Summertime

Summertime for me, for now...

Overly hot temperatures, over the 100 degree mark. Constant running of the air conditioner, trying not to worry how high the power bill will be because of it or how we will pay for for it. Trying to keep cool other ways too. Turning on the sprinklers for the kids in the late evening, going to the community splash pad all fun. Sunburned from forgetting to put sunscreen on myself at the splash pad. Wanting to take the kids to Lagoon, for swimming and rides but wishing for cooler temps to make it all bearable.

So today I got to thinking about my blog here and realized it has be an extremely long time since I have made a post. A lot of things have happened. in the last 8-9 months since I made my last post, some good and some bad but mostly good thankfully. Right now I don't feel like sharing the any of the bad most is still to fresh and just want to not think about it. So on to the good!

This past weekend our oldest son turned 15! Wait?! What?! 15?? Yep, 15! I can hardly believe it myself. He has grown so much in the past year, physically and mentally. I know everyone thinks their kids are the best and or the greatest, but I really do think I am lucky to have such a great young man. He is respectful, loves his mom :), very helpful, has wonderful standards and just an all around great kid. Now of course that isn't saying he doesn't have his moments but all in all he is wonderful and he IS one of my pride and joys.
