If Only........

These pictures are from the 4th, we had so much fun, not only with Dan and Jana, but also waiting to meet up with them. We went fishing and enjoyed being together out in God's gift ... the outdoors!!!!

So Colby just woke up with an ear ache, looks like I'll be calling the Dr. tomorrow morning, dang it I was looking forward to a day of blogging (providing my computer will cooperate) and making bows and clippies.. I picked up some fun and darling ribbon at Michaels, while we, Nichole and I and 13 kids.....yes I did say 13 kids went to the indoor aquatics center. It was a blast!!!! they all stayed three days, it was soooo much fun, VERY loud, but sooooo much FUN. We all ate out at Golden Corral, went shopping, swimming, watched "So You Think You Can Dance" emphasis on the word watched, cuz I couldn't hear a thing!!!! BBQ'd, hunted and FOUND snakes, hiked, worked out and nearly killed Nichole, it was TRULY a blast, I miss them all ready!!!! but like I started to say I was looking forward to a quiet "Amy" day, if only right? Plus Carlie has speech therapy and who knows what else will pop up.... no I love it, Life is great, we have had such a Fun and amazing summer, can't believe it's almost time to start school, I spoke with the kids' teacher a couple days ago and had to ask..." so when is the first day of school anyways" I nearly got into a car accident when she told me it's Aug 3.... what the heck is the world coming to.... I remember summer vacation actually being a real thing when I was a kid, not a tease!!!!!! Good thing Ive got our school room all set up and ready to go... need to pick up a few school supplies, but im actually excited, ill have to take a picture i love the way I rearranged it, I stayed up literally all night last Monday, it was fun, and quiet, so it was worth the sleep sacrifice, and the kids let me sleep a few little naps during the day, all I had to do was threaten that if i didn't get some rest I might get the flu they all had during the weekend and then Nichole and her kids wouldn't be able to come... it worked they practically waited on me... and took care of the baby and Carlie during my naps, too bad they couldn't nurse Cyrene I would have slept all day...
looking at this perfect little angel, (I LOVE HER SMILE) makes life seem like what it truly is.... a blessing, come what may, Do the best you can, pray Alot, and have faith then just go with it, amazing little and big miricles happen all along the way, we just need to pay attention.
