I'm feeling HOT, HOT, HOT!

Suppose to be 108 tomorrow and 102 on tuesday! We have had such wierd weather! We had thunder and lightening all day yesterday, I hated it! Then the rain and hail came, so bizzare, now its 98! I think summer is finally here! We are headed to Splash Zone tomorrow since our pool is closed on Mondays. It will feel amazing to swim with the boys and be nice and cool! I have been working nights then days, then nights and days so I have been out of it lol last night I went to bed at 7pm and slept unti 8:30 ok, that never happens ha! It felt so good. Then we tackled Parkers room then I hit Josh and Jareds, much better now! Were sitting inside with the A/C going and I am so thankful for it. I am also so thankful for my sweet husband. He got our riding mower working and started tackling the weeds everywhere, and there are a lot! Such a hard worker he is. He put in wood flooring for our neighbors so he can give me extra spending money in Vegas! 3 more weeks, woohoo! So excited!! Rented the pool for Parkers 16th birthday! Yes, 16th! I can hardly believe myself. Where has this 16 years gone? No, seriously where have they gone?! He brings so much joy to me, sent straight from God himself right to me! He came to my bed a couple nights ago (Don was at a golf tourny) and he wanted to talk, so he spilled his guts about everything. His gf that broke up with him, his trust issues, I mean everything! I realized a couple things, he is so much more like me than I thought and 2 he is such an amazing person. He said they only 2 people he really trusts are me and dad. That boy has had my heart since the moment I saw him! He is more precious then he even knows!!

Adoption Day!

Can you believe its been 9 years since the adoption happened?! I am SO thankful life has turned up the way it has. The boys are happier, I am happier, everyone is happier! There have been some struggles I wont lie, mainly the boys wondering why and why they were not good enough. But we tell them the same thing every single time "Chris was in a bad place in his life, he wanted you guys to have the best dad ever and he knew that Don would be the best day for you guys, it had nothing to do with you boys, he was just not ready and in a bad spot in his life, he did this for you"! so if we say it over and over maybe they will believe us? It hasnt happened for a couple years and Chris did do the best thing ever, let Don raise them because he is doing an amazing job teaching them how to be men! I love him so much!!

Whew! What a busy month!

June is so crazy busy! School got out on the 7th, and drivers ed plus Vacation Bible school started the 10th! Let me back up lol, I started at the hospital and LOVE it! Love the residents, staff (well most of em lol) and the facility! I did a couple graveyards, days and 12 hour shifts. The boys were SO happy about school ending! Free at last! Sunday the 9th I left with a couple ladies from my NAC class and we headed to Walla Walla for the night, got checked in, went and got some dinner than back to the hotel to study for our HUGE state test! Monday we woke up and got ready and off we went! The written was 70 questions, it took about an hour, then we had to wait for hours to do the skills test, that was more nerve racking then the actual test lol! Took me 15 minutes to do the skills test and I PASSED! I am offically an NAC! Next up nursing school!! I was so nervous AFTER I got home that I was sick to my stomach and went to bed ha! Guess delayed reaction? Then onto VBS! I was in the kitchen for Jr High, I love helping with the Jr High, so much better than the little kids haha! What a great busy week! I had 2 extra kids all week, so by the time they left on friday I was happy LOL!! Its hard enough to feed 4 but add 2 more ugh! I worked sat and sun and today wanted to sleep in, but alas Parker has drivers ed at 8am Mon-Fri june and july! I work this saturday so I have this week off!! Love it!! Fathers day yesterday was odd ha! I worked til 2 and Don was in Spokane visiting his grandfather who is now with hospice as he is not expected to live to much longer. It was an emotional day for him, but when he got home we had pizza and cherry pie with ice cream, makes everything better! What a fabulous man I have. I mean really! He was 22 when we met and got married, most 22 year old males are selfish and want to just worry about themselves, not my man, he loved me almost instantly and loved my boys, our boys. Patrick was 2.5 when he met him so to him Don has always been dad. He is so hardworking, loyal, honest, kind, caring, sensative and he loves his family more than life itself! We love him so much!!
