Birthday's, Bix, Squirrels, Life & Death.

Since it seems like I am doing a 'blog post of the month' thing I decided to throw a bunch up at once! July was a busy month for us with several weddings to attend, birthdays to celebrate, running the Bix, big ol storms knocking out the power & squirrels out of the trees! Here are a few highlights!
Steve celebrated his 37th Birthday on the 26th! We had yummy chocolate cake!



The baby squirrels that fell from
the oak tree during the big storm. We took them to the squirrel rescue.



Aaron ran the Jr Bix for the 3rd time this year. I KNOW it doesn't matter & no one keeps score but he came in 11th! Makes me proud!

Abby at the Bix.


We dog sat or maybe I was sat on by dogs!



I celebrated my 36th Birthday on the 16th. We had pizza, cake & went swimming.
It was a lot of f
un!





I realize that I need to smile more! Life is WAY too SHORT to let the little stuff get to you. I look at these pictures & around at my beautiful family & I am blessed, truly blessed!

My dad called tonight & let me know that my uncle John died this morning. He had brain cancer & it was time. I won't be able to be there for the funeral, I have wedding flowers to do & deliver on Friday. I will send my prayers.

Life is like that, and yet it goes on.

Sorry for your loss, Happy Birthday to you and husband. Congrats to Aaron on the bix. And I didn't know there was a squirrel rescue. We had a HUGE tree come down on our house (pix on my blog)during the storm and the squirrels we had pestering us won't be able to get on the house anymore. Miss seeing you at Scrapaganza, I'm rarely there. My scrap budget has taken a hit with the prices of gas and food, not to mention school clothes, yikes!

Keep smiling!

Thanks Charlene! Yes there is a squirrel rescue in Iowa & Illinois! They are just women who rehab abandoned squirrels & other wildlife. Pretty cool! They are pests but I just couldn't let them die.
