SUMMER 2008

*Re-post from summer of 2008 Since I am transferring my old most treasured posts from way back when I first started blogging, I will be posting old posts on this new blog site that I created. I cannot just let go of my wonderful memories with my family.


 SUMMER, The usually warmest season of the year, occurring between spring and autumn and constituting June, July, and August in the Northern Hemisphere. I cannot believe that SUMMERTIME is almost over. We really didn't do much this time since Rodney got sent to Alabama that first week of May, until the second week of July. We did have great time though before the children went back to school.


We had the 2 girls for 3 weeks this summer and they just went back to Knoxville today, August 9th. Their Grandparents came and pick them up. We did a little celebration for Kattie's advance Birthday party, just cake, ice cream and we grilled out.



Kattie's 11th Birthday celebration.


We went to a water park in Hopkinsville, Kentucky as summer tradition for the children. They had the greatest time. They wanted to stay longer, but I was already toasted and sometimes, you don't want to over do it, so that they have something to look forward to next summer.

We weren't able to do our yearly fishing, since we ran out of time. My in-laws from New York came down for a 6-day vacation, and Rodney spent time with the kids on his last  week vacation. We just did the best we can to have fun this summer. The kids rode their tractors and did a lot of swimming on their pool (I don't have picture though).


I guess, that's about it for this season..Looking forward to Autumn (Halloween and Thanksgiving).Then, Christmas? Wahhhh!! more expenses to come...Anyways, all I can say is..we had great time and looking forward to go to Chicago next year and be with my aunt.. How did you spend your summer vacation? I know that in some states, they don't start school until the first week of September..Enjoy, while it lasts...



Just an FYI..this girl wasn't me..We kind of look alike, but..nah! more weight to lose and I guess, I will get there..(I need to keep dreaming..)
