Can you find the drone that was flying high above us at the park?

It was lower in this picture.

Called Jack in the morning to sing to him and wish him Happy Birthday at Kimmy's.  The girls and kids all came over.  I made brownies to have for his birthday.  He was pretty happy.  The kids all played and had fun and we had a nice time visiting.  Kimmy ordered our safety net for our trampoline and new padding.  She worked hard doing it.  We had chicken in the crock pot to make sandwiches with, some of the kids ate sloppy joes and a couple had pb&j's.  It was a fun day.  When everyone left, I met Vikki and Peyton at the park and we watched Lenny swim and then went for a walk around the lake.  Came home and got the last drawers emptied and put away.  

7/14/16....Worked on bedroom drawer changing, picking up stuff around the house, etc

Hailey's Oreos for breakfast!  She did have cereal first though.  See my healthy oatmeal with raisins and nuts in the background!

Hailey worked really hard helping me get these tall weeds pulled out of the garden.  Bill didn't till it since it first started coming up about 7 weeks ago.  YIKES

Beautiful helper

A couple of the piles of weeds we pulled

The weeds were almost as high as the corn.  Good thing the ground was wet so they pulled out pretty easy

Finally we could see where the plants were

We took Evan's surprises over for having his surgery.

He was doing really well

Melissa loves this health salad Bruce makes..  I tried it and it was very yummy

Bill at his Marine Corp. Picnic in Auburn.  We had a really nice time and got to share  with a few people about the miracles God has done in our family.  Thank You Jesus

The whole group of guys

Hailey woke up and came and got me in the garden.  I took the fence down around it.  We both ate breakfast and then went out to start pulling weeds.  There were tons of them and they were big.  We got almost the whole garden done and then went in and watched Little House and had cookies and lemonade.  We went to see Evan and take him his surprises:  a big Star Wars coloring book, a remote doggie and bone, and a little car that swims on water.  Hailey helped me pick them out and he sure did like them. Went to Aldi's and got sour kraut and sausage to make for the potluck.  Came home and got the stuff cooking and also made brownies to take.  Went to the potluck and had a nice time.  Didn't know anyone, but met a lot of nice people and was so happy to get to share about the miracles God has done for our family and how Awesome He is.  Slept great in our new bed.  So comfy.

7/13/16...Evan had his surgery to take tonsils, adenoids out and put tubes in his ears

He looks pretty happy before his surgery.  Good thing he has his bear with him.

After surgery

Evan had his surgery today.  So thankful it went well and it is over for him now.  Praying for a quick recovery for my sweetie.  Kimmy has Evan and Jack, and Hailey is at Celeste's so he will have a quiet place to recover when he gets home.  Picked up Hailey when she got home and we went to Walmart to get Evan's present and some snacks and lemonade.  We watched Little House and ate our treats and then went to bed.  

7/12/16....Leaving Outdoor adventures today....Vikki, Peyton and Isaac came over and so did Kenzie

Took a morning walk....it was beautiful out!

Isaac, Peyton and their Mommy came over to see us when we got home.  They had been to the dog park and it rained so they came over.

Our new bedroom furniture Bill got on Craig's List.  The people were moving and it was still wrapped up.  They never used it.  So nice!

Got up early to finish packing as much up as I could before Bill came to pull the camper home.  After that I went for a walk around the whole campground and then went for a swim.  Not many in the pool today.  Very nice cool refreshing swim as it was very warm out.  Supposed to hit 90 some degrees today.  Bill came at around noon and I made him a hotdog.    We finished packing everything and headed home.  When we got home Bill showed me the furniture for our bedroom was in the garage all shrink wrapped.  We started undoing it and it began pouring rain outside.  Vikki and the kids came and I let them in the garage.  I was closing the garage door and I heard a horn honk.  It was Kenzie.  They both helped us unwrap and move furniture.  Kenzie brought her guitar and played a nice song for us.  She's learning how to play and does great.  Vikki and Bill moved the furniture from our room upstairs so we could put the new furniture in.  We set it all up and made the bed.  It looks so nice.  Thank you for all of your help Vikki and Kenzie.  Slept really good on the new bed.

7/11/18 Kimmy and the boys came today

Shannon's Baby.  He's getting big

The kids had fun swimming together

Jacob, Eli, Max, Adam, Isaac and Peyton on the playground 

Got up and took these two cute boys outside for breakfast while Vikki and Peyton slept in.  We were up really late last night.

Max and Isaac were awake when I got up so I had them get dressed and we went outside.  Ate and then I walked around while they rode their bikes.  We got back to the camper and Isaac said he heard movement in the camper ha ha.  He went in and the sleepyheads were up.

Kimmy and the boys came up.  Vikki, Kimmy, and I walked around the campground with Eli, Peyton, and Isaac.

Max, Jacob and Adam went off on their own and had fun together.  We ate sloppy Jo's and then went swimming.  Kimmy, Vikki, Jacob and I played 3-13.

The girls picked up chairs for me and put them in bags.  They also put air in Vikki's tire.  Kimmy took Max to her house.  Vikki and I played another card game.  Then Vikki and the kids left so I packed the bunkhouse up right away.  Got lots of stuff packed and then went swimming and then for a walk.
