Weekend Project

Sunday afternoon our friends bob & wanda came over to bring some of the chairs that she had painted saturday. As you can see beside here.

then i painted my first chair that sunday afternoon(with the guidance of my friend wanda)

we are selling these chairs at a booth we are setting up this summer. let me know if your interested in some of our art. also we will be glad to take any ideas for scenes on the back of these chairs as well.

Today we woke up early as usual but today was different because today was the day we went and picked up cody from camp war eagle after a week of being there.
He looked so tired but at the same time he was very excited to see us. His favorite part of the day was getting in the air conditioning. He has been without it for a week. Cody is a very hot natured child and will start sweating at the drop of a hat. I was glad to see that he wasn't sun burnt although he did get a great tan!
Glad he is home and also glad that he decided not to attend the wrestling camp next week.
Tonight cody is gonna have some dad time and I'm gonna decorate for our upcoming 4th of July party and Ashley is working........

LETTER FROM CAMP

this morning i opened the mailbox to find this in there. (i'm typing this the exact way it was written on the postcard)

Hey family,

Im having a great time at camp. I
was put on osage. I had to buy
A fan because it
felt like 100~F
cant wait to come
home
sincerly,
cody


needless to say that tears came instantly just because this is his first year to camp and away from us that long. i miss him so much and i'm hoping he doesn't want to go to the wrestling camp in kansas on sunday.

today i am a little sad feeling like i am missing something. yes i know i am missing cody. we dropped him off sunday for 7 days to summer camp. this is the first time he has been away from us in his 11 years for more than just a over night stay except the time when we were in vegas for a week when he was a baby. even then i got to talk to him to tell him goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite, love you and sweet dreams our usual night time routine. but you can't have phone calls there i can send him a email but he can only send me letters via snail mail (no offense postal service but when you are a mother awaiting a letter from your kid you guys are snail mail).
i know he is having a good time cause i can look at him on the camp internet site at his daily pictures which is good and trust me i am kinda jealous cause the camp has activity that even us a adults would love to do.
ray got to see him yesterday when he was called out to do a service call on the air unit in the front office which by the way i think he intentionally damaged so he could be the one they would call (just saying that's awfully weird how when cody wasn't there the service guys went but now that cody's there ray goes) and also the man that is over the camp told ray that was the quickest response time yet from us and then just laughed........it is kinda funny!!!!!
well i am hoping saturday comes soon cause we get to pick him up that morning but then sunday morning head to kansas and drop him off for a week of wrestling camp. man once i get him home we need to take a vacation.

ARVEST BANK CAR SHOW

June 6th, 2009 we attended the 1st Annual Arvest Charity Car Show to benefit the Rogers Noon Kiwani's Youth Program.

there was 79 cars that entered in the show. it was held in the parking lot behind the Frisco Station Mall. Luckily bob bought camp crass and had it set up ready to avoid the sun shining down on us as we set in our chairs on the asphalt.

total monies raised was $1415.00 for the Kiwani's

we weren't sure what kind or how many trophies would be given out since it was the 1st annual.

registration began at 9 am and the show was over by 2 pm.

we had a great time just sitting around talking and watching ray show off his new 2010 camaro "wet dream"ray entered his 2010 camaro (this was the first show it has appeared in since he just picked it up 2 days prior) "wet dreams"i entered my 1950 chevy 3100 truck "the peppermint express" and my 2009 saturn sky convertible "fat bottom girl"

bob entered his 2007 mustang "misty"
unfortunately i was the only one to bring home a award (note: rate the award a 2 out of 10) for Top 18 with my 1950 chevy truck. the judges were not professional MAC judges so it was just what ever they liked best (not a fan of shows like that)

i also won a $100 visa gift card, ray and bob won car tools as the door prizes. so in reality we all came out with something.

but i will say that ray's camaro stole the show and drew the most crowd cause they are still so rare that for some it was their first time ever seeing the 2010's.

photo's of the princess of the eagle's at the lake....
