When the temp hit 100 Phoenicians go swimming, or run to the closest air conditioning they can find. Shelby and I have been finding ourselves catching some rays and taking a swim every afternoon this week. The pool is just right and my tan is getting there. Shelby on the other hand Shelby is wearing SPF 50, but my little butterball is turning a golden color. I try to put hats on her but she rips them off as soon as I get it on.
This summer Amanda and I have decided to work our buns off. We have started hiking and hitting the gym. The Bikram Yoga 3 times a week will start next week. We are staying very active and by the end of the summer I will proudly swim without my board shorts. Which, may I add, are very cute!
We just went to a really kick butt birthday party for our friend Eric. I hope to get pics soon. Although some of them might be pretty crazy since the blender was non-stop with Margaritas and Daiquiris all day long. It was a fun day for most who attended. Some people had to leave early, but it looked they were having a good time. :) It is always nice to hang out with old friends and enjoy each other's company. My sister in-law Heather made an awesome Birthday cake.
Shawn has been very busy in the backyard this week. The Tikki hut is done and now he is laying the paver's around the pool. We recently decided to put a rock waterfall in the other corner of our pool area. My dad is going to help us, we are really excited. We just figured why go anywhere when we can make paradise in our own backyard. The pool fencing is done and is crazy. Shawn is so creative it blows my mind. Lets just say it is not your typical pool fence. To everyone who is invited to Shelby's birthday Luau, you will see what I mean. Speaking of her party, I just ordered a boatload from Oriental Trading Co. Everything is going to be all decked out. Definitely the best party we have had to date. Invites will be going out soon. So keep an eye for it in your mail boxes.
In a few weeks we will take Shelby's one year picture. Should be really cute.
