August already…

Here we are 3 weeks from school starting and I feel like summer is just getting started!!!!  I will miss the lazy mornings, and the cuddling with Chawndell when we go back to school!! 

I DID it, I had my bladder surgery, feels nice to know I can now jump on the tramp and cough or sneeze without peeing myself.  But the recovery is a pain in the butt, I feel fine but, I have to heal so no lifting (so no snuggling my nephew) no vacuuming, Chawndell is getting better at this but I’m must be OCD because she does not do it right.   No mowing the lawn, more OCD in me because bless hubby’s heart, he does not do it right also.  LOL  Let me tell you, I finally had to just them, LEAVE the laundry alone, I will do it.  We will mange, but I will be DEEP DEEP cleaning in 3 weeks to get rid of the grime the family has missed.

I got to see my brothers this weekend, and I have missed them lots!!!!  They had to come to WYO. for a funereal (sad) but we got together at Nick and Katie’s house.  The only one missing was Will but he is touring Europe right now FUN FUN for him!!!!!!  Funny how we are apart so much but when we get together is feels like we were never apart.  I MISS those two sooooo MUCH!!!!!!!  SO sad that I have yet to meet my new niece, and my other nephews and nieces are growing up not knowing us. 

Jayson and Chawndell, these two are more like brother and sister than uncle and niece. This is what they did all day.  FUN TIMES

 

and sweet uncle E, he is the cuddler and the lover!!!! (tears in my eyes, I miss my brothers)  It is amazing how each of my brothers have a special place in Chawndells heart. 

Chawndell and Ranger, always loving on each other, really sweet, they love each other, I had NO idea I could LOVE someone as much as I love my own daughter but I love this little guy!!!!!  Amazing how nephew's and nieces do that to you, worm their way into your heart!!!

Chawndell is playing Bocce and Swimming this year for Special Olympics.  Bocce is a not a favorite but she is being a good sport about it.  Now Swimming is her FAVORIE she will tell you she is a FISH.  I think she has her first crush, there is a cute boy in Special Olympics that she really really likes and he likes her also.  He walks by our house on his way home from work, (we are a little bit out of his way) one day Chawndell gave him a beaded bracelet that she made, and he, bless his adorable heart gave her a feather.  They are way too cute!!!!

Chawdell is going into the 9th grade, I cant believe my little girl is all grown up!!!  I will be working at the middle school with her this year, and I’m sooooo excited.  We will get to ride to school together, and I can be the snoopy mom and check up on her.

We went for a ride up to Idaho, it is pretty where we went, when the doctor tells me I’m free, we are going camping, and river rafting. 

Isn't Snickers the cutest cat?

I’m going to try to be a better blogger, It is hard for me to write, I never know what to say, and I think we must have a boring life, it seems like we are just doing things around the house, and I’m not sure you all would like to here about that. Maybe I need to take a writing class, or a blogging class to that I can learn to tell a story instead of just a bunch of rambling stuff.
