End of Summer

Well this is pretty much the last big weekend for the summer. Let's see what has happened that I haven't written about for the past couple of weeks. Well.. our little Oliver was in Primary Children's Hospital with a bladder infection. Luckily they caught it in time before it became serious and he only needed one treatment of antibiotics. So he only had to be in the hospital for one day, and then they sent him home. And boy is he ever gaining weight now. He's filling out and looking so healthy. And growing like a weed, and he's starting to smile - LOTS.

And now this weekend his mom, (Tiffany), is in the hospital with several blood clots on her right lung. Today she's doing better, but the blood thinners aren't working as well as the doctors had hoped. So far she has gone 3 days without any cigarettes and she says she is determined to kick this habit. Dave and I are behind her 110%. I told her it only takes 21 days to make or break a habit. Dave said if she goes another 18 days, (which makes 21 days), without smoking we will take her out to a fancy restaurant for dinner. She said "your on - it's a deal". So, we're rootin' for her to win this one!!

Tonight Dave and I had Dakota, Kaitlyn, Courtney (our grand kids), Jason, (Courtney's husband), and Blair, (0ur great grand-daughter) over for dinner and an evening of Wii games. It was fun and yet wore us out. Dakota and Kaitlyn tried to out score me on the Wii Fitness games. The only one that they were successful on was hoola hoops. Dakota said "she might be old, but she's good". Dave just laughed and said "ya baby".

Little Blair was fussy this evening, and it appears as though she might already be cutting her first tooth. Pretty soon, she'll be eating steak with Great-Grandpa Dave.

Two weeks ago Dave and I canned 25 quarts of green beans that we bought from the farm stand. We have picked lots of yellow squash from our garden and have been sharing with Mike and Tami. We are starting to pick our tomatoes, anaheim peppers, and cucumbers and hopefully will have plenty to share with Mike and Tami. Dave has enjoyed our having fresh basil and cilantro to add to my homemade sauces and salsas.

Well it's almost September and I'm hoping to do a better job of posting more information and photos of our life and family. Until them - thanks for reading.
