Goodbye Kahlua

I will miss you and your meanness. I loved you so very much, and I hope you are doing better now. I don't think pets really ever leave us, i think they are just keeping a spot warm for us. Rest in Peace. I love you.

Love,
Sam

4th of July

Saturday was spent BBQing for the 4th of July, we had a few people over to hang out. The party started at 12 and didn’t end till 2 am. But we had a really good time. Got to hang out with some people outside of work and got to catch up with some we haven’t seen in a while. Rohan crashed at 8, but Aragorn stayed up and got to use some sparklers (candles) as he calls them, and he got to see a pretty cool fireworks show put on by our neighbors friend. All in all it was a very good day, lots of sun and pool time, and rock band as we got rained out. I also managed to get a couple very patriotic pictures of the boys. Needless to say Sunday was spent inside and quiet.

Hope you are all well

Bouncy houses and cotton candy

We attended the church block party on Wednesday, it was a lot of fun. Aragorn met a couple of other kids that will be in bible study class. He also played on the playground a lot, the bounce house was not as exciting as I thought it would be for him. He did enjoy the 2 helpings of cotton candy and snow cones though. Rohan also played on the play ground and enjoyed 3 (yes 3) hotdogs. Eric and I got a couple of minutes with pastor Heller he invited us for bible study this weekend, and his wife wants to sit down with me and talk. I really like how involved they are. Nicole came over Thursday and helped Aragorn and I make firework decorations for the 4th of July BBQ. We put Rohan to bed for the evening and just spent some time with Aragorn, he loved making the fireworks (pipe cleaners, glitter and glue). I always have so much fun watching him and seeing everything he sees and learns.

Chruch and dinosaurs

This weekend was a very nice and busy one. Yesterday we spent the day at home and did our chores, Eric worked in the yard while I did laundry and house stuff. Today Eric and I visited a new up and coming church. We were very impressed and will be going back. They are having a block party we plan to attend this Wednesday, should be fun, bouncy house’s, face paint and hot dogs. You can check them out at http://www.edgecommunity.net

We also took the boys to the museum, sonic hotdogs and slushies for lunch, and we got to see all of our old friends as always it was impossible to make them leave. They slept a little bit in the car and then it was outside to the water. They took a moment though to pose in mommy’s beret. It was and early bed time, and an early evening for all of us.

Hope you are all well,

~~Cheers~~
