This summer has been busy and exciting so far. The first cool thing was that Holden got to participate in the Special Olympics. He played soccer on a team called the Eagles, which was coached by Derek Price(Kiley's dad). It was so much fun Holden did great. WE had alot of fun cheering for him and the rest of the kids on the team.

This is a cute picture of our tree house that Holden drew. He went outside with his notebook and looked at the tree house and carefully copied almost every detail. I was impressed. Give that boy a notebook and a pencil and he's happy. He draws pictures for hours some days.

Yesterday I recieved these beautiful flowers for my birthday while I was at work. Norm made my birthday a very special day. After work he sent me to get a manicure and pedicure (with my two lovely daughters), which was fun. Later we all went out to dinner to celebrate my 41 years of life at a very nice restaurant called The Chefs Table. It was delicious. We then went over to Joe and Melanies new house where we had german chocolate cake and ice cream. I had a good birthday. I want to thank everyone that called or sent messages with happy birthday wishes to me. All 6 of my siblings called and that really made me feel good. Thankyou all. I love you each so much.

Holdie just had his 5th set of tubes put in his little ears. He did fine and everything went smoothly. This is getting pretty routine.

I got to go on a field trip with Kenzie and her 4th grade class. We went to the This is The Place place. Here are some pictures from that day.
