This was on Monday, the first day of summer vacation! It didn't seem warm enough, to me, to play in the sprinkler, but they really enjoyed it!
Monday night was Gavin's last baseball game! I was SO miserable! I'm glad they didn't cancel it, because he would have been devastated, but it was raining pretty hard! And it was at the field by the river, so there were swarms of mosquitoes attacking us, too! Yuck! Trevor and I are both still dealing with nasty mosquito bites!
So, a good news update: All of the money that was taken from us during our recent fraud incident, was put back into our account by the bank! Hopefully this is the end of it and we can move on! Phew! And, Bryan (with a little help from Shawn) fixed his car! Way to go, B! And for very little money! Praise the Lord!

Lastly, I have some big news...(Are you sitting down?)...As of yesterday, we are officially Costco members!!!! Woo hoo! (I know! I am just as excited as you are! Ha!) I can't believe we have put it off for so long! I hadn't been to Costco in like 5 years, and then went with my mother-in-law about a month ago! I couldn't believe the prices and incredible deals on things that I buy all the time! Not only did Linda (for "sponsoring" me) and I, both get a $10 gift card when I signed up, I'm certain I will save that membership cost in two trips! Incredible! (I do have
three big boys to feed! Ha!) I found that the biggest problem was trying to find a place to put everything when I got home! I have single chicken breasts shoved in every crevice of the freezer! Ha!
I thought I was done, but I just thought of one more thing! Gavin, (little sweetie!) woke me up this morning and said, "How do I do the dishes? I want to do the dishes for you!" I had a feeling it would prove to be a little too difficult for him, but it sure was a nice gesture! Fortunately, he gave up after putting only one dirty plate into the dishwasher with the
clean dishes!

Boys will be boys! They don't care what the weather is - they just want to play outside :-) The pictures are cute - looks like they had lots of fun. We just got back from Fred Meyer - Bailey got a new little squirt gun, and even though it's raining outside, he tried (unsuccessfully though), to talk me into letting him go outside to play with it! Boys - you gotta love them!
YAY - Costco!! It was a joy seeing Gavin & Trevor's eyes light up at the SIZE of everything there! And leaving with, of course, their beloved blueberry muffins! I can't believe they can each put one whole one away!! Good times :-)
Great stories!
I want to go to Costco with you sometime...will you take me? I don't have a membership but I can go as your guest...right??
Love, Jess
