What a Fun night!!
What fun!!! I have to tell the whole story though. Danny does NOT golf. But there is a group of guys at his work that invited him to golf in an outing next Wednesday. He said he didn't have clubs ect. But he could borrow some. Well, one of the guys bought Danny a Brand New set of his very own golf clubs. WOW!! So, now Danny has to learn to golf. We went to Otte Family Fun Center tonight and all hit balls. It was super fun. Danny did great. I started to get the hang of it at the end. Brooke and Taylor had fun too. Then Danny took me over to the batting cages and I was on FIRE!!!!! I hit almost every ball and hit them good. I think I finally (not that we only have one more game) found my stance. I felt great. We are going to try and go back on Sunday. It was a fun time. We asked Devan to go , but he was staying the night with a friend and the play station was more fun than hanging with mom and dad. Oh well the teenage years!!!

Girls Night Out -1
So, we had a girls night out to dinner -1 (my good friend stephanie). A bunch of us from small group went out to dinner because Genisis' husband is on a mission trip to Poland. She was missing him very much. Dinner was good we went to Johnny Carino's. I got the angel hair pasta with artechoke hearts. It was okay. I wish I would have gotten what everybody else got, the cheese tortilloni. It was really good. Dinner seemed pretty mellow! About 4 of the girls went to the movie, and 3 of us came home. It was a good time.

Camping Fun!
Boy was it hot this weekend. But we spent most of our time in the water. We went camping with Brad, Amy and Madelyn Acton. Plus, Amy's sister and her family went. We let Devan take a friend, (C.J.) and that turned out better than I thought. Friday, we got there about 4:30, got set up and then went out on the boat and just swam. Brookie was very leary of the "big pool", she wouldn't get in on Friday night. So, I hung out in the boat with her. Her friend Madelyn was crazy. She threw a fit when it was time to get out of the water. We then went back to camp and had hot dogs and smores, it was so yummy.
Saturday Danny and Brad got up and went fishing, came back and we had a late breakfast and then went out on the boat, where we did some swimming and tubing. That was fun. I tubed for a bit, but my arms were killing me and my swimsuit bottoms had worked themselves down over my rump, so I knew if I fell off the bottoms would be lost. lol. Taylor surprised me, last year she was an animal tubing this year she was very timid. Devan and CJ were animals. We went back to camp and had dinner, sloppyjoes, farm corn and more smores.
Sunday morning, the competition between Brad and Taylor for who could catch the most fish resumed. I believe it stands now Taylor 12, and Brad 13. There is some arguement over Brad's last fish. He got it with his hand as it was floating behind the boat, Taylor is throwing a fit over that. She doesn't like to lose. We played on the lack most of the day, and then packed up and got home around 6 ish.
It was super fun and can't wait to go again!!!!!

Our Florida Trip!!!
We left for Florida on the 9th. I was such a nervous wreck. I acted like a complete idiot the morning we left. When we got to the airport and Danny dropped us off, I had to call him before be boarded the plane and tell him sorry for acting the way I had. He said he had expected it. When I do something knew or am on a tight schedule I tend to be not very nice for a bit. Our plane ran about 30 minutes late. My sister and her finace were on our plane, plus some of the other wedding party. During our flight I got sick twice, which I kind of expected. lol. The kids did good, Devan was the best one. Taylor's ears really hurt during landing. Once we landed we met my brother and his girlfriend at the airport and took a taxi together since it was so expensive. We got to the hotel and it was so beautiful. Our room was amazing. It was simple yet pretty. It had a huge screened in porch that overlooked the ocean. That was my favorite part. On Thursday, the kids and I hung out by ourselves the wedding party all took a couple of pontoons out in the ocean to an island and drank heavily. Poor Devan got really ill feeling that evening, and had to lay down and couldn't go to dinner with the group! Well he slept the whole next day and didn't venture down until about 3:00. His ears were so burnt they look like pieces of cauliflower. He must of had sun poisoning and that is why he felt terrible. Friday was another good day. Me and the girls hung out in the ocean all day!! The rehearsal was at 4 so I go up to my room about 3:30 to grab a drink, and my swimsuit cover up only to find that my door is broke and I can't get into my room. So,it took 2 hours for them to get me into my room. Then I had to rush to get ready for the dinner. The dinner was nice, it was the best food that I had the whole time. The wedding was on Saturday and it was so beautiful. It did rain so it wasn't on the beach, but it was on the pool deck, it all worked out. My sister was gorgeous. Sunday we had late check out since our flight didn't leave until 7:49, but it rained the whole day. then we find out our plane was delayed. And then the just kept delaying it. It finally took of at 2:00 a .m. we arrived at the airport at 4:30 in the morning. My hubby was a trooper picking us up that late. All in all the vacation was fun, but it was missing something and that was my Danny and Brookie!!!

I am so blessed!!
My darling neighbor who is a wonderful painter, painted this picture of my 3 children for me. She took it off our christmas card we sent out. I had know idea she was going to do this for me. She wrote on the back. "I started painting this painting, June 6-7, the days the big flodd started. I was glad you had your boat with you while you were camping!.. and made it back safe." This is the second one she has done for me. I feel truly blessed that someone would take their time do this for my family!!!!

4th of July
We had a great 4th. We spent the actual day not doing much until the evening hours. Then we went to the Mucks house and pitched a tent with some other couples from our small group, and shot guns, ate great food, did fireworks, and had smores. The funniest thing happened though. Earlier in the evening I had done the zip line. Did it great, it was fun I even did it twice. Well, later on, my very good friend, Jill, wanted to do it in the dark. So, she goes and she flies, I was like I want to go as fast as you, what did you do, she said, I "just pushed off with my feet". I thik for a moment and I tell her, "Danny (my husband) told me I could NOT do it that way, because I would get hurt. I had to sit down on the ledge and go from there." My very good friend, tells me just do it that way anyway. So, me being me, says okay, what can happen, you just did it. OH MY WORD, what happened is exactly what Danny said would happen. It jerked me back, and I fell to the ground from the very top. I landed on my hands and knees. I am laughing so hard, I roll over and there standing over me, laughing as hard as she can is Jill. She can't even ask me if I am okay, because she is laughing so hard. Needless to say, we finally manage to pull our selves together to see that I am bleeding from my hands. We go inside and see that I have 7 blood blisters already, a swollen knuckle and scraps all over my hands. But you know what it was fun and soooooooo worth it. The only thing that would have made it even better is to have had my other very good friends Stephanie and Valarie there to share in my little mishap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
