Vandalism?

All Memorial Day weekend long we have had non-stop traffic going to and from our neighbors across the street. It has been insane. Never the same vehicle twice, never staying for too long, always leaving stuff on the ground that they didn't bother to pick up before they left. It started on Friday with a steady stream. Then Saturday through Monday were incredible, sometimes what looked like hundreds of people at once. There was never a dull moment over there. On Monday they even started playing loud music. Even yesterday (Tuesday) and today (Wednesday) they have had traffic, although not nearly so bad, just a couple here and there every hour or so. Crazy. It's going to take them days to clean it all up. I'll tell you more in a minute -- I even have pictures to show you.

Meanwhile, we got some new family pictures taken at a local park. Our kids are growing up so fast that it always seems like we need a new one.
We even got Koda in on them this time.
Adelyn and I went to Saver's the other night (Curtis and Hadley were at the ward father/sons overnighter -- although they didn't stay overnight) and picked up some new dress-up clothes. Look at these way cool shoes! (they're about the same size as those plastic princess ones you can buy at the dollar store)
Here's Hadley in some of the new stuff. (My mom even donated a cowboy hat) I got a small (but still big on him) jersey, a hideous clip-on tie, some sunglasses, a yellow rain jacket and those shoes -- something a boy can dress up in a little better. But he still really likes the necklaces and the green boa.
Back to the neighbors across the street.
The music on Monday that I mentioned was Reveille (sp?) and TAPS. It was beautiful.
Did I get you? :)

Okay, you got me. A cemetery must be a lot nicer than constant-party neighbors. Cute family pictures! So weird to see your kids' hair so blonde and yours not!

You totally got me. My first thought was, "Does Elise live across from a drug house?!" haha.

Your family pics are SOOOOO cute! Your kiddos look a lot alike. And I LOVE the way you are doing your hair - it looks really good on you!

Yeah so I am a dork, not only did I fall for that but it has taken me a bunch of trys to post a comment. I kept clicking on the wrong thing. Anywa, cute family pics! Oh and I meant to tell you on Sunday but spaced, I hope you don't mind but I am not going to do that book thing. I have done them before and had them not work so I didn't want to waste my time. Thanks anyway though! See ya on the 19th! Sara
