Thank God for Good Neighbors!

We have the best neighbors that live behind us. They have a large garden and they give us fresh vegetables every day. They hang it on the back fence in a bag and tonight they even gave us fresh corn on the cob already cleaned for us. They were keeping it in the frig until they saw us. The elderly man loves to talk to Kassie when she swings, she is out there all the time. I guess he must miss her this week while she is at camp. The corn was wonderful, Robert even said I am going to have two and I never do that. We gave two pieces to Mom also. We share our vegetables with Mom she loves any kind of fruit or vegetable. They have been sharing with us for 3 years now and they even have berries every year to share, it couldn't get any better! Anyway thank you God for providing such good neighbors. We enjoy our neighborhood and really enjoy visiting with them all!

Camp War Eagle!!!

Well, we took Kassie to her favorite place today "Camp War Eagle". She was so excited she couldn't wait to get on the road. She absolutely loves that place. She was so dissappointed when she only got to go for one week due to Cheerleading Camp, but she was happy also just to be going. She made some good friends last year and had so many stories to tell. She is on the "Caddo" tribe at camp. They have the "Caddo" and "Osage" tribes and once you get on one of them you stay on it everytime you go back to camp. So far this year "Caddo" has one every session. The different cabins play against each other in tribal competitions. Robert and Tyler went with us today, they didn't go last year. Tyler loves all the water slides they have and he said he wanted to go to camp there too. He can't go until he is 7, if Mom lets him that is! Thank goodness my kids aren't scared of anything or going anywhere. They are content wherever they go and take up with everyone. I think that is a good thing?? When we pick her up Saturday we have to take her straight to Dance Camp in Fayetteville. That girl keeps me hopping and young, I think.
Tyler is still in swim lessons and looking forward to his birthday party coming up. He wants a Chucky Cheese party in Rogers. Its hard to believe my baby is going to be 6 years old already. Its about time for some more swimming in the pool, it was too hot this afternoon so we waited until this evening. The water is 91 degrees which will feel more like a sauna than refreshing but oh well it makes for a nice swim after dark. We like doing that alot in the summer time. I am going to post a picture of Kassie at camp next time didn't have time today. Bye for now.

Silver Dollar City Trip

We went to Branson this past weekend and we went to Silver Dollar City for two days. We had a really good time. We hadn't been in a long time so it was fun. The kids rode the roller coasters and water rides and got soaked! Robert rode all of them too. He's just a big kid! We were going to ride go carts in town Saturday night, but just as we got to the hotel it started raining and it stormed really bad. They said they had trees down and 60mph winds in Branson. We were on the 3rd floor of our hotel but luckily we didn't lose power. It was nice to get away even if it was just for two days. The kids want to go back but go to Celebration City next time. The more rides the funnier for them. Of course after Disney World last summer Silver Dollar City is kinda a let down as far as rides go. They still talk about all the rides they rode at Disney World. Tyler was only 4 then but he rode all the roller coasters but two and that was only because they wouldn't let him because of height restrictions. They wouldn't let him ride "wildfire" this weekend either. He is still not tall enough.

Tyler is taking swim lessons again this year, he started them last week and he is really swimming good. He seems to be a natural at it and we don't have to help anymore, he just swims all over the pool and goes down the slide and jumps off the side of the pool and diving board at the aquatic center without our help now. I am so glad!

Hancock the Movie

We went Sunday to see the movie Hancock, it was really good. We went swimming again as usual for the summer. Kassie started her cheer camp today, she said it was really hard and hot! She can handle it. Two weeks and she goes to Camp War Eagle again. She loves that camp!! We didn't do very much today, Tyler woke up throwing up this morning, he seems fine now. We don't know what was wrong with him. That's all for now.

4th of July Swimming

We had a great time on the 4th with my brother Randy and his family. The kids swam and we grilled hotdogs and hamburgers. We then went to see the cities fireworks later that evening. Here is a picture of Kassie and Emily on the wave rocker.

Happy Fourth of July!!

We had a wonderful day with family. We swam in the pool all afternoon and then we grilled hamburgers and roasted hotdogs and marshmellows. We went to see the cities fireworks later on in the evening. Yesterday we took the kids bowling, I don't think our kids enjoy bowling that much. We have taken them before but they don't get too excited when we go. We are going to our neices birthday party tomorrow, that should be fun, more swimming but at a hotel in Rogers and pizza. We hit more yard sales today and found some more good deals. I think we are addicted to yard saling now. Better get for now.

Frig Shopping

Today, I took my Mom to buy a new Refrigerator, hers stopped working during the night. Robert tried to fix the freezer yesterday but it was shot(with a 12 guage)! She has had problems with that frig ever since she bought it and that was at least 20 years ago. When she called Sears to come and fix it, they said it would be next Tuesday(they only come to Siloam on Tuesday's). What is a person to do for a whole week without a refrigerator?? She has medicine to keep in there and company coming Wednesday. So anyway she was tired of messing with it and I took her to buy a new one today. They are delivering it tomorrow. Robert and I emptied hers out and brought alot to my house and then I went and bought ice to store the rest in over night. What a day, her sink is leaking somewhere, so Robert cleaned all that out and we sweept and mopped her kitchen and wiped down stuff, she can't see very good at all. Next he has to buy a new tank for the toliet. He has fixed it so many times, I guess its just time for a new one. He did all this after working all day, I know my Mom appreciates all he does, she tells him and me that alot. I can't leave Kassie out of all the work. She went over yesterday evening and cleaned and washed Mom's back porch off and scrubbed the 3 white chairs off, she said she lost count of how many spiders she killed. We gave our dog Sharla another bath tonight for fleas, I feel sorry for her. I am going to try some of the pills you can give dogs to get rid of them. Our neighbor Kirk told us about it, he used to be an animal control officer for Siloam and then Benton County SO so I think he knows what he is talking about.
Tyler and Kassie have been playing with the two remote control boats we got several years ago at a yard sale a neighbor was having. We forgot about them but got them out last night to play with in the pool. They are alot of fun.
We are going to the Razorback to see a movie in the morning at 10:00. Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. It looks like it will be good. Robert is on vacation until next Wednesday. Better get to bed, morning will come early.
