I was inspired today to make a note on the blog! I ran into a ole teacher friend and she said she was reading my blog every now and then.....so people ARE reading it other than family! :)
We are home for the summer again. This was suppose to be the summer we were moving back home and into our home.....but SURPRISE....we are going back for another year. The job situation is still not good around here, so we need to stay where the jobs are! We are getting along okay and as long as the kiddos are happy, then we are happy! When is seems they are over living overseas, we will come home. We love the lifestyle of traveling and saving some money. We would like to be saving more, like everyone does, but we want to travel as well. We did not travel much this year with Andy's new job, but we plan to head to Thailand in December for a little fun for Christmas.
The boys are home on the farm enjoying grandma and papa and we have spent some time at Andys mom and dads as well. Each grandparent has different things to offer the boys! We have been at my moms for the most part because Andys dad has had company over due to the McAlister Reunion in town over the weekend of July 20-21. We will head in there towards the end of the week. Andy has been keeping the boys over at his moms a bit too, now that he is home.
new utility vehicle for grandma...her new hip isnt cooperating and the boys LOVE this!
Rydge is SUPPOSE to be watering the flowers.
fishing with papa Mac at our pond(Andys dad)
cousins....all boys!
We had a SURPRISE Thursday night. Andy showed up at my moms doorstep! It was very unexpected as he told me he couldnt get the time off....but SURPRISE, he did! We are very happy to have him home with us, as a family. It was going to be weird not having him here with us to fish, help with the upkeep on our home(which is occupied by some nice new renters!) and to just plain help out. We picked TONS of wonderful huge blackberries as a family yesterday to make jelly and today we are going out on a date together. The boys will stay with my parents. The sand pile and pool keeps them busy as well as watching papa put windows in his new barn.
I met up with a few teacher friends today for lunch, so that was fun! We talked and had a good visit.
Well, enjoy the pictures. I will update again soon!
