BUSY, BUSY, BUSY, summer!!

We have been keeping very busy this summer!  Trying to keep up with our garden which has been great until the last few week with 100 degree temps and no rain, it has been hard.  The squash bug have gotten pretty much everything but the tomatoes so far.  We had great zucchini with 15 plants early on, then the bugs came and destroyed all of them in about a weeks time!

Mom has been diagnosed with breast cancer so have been trying to help her out as much as we can.  She is doing really well and hasn't been feeling too bad.  The worst part for her has been loosing her hair.  Tomorrow she will have her third treatment and only 3 more to go.  Then she will have radiation.

The kids have done 3 bible schools this year!!  They have enjoyed everyone of them and it has really given us something to do this summer.

They are also doing swimming lessons twice a week for 6 weeks.  It is a lot of running but we think it is very important that they learn how to swim!  And they are doing a great job and so are the instructors at Lifestrokes.

This past weekend we spent it in Omaha with Bruce's family celebrating Bob's 60th birthday swimming at the hotel then spending the day at the zoo.  Even though it was 100 degrees it really didn't feel that hot and there were no major melt downs either!  :)

Today is catch up day.  On the agenda is picking all tomatoes that are ready so I can can them, laundry (there is so much that could take days), paying bills, trying to water the garden and yard so we don't lose both of them, and hanging out as a family.  Should be great!

Better get started.......
