Oh the fun that was had!!

Hi gang! I surely do hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful July. Its been nice here the past few days, in the 80"s, a little rainy & I love the rain!!  We have had alot going on this summer (as Im sure you all have!). Two of my older girlz are out of state seeing family, and the other (older one) was in Waco last week on a poverty mission trip w/ our church. She had some amazing stories. One was that they did the prayer of salvation with two sisters who wernt saved. I cried. Its such an awesome feeling to see how Gods plan is unfolding for your baby. We are very proud of her!!! Lil P hasnt gone anywhere except over to a friends to sleep over. She said the other day that she is LOVIN the sisters being gone. She's "not treated like poo and she gets to do what she wants" ( her words!!) We had a wonderful 4th of july party with friends.There were about 12 people and lots of food n fun. The kids swam for hours then we did fireworks for even longer. Here are some photos of the fun filled night...(at the top in our bff Kevin and Syd!)
 This lil P and her friend Abby.
These are my sweet friends Christy & Jw.

The forth was one of the first nights that I had been out in awhile, for 2 reasons. One is that Im doing this weightloss challenge and OMGAW its been realllly difficult. Ive lost considerable weight, but I've barely made it through!!(thank you honey for your love and patience!!)
The second reason is because I fell in my back yard...(ugh!) Sprained both ankles, my right knee, anddddd peepled all the skin off my big toe on my right foot.( I posted pic's on FB case yer interested ;)
So Sat. night was a very special treat, not to mention the fact that we were celebrating the men and women that have fought and are fighting for our freedom. I am so very thankful to live in this counrty, and am deeply thankful for the sacrifices being made!!
I miss all of your beautiful selves and promise to be here way more! Hope your having a fabulous week!!

Thank you so much for your wonderful and caring comments on my blog. Its very inspiring to hear from others how things can and will be better.
Sorry to hear about your fall. Glad to hear you are doing better. And it looks like you had a blast for the 4th.
Good luck on your weightloss. I am currently struggling with that. Just can't find anything that works no matter how much I diet and exercise.

Hello chick!! I've missed ya! I love the pics and I'm sorry to hear about the ankles, knee, toe. It is good to hear you are doing good on the weight loss! I was doing really good and kind of hit a slump when my workout buddy got pregnant and didn't feel like working out anymore. I used it as my excuse too and haven't worked out in LONG time! Take care girl!

Love ya, Jen
