SUMMER IS HERE!!

The weather is so odd this year. It is cold, hot, cold, WINDY for ever, chilly and then hot..... When I say hot, I do not mean high 80's, or even 90's. It just skips all of those digits and goes to triple digits of 107 or hotter.

It is great to be on vacation though. I cannot express my gratitude to all my family for their help in making Laci's graduation party so memorable. The family reunion was indeed something we all needed. Thanks to everyone who joined us. I realize how costly it was. THANK YOU!! Heidi was stupendous for all her hardwork in planning and organizing. Thanks also goes to my dad and Chris for working on the yard. I know everyone helped. Aunt Michelle and Don thanks for having everyone over on such short notice.

I enjoyed playing the role of an aunt for the few days that I was able to. I loved every minute of it. I enjoyed ALL of the Lutz kiddos, Hallford's, Hanke's baby Brooklyn, and of course Jeff's nephew Julien.

June has been a very busy month. Lots of birthdays and anniversaries: Britten, Julien, Nitu, Paradise and Austin have birthdays and Nathan /Amanda and Jeff/ I have anniversaries.
We attended a wedding on the coast and have been doing exciting things with the boys.

I have been cycling about 80 + miles a week in the early hours. I go for about 2 hours. I love it. I would like to go to the city and bike up hills and see the coast though. I have also been tutoring four students three times a week. Jeff has been taking the boys to swim practice and enjoying good books and movies before school begins. We walk in the country two days a week when I am not tutoring while the boys swim. Laci has been busy working at Cold Stone and organizing her room so Austin can have his own room.

July is going to be even more exciting. On the 4th of July we head to beautiful Lake Tahoe for six days with Jeff's family. The boys have a big swimming Invitational the weekend of the 11th /12th. I have to attend a coaching clinic on the 11th half day so I can coach Preston in soccer for the Fall. Jeff will be coaching Austin.

We hope to head to AZ on the 16th early to avoid the heat so we can see the new Hanke baby expected July 8th or so.


We plan on going to Jessica's baby shower on the 27th.

We begin school on the 28th. YIKES!!!!!

Laci leaves for Hawaii on the 29th..........

Jeff and I plan to go to Hawaii on Aug. 17 or so for a parent orientation. Laci moves in the dorms Aug. 18th. We will not take the boys because it is so expensive and we paln to go for a few days.

I feel very lucky to have such a great family! I hope we can get together more often!!
