Rozy's Birthday Party

This past weekend we went to Wisconsin Dells. This was one of our presents to Roz. We stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge. If you have small children I highly recommend this resort. But it's also great for all ages. They had a great life guard staff. Most of the pools are kid friendly, and the water slides are so much fun. The depth of most of the pools are 4ft. or less. With the exception of the wave pool. The kids had a blast, and so did Rick and I. Roz invited 3 friends Hanna, Ryott, and Isis. They were so much fun and pleasant to have. The girls were so well behaved, and got along with each other, it was great. It's something we look forward to doing again.

At 8pm the charactors become alive telling a story and singing.

July!!!

July is a great month. Summer at its peak. The smell a flowers, the sight of lighting bugs at night, and sweet watermelon to eat. Swimming, tanning/burning (ouch!), going for walks, and just enjoying the kids playing outside. July for us is another special month with special occasions.

Well I have been back to work since last week. So much for my plans for the summer. Well the beginning of July has been a little hot, but not to bad. I hope everyone has had a great 4th of July. Rick, Roz, and I went and watch the city fireworks. They were loud and beautiful. Keanul ditched us for his friends. Which I know there will more of that in the near future; seeing how he is a teenager!

This time about 8 years ago I was waiting with anticipation. On July 10th of 2000 my beautiful baby girl was born. It's hard to believe that she is going to be 8. The years are just going by. It feels like yesterday I was waiting for Rick to come back home from work. So he could drive me to the hospital. I remember my friend Molly and my lovely mother in law, Jeani, sitting with me until Rick got home. We all just sat, laughed, and had fun. Rick was such a trooper while I was in labor. I think he went got the nurse like 50 times for me. Thanks Rick for being there with me. Love you more.

July 28th another great day! This is my awesome sister Rhonda's birthday. She is the best! Thanks so much Rhonda for being there for us. You are the greatest person I know.

Which leaves me to one of the most happiest days of my life. July 31st! This is Rick and I wedding anniversary. We got married at Rotary Gardens in Janesville in the evening. It was beautiful and magical day for me. I truly married my sole mate and best friend.

I can't believe how lucky I am to be so blessed with a great family! Thank you, Jesus.
