Summer Fun

Saturday was a busy, busy day for us but we loved every minute of it! It started with a 6:00 a.m. trip to WalMart and Johnson's to buy groceries. Molly and I attempted to do the shopping on Friday but WalMart looked like Christmas Eve so we turned around and walked out! I got up bright & early Saturday morning and took off to do the dreaded trip. Next, we had another family swim at Gig & Mimi's pool. Our cousin from Atlanta, Madison, has been home all week and we've really enjoyed swimming with her. Then we decided to go to Wright's Dairy Farm in Alexandria. The dairy farm is only about 10 minutes away but Molly and I have never been there so we went. It was a family outing... Aunt Kathy, Uncle Mike, Great Mommy, Madison, Molly, Will & Nolan. We got to see the cows being milked and the kids enjoyed some ice cream. Fun! Fun!

Gig really took one for the team last night! He is such an awesome granddaddy! We had made plans with some of our friends to go out to dinner and see the fireworks show in Gadsden. However, Nolan, Cole & Garrett were at Gig's house and guess who knew it? Oh, yeah- Miss Molly! Molly and Nolan never miss an opportunity to play together so Molly decided she wanted to stay with Gig too and Darin and I were happy to let her! Ha! Ha! So, Darin, Will and I went to the Courtyard Cafe with The Diggs and enjoyed a nice, peaceful, delicious dinner! Thank you, Gig! Oh, but wait... it gets better. Gig met us in Gadsden with all the kids to watch the annual fireworks show. By the way, Molly is terrified of fireworks. So we sat outside and enjoyed the fireworks with our friends. Then Gig took ALL 5, yes I didn't stutter, ALL 5 kids to Ashley's house to spend the night. Have I ever told you that I love my dad???? I'm about to leave and go up there. I hope everyone is still alive and breathing!

When we got home, Ashley had left a message on the answering machine from China and we attempted to skype. Not much luck! Very slow and distorted. We may not talk again until July 18th! LOL! Anyway, Mission Mia is still underway and she will be ours in just a few, short hours.

Today, is another action-packed day. We're headed to church, home for a family cookout @ 2:00, baseball practice @ 4:00, cookout @ The Lang's @ 5:00 and church fireworks afterwards. Makes me tired to think about it!

Happpy 4th of July everyone! Isn't is great to be an American. I'm so thankful to all past & present soldiers! God has really blessed the United States of America. Remember to give God the glory and praise Him for all he has done and don't forget to .... Count Your Blessings!

With Love,
