Father’s Day

Today was a very relaxing day. We spent most the day lounging around and swimming. Shyloh and Bodey both fell asleep and took naps. We all went down and visited Grandpa and Grandma for a while too.

I made dinner again. Wow, I’m on a roll this week! I made a blueberry crisp for dessert with some of the blueberries we picked the other day. It was really yummy! 

I’m so very blessed to be married to a man that loves the Lord and his family like he does! I’m grateful my children have an example to look up and see what it looks like to selflessly serve your family!

Happy Father’s Day Honey!

Swimming, Bocce ball, and Movie Night

Today I slept in, like really slept in, the kinda sleeping in that you’re actually embarrassed to share. Don’t get me wrong it was definitely worth getting up at such an ungodly hour to Skype and see my girls face. Okay, okay, it was almost 11:00. I felt like I had slept away my day! It was still worth it, but I may need to start taking a nap the day I know we get to Skype with you! lol

Daddy and I ran some errands, one of which was to get his Father’s Day gift. Yes, he knows what it is! Spoiled man! We also got groceries for our b-b-q tomorrow. I’m really having to get back into the swing of cooking!   We also added another clock in the school room to help us keep track of you!    We came home and daddy and I swam with the little girls and Shiro. He wasn’t to sure at first but then he loved it. The boys spent the day working out at the Brawley Ranch with Uncle Micah. When they came home Daddy and I beat them at a few games of Bocce ball.

 

Tonight the Garcia’s brought over their projector again and we watched a movie in the backyard. Last time they did this I was in Texas with you. It was a nice night for it and was fun!

The little girlies had their own movie night in the playroom!

Blueberry Picking

Today we went blueberry picking. We will be enjoying lots of blueberry goodness for a while. We froze 3 gallon size baggies. Shylie girl had a blast picking away. When we were done the kids jumped in the bounce house they had. Even your very prego sister got in there!

Tonight I actually cooked dinner again. Pretty impressive, eh? I’m not sure once Shaylah’s arm is better if I’ll be getting my shot at making dinner much. Who know’s maybe I’ll just stake my claim to a night and not let her or the boy’s have a say so?

Here’s some shot’s of the day for you!Shylie girl starting her morning off with a good book

Daily diary

I’ve decided to do a daily diary of sorts for Shelbie while she’s gone. As we were texting today we realized that since our texts are so limited we don’t want to use them up on the daily happenings in Neyville, but yet she still wants to know what’s going on with us and what we are doing.

I’m going to “attempt” to every evening do a recap of the day for her. For those who don’t want to be bored with life in Neyville please just ignore. For you, Shelbie, I hope it helps to make you feel like you are still here with us in spirit!

Wednesday evening we spent mostly outside…talking about you, Shelbie! Thinking and wondering how your flights were going and checking the live flight tracker every few minutes! The boys played in their pool and we ate lemon chicken stir fry, with sautéed zucchini that Aunt Nett brought us.

Today Aunt Nett came over and hung out and swam with the girls. We waited around with baited breath to hear that you had landed safely. Daddy and I decided that these were the most stressful 30 hours we’ve ever had! LOL

Every one is missing you bunches, even Libbie, but she is doing great! Shannen has been great about giving her her medicine.

Shaylah is serving at VBS tonight and Shadd down will be going too. It will be strange for Shaylah to be there without you! This will be a good thing to sidetrack everyone today!

Missing you and loving you tonight Shelbie!!
