A long post about nothing

We have been having a great week so far! Dusty's days off this week are Tuesday & Wednesday and he took vacation days Thursday & Friday. So, that means we've seen a little more of him!!! He's been busy working on the pool, deck, and mowing his lawns though.

We had a few complications with the pool pump & filter but are hopefully getting the parts today to fix it. Then we just need the deck and we'll be good to go on the pool! Yea! You know, I realized that I didn't warn Dusty what would happen when the pool was up and running. I will be enjoying my little piece of paradise while our house goes to the dogs...er the cat. As in, I probably won't have time to clean, cook, or do laundry because all I will want to do is float around the pool and relax. Ha! I'm sure he'll be wishing for the fall when we can close the pool. :)

Cayson and I tried out the pool today.... he used his new pool float. This thing has to have extreme parental supervision. Cayson can crawl right out of it. Scary, scary. Oh, and I thought I should take a picture of my redneck ladder but I forgot. It's terribly hillbilly... Our real ladder is a deck to pool so we can't use it till the deck is finished. For now, I climb up on a 50 gallon barrel that is upside down and then climb in to the pool. To get out, we have a 2.5 gallon bucket upside down in the pool that I climb on to climb over onto the big barrel. How redneck is that? Dusty took the big barrel today to mow lawns so he left me this ladder that's made for a 30"pool to climb up into the pool. Lets just say it was an interesting event to get me & Cayson out of the pool. Glad nobody witnessed that!
On other news, we are looking forward to the Fourth of July - especially since Dusty is OFF this year!!!! We are heading to C-town to spend the day with the Jarnagin clan. It should be an great day filled with yummy food, outside fun, and family. What more can you ask for?
Today is Louise's birthday - Happy Birthday!!!!! I always think I will shout-out birthdays on the blog, but I always think about it when I'm away from the computer. Not to mention, there are a lot of birthdays in our family to keep up with.

Oh, and I have some other fun news. We booked our "summer" vacation!!!! Yippee!!!!! We're actually not going until September. We're going to Hollywood Beach, FL. It's near Ft. Lauderdale and not far from Miami. I got an amazing deal on airfare - $188 each!!! We are planning on taking Cayson - I keep telling him he'd better not be going through a "phase" in Sept or we'll board him. :) Just kidding, of course... I think. He's been such a good kid that I keep thinking he's going to figure things out and be a terror. Hopefully not.

Guess I am in a newsy mood today, therefor the obnoxiously long post. Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
