Me on a cooler July day, did I really just say cool & July in the same sentence??!! YES!
Ladonia Frontier Days - Bubble Gum Blowing Contest!
Australian Rodeo Queen at the Ladonia Rodeo!
Les and I spent 4th of July together - Alone! We went and saw fireworks in Anna with my dad and then just the 2 of us in Celina. Celina was the best between the 2 and the weather was PERFECT!! It was a great date night for Les and I. :)
Celina Fireworks Show
Took the kids to Frank Buck Zoo in Gainesville. We had a great time!!
Walked in and found Sadie sitting like this watching TV one afternoon. Pretty funny!!

My MIL and I spent the day together and this was at lunch and after her haircut. We had a great time and reminded me of what it was like before her Alzheimer's got worse. Love you, Doris!!

Summertime FUN!
I just noticed that's its been about 3 weeks (at least.....oops!) since I blogged.
1 week I worked more so a fellow co-worker could go out of town, so I was really busy that week!
We have had a lot of playdates with family and friends. What else is summer good for, right?! :)
Les has been job hunting and had 2 interviews yesterday, so we're praying for God's will. We're trusting that God will tell Les to either change job locations or stay where he is. It's for sure an exciting time; even if God does tell him to "stay". God's ways are always best!
We have been planning our vacation in September. I can't WAIT to go!!! We're going on a cruise to Alaska and I am so excited!!! Cruises are so fun and this is a place that we have been wanting to go to. We wanted to do this cruise for our honeymoon, but they don't do AK cruises in October. We're all 4 going and then my mom and her cousin. We're going to have a blast!
Monday was a neat day with my MIL, Doris. I took her to her dentist appt and when we were sitting there waiting; she told me she wanted to get a haircut, so that's exactly what we did after her dentist appt. The lady that cut Doris' hair was a God-send. She is a believer, works with Alzheimer patients 3x/week at a assisted living place, and is about Doris' age. One thing that I just loved about this lady was when she told me that she prays over her clients when she's washing their hair. How cool is that?! LOVE! Doris and I also went shopping and had lunch together. She was pretty talkative, smiled a lot, hugged me several times, etc. It was like when we used to hang out together when Les and I were dating. Doris and I had a very good relationship and this time that we had on Monday was so much like those days. It just made my day and I felt like my heart was going to burst. I have cried many times over the loss of relationship because of Alzheimer's. It's not fun watching the ones you love lose their mind. Doris, I love you and I'm so glad to have you as a 2nd mom.
Zachary has started Kindergarten this past Monday, so we have had our first full week. This week, I taught him about the creation and then just reviewing writing his alphabet, etc. We've had a great week. The next 3 weeks are going to be focused on reviewing more from last year, but a step harder to get him ready to start the curriculum. This week was fun and we had to break a wall down to get where we needed to be to have a teacher/mom and student/son relationship. I think we're ready for the year and I'm excited to see where we are in a year.
Praise!!!!!!!! My mom had a pet scan last week and we didn't know that it was going to be scheduled. My mom had received a call to schedule the pet scan. We were all pretty nervous about it, but just tried to stay calm and leave it all in God's hands. This past Monday we received the results for her. No Active Cancer! I pulled off the hwy and just cried and praised the Lord for HIS healing hand. I am so thankful and blessed and totally at a loss for words. All praise goes to Jesus!!!!
That's all for now, but stay tuned for a few pictures that I need to post from my phone. :)
