Lyndon has wanted a trampoline since last summer when his was finally worn out and broke. I told him to
save his money so that is what he has been doing. He has done numerous chores for family members to earn his money. Once he thought he had enough we shopped around for the best deal. He is very proud of his purchase!
My mother has been busily
preparing the 'cottage' for my Memere to hopefully live in. She currently lives in Tucson, but we have been trying to get her to move here for.....a long time! I pray we almost have her to the point of moving. She decided to spend the summer here so we had a few storage items to pick up for her cottage at Ikea. Ikea is such a fun place for all!
We stayed at the Hilton DFW by the lakes and the kids swam for most of the day. Momma flew out early that morning to help Memere fly here.
The pools were all very nice and they even provide pool
toys.
We took our
1st summer camping trip to PK in June.

Carl came with us and they had a
blast making s'mores & tubing.
We saw several
goats too.
The boys made
several lakes in the sand.
The first part of June I worked on
sorting my PPCD/PK classroom while Lyndon was at camps. I have officially moved everything from my old room to my new room.
Yuck, where to even start????? I'm not able to organize my stuff yet, but it had to be moved out of my old room so it could be cleaned; therefore, the mess.
PawPaw
loves to build tanks and the past several years of being in such a severe drought have proved that his logic is very smart! It is amazing how much rain can be collected in a tank with a little rain. This tank is called the
Great-Grandkid tank and after Lyndon listened to PawPaw's ideas for this tank he wanted to check it out first hand...even stand in it.
We have new pet's that Lyndon is very
proud of.

We went camping again last weekend, just the 3 of us and had a
blast!
We came home Sunday and it started to rain...
so we cooked
out....
&
snuggled up because it is chilly!
It rained off and on Monday. I was cuddled up watching the rain coming across the field and listening to these two as they ate supper. I
love listening to their conversations!
Life is
GREAT!
Lyndon's first day of 5th Grade had him extremely nervous. He was nervous throughout the summer thinking about his first day. We toured the school twice, met with the principal, & of course he already new who his teachers were. I was extremely nervous as well for him. I was mostly sad; as he has always been in my building and I would see him in the hall, or walk by his classroom and glance through the window as I passed by and none of this would be possible anymore.
Lyndon's 1st Day of school gifts: a new Webkinz (pig), scapula medal, & a Notre Dame wallet for lunch money.
You can see the nerves in Lyndon as he has trouble smiling. He told me on the way to school that he thought he was going to be sick. So sad he was that nervous.

He had me & Cody walk him into school, put his backpack up, and even wanted us to walk him to the cafeteria. Of course we did!!!!
I was on pins and needles all day to see how his day went. I couldn't wait until 3:00 to pick him up. He walked to the car and was all smiles...."The 4th Grade Teachers were right.....I LOVE 5th Grade!" That made this momma feel so much better!
Lyndon survived his 1st Day of 5th Grade!
