Burn Out

Apparently even dogs can only study for so long. Boston did not find my homework very interesting!

Growing Up!

I only have a few days left before my oldest child becomes a teenager. I am pretty sure she has spent the las 13 years waiting for this. She is not your stereotypical teenager at all. She is loving and kind to her siblings and quick to apologize when she is wrong. She loves spending time with her friends and is very active in her Jr. High youth activities. I am looking forward to her future and watching her ease her way into adulthood!

Hot!

Compared to the last several days today was HOT! That's okay though, we love it! To celebrate the break in rain we packed a picnic and headed to the splash park today. It was a great way to cool off and I was able to relax and read while the kids splashed!

Memorial Day

It has been a great long weekend . After much thought we decided to hang ou around the house this time . We planted our garden which we are all pretty excited about. We planted tomatoes , peppers, cucumbers, squash, watermelon, strawberries, and pumpkins. Hopefully we will have a nice harvest!

We also went swimming at the rec center which we have been doing several times a week. Buster is really comfortable in the water this year and is starting to actually swim. Today we walked over to the lake and the kids swam despite the freezing water temperature. We spend a lot of time at the lake anyway but it will be even more fun now that the swim beach is open!

Last night we barbecued ribs and had a really nice dinner . It was the first night that we didn't have a major rainstorm with flash flooding in several days! I hope everyone else is have a memorable Memorial Day!
