July Review

Well, i haven't had much time to blog about things lately. With my husband working all the time and riley crawling....blogging is at the bottom of my priority list. While Riley is asleep, i'll try to update you the best i can.

First, Riley is 1 year old as of July 7. We had his birthday party at Wind Creek under one of the pavillions. Obviously the weather can't be predicted exactly so....it rained. But after we ate and openned gifts it stopped so we got to swim anyway! Riley LOVES to swim so he had a good time!

Secondly, we came in 9th place in softball....out of 11 teams. Not a very good record but that's ok. We had fun and we hope to do better next season. I did manage to get injured in almost every game...so it seemed. Got hit twice in the same knee....i'll probably have an ugly scar there, as well as my elbow. And i have two ugly, but fadding, bruises on my leg. Riley even got to join us at the field a time or two.

Here's Papaw and Riley at the field


Thirdly, Randy has been working so much we haven't had time to have much fun at all. No kayaking, no camping....only been to the creek/lake a couple times. So not much to show on this front.

Fourthly, i'm still jobless. Well, i have a home job but no regular "out of the home" job. I LOVE being home with riley but having a little extra money would be nice too. So i'm still looking.

Fithly, with Randy working all the time, our "to do" list has grown significantly. Riley got a swingset from his grandparents and we're still working on getting it put up. Well, Randy and his dad are. I'm waiting for it to quit raining long enough to put water sealant on the porch. I actually put some on it today and its currently raining. ARGH! I also need to finish washing the house which turned into a much larger chore than i had previously thought. Granted, i only have 2 hours a day (when riley takes his nap) to get anything done. We also have gates to put up on the porch so Riley dont fall down the steps...especially when he starts walking. I've been putting magnets on cabinets i prefer Riley not get into (ones that wont hurt him if he does). I've also sprayed for bugs, etc recently. So, my time spent at home has been productive....although very slow since i have a child to take care of and can't be out in the heat long.

That's all i have for now. And by the looks of it, it was enough! haha
