Summer Heat

The temperature again, being on the warm side, the children and I voted for the water park! It has been so hot and humid! We are all in agreement we will be back, we had the park to ourselves for awhile- which was very nice:) I think Bradlynn had the most fun getting her brothers soaked! Hope each of you are enjoying your summer!

A Week With All Boys...

Yes, that's right, a week of all boys in the house! Bradlynn is at camp this week which leaves me as the only girl in the house! I can not complain, the boys have really made it easy on me and actually spoiled me. From letting me have first choice on all the "boys only" toys and by tons of extra kisses,and just being extra sweet~ "cause my heart hurts with sissy being gone", according to Hunter Wade. I have to admit, my heart does ache because she has been gone. Friday is one day away, yea!
This week has had it's moments, Cottontail, Bradlynn's bunny, has been missing since Monday morning, Hunter Wade has had breathing issues all week. He's been on breathing treatments every 4-6 hours and steroid meds just to relieve the airway. Please keep him in your prayers, we are suppose to be in the 90's the next couple of days and the heat index is going to reach 105+, which does nothing for his breathing :( Plus he is suppose to play in his first T-ball game Friday evening.
We started harvesting parts of the garden, zucchini, beans, carrots! Very yummy I might add. I've found a few recipes for zucchini and very excited about trying them out. Of course we've had tons of zucchini bread/muffins already, nothing like each of those fresh out of the oven with a little bit of butter :} yum yum!
Although this has been a short recap of the week, I can not forget my thankful thursday~ friendship. I'm thinking of one in particular. We met several years back and to be honest not really clear on all the details, as how we met, we just became kindred spirits, as Anne would say. We have lived in different parts of the country, lived in the same towns, together and at different times. We've seen how God has supplied our families needs when we just didn't know how, when or where things would come from or even how they would ever be resolved. I look back at these years and I really am thankful for her dear friendship, a friendship that if we are together words don't have to be said, it 's already understood, a friendship that doesn't drain me, just constantly grows and encourages me to grow, a friendship that comes true to the end! Saying that, I pray that my children will too find this type of friendship and be that type of friend! So, to you my friend, thank you for all the years of laughter, tears and friendship, God has truly blessed me with a friend like you!
Proverbs 18:24 A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. I pray that each of you have a blessed week!
