In early June--right before school was out my wonderful friend Christine Stigall came with her 2 boys to visit for the night. Her parents live in Chicago so she blessed us with a night of wonderful chatting and Jackson got to see two of his friends from Kansas City (they have been at daycare together since they were born) It was a great 24 hours--Thanks for coming up Christine !!!
***Then we added hardware to the house--Jake's baseball team took 3rd in a tournament. Keep in mind when you look at these pictures that they are from June--UGH !!!
***Then we got a very cool email--Jordyn has been asked to try out for the Performance Team at her dance studio. This what she loves to do and we are very excited for her. She will take special classes this summer and her audition will be in August. We are so proud of her!!!
***Schools gets out on Friday and we head to Kansas City on Tuesday the 16th until the following Monday. We spent Tuesday-Friday in our old neighborhood. The kids loved seeing their friends while we there--our kids and the Parker kids were pretty much inseperable--I am not sure how we didn't get pictures of Dwight and Phyllis but their absence in our pictures is not representative of how much we love them--we love them all dearly!!! We got to see Jake's old baseball team play, so we could see how the boys have grown and chat with many of the parents. Jordyn and I were blessed to have breakfast with her dance partner Sydney and her mom Shelly--my dance buddy. We miss them so much. Dance just isn't the same for me-I loved spending my Saturday mornings with Shelly. We spent lots of time at the pool and got to go to the The Big Red Barn farm in Weston. My wonderful friend Donna Grame came with us and then was so gracious to make us cookies and lemonade.
***Then off we went to the Lake of the Ozarks with Jeff and Vickie. The weather was hot so it was perfect for floating, laughing, relaxing and enjoying a few beverages. We are always so grateful to Vickie's mom Linda for having us to her wonderful and relaxing home on the lake--and of course to Jeff and Vickie for welcoming us. We love them dearly.
***We came home on Monday and tried to catch back up. We had baseball games on Wednesday and Thursday and then I left on Friday back to Kansas City for a great girls' weekend. The weather was still hot and once again perfect for floating, chatting and having a few beverages. What a great weekend it was with wonderful girlfriends!!! Ken was home with the kids and his mom running to a baseball tournament and covering for me--it was Jackson's birthday and I wasn't even there--I did feel bad--but if none of you tell him--he will never remember!!!
*** I got back late Sunday. Ken was traveling Monday to Wednesday. My mom came for a visit on Monday and hung out with us til Tuesday. Then my brother came down from Wednesday til Sunday--Craig, Ken and I went to Summerfest to see Huey Lewis and the News on Saturday night--What a blast we had!! Good music, good fun, great family fun. When we arrived back at home at 12:45 am--my parents were there to celebrate Jackson's birthday and go to a polo match. So my brother sang us a few songs on Jackson's new guitar and we all called it a night.
So there is our June in a nutshell!!!
