This summer a blur
I had to post a little about today and this summer. Here was my day
Get up. Teach piano till 11. Race to Jill Vanorden studio with kids and help out. Landon and Blake came along. WE helped with the play Lollies. Taylor is Mike and Ike. After that we raced home to rest. Went swimming from 5 to 8. Came home. Ate Subway, started dishes, put kids to bed looked and messy house. Exhausted. Ready for tomorrow. On the way to Fort COllins Blake had a messy diaper, we had no wipes in the car or anything, and the train was stopped of course.
The train has gotten worse since we lived here. Maybe it goes by 4 times a day. Its cool but noisy. The busy street is worse also.I need to embrace and spend some time in he house and get it ready for the rest of the year. i just feel so tired and the time I want to do it Im exhausted., I hope next week I can work on it.
Taylor has been sleep walkig al ot. I think he is hot and maybe stressed with this play. We have no air conditioning os it hasbeen hot. Luckily we have a cooler and the basement is cold. He has been strssing about his lines in the play but I think he willbe ok.
Landon got to do Dr. Edwina with Hayden while the cousins were here in June. Truthfully it was fun but a little long. I was stressed most of the time. But they played a lot. i feel like I am an alien in my family sometimes. i feel so different then all of them. Sometimes I just I talk to everyone and I just think I need to come home and not talk for a while. Maybe I am growing up. Im not sure. Its been a weird summer. I had a lot of plans and somehow they have all changed.No big deal. The kids have actually gotten along better this summer. Im a little sad people are growing upand my kids are also. I guess its hard on me. Phil losing his job and starting another has taken a toll also. I have been really stressed about money this summer. Not sure how to help or what to do. I guess thats how lifeis. we have had alotsof blessings though.,
Landon has been so sweet. He has mowed lawns and thried to save hismoney. Taylor also has been kind. We had so much fun swimming tonght and last wekeend we wnet to Chimney park pool.
There was a service project Saturday and after that we went swimming. Well deserved. We hauled rock for 2 hours. Blake nad Taylor played together and they had fun.
Phil has been working a lot and I iss that month he was off. We got so much done and he helped out with the house a ton!!!!. anyway Im going to bed. another summer day gone.

Saying goodbye
Saying goodbye is never easy to do. My Aunt Roxannee passed away a few weeks ago. Sudden;y in the hospital. She collapsed and was rushed to the ER. Pronounced dead a few hours later. There were over 400 people at the funeral. I went totheb urial in Manassa where she was buried next to my brother and sister.
She was 51. Her death certificate said sepsus, onset of hodgkins lymphoma and pnemonia. She had no white cells in her system to fight off the infection and does. She leaft her sweet children and her hubby Mike. I just don't even have words tos say. I feel bad they came out to Dev\nver a few months ago and I didn't k\go down because Blake is so hard in the car. Now I wish I would have gone to seeher. It's been a while since I have. Im sure she is having fun in heaven seeing her Dad and taking care of cousin Michael. I shed a tear nad get chocked up just thining about it. I worry about delane andGrandma. They were kind of like the triple trio. My mom is anti socail so she wasnt really involved withthem so much. But still loved from afar. I mnot sure what her plan was and why she decided to go so early.It was hard to go tothe burial. They had wonderfu things to say but its hard to replace the hurt with words. The pain inside rocks deep. Roxie really held things together. Im just so shocked and sadened by this.

What goes up must come down
I love watching blake sleep. He is so precious! sometimesits like some angel like child has taken over his body. He snuggles right up to me .I know omeday I will miss that. Yes he sleeps with us in our room.he has abed next to ours but doesn;t use it much. Someday he wont.
It is the first week of summer. The boys are out of school.Phil was off. We went to the church to play bball with a friend from church.We also went to jumpin - Blakes favorite place. Thank heaven for it!!!!! He jumps around. I watched my friend Cindys kids there tonight.
I also taught a couple of piano lessons today! I love to see kids and their first lesson!!!!
This summer will be gone before you know it. We need to make the most of it! Landon is growing up, taylor is also and blake well he's already a grown up. Taylor is playing baseball and Landon might run track to keep in shape. I am tryingto work on my diet and blake turns 3 in a few weeks.
Phil satarted a new job at Heritage Ford in Loveland.I guess Im happy but it was so nice to have him home for a month. Kind of hard to see him go back to work. We had a lot of hours and time to get projects done and to talk. Funny how things change and you can forget to have sun sometimes. Everything is work work work.
I'm so happy to be done with school. It was a good year abut I was really burnt out from giving so much and helping.I didn't really feel very appreciated this year and lots of effort on my part. Not sure how I feel about that.Landon had a wonderful year. Middle school is just the perfect size for him and everything.
Taylor was of course doing great.I don't want them pushing him academically because he is such a perfectionist!! He made asome friem\nds but I told him if he wanted to go back to grandview it's ok for a few years. We will see how he does.
I'm out here for the school. I could move tomorrow for everything else. It's been a great experience here but some things have been hard. I love our location where we live for everything.The church is so close and the kids can practically get anywhere in town they want to. Not crazy about being on main street but itso k.I feel fortunate to have a place to live.
All in all I've ben trying to count my blessings and remember why I am here. Ready for summer
