August Already!

Once again it has been a long time since I have blogged and I apologize. I am not very good at this.

July had been a busy month with work and then I actually made a trip up to Eureka to my grandpa Earl's birthday party. It was nice to see my family that I have not seen in a long time. At the end of July my mom had a birthday so we had them in for supper and the boys enjoyed playing games with grandma and grandpa.

Now August has come and is almost half way gone. I have been working a lot as one of the ladies I work with broke her arm so she is unable to work. Most days it is not so bad but it has been kind of busy and lately my back and my legs have really started to hurt.

Last weekend Ronnie had the state men's softball tournament in Huron, SD. He had left Friday night with some of his teammates. I was not sure if the boys and I were going to go or not. Saturday morning came and they won their first two games so we decided to venture to Huron. I had only been there once in my life and that was a long time ago. Amazingly enough we made it there, I am very bad at giving and taking directions. Ronnie met us at the Taco John's parking lot and then we met up with one of my friends and former co-workers who just moved back to Huron. She let us stay there that night with her and her family. Her name is Lynne and her and Randy took Ronnie and I out to eat and surprised us by paying for the whole thing. We then stopped at Dairy Queen and I picked up an ice cream cake to celebrate Randy's, Mason's and my upcoming birthdays. Everybody had a good time and my kids enjoyed playing with Lynne's six kids. In fact they did not want to leave!

Yesterday we celebrated Mason's 2nd birthday. It is hard to believe that my little baby is already 2! Both Ronnie and I had to work but I made some cookies on Wednesday night so that they could take them to daycare and have a little party there. All in all it was a pretty good day. Today I actually have a day off of work. Four in fact because Sunday is my birthday and then I work a stretch of 6 days in a row. I am not looking forward to that. Then, on the 24th of August Isaac starts school. Actually, that day Ronnie and I have to go and Isaac will start on the 25th. We also were able to sign him up for the Boys and Girls Club here in Aberdeen and on their Kare Bus. So, after school Isaac will ride the Kare Bus to the Boys and Girls Club and be able to play with friends and do homework there until Ronnie or I am able to pick him up after work. He is excited. I am a mixture of excited, scared, and a little sad that he is this old already. I will have to take pictures of him on his first day of school and I promise to post them.

Also, if any of you are on facebook I have lots of pictures of the boys and my family there for all to see. Take care and I will try to blog more often.
