June-

Hard to believe July 4th is right around the corner! We are going to celebrate this year in town! It will be the first year we have been in town in about 4 years! We are excited to hang out with friends and relax!!! No driving for us! We will certainly do some grilling! We have been busy working in our yard all summer. Jackson is such a great little gardener! He has had quite a few tomatoes this year already. We are going to move his garden from containers to the ground soon! Next year he wants to plant watermelon!

We are so fortunate to live by the beach! I think this is one of my kids favorite places!

This week is VBS at our church and we are having SO MUCH FUN!!! It is really one of my favorite things in the summer! It is great to see all the kids get excited about GOD! And by Wednesday they know their songs- they are having a blast!!

Next week I will be in DC with my Patrols. Love this trip!! Love DC :-) It's one of the places I would like to live if we didn't live here.

The wildfires here are awful! It has made outdoor fun a little light a few days already. The smoke is so thick! It is hard to breathe and the ash is just awful! I don't remember the fires being this bad since 1998- when a trip to the Gulf Coast proved to be very interesting! We are expecting rain - Thursday - Sunday so hopefully many of these fires will receive the water they need. It is just so dry here-

Summer is in full swing! No dance for a few more weeks, but lots of football, basketball, and cheer practice going on! All the kids have great books they are reading and I think we have all taken an afternoon nap everyday for a week. Can't figure out how we functioned without that nap!

Picture post soon!
