Been a while!

OK, so yeah, it's been a while. I've been distracted, no biggy. We had a great Father's Day. I invited the kids over for a bbq on Saturday. Drew & Harmony and of course Jaydin stayed the weekend, then Jammie and Marcus and the boys showed up Saturday in time for dinner. Brendan came over early that day and helped me grocery shop and I tell you, that was a first. He and I had fun, we went to the dollar store to pick up some things for the bbq, we decided to get some water guns and water balloons that came with a sling shot. Oh man......after we had dinner, which was delicious, thanks Kim, Drew and Brendan started in on the balloons, then Jammie, I pulled out the video camara and recorded for evidence of the abuse that they put on me! It was so much fun, we had a huge water fight, ended up with me falling (tripping) and Drew dumping a gallon or two of water on me. I found the hose and went after them all like a wild woman. Yes, Kim got it on video. Yes, I want to burn it. Anyway, we had a great weekend.

Brendan in now with us for part of the summer. He is so board, we have a huge house and it's so quiet. I'm going to pick up Stephanie from St. George tomorrow so she will help break the silence. I'm sure Jammie and the boys will be over tons now, to see aunt stephy!

We sold our camper to Drew, in hopes of getting one with a toilet and shower (I'm old and I don't want to deal with it anymore). Getting ready to get one soon so we can have it ready for the Judd Reunion. Looking forward to it! Kim and Brendan have been working on the yard getting ready to set up the swimming pool. We haven't set it up for years. So that will be a nice break from the heat, and will have playing with the grandbabies in it! I really love our yard and house. I love summer. I've been trying to keep up on my flower bed, trying to stay ahead of Marley, she likes to get in and dig her a cool spot, so Kim set up a small kiddy pool for her to play in. She loves the hose, it amazes me to watch her. So funny. I hope that Kim and I will someday be able to purchase this home and stay here for good. It feels like home and is nice when the kids come home to visit. I just wish any of my family or Kim's family would come visit us. I really do like to entertain, and our yard is so beautiful and relaxing. hint hint hint

I set up a family web site for my family the Rogers', but no one frequents it. Cathy, Cassy and Pete are the only ones. And I'm sure it was to make sure that I didn't yell at them. Anyway, no worries, their loss. I'm going to set one up for the Judd family, I bet I will have a better response than my family........ : (

So, here I go adding more to my blog page. I haven't been on for a while. Things have been really quiet at the Judd home. Kim and I are a bit lonely. We got to watch Joey and Lyndon last Saturday for a little while, then we all went to Gran's for a bbq. It was nice. We really enjoy hanging out with the family. We then came home and messed around the house and yard a bit. Nothing exciting. If you can't tell, I'm board.
I've been thinking about going to school. I'm checking into taking some photography classes. I want to purchase a new camara (very expensive)... thanks to Harmony, she bought one, now I see how cool they are and want one. I would really like to start my own business, taking photographs of families. I have also been working on Kim's grandma's life story. I finally finished typing it! Woo Hoo! Now I'm just adding all the other elements to it, like her patrachal blessing's, other letters and memento's that she has collected. Then I have to scan all the pictures and I'm going to put it together as a book. I will then be able to have it printed for family members, and also have all the pictures and such on a disk, so family members can do as they wish with them (so everyone has a copy). I have had such a strong urgancy to get this completed for her. It's amazing to be able to get to know this amazing woman who has lived 100 years on this earth. She has had such an amazing life, she has such a strong testimony of the gospel and has devoted her life to it. She has had so many trials, losing 3 husbands in a lifetime. Yet you go visit her and she will still smile and be so happy to see you, you can just feel the love from this women. She truly is a choice spirit. I am very thankful that I have been given this opportuntiy to help her document her life and make it available for all to enjoy. This has been such and inspiration to me, I have felt drawn to begin doing this for more people. I think I am finding my next calling in life. I just hope I can live up to it.
