Day dreaming...

I really should be doing something other than laying on the couch day dreaming, but I'm not.
I still need to update the blog, but I'm not.
I need to finish some sewing projects, but I'm not.
 I should fold that last load of laundry, but I'm not
I should finish painting the downstairs area of the house, but I'm not.

I'm daydreaming of NEXT summer, when Patrick will be on sabbatical.  Planning trips, thinking of ideas, just daydreaming.

We have a basic plan next May middle of the month he will start his three months off.  There will be a big trip to California, Disneyland, beaches, family, friends.  We are thinking of visiting family in Michigan and maybe going to This place

We would also like to take a trip to DC.  I think the kids would love it!!


I'm looking at random stuff.
I solicitor just woke Patrick up from ringing the door so much.  So annoying!!
I think I may buy this sign. Maybe that will stop people from bugging us?

 

And since I have a new car, I think I need some pirate bling.

Maybe something like this one...

 

I think this one would be great for Patrick if he loved Pirates as much as I do.

 

 

Grandpa & Grandma come for a visit

 

My Dad & step-mom came for a visit.  We went swimming at their pool a few times, out to eat, they got to see the kids first tattoo stand of the summer, and were also able to attend the kids baptism.  It was nice seeing them.

Barron Children Baptism Day

Tonight all three kids were baptized members The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

It was such a nice night. I'm proud of them.

So far this summer...

 

We signed up for the library summer reading program.

 

We've had smores, yum!

 

 

 

Savannah put on a super fancy dinner for us!

 

Our car officially died, so we bought a new one.  It was a steal, so we couldn't say no.

 

We went swimming, and had lunch at our very favorite teachers house.

 

We went to the park with friends.

 

 

 

So far it's going great.  We have lots of things to cross off our bucket list, so it will be a fun and busy summer.

First offical day of summer vacation

Today was the first day of summer vacation.  We all slept in which was nice.  Trevor was in the backyard without shoes on  this morning.  He decided to jump on an anthill, and when he landed, he hit his heal on a big sharp rock and cut it.  It looked pretty bad, but I bandaged it and decided to have Pat look at it when he woke up.

 

 

This afternoon, I was surprised to find out that Griffin had planned an end of the school year water party without telling us.  When his first friend showed up I decided to just go with it.  I made popcorn, and set out ice water and juice for the kids.  They played with water guns, the hose, and water balloons too.  As we were winding down I gave all of the kids a popsicle.  I made Trevor put on several layers of socks, and a tennis shoes, and join in (even though he was complaining about how bad his foot hurt).

 

 

As the party finished, Pat took a look at Trevor's foot.  He thought it was bad enough for stitches.  He was also shocked that I had him running around with this bad of an injury on his foot. I've learned to just wake him up. He is in fact the medic of the family, and always know exactly what to do. So I took Trevor to an after hours pediatric office.  They decided to stitch his foot up.  He got four stitches and is supposed to stay off his foot as much as possible for 10 days, and use crutches.  This was his first time getting stitches.

 

 

 

 

It was a great first day of vacation full of surprises!!

Who knows what the rest of the summer has in store for us.
