Summer

Well I look around and I see that summer is half over. My goodness how time goes by way to fast!! Tanner finished up with baseball June 21st, his team placed 8th out of 46 teams in the State Tournament in Branson. It was an exciting tournament, the boys played very well!! We are getting ready for Ozark Empire Fair at our house now. Carlee will be taking two steers and Tanner has his loving goat. The kids are getting very excited around the house. Bert has been working in the hay field, and trying to get that caught up after all of the rain that we got. We had a really nice 4th, it was so much fun. We had my family come over and then Bert's sister and parents came over also. We had a bbq, with fireworks and then we had a campfire to roast marshmallows. We bought a slip and slide and the kids had a blast on that throughout the night. I am really glad that we got to do that all together as a family.
I would like to ask each and everyone of you to please remember Doug McKibben in your prayers. Doug is our neighbor, and he has been diagnosed with Burkitt Lymphoma. It is an agressive form of cancer, and he is up at KU Med Center receiving treatment. Doug's children are the kids that were in the mud fight with my kids in the pictures from the June blog. He is around 42, and still has a lot of life to live with his family. Please keep him in your prayers, and his family too.
