SUMMER FUN

So I finally downloaded all my pictures off of my little Cannon Elf and thought I would share a few before we left for the beach, we are waiting on Brady's friend Jordan to get here then we are off. I am going to take my big Cannon to the beach and download those if I have some free time at night.

This is Brady enjoying the sack race at the Homestead.

Brady on his rip stick telling me no pictures please (9 year old boys hate the camera)

Richard and Brady at the River casting.

Brady just hanging out in the pool. We have enjoyed our pool so much.

Richard over for a swim, the boys would get on floats and play ball and when you fell off you were out.

Brady and Huntley racing to the other side of the pool.
I love having Brady's friends over, it seems this summer we have had at the least 3 and allot of times 4 boys every night hanging out and staying over. I love the laughter and fun times we have in our home with all these children. I have been making folders for each of them with pictures and letters they write us from camp and can't wait till they get married and can give them all back to them. Enjoy your Tuesday.

FINALLY FOUND IT!!!!

Did a little shopping this afternoon while waiting on the air guy and look what I finally found at a good price this whole set!! Yeah, I am pumped. I have been looking for this for some time now and can not wait till it arrives.


Now I am on a mission to find the small suitcase that goes with the set I bought while in Ponte Vedra Beach and at a good price to.

I LOVE THE ICE BOX

**UPDATE The air is working great now downstairs but the upstairs seems to be a little warmer now. What is up with that. So I am going to wait till the morning to leave for the beach and make sure its ok.


So for the past few days I just couldn't get the downstairs cold enough and the digital thing on the wall is driving me crazy!!! I still like the old fashion slide thermostat. So I haven't left for the beach house yet because I am waiting on the Air guy to check things out. I can never seem to get there when I say I am for some reason. Like last week we were going and going to spend a long weekend at the house with Mikees mom and just us and Brady had the stomach bug so we didn't get to go. I haven't been all summer, what a waste. We do like to go in the fall though so maybe we will be there on the weekends and enjoy it when its cooler. Anyway back to the air it may be that it is so hot outside this is as cool as my house will get. Don't know but going to find out. I like to keep the house 69 or 70, when my family visits they all bring sweaters they say we keep it like a ice box, I LOVE IT like that.

A LITTLE SEUS FOR THE BOYS

Last Friday night Tara and I took the boys to the Blue Bird Theater to see Seussical Jr. They had a great time and it was a cute show. This is put on by the youth and might I say there is some talent there. Several had solos that were just fantastic.

This is Brady with Amazing Mazie after the show.

This was the boys being silly after they got their Italian Ice and we were heading home to have a little sleepover.

UPDATE ON PRAYER REQUEST

I just got an e-mail from R and she got a little sick from the chemo on Thursday night but she is feeling good now and is at the beach. It just so happens that Brady and I will be leaving for the beach in the morning and hopefully I can run over and see her or have her over to watch a chic flick. She did ask that everyone say a prayer for her Mom she starts her chemo this Thursday. Thanks for your prayers.

PACKED

**Update** Oh my the dorms were like jails when I unpacked Brady. Its been a long time since I have seen a dorm room. His coach was a really nice guy he has about 12 boys age ranges 9-11 so they are having a blast. Brady did call me last night from the room on his Uncle Jimmy's phone we borrowed and said he liked camp but didn't want to stay at night its very rowdy on the halls so Dad is going up and they are going to stay at Aunt Leigh's house tonight and have dinner out before their scrimmage in the Graveyard. Brady's excited about playing at the USC Graveyard.

Well Brady is all packed to head to this Soccer camp for a few days with his buddy Andrew. I have to say I am a little nervous for him, this is a serious soccer camp and not that Brady is not serious about soccer, he loves it, but it is 2 full days of skill technique and games with the senior USC players. He will be in the dorms just like a little college student. Another concern is he has to set his alarm to get up in the mornings. Any of you that know Brady know that he is not a morning person (like his mother) and this will be interesting for him. Maybe just maybe he will be trained after this for the upcoming school year and he can get up on his own. Ha Ha!!!
