Enjoying some swim time at Ma Mere and Pa Pere's house...

4th of July in Healdton, OK...We swam in the kiddie pool in Grandma's backyard and then the kids and I bought sparklers to light in Grandma's backyard. Later that night we went out to Lake Healdton to watch fireworks and then on the way home, stopped by Sonic for sundaes. Yum!

Father's Day with Big Daddy and Grandma...Bill got to leave the hospital for the afternoon so we went and ate yummy mexican food and then on to Penn Square Mall to visit in the air conditioning and people watch.

Time to Catch up on Pictures...Here goes...

First Up is our friend, Barrett's, 8th birthday party. His party was at a great BBQ joint in Davis, OK. What fun to go eat BBQ and play on a slip and slide! Weeeee!

The End of Doggie Watch...Doggie watch is coming to an end today. We've had a great time swimming every day on mom's pool and playing with the dogs. But we are ready to get back to our house.

Jacob got enrolled for school last week and he got to tour the school on Tuesday. That did a lot to ease his nerves about a new school. He told me, "Mom, now I feel more comfortable. I could see myself and feel comfortable in any of the second grade classrooms." Yea! Meet the Teacher night is on the 21st. That will also help him to feel ready when school starts.

Here are a couple of pictures that John took of the kids at our neighborhood spraypark a couple of weeks ago. We swam and had a picnic lunch that day. What a fun thing to have right in your neighborhood.

Doggie Watch, Day 3...Things are going good over at my mom and dad's house. The dog's have settled in. My mom is hoping I can keep them sleeping through the night so that once she gets home, it will continue. Ha! I sleep hard. Mom doesn't. All it takes is one doggie staring at her...ha! The kids are loving swimming in the backyard everyday. In between watering, swim time, doggie duties, I have been spending a lot of time on my internet projects since we have been without internet for a few weeks now. Finally got everything hooked up this last Thursday so I will be in good shape once I get home again.

I have a ton of pictures of the kids to post but they are loaded on the home computer so that will be coming up soon.

Doggie Watch 2008...The kids and I are staying at my mom and dad's for a few days to take care of their dogs, water plants, etc. while they are gone to my stepdad's 50th high school reunion. WOW! My 20th is next summer and I felt like that was a long time. But this is not a bad gig...the kids LOVE having a swimming pool in the backyard. I have a feeling we will be waterlogged by the time we leave. Ha!
