Who is she kidding? I think Martha must have yelled that every 15 minutes or so for about an hour and a half. So funny. Nobody wanted to pull themselves away from Saturday night's fun pool party with our awesome neighbors. We are so unbelievably blessed to have them. I can't believe how many people really don't care for their neighbors or don't even know them. When we moved in 12 years ago, the neighborhood was mostly made up of empty nesters...with one exception...our next door neighbors, who happened to have kids our kids ages. Slowly, over the years, the hood is turning over to young families again. It's a rebirth and it's wonderful! These are good people. We love them. These are "can i borrow a cup of sugar?" kinda people..."we'll keep an eye on your house while you're gone" kinda people..."let's road trip to IKEA" kinda people..."if the tornado sirens go off, you can come down our basement" kinda people..."let's get together and have a few cocktails" kinda people. They know how to have a good time!
These things I know for sure...
-
good friends are an extension of your family
-
Kirkland brand pre-made margaritas from Costco are super yummy and stronger than you think
-
life is so good

Casey {superman in photo above} is soooo lucky that i couldn't figure out how to upload the video of him "walking the catwalk" on the diving board.........yet.
