Summer fun...

So I promise I will upload pictures, but at least wanted to get what's been happening out there. So in May, Cas was sick with tonsilitis, and as I think about it that is the same time line as of when Mike had appendicidis but last year. Lord help me, I hope that this next May it is not my turn for something =-). Lately we have been trying to relax a little more and enjoy life. It seems like we always get caught up in the grind, and never "Stop to smell the flowers". So, with that being said, that is what I have been trying to do with Cas. I have come to the conclusion that it is very difficult to be a full time mom, wife and work full time as well. I try my best, but some days are better than others. Recently, Mike and I pulled out our blow-up pool for Cassidy, and she has been loving it. We have been spending a lot of time outside, and loving it. Cassidy has enjoyed laughing at the dog as she thinks she wants to be in the pool, but freaks out when she gets in. I have to admit I have been laughing at Bella too.

On Friday, Cas and I did our normal grocery shopping, her with her cart, me with mine. I always laugh because she gets so excited, I just hate it though when she hits me in the back of the heels...that is not fun! Cassidy loves the grocery store and thinks it is awesome that she gets to have her own cart. She wants to put everything in it though, and can't push it at all...

On Saturday, we went to a birthday party and they had a train. It was the coolest thing. It actually road on the street, and the kids loved it. The driver rang the bell as he drove down the street, and we got to ride around the subdivision.

On Sunday, we sunned ourselves like turtles in the pool, and ran a couple of errands. It always amazes me when we go to Wal-Mart. We never seem to get out of there without spending so much money, but we really just got what we needed, so I guess I don't feel as bad. Sunday morning, I had a photo shoot at a local park, then pictures turned out great, as the family I photographed are very photogenic.

Well, other than that, I keep trying to get us ready for vacation. We are headed to Missouri soon, and it should be a blast. We are driving, so it should be interesting. We are headed to Little Rock day one, spending the night there, then into Cape Girardeau. Can't wait! I get to see my Dad and Kim, and my step-sister Katie and her new little addition Henry Richard. From the pictures so far he is adorable. I will try to post some pictures of Henry soon!

Take care until next post!
