We had a busy weekend. I made a quick trip to the Island on Saturday. I dropped off Father's Day presents and went to Jimmy & Minnetta's 25th Anniversary party. I got back home Saturday night about 10:30. On Sunday we hosted the teens after church for Extreme Eatover. Then got up early this morning to head to Busch Gardens.
The weather has been nice here today. The lines were not to bad at Busch Gardens. But, the boys just do not want to wait for any line. After we stayed there a few hours, Andrew decided he wanted to come to the motel and Austin wanted to go shopping. So, Travis and Andrew went to the pool and Austin and I went shopping. It was nice to get my shower and to now just chill and relax. We will go to Water Country tomorrow and back home on Wednesday.
Hope you all have a great week.
Love Ya,
Christy

Happy Father's Day!!!!











How blessed I have been to have had a father that molded his children into the people they are today. Daddy is one of the most hard working, honest, man of his word men that I know. The father's that my brothers have become are a testament to the example that they had. I also am so very thankful for the man that is the father of my children. My desire is to have my boy's one day become father's like their Papa, Daddy and Uncles.

How blessed we are to have Daddy, Travis, Mark and Randy as the father's in our lives. I love you all beyond measure......

Timber......











We finally cut down the Eucalyptus tree. It was bitter sweet cutting it. When we moved here it was probably as tall as I am. I never realized how big they can get. We lost the back part of it a couple years ago and now it looked like the top was dying. It was starting to make a mess, dropping leaves everywhere. So, it was time for it to go.
Not much else going on this weekend. I was hoping to get the deck stained. But, rain Friday didn't allow that. So, that is one chore that still needs to get done.
The boys have 1 more day of school and then they are out for the summer. Austin ended up getting a 91 on his Geometry exam and a B for the semester. We will take that. I think over all he had a pretty easy year. I can't believe his freshman year is behind him and now he will be a sophmore. He will be graduating before I know it. I overheard him asking his friend Wes if he knew what he wanted to be. I heard Austin say that he had no idea what he wanted to do. Hopefully he will figure it out soon. They want you to know even in high school......
Hope you guys have a wonderful week.
Love Ya,
Christy

Weekend.....







Fixing the boat......

Waiting for Nana to pick us up at Mr. Paul's. I think Mr. Paul got carried away on the bangs....
Another weekend has come and gone. Enjoyed a day at Wade Shore on Saturday. While I took Andrew to get a haircut, Travis & Austin went to float the boat. That turned out to be a good decision. Because, Travis quickly realized that the engine wasn't running right. Turns out we had a leak in our fuel filter. Lukily Billy Best's had one and with a quick fix we were on our way. It was a little cloudy to start with. But, turned out to be a beautiful day. On Sunday Brooke and Eric came and had dinner with us at Nana's. We were teasing him and Papa that the men were falling apart. But lucky for them they had some good nurses. It was good to see both Eric & Papa doing so well. I realized that we really do need a 3 day weekend. Just 2 days isn't enough time to do all that you want to do. Austin has exams starting on Wednesday. Say a prayer that he passes his Geometry exam.....Have a great week.
