Here are a couple of pictures I got at Rebecca's(Phil's sister) graduation...

Rebecca and her brothers...Karla was not able to make it home.

Swimming at Grandma Jackies~we LOVE it!!! We haven't been able to go for a week or so, hopefully the weather will warm up again-the kids are anxious to go again!

Belle and Conner~they are adorable together:) They rode the same bus this year and became pretty good friends!

We have been pretty busy the last few weeks. Graduations, parties, end of the school year etc. I keep hoping things will slow down one of these days! It is not looking too promising at this point!

Austin is gone all week at a camp up by Brainerd. He and 3 other students from 4th grade were chosen to go to this camp(totally paid for) so they could become safety patrol captains in the fall! Austin was pretty excited to be chosen! He rode up with one of the other boys on Sunday and we are going to pick them up on Friday. Just before dropping him off, I asked if he was nervous. He said, "A little". I think that he will do fine. I talked to a friend of mine yesterday and she said that she went when she was younger and it was the best experience ever! That made me feel a little better:) We are so proud of him and all the things he has accomplished! He truely is an AMAZING young man!

When Phil and I go to pick him and the other boy up on Friday, we are leaving Thursday to have a day/night away without the kids! I am totally looking forward to it. We are going to hit the outlet mall in Albertville and then go on to stay at a hotel(still need to book that). Then we don't have to be to Austin until 2, so we will be able to hang out and have lunch and enjoy the peace:) After the way I have been feeling the last several weeks it will be nice to just sit and relax!

Which brings me to my final point...I have been feeling like crap for the longest time. I have porked up~never been so FAT in my entire life! I have no energy, can't hardly stand for more than 10 or 15 minutes without needing to sit for a very long time. OK so you get the picture...It's BAD! Anyway, my doctor in Red Wing said, "We ran all the easy tests, I'm not sure where to go from here." I was like what???So, he put me on some iron pills because my iron stores were low. Well I have been on them for weeks and still feel horrible. So, I brought it up last week at Bible Study and one of the ladies referred me to a doctor in Eagan. I was able to get an appointment for next Tuesday. Please pray that the doctors will be able to figure out what is wrong, and that there is a cure/fix for it. Also pray that I can get some more energy, the kids are really suffering, I am too tired to even get ready to go to the park or anything. Anyway, once I know more I will fill you in. Until then...
