Time flys when we are having fun...guess I didn't realize I was having fun.

I can't believe it is almost the end of June. I feel like I can't keep up for anything. The kids are sleeping and I really should be doing other things, but I am being bullied about posting. (you know who you are!) Well, let's see what has happend in almost the last 2 months. Levi finished school, we went to Nebraska for a week. Then I was just trying to keep up around the house and trying to enjoy summer and then last weekend I went to KC to walk Relay for Life, with Robert. We had a good time Ethan and Levi went with me and they did well. Went to sleep in the tent at 9:45pm and got up at 5AM!! I however didn't go to bed until 3AM! Yes I said 3 and right before I went to bed I ran 4miles...in a circle. I was waiting for them to say we could switch directions at some point, but they never did. I ran 2 miles prior to that at about 11:00pm. It was nice running though because there was no sun to beat down on me. The experience was good and I may even go up to the one that will be in Wichita in Aug. especially for the luminaria part. That was hard to say the least. They go through how people are related to those who have had/had/have cancer. When they say how you are related to it then you light a candle. After they went through all the names on the luminaria bags the we did a walk. People were then putting their candles by the luminarias. I had to search for Robert(in the dark, even though he is tall you can still miss him in the dark). We then put our candles by the lumanaria. I was crying but Ethan was screaming with Levi so I had to go take care of him. I do pray that one day cancer will be no longer and that we don't have to lose loved ones to it. Well, the next big trip will be in just over 2 weeks and going to TX! Yeah I can't wait. Wonder if Rick is ready for all of us rowdy ones? Well, let me see what I can put on here for picks, it seems as though I am missing some.

While in Nebraska we went to the zoo here are some pics. I really don't have any of recently guess I need to get the camera out more.

YAYYYY!! Finally a post. I know you have had a busy couple months. Where DOES the time go? Oh, we were having FUN. More fun in a couple weeks for Rick's birthday!
I admire what you & Robert did for the Relay for Life in memory of your Dad. I'm sure he's very proud of you both.
It will be a wonderful day, when we no longer have to lose loved ones to cancer. I am grateful to be a 30 year SURVIVOR!

I know what you mean about keeping up. I can't keep up. At the rate I am going I will never be ready to move. I am looking forward to getting settled and relaxing. Any way I hope I will be able to relax.

Yeahhhhhh thanks for the email to let me know you updated. I do know how busy you are with 3 kids and a daddy to take care of, it takes lots of time to keep everybody happy.
Great pictures of your babies, they are so darn cute, you forget how much me miss them because you are so far away. And can't wait for our Texas trip, it will be here before ya know it.

Don't let those cyber bullies get to you! Do you see them blogging???
It is hard to get to the computer some days/weeks/months! And sometimes, that is the last thing we want to do at the end of a long, hard day of keeping up with the kids! Can't wait to see you in a couple weeks!
