Before school begins ....

This is August and I always tell the kids that we won't think about school until August begins.  So now we have some appointments to go to!  Dentist and hair cuts.  He's such a cool kid!  Austin and I both had to get a cavity filled.  Not at all a highlight of our week but that's now finished and I'll always be thankful for a good dentist.

I sat down with some coffee and my calendar and jotted down the volleyball games.  We are now going to high school volleyball games once again and our calendar is all marked up!  The kids like sports and we love to go and watch and cheer them on!!!!

I said that once Ginger is not with us anymore, I am getting in professional carpet cleaners!  They arrived and the carpets look like new!!!!!

We took the opportunity to enjoy one more pool day before school beings!!!!  The food is so good at LCC and the sun felt amazing!  We love this place and soak up the sun!

We came home to this!  Clean carpets and clean furniture!!!!!

Hadassah wanted to go to Salvation Army and the kids and I hopped along.  Then we went to Oregon Dairy's Sunflower Festival just to peek at the flowers!  We found us some yummy sticky buns!  It was a hot afternoon, so we kept moving!  That night, we went out to our little town for Rolled Cold Ice Cream and the line was long!  People were out enjoying our small town!  I love it!!!!!

I did not buy this but I thought it was funny!  Salvation Army has this Weekend Warrior!!!!

Our church had a baptism that was so beautiful!  Hearing Jesus stories and watching young and old go down into the water and come up clean, is so powerful!  Glory to Jesus!!!!!

We only have a few more days until school begins.  The kids have their backpacks ready.  We are still waiting to hear our busing times and hoping they are decent!  This summer flew by for us!  Fall is on it's way.
