Lazer

Well, it has been decided that the cat shall be called Lazer, for that is a manly name. It is getting fat, and frisky. So far it seems to know that if it goes for my legs or feet it will be given to Shadow as a play toy. So far the new has not worn off either. I still have to solve the fights over the cat several times a day. Jason however loves the cat, and even though I keep threatening, it appears that the cat is staying. Four kids, two fish, a dog and a cat. The house is full. I keep thinking "I need to enjoy the full house because it won't be full forever." Some days it is easier than others. The summer seems to be flying by. It has finally warmed up here and today was a great summer day. We slept late, lounged around this morning. After lunch, we ate Ice cream cones at the park. Now Annie is down for a nap, and the boys are jumping on the trampoline while taking turns spraying it down with water. I hope you all are enjoying the fleeting days of summer.

Goings on

Caleb was riding his bike with his cousin and they found this kitten by the road. It was pretty gross looking and very scared. So they took it to my in laws house. There my wonderful sister i law and friend bathed it and cleaned out its nose and ears, and then she promptly put it in a kennel and brought it to my house. I know, she is so sweet. Anyway, I was holding it for just a minute thinking about it and Trever comes up. He sees the kitten, holds it for a second, and then hugs me saying " OH Mom, thank you thank you. I have been praying and praying for a cat. Now Heavenly Father answered my prayer. Thank you for getting me a cat. " There were almost tears in his eyes. So after Jason got the story and looked at the kitten, Trever and Dad promptly set out to get food, and litter. Have I mentioned my feelings on cats. ..... It is cute, and Trever seems to want to call him snowball. I guess I can go with SB for short. This picture is hard to see, but I had to post a picture of all the rain. No matter where we go, or what we have planned, we seem to get thunder showers to go with it. We were at the dinosaur park and the kids were playing in the sand on the play ground equipment when this cloud burst came. They were all very wet, and sandy, but it provided a great time for all.

Here is Annie and mom under the awning trying to stay dry while all the kids were having a great time in the rain.

We are all having a great time with lots of cousins this summer. The days stay busy and we are getting excited to go camping again. I will try to post more pics soon.
