Can you believe that the 4th of July is only two weeks away? As far as I'm concerned, summer can be over after the 4th. All I do is suffer thru until September after that holiday!
Mark took most of last week off - work was slow and he finished up in the shop in one day. He didn't have anything else scheduled so we piddled around the place and did some fun family things together. Back to work this week though.
Emily has been swimming every day since we got the pool open and she is doing pretty good with it. We give her pain pills before she goes and it hasn't been too bad.
Seth is living life large. He is having a ball being a free wheelin' teenager. He and his buddies are on the go everyday doing something fun... long-boarding, swimming, going to the lake, to the river, to the pool, going to the city (Norman and Oklahoma City) to the malls. I am so happy for him that he is getting to enjoy being a teen. He briefly had a girlfriend, but, found out that she drank and he put an end to that in a hurry. He is smarter than the average bear.
My garden looks beautiful, things are growing and producing even though I am having to water every other day. The yard is starting to die already from lack of rain.
I have about half of the pastures mowed. I'm not having to mow the yard at all.
I am planning a weekend getaway for our anniversary, going to Tulsa, to the aquarium, and just general messing around for a couple of days.
Business has been pretty good, staying fairly busy and we can pay bills, so, it is all good.
Travace has been sick a lot with colds, fevers, teething, baby stuff. He is cute as a bug. His personality reminds me so much of Seth.. laid back and easy to get along with .. until he gets mad. He is a fast little bug... crawls like the wind... he can walk, he just can get there faster crawling so that is what he does. He is almost as big as Zoe and is learning, quickly, to hold his own with her.
Zoe, Zoe, Zoe... the absolute love of my life right now and a huge pain in the butt all at once. She is demanding and bossy as hell, sassy and loud, talks up a storm. She can count to 12, knows her colors, can spell her name, is a little smart ass and loves her Grandma!!! She is scarred of absolutely nothing, except bugs and she really, really doesn't like bugs. She insists that I make her a pallet in the floor, get her covers and pillow, take off my glasses and lay down beside her every day.. she kisses me on the cheek and then pushes my head down on the pillow and tells me... SLEEP! Every once in a while out of blue she will look at my and tell me "YUCK, tiggers don't like honey. icky, sticky stuff" and then bounce away....
She is as wild as her hair makes her look.
So, what have you guys been up this summer?

Awesome. I love hearing about the minusche. We're still waiting for summer here!
Zoe is so freaking cute!!! Hayden is the opposite with bugs. He loves them and insists on bringing them to me when he finds one. EWW! He is also the opposite with the sleep thing. When I pretend to take a nap he yells "WAKE UP!". He does it when I'm not pretending too which can be a little frustrating.
They would be great friends I am sure!
I can't believe It's almost July. The time is going by so quickly. I've got a couple weeks off from school after today and I am going to enjoy them. This level has been a busy one. We have plans to go to the Zoo and Kennywood ( a local amusement park).
I can just imagine those two together... WoW!! what fun they would have!! Hope you have a wonderful summer break.
