July 2009

Well July is almost over. We have had an interesting & very busy month.

Mondays are now free. The Church Bowling League has ended until Fall.

Wednesdays stayed busy since Bret & Paige are now in Pike's Swim Class at the YMCA.

Saturdays stay busy between Bret's Tee-ball games in the late morning/early afternoon to Brian's softball games...double headers in the evening (the kids & I don't go since they are normally too late)!

Tuesdays & Thursdays fill up quickly with other things that pop up or things we need to do! Fridays the kids & I try to find new parks & activities to do to fill our day!

Sundays are church & relaxing....family day!

I added pics of some of the fun we have been having!

We have a big project going on in the backyard. We leveled out an area for the kids swingset! Now if it would just stop raining on the days Brian has time to put it together! (Picture)

On July 10th I had a Surprise 30th Birthday Party for Brian! His actual birthday is 7/13. He loved it!! He called on his way home from work saying how "hot, tired & hungry" he was.....wow was he in for a surprise with about 20+ friends waiting for him to arrive! He LOVED his cake (Thank you Tracie)!! For those that don't know....Brian has an addiction....he LOVES guns so that is why the cake is a gun in a gun case! (Picture)

On July 25th we had a pretty nasty Thunderstorm! Lightning almost hit our house!!! About a foot away from the corner of our house to be exact! (Picture) Due to this lovely event....we lost our TV......so on July 26th Brian & I made our 2nd biggest purchase....the house being the 1st....a Panasonic 52" Plasma TV! I had to twist Brian's arm...I know shocking but true! (Picture) We LOVE it! Christmas in July for us!

We have had a very cool summer so far....and rainy! So we will see what August brings! One big exciting thing for August we have.....Bret's Kindergarten Screening!!! It is getting close! We can't believe he is going to Kindergarten in September!!!
