Busy July

Oh my goodness July has been so busy. Actually this whole summer has been. Birthdays and the holiday. Sleepovers and work. Can I say how much I dont like audits?? :) So I havent been on the computer much. Anyway, Mackenzy's arm is healing well. I am going to the chiroprator 3x/wk for my back. I have scoliosis. My neck is curvy like a race track and i have a herniated disk. My lower back is worse and I have two herniated disks at the end. Doc says its been like that for a very long time. Sitting 10 hrs a day for work doesnt help. I just want the pain to go away and the doc says he can fix me. YAY! We've been going to play practice at church. They are doing No Strings Attached, a modern twist to Pinocchio. It's very cute. I registered the kids for school. Travis will be a freshman and Mackenzy a 6th grader. Can you believe it? I Skyped with my sister last night and it was so good to see my niece. I have yet to see her in person. I promise to post pics as soon as I can find them. TTFN I hope August is quieter!

Happy Father's Day

I have the best dad in the whole world and I love him dearly.

Guess who came over for dinner

Josh and Kristin came over with Jaydan. We all got to play with him and eat pizza. Good news! They are pregnant again. Congrats!

Special Olympics

Travis did really well this weekend at the Area Games at UTA. His 4x100M relay team got 4th place. He got 2nd in the softball throw and 3rd in the 100M dash. Great job Travis. I am so proud!!! Now it is on to state.

Wounded Warrior

Mac fell off top bunk. I heard a blood curling scream and saw her arm bent and said "We gotta go, everyone in the car". Grabbed an ice pack and drove like a fiend to the ER. She went into surgery around 9:15 and came out fixed. He just realigned it, no rods or screws. HALLELUJAH! We went to the Dr on Wed and he is so pleased with how it is healing already! Thank you all for your prayers!!

Good job Travis

Travis got 3rd place in the 100M dash, 1st place in the softball throw, and 2nd place in the 4X100M relay.

I talked to one of my close friends from high school (Robin Parmley) this afternoon. It was so good to talk to her and catch up on life and reminisce about the good days. We've made a pact to call every few weeks. And when I drive up, I'm gonna stop in and see her. Life is better when you re-connect!! :-)

Quote Of The Day

"'Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.' -Marianne Willamson"

Thank you Dr. King for showing us how to fight injustice peacefully and teaching us to love one another as Jesus did. We have come a long way but we have much farther to go.

New Year, New Resolution
