The mouse that made me scream.........
Derek and I Keep the dog in our bed room at night with a child's gate. During the day we place the gate against the wall. With that all said , last night Derek and I were watching a movie when Derek spotted a mouse run behind the gate and told me to get on the other side to keep it from escaping. I'm not afraid of mice and had no problem with doing what he had asked of me. We both snuck up to either side of the gate and the mouse decided it wasn't going to cooperate with what was happening, so it started moving towards the side that I was at. Derek didn't want the mouse to escape and kicked the gate trying to get it, but the problem with that was the bang startled me and I screamed and jumped back letting the mouse slip by. Derek started laughing due to the fact that he had never heard me scream like that. Derek and I went on the hunt in the other room but couldn't find it. We found some mice traps and put the behind the dresser in the closet and under the shelf and decide to check in the morning. Guess What We Found In The Morning ????? One dead mouse!!!!!!!!!!

The heat is on.......
So we started out the weekend with my Brothers 9yr old spending the night. He kept the kids busy and entertained which is always good. We got to go to Nana's and Grandpa Terry's house for dinner and then watched a movie. Nickolas was the first to fall asleep so we loaded all 5 kids up and set off for home. By the time we got from my mom's house to our house we had been driving for almost 45 min and all the kids were asleep.
On Saturday Papa and Matthew showed up to the house to pick Nickolas up. He wanted to stay to play with the kids but finally let his father talk him into going home. The kids played in there rooms complaining every time they ventured outside that the heat was just too HOT, But every so often the would decided that they wanted to go outside and would return quickly. Derek and I watched 6 Hours of Lonesome Dove the movie and the kids would sometime sit to watch the horses in it. I made Pizza for dinner and to bed they went.
Sunday was just the same with the heat. Derek and I took a look at the garden and guess what we found that's right a ripe tomato the first of the year. Better than last year due to the squirrels. We decided to go for a drive and did some errand's went to the coop, Lowels, Arbys (for lunch)and Albertson's then headed home. The heat was still very warm showing on the car temp that it was 103 in town. Not wanting to be hot we decided to call Katherine and ask if she wanted to go swimming with us. The kids were excited about getting in the pool and had allot of fun. We BBQ some ribs and watched a movie(Sherlock Homes)then Katherine left. Put the kids to bed and settled into our own for the evening. The heat is keeping up from doing allot outside but its still nice that there's no Snow.

Working in the Yard
Derek and I worked in the yard. Derek mowed the weeds down in the back yard and tilled up where the grass is going to be. Derek also worked on the shed putting shingles on it. I weeded the garden and everything is getting so big and I cant wait till everything starts producing.
The Kids got some new goggles and Hope and Jacob were trying them on for me too see.
The garden is getting so big and I'm starting to get tomatoes on them. I cant wait till stuff starts getting red. I did some weeding in the garden and it looks so much better with out the weeds.

The boys were all having so much fun trying to catch the ball. We moved the party to the front yard and watched the fruita fireworks and lite a few of our own. The kids were having so much fun and all the "ooh and ahh's" comeing from the kids were cracking me up.
