Another month has passed. It has been eventful as usual. The end of the school year is fast approaching. This Friday is the actual last day. So, the month before hand is a full schedule of parties and programs, especially for Heidi. She will be leaving the Elementary school this year. She starts 5th grade in the middle school this fall! I am looking forward to being able to sleep in on those days that I used to have to get the kids up for school! I usually look forward to summer vacation, but then in August, I can' wait for school to start back up again!
Leigh has boughten some equipment, tractors etc. So he is spending his quality time with them, hopefully getting them fixed so he can sell them again.
Not much has changed for me. I did have strep throat a couple weeks ago... I thought it would kill me! ha! I found out that my blood pressure is way too high. So, I decided it is time to get my cardiovascular system healthier. I was inspired by seeing my brother Todd run/bike in a duathlon a week ago. So, I started a couch to 5K program. Day 1 wasn't bad... Day 2 was AWFUL. Hopefully tomorrow I will fit in Day 3. We'll see if I survive it! My parents came to visit this past weekend, and brought along my old 10 speed bicycle. It needs alot of attention, so off I went today to get some tires, cables etc for it. I am hoping to fix it up, and start road biking. It sure would be fun to do a duathlon someday.... probably a couple years from now.
We have been working on some landscaping projects. D. Watkins came and built us a gorgeous rock wall for a flower bed near the road. We moved some of our perennials up there. I want to get a pretty flowering tree to put in there, too. We are ripping out a bunch of flower beds in the front of the house. We have been talking for several months about adding a basement and an addition to our house. It seems we have been talking forever, and precious little is getting done about it. I have basically given up hope that it will ever get done. So... I am trying to find other things to sink my energies into! So, we'll get these flower beds out.... atleast that part of the project will be done.
One of my next projects is to go through clothes. A family of 5 has LOTS of clothes. It is time to go thru my clothes and get rid of what I do not wear. I keep up pretty good with the kids out grown clothes, piling them in the corner. But, I need to get them out so they can bless other children!!
I best head to bed now. Tomorrow is the last day that I have to get the kids up for this school year! I can't wait!! happy Summer!!
