Summer Fun

We have had lots of fun already this summer doing different activities. We started our summer off with the Horton family reunion in East Texas. We spent some time with the family on and off Lake Quitman. I think this was the first year that the "little ones" were able to create their own fun. We left the reunion and then I took the kids to Roanoke, Texas to visit our dearly missed friends, the Ellis family. The kids had fun spending time together again and making new memories. We were so sad to go but promised to come back when NASCAR comes to the racetrack in November. All of the boys, including Nick, are eagerly anticipating this event :)

We've had lots of fun spending time with some of our buddies that we don't get to see all that often. I had as much fun as they have catching up with everyone. My niece, Brianna, came and spent a couple of days with us. I love having a little girl around to spoil. Zachary was glad when she went back to Grandma's house. LOL....he doesn't do well with sharing his mommy.

Zachary turned five on June 29th. It's mind boggling to think that he is starting Kindergarten in the fall. Where does the time go???

Much to our disappointment, we could not travel to Newfoundland, Canada, as planned. Unfortunately with the Continental merger it completely messed up the airfare prices. I couldn't justify spending over $800 per ticket when we normally spend $500 plus baggage fees. So, we are saving our nickels for a trip next summer. I'm praying that the airfare situations will be resolved. The boys have not been back to Canada since Zachary was crawling. So our Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and friends will have to wait one more year. BOO!!!!

We are planning a trip to Sea World in San Antonio. The boys are excited to be spending several days there and about spending the night in a hotel. It's the little things that make them happy....just like their momma.

I have attacked several house projects that I have been putting off. My master bedroom is almost painted and Brendan's room is next. My "To Do" list is finally getting some things crossed off of it.

I am thoroughly enjoying my summer and the time off from school. It has been a rocky year for our family so it's nice to have some down time. I'm loving spending the time with the boys and my girlfriends. This is Nick's busy time of the year so we cherish the time that we are together as a family.
