Busy Summer Time...

This summer is just whizzing past me! I keep thinking I need to update this blog, but always seem to be on the run. Mel and I have been able to spend almost every other weekend at our beach house this summer, and are loving every minute of it. When not down there it seems like we have other places to go. I went to the Oregon Jamboree this summer and got to see Randy Owen of the group Alabama. He is touring on his own now, but still sings a lot of the old songs, so I loved it. Jeanne H and I got to go backstage and see him and get autographs and have our pictures taken with him. That was the topping on the cake that weekend.

I have gotten to see Quintin a lot this summer too and love it. He is a very busy little boy, just like his Daddy used to be. And I love talking to Kaeden and Kailer on the phone. I called Kaeden while I was watching Randy Owen and let him listen to him sing. He was so excited about it, and also liked it when I sent him some pictures that I took. Kai Kai is always jabbering to me. Most of the time I can get the jest of the conversation, but sometimes Jen has to interpret for me. I love that she sends me pictures of them too. I am going to be going up to their birthday party soon.

Lance and Bobbi are expecting a new daughter any day now, so Lexus will be a big sister to Bailee Rae (unless they change her name). I went over last night and took some "belly" pictures for Bobbi.

I am attaching a few of my favorite pictures over the summer. I hope to be better in the future at posting on this blog.

Til later..

I have 3rd row, corner of the stage seats, but this year when Randy came on, a friend of mine who has 2nd row center stage seats, traded with me. She said she knew he was "my man" and knew how much it would mean to me. I thought that was so awesome of her!

Hmmm...look who had his arm around me...and mine aroung him. I saw him in concert for the 43rd time, and loved every one of them:

We bought these bar stools the last time we were at the coast:

Jeanne and I with Mr. Sailor:

Mel and I with Mr. Sailor, our house mascot:

Ronald made Mr. Sailor for us right after we started building the house, so I had to have a picture of them together. I try to have a picture taken of the people who stay at the house with Mr. Sailor before they leave:


Tammy & Mr Q at the ocean:


Jen & Kai at the ocean:


The wall in our master bathroom. I love how it turned out. The little picture is Jen and Kai at the beach, and the picture on the counter is Tammy and Quintin at the ocean
