Summer Fun

Well the kick off of summer is finally here. We went to Nolin last week, we have great friends that invite us to their lake house often. The rain finally has stopped and we have had 90 degree weather for a few days now. The pool is open and the kids went swimming in it for the first time this summer.

While at the lake I met an Amish friend, named Mary. Mary has 10 kids and 29 grandkids. She is very interesting to talk with. She is such a hard worker, she is kind and by the way, makes wonderful home made cinnamon rolls! She is coming to Mt. Washington this weekend and I can't wait to meet up with her. The Amish live such a simple life and sometimes it seems like we, as a society would be better off if we went back to simpler ways!

February 2011

We have had the worst winter that I can remember. I am tired of the snow and tired of cold weather.

Ash has regional swim meets next Friday, cross your fingers. This is her first year on the swim team. She has been improving quite a bit on her times. I think her favorite is the butterfly stroke.

Later this month the cookie mom in me kicks in and we will be receiving and delivering lots of girl scout cookies!

Well I am gonna go for now, waiting on warmer weather!

2010 Update Blur

I know it has been since August for an update, I really thought I would be better about this blog. Truly, my life is pretty boring, so I also thought it was boring to others to read. Anyway, here is my life recently:

We went camping for Halloween and the kids had a great time. Ashley was in the magic show and thought that was pretty cool.

My Granny had a heart attack and triple by-pass. Things were not going well and she was put on a ventilator, ultimately, she made a huge turnaround and will hopefully be released from rehab within the next week or so. Always make time for your family, you never know when you will see them last or when you may not get the chance to say just one more thing.

A co-worker from Sears has a 10 year old son, Ewing Wilson III that was recently diagnosed with leaukemia. Please pray for a speedy recovery!

Baby Sam has his stem-cell transplant tomorrow. He turned one on Thanksgiving Day (11/24).

Thursday

This week has been a little hectic as we had our server crash. I just about missed Ems birthday on Monday, for working with the IT person to try and atleast get the office up and running.

Em turned 8 on Monday and it is just hard to beleive how much she has grown. We have not planned her party yet. She starts 3rd grade this year. Tomorrow we are going to get school supplies so she will be ready next week.

Its been a while....

Sorry its been a while since I posted. We have been busy, as everyone else. Em's birthday is less than 2 weeks away and I have planned nothing! The girls also go back to school in about 3 weeks. We have been building a deck on the pool, I am hoping to have it done soon, Mark has worked really hard on it.

Back to reality! Vacation is OVER!

Well, we ended up making a weekend trip to the lake last an entire week! We had a great time with great friends. We went out on the boat almost everyday, we went to Amish stores, took the kids to the movies to see Toy Story 3. I have got to get back to my Boot Camp, because I eat WAY too much on vacation!

My neice, Lindsey, just has a few more weeks until her baby girl will be here. I am excited for them and praying she can find peace knowing everything will be just fine.

Well, I must get back to the grind!

July 4th Weekend

We are going to a friends house for the weekend. Should be some swimming, fishing and some good eatin'! I have not had a softdrink for a week now, and it will be tough getting through this weekend when they have ice cold cokes in the cooler!!! But if that stuff eats corrosion off a car battery, it truly can't be good for me, so that is what I keep telling myself! I got a week off from bootcamp, but I start back next week. I hope everyone has a safe and fun 4th of July weekend!
