Reno and Demo

I should take some pictures tomorrow of the house....it has new siding, new windows, new doors, and new paint. It has not been painless! In fact, it has been quite painful! Painful for Bill because he is the one the installed the beautiful new windows and doors...painful to me because I used about 8 different samples of paint and still was not sure which color to put on the house! YIKES! We are pretty pleased with the final paint job and the beautiful siding.

The demo will take place on Justin's tumor on Friday. He and Bill are leaving first thing Wednesday morning to go back and see the neurosurgeon. Then, they will do a radiation treatment on the smaller tumor....the larger tumor was removed in February. Thoughts and prayers for Justin this week!

Gone Fishing!

EWW, what is that, Grand daddy?
That is the wierdest thing I've ever seen!
I think I'll check it out!

Bill and Justin went fishing. They had a great time. Wow, what a hot day they picked to go fishing. Here are some pictures of Brenlee checking out her first fish!

Justin is really enjoying his boat. Thanks, J and Bill, for sharing the fish with us!

July 4 coming up!

We plan to be at the Broome's for part of the day and celebrate the 4th of July. Justin and Amanda may join us...time will tell! I hope they are able to join us as it makes things more fun!

Family Lake Weekend

We try to pick a weekend each year for the family to go to the lake. Last year, we had the whole crew only missing Uncle Mike. This year, we had several missing. Maybe next year we will get the entire crew back again! It is always fun to see the cousins together! Picture at the top is Patrick & Ashley/Wes' son, next is Amanda & Ashley (with Ashley/Wes son), next is Shelley Allen holding Kyle (one of Ashley/Wes' sons) and the last picture is of the twins-Paige & Lauren with Shelley. Fun times at Canyon Lake!

Where is the rain?

Whew-it has been a hot and dry June! We have been staying cool in the house and playing in the water, which Brenlee loves. Brenlee loves being outside, so we try to stay in the shade, playing in the yard or riding in the stroller.

Wednesday

It is Donlee and Amanda's 3rd wedding anniversary! Wow, how time flies! Congratulations!!

We spent Father's Day with the family. Justin, Donlee, and Amanda cooked for us and it was wonderful! The guys left at 4am to go fishing in J's boat and returned around noon. Then, we got together Sunday evening as a family.

Here are a few pics of Brenlee as we try to entertain ourselves and stay cool while our house is in an uproar! No carpet yet;hopefully, next week! The siding is going up and looking great...then a new roof...then, the interior. The picture shows the new windows that Bill added to the house while the siding was off....the pic shows the new windows with the new siding--YEA!

Wednesday

Bren and I are having fun....even though I don't think it is officially summer!
