Pool Day

What better time to be "retired" than in the summer.  The kids and I are taking full advantage of the few weeks of summer we have left (it doesn't hurt that our friends' house where we're staying has a pool!)

jumping in!

 Cooper always has a smile on his face

 for some reason, they spent most of their time playing in the hot tub

 Cooper practiced his swimming with his face in the water

 it was hard work getting this picture!

Day at the Lake

We spent a lazy day at Gigi & Bubba's house today.  Cooper went to work with Bubba early in the morning. Greg, Reagan and I came to visit the shop later in the day.

Cooper's work includes test driving mowers

 Reagan tests the comfort of the seats

 Reagan was also the greeter for the day

 Cooper wanted to show Greg how the lawnmowers worked

 two thumbs up!

 Reagan bored rather quickly of the work and went and sat in the van!

a boy's work is never done ~ he cleaned out logs from the lake

 Reagan came down to the lake to supervise

 she really wanted to ride on the boat!

 Finally, a boat ride.  No swimming today as a storm was nearing, but we did get to spend a little time on the lake

 Cooper waved at the passing boaters

 After dinner and ice cream, Cooper rode his 4-wheeler

SOLD

Friday the 13th is usually thought of as unlucky, but for the Sandidges today was a good day!  We sold our house!!  

it's so good to see this sign in the yard!

 It was a little sad as the movers carried everything out of the house.  I may or may not have shed a few tears!  This was the house where we brought our children home to and watched them achieve all their milestones.

We're staying in a friend's basement for a few weeks until we are able to close on our new house!

Away

You may have noticed my lack of blogging lately, but I've had nothing to blog about.  Reagan and Cooper are spending the week with Gigi and Bubba.  This is the 1st time EVER that I have been away from them.  (we either travelled together or they were always at home if I wasn't).  I've been busy, but missing them like crazy.

Thankfully, Gigi & Bubba knows my tendency to take a picture now and then, so they sent me one.

Can't wait to see them on Friday!

Waiting

Gigi & Bubba are coming for a visit today.  When I told Cooper, he sat up a chair in the garage and said he was going to wait for them (although they wouldn't be here for a least another 8 hours).  He was so sweet!

he lasted about and hour in the heat

 watching and waiting

 Reagan convinced him to pass the time by playing in the backyard
