Well, we got a phone call this morning that my aunt Bert was in the hospitol after having a heart attack overnight. She is mostly stable but having trouble mainting a healthy blood preasure and keeping it in a safe range. After thinking about it for some time, I just have to say, I am sick to death of waiting for some one in my family to die to see them again-one last time. I don't have much family left and while we have not been close in the past, it's just rediculous that we only see eachother at a funeral! So, the girls and I are going to leave in the AM for a trip to Texas to see my aunt and cousin and uncles. We will be gone about a week and home before the kids start school on the 24th.
Please think of us as we make the 16 hr drive down there and home next week

just us
Our Summer is drawing to a close soon with the girls return to school on the 24th. Our Summer was much more laid back than we had hoped it would be, however, this was not a bad thing all in all. We have started making some new friends and enjoying getting to know them. This Sat I am hosting the first girls night (no kiddies allowed) at my house. I am looking forward to it and I am expecting about 8 other women. So, it should be a great time. The girls are going to my moms and Adam and a couple of the other hubby's are going to the Monster Truck show at the Speedway. I am in school still even though I was going to take a break. I still have moments where I'm not sure if I can go on with it, but I am afraid if I take a leave, I'm not going to want to go back and then that will be bad!
So, whats going on here? Adam has been working some pretty long weeks at work. There was a guy with an injury and Adam had to pick up the slack. He has been working some pretty big projects and he seems to like that a lot. He has to go to SF in Sept for a training class, so he will be gone about a week for that. We just celebrated our 8th wedding anniv a couple of weeks ago and neither of us can believe we have been together over ten years. It just goes so fast~
Makenzie has spent her Summer hanging out with her BF. She's getting so big! It's so hard to see how mature she is getting so fast. She takes really good care of her sisters and is always up for something new. We just bought new school shoes for her and I'm afraid she has her mothers big feet! She is really looking forward to getting back to school and seeing who is in her class this year. BTW-school supplies have gotten out of control! I'm just sayin!
Alexandra has nearly finished learning to play twinkle little star on her Violin. She truly loves her violin and picks up the next level of song almost instantly. She has a birthday coming up the end of Sept. which feels both far away and right around corner! She wants to go to Chuck E Cheese, I'm so trying to get this changed to anywhere else. We go to CC all the time, but during the day, during the week, and not at birthday party prices! We will see, I'd much rather do something here at the house! Her list this year consists of Barbie and the Diamond castle- the castle, the dogs and the little kids... she has everything else for it. New barbie clothes and toys. A Nintendo DS, a scooter and..."everyone we know to be able to move here and see us"
Jacqueline informed me that for her birthday, she wants toys! But this could change since it's so far away lol. She is doing great. She is pretty sad that she can't go to school yet and did not get new clothes, shoes and supplies. I'm planning on getting her some work books she and I can do during the day's for "pre- school" here at the house. I have not began to plan their party yet, but I guess I need to do that so I can figure out what kind of a cake I'm going to be constructing this year!
