Summer...it turns me upside down















Summer, Summer, Summer... it's like a merry-go-round! I hope you know the tune. It's a good one and explains our last few weeks. But PLEASE know it's been an awesome merry-go-round and it's been a fun upside down few weeks! Let's start with Savannah making it home from camp safe and sound. I was so happy to see that girl I couldn't stand it. And I was so happy to see her sleepy little butt get out of the bed each morning and tell me good morning this week! She, on the other hand said she missed us, but I don't believe it. She smiled and was like ,"Hey mom." Notice I didn't put and exclamation point after that! I told Troy that I swear when she grows up and leaves the house she's a goner. She'll be off to do her thing and that'll be... well, I don't even want to think about it, it'll be a lot of things... OH gosh I think I just had a small heart attack or severe heart ache just typing that! Stop the madness...




OK, onto the next adventure. After getting Savannah in LA we drove over to Troy's folks where his sister and her family have been since moving back to the states from Germany. They are in route to N.Dakota. We were able to bring Nathan home with us for a week! It was just so much fun having him here, KAMP KELLYE was in full force I tell ya!!! The first few days were like OK everyone we have a VERY special guest, please be on your best behavior! But then it was like we just had 4 kids instead of 3 after a few days! He was just one of the family! It was busy...but so fun! They swam so much their little toes were blistered, and played in the sandbox by the pool for at least 5 hours last week! We had Sonic drink stops, ICEE runs and lots of Popsicle... BIG FUN I tell ya!

Savannah's birthday party was yesterday. Troy's sister and her family and Nona and Pops (Troy's parents) came in for the occasion. I think Savannah felt like a rock star having them all there. Her "official" bday is Thursday. She had a roller skating party and it was so fun! She was so cute skating around and visiting will all her friends. She loved every minute of it. Duncan skated like a madman and Kendall even tried it too. What can I say people it's in their blood. Troy and I both spent lots of time at the good 'ole Hot Wheels in S'port. My mama dropped me off every Saturday for a 3 hr. session! I think it was secretly like her "moms day out" program. I still dream about it and have my big boxy metal looking skating case in the garage as I type this...yes, I loved me some skatin. Yeah, all you Sheveporters, you know what I'm talkin about!!

Oh, I just can't believe she's going to be SEVEN!! I've been a mom for 7 years! What a blessing....
