It's that crazy summertime fun we are having!

Seems I can't get on top of these posts... ah well. I will just keep trying. Life keeps moving along. So thankful for the nice weather right now, but really wish it wasn't so hot yet. Wish it would wait until we go to Orcas Island next week. Can't wait for that. So looking forward to a nice long vacation. As of now GH is on another business trip to South Korea. Lucky me... home again with my sweet boys. So I am left to prep and pack and wash and blah blah blah for the trip. I hope to have LOTS done by the time he is home, but we will see what I feel up to tomorrow with the heat.

T-man is doing something fun this week that is new to him. He is going to a YMCA camp near us. It is from 9:30am to 3:30pm each day this week. Got in at the last minute. Am so glad I did. He is in the same group as our neighbor's little girl and they are having a great time. And it is only day 1! So tomorrow will prove interesting! They are headed to the lake (not sure which one) for the day. Hopefully he will be told to drink LOTS of water. D-man and J-man and I will hunker down inside tomorrow and get stuff done. Later in the day we might venture into the small pool we have, but we will see. If it is crazy hot I don't know if I will have the energy to clean them up afterwards.

I think that is about it for now. Hopefully more to come, but if not this week then I will write more up on Orcas as I bask in the glow of the water and the view in SILENCE. yes, I am going with my children, but I will bask at night :)

A little bit of me and a whole lot of boys!

I notice it has been over a week since an update. As you can tell, life is rolling along. I have lots to say, but will do it in small posts for a couple days.

Went to Eugene, OR to visit family for the 4th of July. Had a great time. REALLY hot and I don't do well in hot normally, but it went great. The kids did really well. J-man had issues sleeping, but I think it was teething more than anything.

Then T-man went home with my parents on Monday from there and stayed one night with them and then went on up to my in-laws the next day for 3 nights and then came back today to stay with my parents for 3 nights. It is his summer vacation. He misses home a lot, but seems to be doing ok so far this evening.

So my GH and I have had a week to be alone and have younger ones around who can't spell or understand what you are saying :) LOVELY!

GH and I celebrated our 9th anniversary on Wednesday. Can't believe we've been together for 12 years. 3 years we dated and then married :) Seems like just yesterday. He looks different and boy do I look different lemme tell ya!

Went raspberry picking with my neighbor yesterday and she helped (along with her kiddos and niece) to pick 20 pounds of raspberries that will become jam tomorrow :) yippeee! first time doing jam on my own so it should prove entertaining for those who are around.

We just firmed up plans to have our little church over for a big celebratory thingy in early August. I am looking forward to it and so is GH. Our yard is so nice and big and our neighborhood is so nice and quiet it will be great to have a Christian get together. Maybe the pastor across the way will join us? he is from another church in town, but hey.. we are all aiming for the same guy right?

Well, must clean up a bit down here in the Living Room so will quit for now. Might update tomorrow. Not sure yet. We will see :)

Summertime Fun

So I should probably be getting ready for bed, but am here typing a REALLY short update. Boys are doing well. Well, D-man is pushing me to the edge of reason. Bedtime has become a huge issue. He is great with bath time and book time and THEN it is time to actually turn out the lights and go to sleep. He screams and cry's and carry's on and on about wanting someone to come back after we leave and when someone comes he wants the other person. LOTS of screaming. Drives me crazy. He will be quiet for 5-10 minutes and then freak out and cry again. I think I might lose my mind.

We had a fun play date today with a friend from church. She is so much fun and her boys are a riot! So nice for Tate to have friends come and see him instead of just seeing them at church :)

J-man is doing really well at sleeping and eating. Growing like a weed. He might even weigh 20 pounds now. Will check him next Friday to see.

Well, off I go to help D-man go to sleep. Hopefully will have better news tomorrow.
