July 4th- July 15th

I still cant believe that this summer is all most halfway over.

We had another great 4th of July party. We had about 25 people show up and we had a great firework show. My parents drove up for the party this time too. Saturday we drove over to Frisco to visit with Cindy,Glenn, Glenn's Sister and her husband and his cousin. And that evening Charlie and Luster stayed over so we cooked out and swam again. Sunday Ryan and the guys went riding dirt bikes and that evening my week long Sign Language workshop started in Dallas. I dropped Sierra off at Stacees house for a few days so she wasnt sitting at home with Halie all week.

Ryan left Monday to go to Louisiana for a few days. I went to class everyday from 8:00 to 4:00 so by the time I got home after 5:00 I was spent. Just a quick note I DONT KNOW HOW SINGLE MOMS DO IT. Because thats what I felt like with Ryan gone all week. I was so tired at the end of the day all I wanted to do was crash when I got home not cook or clean or do anything else. So KUDOS for all my single friends with kids. Thursday Ryan headed home and I had a late night at the workshop in Dallas. The staff put on a banquet and a show for all the students and spouses. SOOOO I talked Ryan into staying the night at the hotel with me and going to the banquet too. I had to remind him of banquets I went too for him and he happily agreed.

So we had a very nice evening together after being apart for 5 days.

Friday Ryan got up and headed home early and I had my last day of sign class. At home Ryan hooked up the camper and boat and head to Lake Lewisville for a weekend of fun in the sun with all our dirt bike riding families. I met up with them after my classes.

We had a great weekend lots of fun and way too much sun. We didnt even get home until 6:00. This week has been a recoup week and trying to get everything ready for our trip Friday and getting the kids ready for Nana`s. I do have a funny story about Sierra I will share.

Monday we met up with her friend from her new school Racheal and her mom at the mall in Denton, we had a early dinner with them and the girls went to the bathroom, they came running out wanting to borrow a pen of course asked "WHY" they said they wanted to write a phone number down "I said what phone number" they said the one on the wall that said FOR A GOOD TIME CALL THIS NUMBER and they wanted to have a good time. Debra and I almost died from laughing we then explained why they couldnt call that number.

Tuesday night Halie slept over at a friends house and we took Sierra to watch the new 3-D movie.

Wednesday I dropped by and picked up Tripp for a few hours so Miranda could get ready for her garage sail. Tripp is like a little fish he was dog paddling all over the pool (white his life jacket) he is so cute and funny.

Today I am trying to pack everyone and get the house cleaned up before we leave
I

t seems this week has been reversed for the girls last week Sierra had company or was at sleepovers and this week its been Halie. Its seems like they are never her together and thats not always a bad thing.

My physical therapy is doing good( I guess) I still have more pain in my wrist than I did before but I am keeping my fingers crossed it will eventually get better.

I promise to take lots of great pictures this week and post them.

I have lots of pictures this time........
