Holy Summer Batman!

It's been the summer of many headaches. To start I went back to our deep freezer to grab some meat for dinner, only to find that no power had been getting to the freezer. So as I balled, I threw away around $800 worth of meat, and all of the Jam that I had finished about 4 weeks earlier. To say i was upset about this is an understatement, seeing as most of you know i don't cry very much. So below is my now empty freezer after it's been cloroxed to death.





But our fun had only just begun. Gregg called me from work and told me an interesting story. One his way to work that morning, he had a semi truck full of rocks pass him going the other direction. That's when he heard what sounded like a gun shot ring through his car, and saw the small crater the giant rock made in his windshield. We know that we were blessed cause if the rock had hit any harder, it would have come right threw the glass and smashed into Gregg's head. I was very revealed that all i have to replace now is a windshield, and not a husband.
And if we thought that we were done with all the excitement, we were way wrong! I was cleaning the kids's bathroom (yes I know it's shocking that i was cleaning) and as i was scrubbing the floor i found my hand suddenly inside a wall. I figured it would be an easy fix, so i took off the vinyl covering that was one that wall, only to find extensive water damage and mold from a water leak we never knew about. And thus started the 3rd remodel job we have done in this trailer since the summer began.

But we have found sometime between all the madness to have fun. MaKayla and Brenix have been spending lots of time out in the little pool we have.


Ignore the black spot on Brenix cheek, MaKayla through some mud at him.
All and all it's been an interesting summer so far. But with the family safe sound and having fun, it's all been worth it.
