July wrap-up

Wow July was such a busy month! After returning from Hobble Creek we (with the help of Riley's dad) gutted our back yard, put in a new sprinkler system, had curbing poured and laid new sod in one week. It was a big job especially if you add in the 100 + degree weather and the fact that we were all sick. The final product is wonderful and I am so excited to have a backyard that the kids can play in. Super huge thanks to Steve, we couldn't have done it without you.


In September when it cools down we are going to plant trees and shrubs around the grass and fill in with rock.

We finished laying sod on Friday. Early Saturday morning we loaded the kids in the car and started the 6 hour drive to Roosevelt for my 10 yr high school reunion. I had been on the fence about going to my reunion for the longest time. I only spent my senior year at union high in a town were most of the people all grew up together. I was sure I would show up and no one would remember who I was. It turns out I was wrong. I had a great time and got to see most of the friends I had made in the short time I lived there. I haven't been back to Roosevelt for several years, so it was so nice to go and see people and catch up. We stayed with the Nielsen's and had such a nice time. Haydn had a ball running around with Larry and Shelley's grandkids, jumping on the trampoline, and riding the horse. I know that we will not wait for the next reunion to go back again.








On our way home Sunday we took a detour up to Syracuse to see Brian and Jaime's new baby girl. She is so beautiful and such a blessing. I was able to take some pictures while there and I know the new parents are dying to see some so here is a sneak peak. I hope you like them.
