Busy summer

yes, I fail. I did warn you that i'm no writer, nor am I any good at keeping journals or blogs. BUT I'm here now so :P This summer has turned out to be crazier than I originally thought. Here are a list of things we did and pictures to go with them.

Hailey, Tina, Rosaline and I piled in the car and drove to Oregon to visit our family. It was a long LONG drive but we made it in one piece and would do it again.

A certain friend whom shall remain nameless came and visited for the weekend. We drank, ate and were merry. In that order. It was fab.

I reconnected with my sister and brother from another mother. I now have 3 more nieces and nephews whom I love much-O.

Hailey's first Vacation Bible School! I helped plan this one AND was a crew leader so this made for a busy month for me.

Neal came and visited us for a few weeks and we all had a great time. He's getting so big!! I remember changing that touche of his when he was a little toddler. Now he's 12 whooping years old!

Next weekend Tina, Ryan and Rosaline are visiting from the great town of Clovis, NM. We are SUPER excited to see them.

Last but certainly not least, our good friends Louis, Christina and their son, Aaron are visiting. I can't wait to meet him!!

The only thing that I didn't get to do was visit my third set of parents in Germany, Dave and Shirley, we miss you so!

So this is completely off subject but it's BLOODY HOT in Texas during the summer!! I'm talking, 107 degrees EVERY DAY! UGH! Good thing we aren't here very much longer or I may shrivel up into a Karen prune.
