Wrapping up summer..

17 days and school will start. 16 more mornings where we can sleep in. 16 more nights of staying up late. 17 more days of the kids eating every thing in the house. I will be glad to be back on a routine. I think the girls will be glad for the early mornings, although Jessie loves waking up before 7 am during the summer, getting her out of bed at 6:45 am during the school year is like pulling teeth! I will be glad to have the house quiet again. My grocery trips alone and quiet and no need for all the extra crap they think they need to get by on the long hot days.

We had a good summer. A relaxing summer. Concerts in the park. Friends birthday parties. Family Reunion. BBQs with family. A wonderful 4th of July. A week at the lake. Jill and I finally finished the 10 seasons of Friends. I finished a book! We had long lazy days at the pool. But I am glad its almost over. Jill is highly anticipating seeing all her friends, where as Jessie is already counting down the days to next summer. Jaxon...well...hes just hanging on to those lazy mornings and the summer mohawk! A few more beginning of school year chores to check of the list and I will be ready to treat my self to a massage and a pedi  drop them off at school! Happy Friday!

WE GOT MARRIED!!

My dear-to-my-heart little sister got married. September 4, 2012. To the man she met 6 years ago to the date. Love stories like that make me smile. And all though she was hesitant 6 years ago when i twisted her arm enough and forced her to set up a MySpace, in no time she met her husband. So I like to secretly think I had a hand in all this. After all the whole MySpace thing was my idea ;) Tim and Jennifer,          I am proud of the two of you. You are both very dear to my heart and always will be. Jennifer, you already know that you are the best little sister this girl could ask for. Tim, I have liked you from day one. And over the years I have grown to love you. You are the best person in the world for my sister. (after all she was able to avoid alot of crazies online after y'all met) HA HA!! I wish you guys many many many years of happiness! You guys are amazing together. And the best aunt and uncle to Jaxon. Love always!! Jessica

All is well...and everyone is home...

Jynx came home today. He has a cast over his pins. They ended up finding more wounds that needed stitches so he has 3 different sets of stitches on his leg and his paw is still really swollen. He is on 3 different pain meds as well. And we are still baffled as to what happened. Josh went to let him and the other dog out and came in for maybe 20 minutes...went back outside and Jynx was hurt. We have searched the backyard and garage but can not figure out what has happened. So who knows. Jynx isn't saying either! It was bad enough to have caused some small places to stitch and 6 pins worth. Its really sad. His little throat is dry from where they had the tube in his throat so he cant really whimper. And the other bad thing is, is we were going to take him to get groomed and now we have to wait 8 weeks! O well. I'm really glad that he is ok and it wasn't AS bad as it could have been and hes home now. Thank goodness for puppy insurance!!!!

When I was your age....

It's funny because I ran across this article about the gadgets kids have these days and the things they will not know existed....or even how they worked. A month or so ago I say to Josh..."Kids these days will never know what watching a TV with antennas will be like or how to rewind a cassette tape." Part of my childhood we had a TV we turned on with a set of pliers and would have to adjust the antennas depending on what channel we were watching out of the 5 we had. Caller ID didn't exist. Walkmans were huge!! You researched homework in an encyclopedia. You recorded shows on a VHS. There was actually a time before "reality TV". You never had the want or need to know what your friends were doing every minute of their day. You actually had to remember someones phone number. Neat Handwriting. Swimming pools with diving boards. Waiting for the #1 hit in the movies to make it to TV. Hershey bars in silver wrappers. Having to manually unlock car doors. Playing ou...
