Another week of Summer almost gone!!

Well it is hard to believe that another week is almost gone by.
August is a busy month in our family.

Only 25 days till Maddy is home. We all can't wait. I am so sure that
she is going to love love love living in the house of confusion again after
having the summer to be on her own. There will be some adjustments for
sure, but we will be so happy to have her home.

Next weekend we have our last adventure. We are going to a friends cabin for
a weekend of waterskiing, tubing, canoeing etc. It will be awesome, as long as the
weather is good. Pray for good weather!!!

This week I was reminded again of how old I am, as my sweet sister and bro in law
sent me some funny pictures of him and I realized that I have just as many pictures of
myself with those big honking 80's glasses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scary and how on earth did they
ever look fashionable???

Reid had an adventure this week, he built a rocket powered cub car and had fun racing that,
and then got bit by a dog. I think that he was pretty tramatized and a little bit shocked, as he
has had no fear of animals and it shook him up a little bit. Poor guy, I am sure that
he will make a full recovery.

Some excitement on the street this week. A new family moved into our ward, and they have a
very cute 16 yr. old son. Well go figure they live 1/2 a block away and now I suddenly have a
daughter who is always wanting to "walk the dog". Like we all don't know why??? It's pretty funny to watch teenagers!! Memories!! Turns out the Mom of this new family is going to be going
to the same school as Maddy and taking the same program, only in her first year. Funny how life puts people in your path...

Mike and I chaperoned a Youth Dance on Friday and it was fun to see that they really haven't changed since our day. Kids are pretty much kids and we had a great time, especially watching Dallas do "her moves".

Life is good we are richly blessed. We love you all.
