I am amazed at how fast this summer has passed by.
I am three weeks away from finishing my college math classes. YIPEE no more math or so we hope anyway.
Kathy is gone again-this time with my mom. I think she is getting tired though because when I talk to her she mentions coming home or how long til I come home.
Shawn really misses her when she is gone. I really hate splitting them up-it makes them both sad. You don't realize how much they rely on one another til they are separated.
Bryan is working hard and cant wait til we go to the lake in August so he can just breathe. I second that.
We put the pool up and Shawn absolutely loves it. He is like a fish.
Well that is all for now and let you know more late.

JULY 4TH FUN
Ok so we had Kathy's birthday party on the 4th of July. I have to say that this was the most fun I have had on the 4th in a really long time. My mom and dad and aunt and uncler went with us to watch a firework display in Stephenville along with a few church friends.
It was nice to hear my family having fun. The kids played on blankets as my mom and dad really liked what they saw. That is what I like-just watching them have fun together.
It is really strange now but here in the past year I am seeing things from a different perspective. There were times when it didnt bother me when my parents left or I left them but its beginning to change-now I want them to stay for several days and just go doing things. The kids love them and I want them to hang out and have fun with them as much as they can.
Other than that-summer is in full swing. The next few weeks are going to be packed full of water and zoo trips and park trips and maybe a few picnics. We have several waterparks around us that are cheap and little people friendly.
Plus more family time-as much as possible. I dont know if I will go home or not but I do hope they come here again before summer is up. I am thinkin of having an end of summer bash at my house and just having all of the family over-IDK NOT SURE yet.
School is hard on me right now. I thought I would enjoy philosophy but I am really beginning to hate it and rather take a math class. My brain hurts.
Well that is all for now. Hollar back soon.

So these past few weeks have been fast paced. I went home to go to churchcamp. Let me just say that camp is hard now that I have gotten use to having constant access to things when ever Iwant. I hate no cellphone service. And no internet is not any easier. Not to mention no hot water, or the closest starbucks is almost a full 2 hours away.
My daughter is now 7 years old. I am so not okay here. She is growing up way to fast and it is hard for me to let go and watch her fall and make mistakes. I know she has too, but-I dont like it. One thing is for sure, Kathy and Shawn are still very close and love to be together. When they are not together, Shawn misses her. He asks for her. I hope they remain close.
Right now-they are gone until the 4th of July. I have talked daily with them and they are having so much fun. Shawn is growing up and talking like a grown up. I do miss them but I know how important it is for them to both be with grandparents. They are very important in children's lives and help make sure they have fun and implant little things.
SO that is aboutall here, nothin new. Things are starting to calm down hope it stays that way.

Laugh out loud
This school year has been interesting but soo glad that is over. Today was a good day for Kat.
She was given the best, most contagious laugh award. I know that it isnt like the "A" honor roll award but this is much better to me-I now know that others are affected by her incredible and hilarious laugh and smile.
If you ever get to hear it-cherish it as I do I hope you will anyway.
She also did get the A&B Honor roll, and a reading award. I am soo proud of all that she has accomplished and she has grown soo much.
And Shawn has finally learned ALL his ABC's now we just have to get the letters memorized and write his name.
Now here's to the summer. I hope that it is filled with lots of laughs, popsicle grins, late nights of fireflies and cuddling.

Family is always a precious jewel
Sometimes there are things that happen that make you take a huge step back from the whole picture. Unfortunately, this past month has been full of those kinds of times.
We have had several accidents occur, several deaths happen. It never fails the people that these times bring together never ceases to amaze me. Let us never forget that our family is a huge importance and we should let one another know how much they mean to one another. But we do not have to wait til things like things like this happen.
Tell them you love them-big and small.
