Summertime

Update

Has it really been 4 months since my last post?  Man... I have really been slacking.  I don't know how I could have let this happen.  Not.  Let's just say I've been a little busy.  Jayger and Jetson finished up school well this year.  I am so very proud of my boys.  Jayger got all A's this year, and every year in elementary.  He has really worked hard.  Jetson got all A's as well, plus to top AR reader for the entire first grade.  He has worked hard as well.  Mark and I both try to instill a very strong commitment to education.  We both highly value it.  Is it hard, yes.  Do you like it, at times, no.  Will it help you, yes.  Is it all you need, no.  Can you make it without it, yes.  I want our boys to know that one day they will have a family of their own and may be the only one to work outside the home.  A little young?  Maybe.  But there is no better time.  My personal goal is to raise men who will be responsible, sweet, loving, kind, strong, god honoring, and neat.  Lofty I know.

And baseball....

Mark is coaching Jayger and Jetson's as he has done for the past oh four or five years.  The boys love it!  We have a great group of kids and parents.  Jetson's team got second place in the postseason tournament.  This was their first year for the pitching machine, a big step up from the t-ball stand!  Our team beat out several older teams to get second.  It was hot hot, but fun!  Jayger's team was undefeated during the regular season.  Tonight is their last game. Next year is a toss up, Joben wants to play.  Don't know if he can coach three teams!

We have tried to do a few things this summer that we don't have time to do when school is in.  Is that not the purpose of summer??  The boys and I love to swim with friends and eat snowcones on Fridays.  On the weekends we play, go to the lake, swim, fish, eat, and eat some more.  Mark is the best little cook.  So thankful!  I called him yesterday on the way home, and asked him if he would like to pick up some KFC. He was like, no I have a pork loin on the grill with all the fixings.  Ok... scratch KFC. I've never even bought a "pork loin." Whatever.  I was a little embaressed I suggested that! Ha! Here's a few pics.

I love you to rhue rhue!

Did I mention building a fort.  Mark is trying to teach them his skills.  Whop woo!  They will know how to build a house by the time they are 16.  Please and thank you.

Mark and I went on a little trip over the weekend.  He took me to see 3 Doors Down, my all time favorite current band.  Yes I love classic rock, but these guys are not classic.  I love their music.  The closest tour city was Dallas in June.  Hot mama.  He endured it, for me. Bless him.  It was our anniversay trip.  Our anniversary is not until July 19th, so we celebrated a little early.  It was so much fun!

Baseball is over after today, thank goodness.  I have completed my first class in my doctorally program.  Hopefully I will pull a B out of it.  I've never read and written so much in my life.  And that is saying something becaue I read and write all the time!  Thankful to be able to do it.  Thankful to the Lord above for my life and all that is in it!
