Summer Fun Days, service project.

For our service project this summer we are putting care packages together for troops. We are sending them to my cousin and his unit in Afghanistan. 

The kids made cards and took a pic for the troops. 

Rece, Eli, TJ, Luke, and Hogan. 

The boys then played in Hogan and Rece's room.

Baby Curry!

On July 22 at 1:58pm. Grayson Paul Curry was born! 8lb 11oz and 20.5 in this big boy stole everyone's heart!  

I got to visit on Tuesday.

As you can tell from most of my post, our group is a little boy heavy but we are loving every minute. 

Grayson will fit right in! 

No Water!!

Sunday, July 14, I went to put the boys in the shower and we had no water. Brandon went out in the rain and found water bubbling out on either side of the side walk but he wasn't able to turn the water off. We called the city and they came out and turned it off and told us it was on our side if the meter so we would need to call a plumber.  Since it was Sunday and plumbers are much more on the weekend we called and scheduled one for Monday morning. Sunday night we took dinner to our friends down the street and used their shower! 

Thanks Chris and Kate!!

Monday the plumber came and dug out around the side walk (in the rain) and found that the problem wasn't at a connection but someplace under our drive way. 

I started using rain water to flush the toilets. Fun times I know! 

So we abandoned the old line and needed to place a new one.  Only problem, in order to use the tractor to dig it needed to be dry 3 days. We were on day 2 of a 5 day forecast of rain. I couldn't wait a week for water, remember I was flushing with rain water I collected from the down spout in five gallon buckets. 

So we pain extra to have a dig team come dig up our yard!  They came Tuesday morning and we had water by 4:00pm that night. It was so nice to take a hot shower and flush the toilet. Plus I had lots of laundry and dishes to do!!

The bummer was the city didn't get out until Friday to do the inspection so my yard was turn for almost a week. Monday morning the crew was out to fix the sprinkler line they brook and fill in the dirt! 

Cleaning the playroom at Dad's

Kelsey and I cleaned the playroom at dad's house. It was a mess with six, yes six, shelving units for storage of pictures, decorations, gift wrap, and other stuff (junk). 

While we were there we got a bonus and had the pleasure of celebrating Britton's birthday! 

Here are the pics. (We forgot to take before pics, bummer I know.)

At Mimi and Papa Flash's

We had a great dinner at Mimi and Papa Flash's house July 7th.  After dinner Uncle, Daddy, and Papa Flash took us to see the race cars. Eli and Georgia had a blast watching Papa and the other cars race!  Luke thought it was a little load, mama thought it was a little hot. 

 Here are the pics!
