Oh, boy has it been a while..
What has happened since I last wrote:
Trip to Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin.
4-H fair
Volunteer at New Purpose Retreats
The Garden
It seems like lately the days have ticking by so much faster. I have so enjoyed my summer break. We start school back on the 25th of July. Our county 4-H fair stated the last Saturday and we have been down there already a couple times for our Dog Demo. We actually did a demo the day it was 117 heat index. Talk about miserable. =)
Our trip to Minnesota for the Huntington's Disease Society of America annual convention was a couple weeks ago. We were soo grateful for the scholarship we received. It was a very informative and fun time. Not to mention we got to to see so many states we have never seen! I love traveling!! =D Here are some pictures I edited from our trip to Lake Michigan. (lovely place!)
Then followed that beautiful season... Summer....
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.
~John Lubbock
Heat, ma'am! it was so dreadful here, that I found there was nothing left for it but to take off my flesh and sit in my bones. ~Sydney Smith, Lady Holland's Memoir
(this quote is for those in Kentuckiana who experienced 117 heat index on Monday =) =)

I walk without flinching through the burning cathedral of the summer. My bank of wild grass is majestic and full of music. It is a fire that solitude presses against my lips. ~Violette Leduc, Mad in Pursuit

Memorial Day, Fishin' Trip and a Graduation!
May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Jamie, my Cousin. He graduated as Valedictorian and with Honors and soo much more. We are so proud of him! Here is a few pics from his graduation:

Mattea's New Pup!
Her name is Aggie Bea (short for Aggie Beatrice).
She is an Australian Shepherd and Border Collie mix.
Aggie is such a cute little pup!She is 9 weeks old.
We bought her a little squeaky toy a couple days ago, and she doesn't know what to think about it! She nudges it, barks squeaks at it, and eyes it very closely as if its some vicious attacker.
Whenever she sees my little sisters coming her little tail starts a'waging and she gets so excited! =)
