This last week, both of my kids were up in Arlington with their grandparents. They got to go see a movie, go ice skating and go to a water park. They had the best time. They still can't beat their Papaw in checkers.

Sweet 16...
July 20th was Amy's 16th birthday. We took her to Red Robin for dinner that night. My sister, Judy, and my Mom and Step Dad and her best friend, Hannah went with us. We came back to the house for cake and ice cream. Then another day, I took Amy and Hannah to a really nice spa for facials and massages. They loved it. Happy Birthday, sweet girl!!! We love you!

Chicago...
Amy and Johnny both went on a wonderful mission trip to Chicago last month with the church youth choir. The first stop was Little Rock, Arkansas. While there, they were able to tour the Clinton Presidential Library. Then, in Chicago, they held daily Vacation Bible Schools, were able to host sports camps and help in a homeless shelter. They shared the gospel in music, drama and other new ways. While there, they went to the Sears tower, the Navy Pier, Six Flags and ate Chicago style pizza. What a wonderful experience!

Dr. Michael DeBakey dies at age 99
Death of an amazing man. I remember talking to his assistant back in the early 90's when my stepmother needed a quint bypass. I had called his office to see if she could get in to see him to get a second opinion. They would be able to see her, but she decided against the second opinion.

Olive Riley sings Smile, smile, smile
An Australian woman, Olive Riley, dies at 108 believed to be the world's oldest blogger, after writing a post about her deteriorating health.
Olive Riley began blogging in February 2007 after a friend suggested the idea and offered to type up the posts on her behalf.
Her blog, The Life of Riley, became an international hit, with readers logging on from the United States to Russia to hear stories about her life.
Mrs Riley' tales of surviving two world wars and the Depression, bringing up three children on her own and working as a cook in the Australian outback and a barmaid in Sydney, were also nominated for a Blogger's Choice award in 2007.

All State Choir Camp
Amy went to an All State Choir Camp at a local Junior College this week. It is in preparation to audition for the All State Choir in September. Today was their concert for the parents. The music was very interesting and very hard. Some of the songs were in different languages. Amy did a fantastic job!

Off to camp.....
Today Johnny and 65 other middle school kids got on the bus to Church Camp. They will be on the other side of San Antonio for about a week. They will have such a blast. I am so thankful that my kids want to go to everything and try new things. I sure will miss him! Look how tall he is!!! I am looking forward to spending time alone with Amy this week. She goes off to camp in Oklahoma in a couple of weeks and then I will have time alone with Johnny. I love my babies!!!!

Lunch at Mom's
We went to my Mom's house today for lunch. The kids took turns riding on the little truck thing that my Step Dad made. Amy had fun playing on my Mom's organ in the hall.

Declaration of Independence
In searching for something significant to post regarding the 4th of July, I came across this video about the Declaration of Independence. It is 14 minutes long, but in my opinion, well worth it. I found it very interesting. I wanted to be reminded of just why we celebrate our independence.....
