Christmas in July 2008
Just a peek into our awesome weekend.
2008 Christmas in July / Spence family reunion.
This year my mom was the hostess and she ROCKED! It was a great time.
Everyone had fun - even those that usually stay quiet all day. :-)
My mom created a theme for this year - Family Olympics. Complete with a torch to begin the fun, and team games, and gold, silver and bronze awards !!
We played bingo and a new dice game that evening !!
Thanks Mom for another weekend full of awesome memories.

Busy* Crazy *and Still Sick!!
Oh I am so out of the loop and way past due to update.
Just a quick 'hello' to let everyone know all is well. The Barton's are busy getting ready to head north for the yearly Christmas in July celebration!!
I have been going to bed early, napping when I can .....and I am still fighting like mad to be healthy again...this darn pneumonia is lingering and just will not let me free!! I was a good girl - skipped the Martina McBride concert that I had tickets too- thanks Beth for being ok with missing it and helping me pass the tickets on to someone who could use them, missed a card making party, and 2 days of work!! Enough! I took the nasty meds and suffered with all the side effects and it is still hanging on!! I am going back to the dr next week and they are doing blood work....to check and make sure I do not have mono again....I had it when I was 21. Stronger antibiotics coming my way, I do believe.....which itself can be a challenge for me, as I am a lucky one with many many allergic reactions to antibiotics.
The boys have been busy with friends. The hubby has been awesome since I have been 'down'. Riley is wild!!
OH and ............The garden has started to show up on the dinner table....YUM! Fresh green beans and zucchini so far!!
A fun update to come soon....as soon as I feel spunky again!!

yucky day x 2
WOW - Tuesday night the boys were horsing around in the pool- and I came up from doing laundry to a screaming crying child. Thought I was at the wrong house for a minute....then I saw a bloody child I recognized being escorted in by his 2 brothers.....YEP, Steve II !!
They were dumping each other off their rafts and he tried to leap at Jake, Jake was too quick- moved to the side and Steve hit his face on Koda's hip bone. Cleaned him up , applied ice and decided to wait and see what things looked like in the morning-
Called him in the morning - he is sore, bruising and had a headache....doubted my momma skills about now. Emailed Beth asking if I was totally a bad mom and what her opinions were...then called the Dr. Dr could not get us in so I took him to Express Care!
10a- 2p = 4 xrays, a Dr that says there is a suspicious area near the flare of his nose - not much we can do....they will call us with results and a definite answer in 2-3 days! ?? Hmm, thinking he will now look even more like his daddy- oh Me. Crooked Nose himself....only daddy's are because he was a brawler in his younger days!! :-)
Much better now...in fact off to stay the night at his aunt's last night with Koda. Jake is off staying with another friend for a couple days!!
THEN..........I started the sneezy allergy ick yesterday morning - came home last night - started with Tylenol Allery Sinus.....not much relief....then I remembered and started Dimetapp- just like the drs used to give me when I was a kid....feel better now but am 'trotting' along from either a bug I picked up at Express Care or from medicine belly?
I am home today!! Just Mom and Riley - watching movies and napping!!
Is it Friday yet?

4th of July Fun
We went to Mike and Jennifer's for an afternoon cookout on the 4th! We all had a great time. Only one mishap and thankfully it was not as bad as many are.....one of the lg fireworks fell over and the bottom blew out....the inside packing - NOTHING ON FIRE- came out the end with great power and hit Jake....he tried to block it with his hand so- he has bruised finger tips and a HUGE bruise on his thigh!! WOW was that ever enough to put an end to a fun night! This mom was running - yep girls it's true- I can still run!! :-) He is fine= just bruised and sore !! Otherwise, the night was a blast!!
We had so many party invites this weekend - it was awesome but almost too stressful to figure out which one to go to. On the 4th we went with family - as Steve is back in touch with his siblings and it has been years since he has celebrated anything or had fun with them.....and it was just that- great fun, pics and memories. :-)
The 5th we spent crossing many things off the 'honey do list'. Steve with Koda created the ring toss game for Christmas in July! Very cool, will post pics soon!! ( Need to place an order- call. :-) The pool is up and ready!! The basement is MUCH cleaner. yadda yadda
The chefs - complete with their refreshments. Mike Jr and Steve Sr - boy they look a lot alike as they get older.
the kids all played volleyball
Koda being the typical Koda Clown!! :-)
A glow stick as a nose ring? The connector broke - he was oh so creative!!
Jake the Thinker?
Steve and Mike made a trip to Ohio on Thursday - and here is one of the blasts we were shown. They did a great show for us all
