Started out with Noah coming over... ends with 2 police officers and a fire truck!

Had a sleepover set... it was canceled.  Kids were sick, others couldn't stay, it just blew up so they decided to reschedule.  Noah's brother Elijah was having 20 couples over... so Noah was staying with us no matter what. Tippi called and Trent wanted to come bowling with the three of us... so he came. Then he decided he was staying over.  And then there were 3.... Trent cleaned house... but one of the games NOAH came back with a vengeance in game 4. Poor T got slaughtered every game. Which is weird because he's normally good! We headed home with a quick trip to Sweet Frog. When I got back in the car, Andrew was in the car! And now there is 4!  I half expected Grayson to be at my house by the time that we got back! Sooooom we headed to Walmart for T shirts, wife beaters and caution tape.  Apparently we were going to tape Raylee's house! And they were off! When they got back, they were soaking wet. Apparently Erika let them jump in her pool!  Good grief boy...

Random pictures... and a small ... or not so small miracle

 Kelly went to out to see the kids with Lee.. and oh what fun they had.  Lewy's birthday is this week, I can't believe how big he is getting!! Got my new office headshot... and man alive.. I'm getting old. Mom is loving her new life at Daisy Hill Senior Living and it's the biggest gift that she's there!!! Aunt Trisha sent me this photo of her and Uncle Jack. Still can't believe he's gone. Still can't believe she is facing cancer again. I hate when life is hard.. but I'm thankful to be alive. Speaking of alive.. after FOUR YEARS... Karen Saylor called me. She is alive. There are no words for how shocked I was and how thankful I am. Miracles DO happen. Each of these things will be it's own post....

Major clouds today... but... Schools were closed, 350,000 people came in town to see the event. After a conference call we headed out to see then we waited... 1:42pm... it went totally dark.... 1:45pm... let there be light! We couldn't see much other than this... this but a lot of pictures were sent around... pretty cool and bummed we missed it!  Well, that's a wrap... they come every 100 years... so I'll be looong gone for the next one!
