Kynlee celebrated her 9th birthday on Sunday and had a slumber party last night with her friends. Thank goodness we only had six girls in all. I like to keep things small and simple and keep my sanity! Her theme was "Camp Rock" from Disney's newest movie launch. They enjoyed a 'cool whip' fight in the back yard and made a mess. I've posted a goofty picture for you to see how much fun they were having. Ice cream sundae's followed the fight! Hagen enjoyed cleaning up the mess in the yard for them. I also posted a picture from her birthday lunch on her real birthday.
For those of you who have known about our duck problem, it has been resolved. They are now happily swimming in Lake Waxahachie with the other ducks in the community. We just hope they didn't take up camp on someone elses porch. Now I'm VERY MUCH enjoying a clean back porch again! It was sad to see them go, at least for Scott and the kids, but I'm good with it. I don't think we'll be raising baby ducklings again any time soon. It was a nice try. I'll post again with hopefully some good stuff. Thanks for keeping up with us and sorry it was a little longer than I thought to post the second time.

An Update from the Shell's
I hope this finds everyone doing well and enjoying the summer. The Texas heat is already in full swing and for once I'm thankful for the wind on our little hill. Well I have to say I didn't think the day would come when I found myself typing on a blog. With that said there are many times the kids do or say something that I want to share with others because lets face it, kids say the darnedest things. Half the time I forget so I thought this would be a good way to share with our friends and family what's going on in our world.
As you can see from the picture I've posted we have a new puppy. She is a little Yorkie and we are having a lot of fun with her along with a little work. I have to say this was my idea (yeah, surprise to me too) so I got to name her. Her name is Roxi and we all agreed it fits. So far she is doing really good and has even gotten a little feisty. The kids love her! As for Hagen, the juries still out. She hasn't quite figured out what to think of her.
The kids are out of school for summer and have a few camps lined up along with VBS at the Baptist church here in town. Carson is finishing up his 2nd year of t-ball and I think we're all ready for the break. He loves it, but it's getting a bit hot. Carson turned six in April and Kynlee will be nine on Sunday. I can't believe how the time has flown by.
Scott has been extremely busy with his A/C stuff and can hardly keep his head above water. We are still in the process of transitioning from Shell Aire to Maypearl Heating & Air. We are hoping to keep him a bit closer to home. Since buying his current truck in August he already has a little over 30,000 miles so far. Let's just say there is a ton of driving in this business. This doesn't include the trips I make to and from the parts house myself. Yes, I help when needed besides just the "office" part.
As for me, August will complete my first year since returning to school. It has been hectic with the online classes changing every five weeks, but I like that they are short. I hope to finish in about a year and a half and be teaching soon after. I'll keep you posted. That's about it for now and I hope to put updates as often as I can. With the kids being home for the summer and me still in school we'll see how it goes.
