We are really enjoying the summer. Lots of pool time while I do yard work. Did I say we? I mean the kids.  I do enjoy working in my yard tho.

We had a Father's Day cookout with all the family here. Chuck was assisted at the grill with the oldest son Chad. Who knew he could cook?

Chad turned 24 this week and we did another cookout. he was the grillmaster and did a great job.

Colton's final Cub Scout Day Camp was for 3 days at the end of this week. We had a wonderful time but it was sad to realize he is growing up so much but exciting to see such a great young man he is becoming.

Chad leaves tomorrow for a year out of the country. It has been a great few weeks with him around. He is a great big brother and a great oldest son. I miss him already.

We are planning a mini vacation in a few days. Something close to home with the crazy gas prices. I really do hear the beach calling me to the east but we probably won't get out of the state this time.
