Last day of school

Here it is the last day of school….. What a fun and exciting time right?! Well I hope so! I remember growing up how excited I was to get out of school. Summer break was my time to go swimming, go to the lake, ride my bike to my friend’s houses, stay up late, and sleep-in until noon.

The weather was always warm and we could sleep outside if we wanted. Oh yes the joys of being a kid. Well here we are MANY years later and my kids are on summer break! The difference is….. It is raining, the high temp is 70 and we live in no mans land so riding a bike to a friends house would take all day!

I know it is going to warm up, and we will have MANY friends over this summer (one of the good things about having a pool) but when? It just doesn’t feel like summer…. I want the whole summer experience back! Trust me, I do plan to lay out by the pool, stay up late and sleep in until noon (well maybe not sleep-in, there are too many things that need to be done!).

I am now hoping and praying for 90 degree weather very soon. I am ready for a tan!

Memorial Day Weekend.

We traveled to Spokane for Memorial Day this year. It is always nice to visit with family. My Grandma is 88 years old so I treasure the time my kids and I get to spend with her.

My cousin, his wife and their two wonderful, beautiful kids came over to visit with us as well.... Just like the good ol' days with my cousin....

The pictures are of Lexi with Becca and Robby (my cousins kids.... They are to sweet!)
