Summer fun!!!!

This has been a crazy, yet fun summer!!! I have loved it so much! Today J, Seth, and I went to the Washington pool with my Aunt Julie and cousins Nate and Emma!!! We had such a great time with them!!! I believe family is SO important and I want to spend as much time with them as I can!!! I always say that in the end, life isn't about money or things or trying to hurt other people, it is about love! I LOVE being with my family and with Seth's family. It is always so refreshing to be in the company of people that know how to love each other! This world is so full of hate and anger and I want my son to spend as much time as he can being with those that truly love him.

Anyway, I am realizing that J may be a little swimmer like daddy, Aunt Molly, and Aunt Bets!!! He loves the water even though he seems frightened initially! He loves to play with water toys and the fountains! He is such a big boy!!! I can't believe how he has grown!!! This is only like the 5th time he has been swimming this summer. My friend Jamie has been so kind in letting us come over there to swim a couple of times. I hate to say it but I have only been to the Princeville pool one time! I love the pool, but don't know that many people that go there! I was able to have a mom's luncheon at my house and have some girls over from the area. I have been so lucky to meet some so many new moms in my area this summer! I was beginning to wonder where they all were!

Hmmm...what else have we been up to? Seth's 29th birthday was July 29th ( I just realized it was his golden birthday) . Most wives give their hubs a card and night out, but I decided I wanted to do a weekend, so Seth and I went with 3 couples to St. Louis for the entire weekend! We enjoyed our time with Greg and Sara, Ryan and Sarah, and Jeremy and Hilary! Each couple is so special to our little family! During our time in St. Louis, the boys did what they love...watched baseball, while the girls did what they love...shopped and got pedicures!!! It was a great time! We also went to the landing later on and had dinner! This was followed by a piano bar and dancing! We felt young again! I am so happy with the way our lives have turned out! Seth and I have such a strong relationship and we have surrounded ourselves with such great friends that have encouraged us so much!

Well, that is all for now! I will leave you a pic of my cousin Emma and J from the pool today!
