Good Morning

It's 5a.m. and I am wide awake and have been since 4:30. I worked Monday and Tuesday night and slept all day Wednesday so of course I am wide awake. I did make it to the mandatory meeting for Charlie's church camp. Can't believe that he is leaving again tomorrow for Church Camp. I know that he is going to have a blast. I will miss that boy so much, feel like I haven't seen him all summer. But first off we have swim team this morning, then I have a meeting for American Heritage Girls and then Monette and I and the kids are going to go to the movies. Alison is at
Camp Grammie's. She hasn't gotten to go to all the camps, but man next year she will be able to to. So my stepmom said she will come to Camp Grammie's. I know that she is having a great time. She got to go to Paula's mom and dad's and see all the animal, she was in hog heaven. This summer is going fast.. and soon it will be vacation time with the family and that will make the summer go even faster... I am ready for some R&R with the family. Bring on the summer fun!!

(the above is Alison & Craig on Fathers Day, Alison w Rowdy Rooster and Alison at Swim Team, and I hope today to get some photos of Charlie since he is finally home for a couple of days, LOL )

Charlie

Charlie left last Sunday for Cub Scout camp and was gone Sunday-Wednesday. He said he had a great time, and boy was he a tired boy when he got home. We all went and grabbed some lunch, he came home, took a shower and passed out on the couch. But while we were out we ran into his best friend and his family. They asked Charlie to go camping with them at the lake up in Oklahoma. Craig and I said yes. And so we washed and repacked his bags and he left that night and won't be home till Sunday.. I don't think I will see my son until we go on vacation, lol.. I will be packing him up, cause he leaves again next Friday-Tuesday for church camp, and then we will leave soon there after for vacation. I am glad that Charlie is having a fun and busy summer, and I am not having to hear "Mom I am bored"... But I miss my Charlie..

Fun day with Alison

Today Alison and I met my mom for lunch and then to look for some family plots and some shopping.. It was a fun girl day. My mom gave Alison some money to get some feathers for her hair, will do that and take photos tomorrow. We got home, made dinner and then headed to VBS, gotta love the Beach Blast. After VBS, Craig took the ladies in his life to go and get some frozen yogurt, what a great hubby and daddy. Then we came home, time for showers, and Alison and I did a facial, and afterwards Alison and Craig made Cake Batter Rice Crispie Treats. All in all a great day!

Busy Summer Fun

It's been an already massive fun and busy summer... The kids got out of school and headed to camp, they were gone to PineCove Camp in Tyler Texas for 1 week. They had a great and fun time, they swam, played games, made new friends, learned about God, and so much more.. It was weird having a whole week with no kids, we missed them so much. Craig and I had dinner together and just talked and enjoyed our time together. We headed back to East Texas to grab the kids from camp, on the way home we stopped in Athen's, Texas and took the kids to the Parks and Wildlife Fish Hatchery, it was a great day to go, it only cost us a total of $5 for us all to get in, and free hotdogs, drinks and ice cream. Not to bad at all.. Then Charlie joined the Fishing Tournament and he took 2nd place in the ages 11 and under. WAY TO GO CHARLIE.. Then it was the first week of summer break and the first with no activities. We started our morning off with Swim Team Practice, and then we headed to the local library and signed up for the summer reading program. The kids love the library and got a ton of books to kick off the summer. Then it was time to go and get Charlie's physical for his Cub Scout Camp, and then some lunch. It was a great day. Then we headed back to the pool for some fun. This momma got some massive sun and a nice sunburn. Charlie is again gone for camp, he is at Cub Scout camp and I am sure having a great time and yet I can't wait till he comes home on Wednesday.. Craig, Alison and I started our church's VBS Beach Bash tonight and it was a great start.
