1st week of Summer Vacation

This has been a crazy week! School's been out for a week and we've all gone crazy! Monday, Memorial Day, we had a family bar-b-q at Grandma Helen's in Wallsburg with Uncle Carl's family and Connie & Jon's family, and all of the siblings that were around. It was a lot of fun. Kace has been busy with his lawn mowing business. He has four lawns that keep him busy. Kace has also been helping Mountain Valley move their shop. It's good to have him staying busy now that school's out. Kassidy's been riding bikes, chasing and catching butterflies and grasshoppers and any other active thing she can find to do. She never sits still except for Wedensday when she didn't feel good and then she just layed around and slept and was as quite as a mouse (Yes really, amazing isn't it!) She's the best sick child. I had the flu on Friday and was out of it, except for having to take Kassidy and her friend to the carnival because I'd promised. Even watching the spinning rides is not fun when you're sick. Fathers and Sons on Friday night were Duff nailed Kace with a water balloon in the stomach leaving a big welt. Duff actually felt bad, saying that was the only throw he ever threw that hit dead on. Knocked the breath right out of Kace. The whole bishopric actually commented on Duff's abuse on Sunday at church. We've spent the two weeks digging up the side yard grass, that we just layed last fall, and bringing in dirt and now working on spreading bark everywhere. Slowly, but surely the yard is getting there. It seems like there is always something to work on, but I can't complain, I love it, but my body is not so sure.

I think we're all a little worn out from the crazy first week of summer. 11pm bedtimes, rolling out of bed at 10am, what the heck! Hopefully we'll get on a scedule this week. Happy Days!
