It's a truck wash

Fat Lip

Basketball camp started off a little rough for Josh. He got a fat lip from the rim of the goal before they even got started. I'm not exactly sure how, I looked over to see him crying and being carried out. An ice pack and a few minutes later, he was a pro! I think he'll be ready to go back again today.

It's too hot.

Arm pit stinkin, brow sweatin', pig snortin' H.O.T. I haven't taken a picture in days, so here's a picture from our mini camping trip earlier in the month.

--July's been a busy month (where did the summer go?). Josh has basketball camp for two days this week. I can't wait to see that! He's been running around the house doing "exercises" to get ready for b-ball camp. Also trying to get his preschool registration done this week.

--Michael is ready for school to start, he says he's bored at home. That will last about three days once school starts, he'll be wishing he's at home. He's going to spend the next three weeks catching up and reviewing the basics.

--Both boys are signed up for Fall soccer. That should be fun! I'm almost looking forward to school starting but it means even more activities start and I'll have two school schedules, and two sports schedules to try and keep up with along with church activities. I better get organized now.

--I will miss these lazy summer mornings where I don't even begin to think about anything productive before 10 am. We've been sleeping in and taking it easy, but when school starts we have to be out the door by 8:40. Yikes!

Go figure....

After the week I've had I'm not surprised that this happened. But, we went to see my nephew, Daniel, in High School Musical (stage production) today. This was the third out of five shows they are performing, but this show, was the one we all came to watch and he misses his big scene!!!! Somebody wasn't doing there job backstage and called him to get ready too late! He did do some dancing and singing in other scenes, and did a great job, but we missed seeing his speaking part. Oh well. The dancing and singing were great and we are very proud of his performance!

One of those weeks....

It's been one of those kind of weeks around the Miller House. It started with the central air going out, the kitchen floor flooding over night, and waking up to find Josh's new fish had jumped out of the tank (barry put him back in the tank and the bugger is still alive). I'm afraid to see what the weekend will be like.

Summer Fun

Mid Summer Blues

It's happening. The middle of summer has hit us, hard! The heat is rising, the days are soooooo long, the boys are fighting constantly, the mosquitos are biting, and this mama is tired.
