Happy Birthday U.S.A.

Well another birthday has come and gone...this time for the grand ol' US of A. We had a good time besides the heat and the short lived THUNDERstorm. We followed our usual tradition and went to the parade in the morning. I have to admit that the parade was not very good this year. Puny floats, political campaigning, and huge gaps made it a little too difficult to sit all the way through. So we crossed the street and made ourselves feel a little better by stuffing our faces at the Fuddruckers. Our goal was to spend the rest of the day in the pool, but of course somebody had a different plan and the whistle blew to get out of the pool due to thunder and lightening. I did learn something through that experience. My father has a VERY healthy respect for thunder and lightening :) After a fabulous BBQ dinner at home we set out for mass chaos at the town center where we ran into the corn guy (our PE coach) and several other friends. We staked out the perfect spot to watch the fireworks. I LOVE FIREWORKS!!! What a great birthday party!

My my time files...umm flies

So it has been over a month since the last time I blogged. Crazy how that happens. I once thought, how is it that you lose track of time? They always said "it seems like just yesterday..." and I didn't really have a concept of that. Well I guess I do now. Since the last time I blogged we have celebrated Sean, Chase, and Emily's birthdays, graduation has come and gone, thank God the last day of school has arrived, etc., etc., etc. So I guess you just keep living without paying attention to all the blipps on the radar, until you look back and think where did all those hours go. So although a lot has happened, I guess I wouldn't really say you have missed much. I have spent numerous hours in professional development and Sean has kept on truckin' in his job. Life as we know it continues. Man... we gotta work on that. July should be more impactful (I don't think that is really a word...school is out, get up off my back about it). BEACH here we come (in 25 days).

P.S. HAPPY 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
