CRAZY, CRAZY, CRAZY!

It has been pretty hectic around here lately .. from surgery and sickness.. to weddings.. and work. I get tired just thinking about it.

My SWEET Mother-in-Law had surgery a few weeks ago... We were all very worried and we are SO PLEASED with the outcome. I'm so thankful that she is going to be okay! Joey's mom and dad have been a huge blessing in our life. They keep Conner 3 days a week and it helps out more than I can even say. I don't know what we would do if we had to put him in school 5 days a week.

So, during her surgery and recovery, Conner spent some time with my Aunt Penny. She has been home from Georgia for a while now helping my Nana who has also had some health issues lately.

Pena, as Conner & my cousin Tess call her, is a child's dream babysitter. HA She lets you do whatever you want & gives you whatever you want. Pena and Conner played doctor, took trips to the jungle, and chewed more gum than any candy store has in stock. :)

Conner has a WILD imagination.... he loves to find monkeys in the jungle, he hides from monster birds, and just last night he named his teddy bear Jimmy... That totally cracks me up and will definitely have a post soon that is all about Jimmy!!

What have we been up to??

The Summer is in full swing... has been for awhile.. and really, Summer is just like any other time of the year for us. Conner still goes to school... Joey and I work... Same ole, same ole. :) BUT... We have spent a lot more time outside and we've even enjoyed a few days at the pool!


We spent the 4th of July weekend celebrating with Joey's family. We all got together Saturday and had some yummy food and homemade ice cream!! Joey and "the kids" had some fun on the tire swing. Conner didn't have much to do with the tire swing so he stood to the side and made funny faces. :)

Joey took a turn pushing Derek & Mallory on the swing....

Sunday after church we headed over to my Uncle's to swim... Conner loves the water and likes to "swim like a shark"! I bought him some floaties and we are practicing our "doggie paddling" HA!

My sweet baby cousin Tia.. aka T-Pot... She loves some swim time too!

Big Sister Tess swims like a fish!!! Conner loves to play with Tess. He thinks he is as old as she is!

Thanks to my Uncle Benjy & Aunt Cheryl for letting us hang out and swim!! We had a great time!
