jack is on vacation!

Jack vacations in the summer.  He has a pretty good life...he spent last weekend at the lake with Marc, and Marc's mom kept him a few extra days.  I was checking in on Facebook adn this is the photo I saw. 

Jack got to visit the Kleman family farm.  Apparently he has an interest in 4-H!

Coral!

We have had extreme weather here lately!  We had a HUGE storm last Friday, that knocked out power to tens of thousands of people.  In the extreme heat we have had, it made things rough for everyone.

A local animal shelter asked people to help out some of their older cats, as they are housed upstairs in an old house.  It was SO HOT up there.

So I packed up the kids and we headed out and brought home Coral.  She was the sweetest kitty ever and the kids adored her.  Jack was very motivated to help her and was quite sad when she went back. 

Good luck finding a home Miss Coral!  The Aubrys are rooting for you!

The 4th of July

We had a wonderful 4th.  Our friends host an annual party that is awesome!  A huge tent, bounce house, icee machines, tons of food, and great company.  They host with their neighbors and the whole neighborhood (and then some!) gather and have a really fun time.  This is our second year that we have gone, and it was a ton of fun.  The fireworks are set off right over their house, and the traffic on foot or by car is always fun to watch.  Loads of people heading into town to celebrate. 

This year was the hottest - 94 degrees at 10 pm!  ugh! 

We had a ton of fun and the kids slept unti l11 today.  Glorious!

Happy 4th of July!
