Old Men in a softball tournament. Because of the "hook up" from one of the other teammates' wife, we are all staying in suites at the Marriott!!! Woo hoo... luxury for discount prices! And a luxury it was!
We shared a 3 room suite w/ another family who has a son between AJ and Mio's age. Brahma and I took the room w/ 2 queen beds (1 for me and Mio, 1 for Brahma and AJ).. no we still don't share a bed!! my brothers who joined us each took a day bed in the living room, and the other room had a king bed. Then we had a full kitchen and 3 bathrooms, 1 of which had a jacuzzi tub... but didin't need it cuz the swimming pool was just below us!! And of course that is where Aj wanted to be!!
We only got to watch 1 game cuz the kids fell asleep during the next 2 and we couldn't wake up by 9am the next day to watch the last game that eliminated them from the tourney. The highlight of the weekend for me was hanging out with the Moms in the group... imagine 5 women who don't get out much and usually seen with a husband and/or children by the side, suddenly given the freedom to do whatever...
Well, these women can drink.. I can't, as weekender and voodoo can vouch for, so I just took half of that chocolate cake shot, and was done. They even broke out with their cigarettes, and just people watched. We sat in Harvey's to "party w/ Arty" at the bar. I of course had to dance as much of that alcohol as possible. We actually ended up dancing w/ the 2 youngest guys on the DOM team who were invited to join the team for the tournament... so harmless and innocent, I SWEAR!!
We made it back home by 2am and arrived to our room to all the boyz sleeping soundly in bed. Brahma was so knocked out that he did not even budge when I walked in! While we were there, we received a phone call... Mr. & Mrs. Math Major had their baby!!! congratulations you guys... I hope we can visit soon!!! Welcome to the family baby professor!!
Baby Update:
at the tahoe trip, AJ learned how to blow bubbles under water, and Mio lost most of his fear and started to let go of me... he even started to pretend jumping off the wall (from the sitting position).
my babies are crying... but before i go.. there has been progress in the potty training.
today he has gone all day without accidents!!! and he is still in briefs, but I have not dared to leave the house in order to make it consistent... hopefully he will continue tomorrow while staying home w/ Nana!!!
