Wow, it has been a SUPER busy month!
I have not blogged much this month and feel VERY behind! My brain keeps telling me that I have to do my posts in order of what happened...b/c, realistically, this probably just isn't going to happen, I am giving myself the green light to "blob" post about the many things that happened this month...here'goes!
This month entailed:
Super Kids Beach Day - we took the children from our church to the beach...WHAT A BLAST!
Kyle's baptism--wonderful! Lots of friends and family came out for this and we had a great time at the house afterwards!!
VBS!! WOWWWWWWWWWW--that's all I can say! What a week!! Next year I am directing our church's VBS...Pandamonium!! (It's theme is panda bears!)
Wednesday Night Whacky Worship service kicked off this month too...Ronnie and I started a mid week service for the children at our church...God is so good! The kids LOVE it!
The Shop Hop! (Which I've already posted about)
And I am sure there is more, but that is the jist of the month!!
Preparing for August:
Ronnie is currently planning a Back to School Field Day at out church for August 14th...he is going to do tug of war, sack races, water balloon contests, etc. and we are planning on giving away a back-pack filled with school supplies to every child who attends. This is our goal and so far God is opening door after door to make that happen! We are so excited...of course, Ronnie planning it means I am organizing it :)
August 23rd is our date to start school back up this year. Of course...the first day of school is ALWAYS a field trip for us! This will be an intense year of learning for Kyle. He is doing a lot of 4th grade work. We are starting a more traditional History curriculum this year and he will be learning cursive writing! I am thrilled and cannot wait to get back to school with him.....he on the other hand...........lol....he can't believe there's only about 3 weeks left of summer...already!
Fall Ball!!
Kyle has been waiting since LAST October to play baseball! We chose not to sign him up last Spring b/c Spring ball is so intense....we want him to learn in a more laid back atmosphere, which Fall ball is.
So....He starts baseball with the Mount Dora Little League in September! We are all excited and ready for the time that we will be committing to the ball fields. Go Ky!!!
QUILTING................
Another "OH SO IMPORTANT" part of my life! :) (no, never would've guessed, right?)
I should probably dedicate a whole other post to this....yes, that's what I'll do....look for another post soon with my quilting progress and new projects!!!!

division......and other random things going on in our life
division?...seriously? at 8??? Wow. Amazing. Kyle is so incredibly smart that it just boggles my mind!
Well, not much going on today...we have completed our 2nd grade math and are moving onto 3rd! He is very excited about this accomplishment! Naturally, so am I! Go Kyle!!
We have a field trip we'll be attending Wednesday to the Wilbur D Museum...for "Animal Grossology"...this one is going to be FANTASTIC! I love that Ronnie can attend all of these with us now. It's wonderful to have him along!
Monster Trucks on March 14th!!! Shhhh! This one is a surprise for Kyle. He LOVVVVVES monster trucks......and it doesn't hurt any that Daddy does too! =)
Well, we had to postpone our ski trip....now we're trying to figure out when we can go. The boys have decided that they want to do the snowboarding portion of the lesson, instead of skiing...I'm SCARED!!!
I picked up Kyle's portraits last night! These we did as a kind of less serious pose since his last ones were "school" pictures. I wanted him to be in his glasses, since the last ones were in contacts. He has a very mischievous look on his face....I just LOVE it! That's my Ky!
We are also in the second phase of planning our camping trip to Yosemite. We are VERY excited about this! We will be going sometime after July15th...not sure exactly when yet, as the park sells the campsites in blocks and the next set of 4 months doesn't open up for reservation until March 15th. They are completely sold out through July 15th and expect July 15th-October 15th to sell out all in the same day they open them up!! Crazy! We cannot wait to go though!!!!!
With spring coming we are planning to go visit the American River. It won't be like our last trip there though! Ronnie wants to take Kyle and I to experience this while it is at its most roaring, deafening state. He and Eddie went last year as the snow melt was pounding through and he described it as "absolutely crazy". The power in the water is amazing.
We are planning our garden...it's strange here though... I've been talking to local farmers and you can't plant most crops until May!! or even June some said. That's more like a summer garden to my Florida mind! We'll see...I have MUCH better soil here than we had up in the Highlands, so hopefully we'll have a nice, healthy, abundant garden ;) My niece is very excited to help with the garden this year again! Almost every time I see her she "reminds" me to call her when I am ready to start! lol...so cute! =)
FYI: We are tentatively looking at October for our next trip to Florida. Ronnie has chosen the month, which means it could change! ;) All three of us will be coming this time, THANK GOD! We plan on definitely going to the beach and Rock Springs! Who knows what else....we want to see all our family and friends and be able to spend some good, quality time with you all!
We are all three signed up for the Disney Give a Day, Get a Day volunteer program! We each have to make two blankets for children and then we receive Disney tickets! Ronnie told me that if he is going to make blankets that he wants to sew them...the tie ones are too easy he says...silly man! Kyle is sewing his Downy quilt for kids...so for this (which is completely seperate and independent of Downy) he wants to tie his two blankets....here's him working on one last night!
So...there's the update on our upcoming plans..how about you? What do you have planned? Or hope to get planned soon? Muah!! xoxo

I love that he is WANTING to volunteer, it's not one of those "you have to do this" things. I went online and showed him pictures of children in the hospitals receiving quilts and blankets and read to him their situations. It's really teaching him empathy and thankfulness.
So...there's the update on our upcoming plans..how about you? What do you have planned? Or hope to get planned soon? Muah!! xoxo
