To the summer list!
I love that I don't have to wear pants (unless I am riding my horse!)

One of my favorite things to do...
Today I finished my three care packages and sent them off. I love creating these boxes for Cody, one of his fellow soldiers (who doesn't get any mail), and also a son of my best friend who is deployed in the Navy (somewhere entirely different than Cody).
I always include random crazy stuff, and tons of food and drinks. I also like to include movies, newspapers, magazines, special letters, and all sorts of goodies!
I send enough extra stuff that it's always shared with the other guys!
I love heading into the post office to send the packages! And, it's so cool because they have flat rate boxes, and they allow people to mail the large one for the small box price, if you are sending it to someone in the military!
I am so proud of those boys, and I just love to send them a little something from home :)
Summer Lovin'
Had me a blaa-aast!!! LOL (love that movie!)
I do love summer! Why? Let me count the ways!!!
1) Catch up on movies - Blockbuster is our new best friend!
2) Watch some tv series - We are in the middle of the first season of Dexter!
3) Be outside until after 9 p.m. - If the mosquitoes cooperate, which we don't have them bad at our house, thank goodness!!
4) Sleep in - enough said
5) Stay up late! - TOO LATE, LOL, I always get a bit of summer insomnia.
6) Play dates - We get to make all sorts of fun play times with our friends ;)
7) Summer food - Bring on the BBQ, yeah for Farmers Market!! I love to cook, but I especially love to during summer with all the fresh food!
8) Obliterate my "Books I WANNA Read" list - I actually checked out 20 books from our school library. I started one book on Sunday, almost done!
9) Fun in the sun- Swimming, horseback riding, jumping on the trampoline, picnicking, hiking, bbqing, all of it!!!
10) Freedom - I can do whatever...whenever.

I AM SO PROUD OF HER!!!!
I am so proud of her!!!!
My good friend Missy graduated this past Saturday from WVC! So, now she is officially half-way towards her goal of becoming an elementary school teacher.
I have forever told her she should be a teacher! She is amazing with kids, especially the little ones ;)
I also remember when she was first talking about going, and all of her fears, especially of returning to school when she had been out for so long.
I am just so proud of her for holding on to her dreams, and making them a reality!!
I know how hard it is for a busy mom, wife, and woman who works full-time to go back to school!!
I have known many women who have been too afraid to try, and others who have started but not finished, so I have MAJOR respect for my good friend Missy for accomplishing this first part of her journey!!
We had a good time at the BBQ, and you can see some of our pics HERE!

Trampoline Time!
So, we love our trampoline :)
This weekend we decided to have a Trampoline nap!! So, out came the blankets and pillows, and even the two little dogs joined us!
And, I know Ricky fell asleep because he was snoring, LOL!
Some of our private family pics to share of hanging out on the trampoline. Just click HERE!
Turbo on the trampoline, burrowing into the blanket.
Rambo contemplating jumping off the trampoline.

I promised new!!!
As you can see, my blog looks new :) I have made some changes.
Something new for sure...is that I have a new blog that I will be posting some of our private pictures. So, if there is a link to pics, and you've been invited, then you can now jump over to see pics that I will no longer post on this blog.
If you are someone I know, and I didn't send you an invite to the new pic blog...just send me an email, and I will send you an invite!
SO, I have created a private blog for our family and friends to see pics of our ENTIRE family ;)
