Hot! Hot! Hot!


Wow! We have been between 104-107 this past week. We finally got a reprieve yesterday. The breeze was wonderful. Our garden has started to produce, so we have really enjoyed the tomatoes, okra and peppers. Preston has replanted the squash. He is determined that the rabbits are not going to beat him out of his squash. We have been working on the dog area. Yesterday was painting and stretching those heavy black tarps. It is turning out so nice. They are really enjoying it. Shyanne and Wyatt left for lamb camp yesterday with Tammy and Hunter. Tammy said that it was mostly classwork stuff yesterday on the health and nutrition of your sheep. So, the kids were not that excited. Today they were going to start at 7 and work through until 8 tonight. They have been having a good day. Wyatt's sheep was pulled out to show conformation on a lamb. Tammy said that Hunter had to say,"Hey Wyatt, that's you." Anyways the are having a great time. Tammy has been taking them to Sonic whenever they get a few minutes free so I know that Shyanne is happy! They will be home tomorrow! Dakota is missing them something terrible. He has been helping me take care of the puppies and helps Preston out when he's here. Preston's schedule is pretty full. We're going to take time to go to the pool this week. Well, that's all the news for now! Hope all is well with everyone!

Summertime!

We just got back from NB. We stayed from Tuesday through Saturday. Fast and furious as usual but we got to visit with both Omies and Opies. We went swimming at Tanta Karlene's pool with Opie and Uncle Matt, got some stuff done in town and went to Lissa's wedding shower before heading home. We also got to visit with Randy and Lynnan and Zane for a couple of hours. Sage was already in bed, they have a crazy schedule too. So, needless to say we had a wonderful week. Preston worked the whole time of course but hopefully he'll be able to stop and smell the roses sometime this summer. And hopefully we'll get to go out on the lake next time we are down in July. I've already unpacked but I'm pushing off the dreaded laundry until tomorrow. Oh, Shyanne has bangs! This is her first hair change ever. She is so excited and constantly brushing her hair now. She looks so pretty. They are riding today and have already played baseball. Next weekend in lamb camp so I hope that they are working with their sheep a bit. Have a wonderful summer everyone! Lots of love!
