Where did June go?

This last few weeks have been so crazy!!!! Ryan has worked harder then he ever has. He's up late into the night and leaves early in the morning. This economy is killing everyone. We now have gone through 10 company lay offs in Ryan's career
luckily he has survived every single one. But it's getting more and more stressful
as they are occurring more frequent. But I'm very proud to say Ryan's hard work paid off. He's one of the only employees that sells what he does that made his #. Not only did he make it but he closed at 105%. I'm so proud of him and all that he does for our family. But I'm even happier that he won't be so stressed for a few weeks. He wills till have to travel alot this summer which STINKS. But at least when he is home he wont be MIA, and can enjoy some quality time with me and the boys.



So to keep busy this summer I've signed the boys up for a number of activities. Trevor's doing Basketball, he had scout camp, and next week will be swim lessons. Hopefully if his arm heals. That has been a challenge as it keeps splitting open. So it's limited alot of what we had planned. Poor kid when we go swimming has to sit in the kiddy pool and try not to get his arm wet. He's been a trooper about it.


Gavin and Josh are best bud's. Gavin loves to cuddle up next to Josh as he plays his DS.



Josh has been doing swim lessons with mom and next week for two weeks we have him in a class. He and Gavin have been my little helpers and love to cook with me. It's been so fun and I've learned alot of fun yummy recipes. Unfortunately it's doing a number to my waist line. So we've been riding our bike to the pool and swimming it wears us all out so that is fun.

The other day we took the boys bowling. It was so fun and funny. Just as I put Gavin down to put on my darling shoes he took off running for the pins. He slipped mid way down and knock his head pretty hard. I'm sure I looked just as darling running down the lane with one shoe on trying to keep my balance as I was running after him.
Gavin was fascinated with the ball return. He stayed here most of the time.






Poor Josh just as he was throwing his ball stepped on the lane and fell as well. But everyone was a trooper and kept going. I can't believe it's July. Summers flying by. Next we have the 4th, Our 12 year anniversary, Ryan's 9 day trip to Atlanta, Trevor's 9th birthday, and then our trip to Washington. Who ever said summer is a time to relax sure doesn't have kids. I'm busyer then ever. Some days I think I'll never survive(especially the record heat and being stuck in the house..) And others I really enjoy. It's fun having the kids home. We have played lots and lots of games, thrown many water ballons, built tons of Lego cars, and ships. And I'm now addicted to Bloom Blox on the Wii. For anyone that has the Wii I highly recommend this game it's so fun!!!
