August, 2009

Summer Band started for Nathan on July 29. He will have band almost every day until school starts. On August 1 he went to a leader's retreat and on the same day, August 1st, almost 50 of my Lee Family came to Midland for a family reunion. It was exceptional. I had so much fun! The next weekend, Bryce & I took a truckload of furniture and housewares to Adam & Laura (his girlfriend) in College Station. We shopped and shopped and I stocked their fridge and pantry. We celebrated Adam's 20th birthday, even though he doesn't turn 20 unitl the 22nd. The next weekend, we took our new (new to us) travel trailer and headed to Junction, TX with our best friends the Webbs. We floated down the river on inner tubes. Well, some of us floated. I bumped along on my butt! Bryce just left to go spend the weekend with his Pipe and Lindy. School starts on Monday and we are all ready to go!

July, 2009

So, after the Fam Va-Ca concluded on July 9, Adam hung around another day for a couple doctor appointments and headed home on Sunday the 12th. That's the same day Nathan left for Band Camp in Canyon for 2 weeks. On Saturday, July 18th Bryce and I drove to Dallas to see our cousin Misty Boyce who plays piano and sings back up for the Naked Brother's Band. That was fun, and Bryce got to go backstage and meet Nat & Alex and get his picture made with them. I'm not to sure it would be cool to post that picture on the blog without their permission, so if you want to see it, you will have to come to our house! The next Friday, the 24th, Bryce and I drove to Canyon to hear Nathan's concert. It was fantastic, as usual. On the 26th, my Gan celebrated her 83rd birthday. I listened to my inner child and put 83 candles on her birthday cake!

Man Cave Update

Eric's shop is nearly done. A few more bricks, a door, & electrical and I'll be shovelling goodies from the garage into his "Man Cave"!

Alisa's Plans

I just talked with Alisa. She made a 52 on her Air Force entrance exam. She said that qualifies her for any of the jobs she wants to do. She will hopefully do MEPS (more entrance requirements and medical review) in a week or so and then she will get her dates for boot camp. She is very excited and we are very proud!

Family Vacation 2009

Our fantastic, fun family vacation in California! We went to Disneyland on Day 1. Day 2 we spent at Newport Beach and finished off with Mideval Times. Day 3 we went to Disney's California Adventure. Day 4 was spent in Hollywood checking out Mt. Lee, the Walk of Fame, Rodeo Drive, and a Warner Brother's Studio Tour. We had lots of extra time for shopping, eating, bowling, and eating. And, oh yes, did I mention, eating?
