Vacation

I know it has been awhile since I"ve posted (once again) so I'll try to catch up on things as they have been happening. Heath was on vacation last week and spent the week finishing up on the wood floors in our den, kitchen and dining room. Then we decided to repaint the den...I have never been satisfied with the color since moving in so he spent all day yesterday working on that. We are both on vacation this week but haven't really done much. Brent has been busy for the last two days selling ads for the newspaper of which he is a new member this year. And of course we have been getting ready for school. Fun Fun...doesn't seem possible that the kids will be going back in a couple of weeks. I took them both one day a couple of weeks ago and we went and purchased uniforms and some supplies. Of course there will be more to come. We went to Baton Rouge today to the Mall of Louisiana..had a nice time, then went and ate at Ralph & Kacoo's...yummmm!!! We are planning on taking it easy tomorrow then leaving early Thursday morning for the funeral of Sis. Barbara Dowd. It doesn't seem possible that this wonderful saint of God has gone on but we know she is in a much better place. Please pray for the family at this time. It will be nice to get to see Judith and John and the boys but the circumstances are unfortunate. Well it is getting late and my busy day is catching up with me. I know I keep promising to post pictures and I'm going to one day. I just have to get Brent to help me. It is hard to teach an old dog new tricks:)

Happy 13th Birthday Heidi

Today was Heidi's 13th birthday....doesn't seem possible that my little girl is a teenager. Now I have two teenagers in the house....look out.
We took her out to eat tonight to Chef Roy's then went by DQ and got her an ice cream cake. Tomorrow we are having a party for her here at the house with more cake and ice cream.
We went to Arkansas for the 4th of July. Wendell, Pam, Heath the kids and I and Leanne all went to Hot Springs one day...we had a good time. I had never been there so it was a nice little trip. Then we went to eat on our way home and got stuck in a storm. The electricity went out in the restaurant...fortunately we had already eaten.
On our way home we stopped in Natchitoches and ate dinner with my inlaws and Brent stayed there for the week. Heidi and I went and picked him up in Alexandria this afternoon. So once again I have all my family together again.
Well better close just wanted to catch everyone up with things. I'm still planning on getting those pictures on here. Hope everyone has a good weekend!
