June-the speed just got faster!!!!!!!

Rebecca has remained close to her P.A.C.K. advisor from her senior year of high school. She was very excited to learn that Miss Wilson was getting married and she and a friend decided they would throw her a bridal shower. What they didn't plan was how expensive those type of events can be. Rebecca wanted to buy orange rolls from Shirley's but decided that would be too expensive. I decided to take advantage of a learning moment and we embarked on teaching Rebecca how to make orange rolls. I love times like these because it gives an opportunity for more bonding time. I'll never pass that up in a addition to that it was very fun.

The next day was the shower, it turned out really well, despite the rain that came part way through and drove everyone inside.

Reb was able to tell everyone that she made the rolls and it was fun to see their response.

Cute little centerpieces.

Kerry and I had spent the night at Jessica and Dave's because she had to be to the hospital for her surgery. She had to be there early so we went and stayed with the boys and let them wake up at a normal time and then we got them dressed fixed breakfast and took them to the house.
Rebecca had everything pretty well set up by the time that we got there to help her.
After the shower I stole away to the hospital to check on Jessica. She was in recovery when I got there to see her. She was groggy but the surgery went well. I talked Dave into letting the boys stay overnight at our house so that he could focus on Jessica when he got her home. He was reluctant because he loves being with the boys so much but he finally agreed.

I was concerned for Jessica and her recovery but I have to admit that it was so excited to have our first Official sleepover with the boys!!!!!!!!!!!

We watched Alvin and the Chipmunks and Spencer crashed half way through it and then we watched Cars before Caleb gave up, I think he has a little of his mom pulsing through him!!!!!

The next morning Spencer was ready for games and a fun day. Anyone seen Spencer?

We went to Rachel's house to play on the playground for a little while. Of course Spencer was Captain Jack on some of the equipment, that magically became his ship.

Such cute little boys.

She's pretty cute too!

look out below

Just like the day before the rain came and changed the plans. We had to hide up under the equipment to keep dry. When it let up a little we made a mad dash for her house.

By the time we got back to our house the sun had come out and it turned into a beautiful day.

Grandpa was trying to get his long list of things done and the boys decided they wanted to help plant the grow boxes.

The next project was to help Grandpa gather pine cones in the front yard. He promised a penny a piece for the ones they gathered.

Time to count them out. Some how the penny turned to more like twenty cents each but Grandpa loved the time with them.

Don't you love that face?

Everyone seemed to love the old couch on the front porch except me, as Cydney said "it is a little ghetto." Dave and Jessica pulled up as they were playing out front, they had gone to see the Dr. for her post surgery checkup and stopped on the way home to pick up the boys.
We had gone to get her flowers for when they saw her. No one was ready for them to leave when they did. But the nice thing is there will be other sleepovers!!!!

I just hope that Jessica is feeling much better soon, it has been a rough summer for her.
