Well it has been almost a month since I last posted. Man I have been busy! I am still babysitting, taking care of grandma, helping with my aunt as much as I can, and trying to keep my sanity(which has been a little hard lately)! But, I thank God everyday for the time I get to spend with my family/friends!
On this note! It's hot out here in sod farm land, and frankly everywhere! Irrigating, irrigating, and more irrigating has what's been happening! The boys all need a break from the heat! But, as I sit here and type in my air conditioned house the boys drive by in a cloud of dust! We NEED rain! Rain makes corn, and corn makes whiskey~~UH oh um, ok! We leave next Friday for Branson! We are beyond ready(like since March). Swimming, go-karts, mini-golf, bumper boats, eating junk food, and yes I dare to say it a NAP!!! We aren't braving Silver Dollar City this trip because well Luke isn't old enough to remember it yet! If we get to go back in September we will probably go then(this is my excuse until then)! 2 of my friends and their children were there this week, and he puts it so well: he needs to invent a motorized cart of some sort to ride, and push the kids with! Those hills are killer!! LOL
I have so much to say but, stuff needs done!! Off to print a recipe for the perfect iced coffee according to The Pioneer Woman!! hehehehehe

We bought a pool!
Here lately I feel like saying we bought a zoo!! It's been crazy around here. After last weekend I am counting every blessing I have!! We bought a pool a little pool but a pool. When you live on a farm you have well water. Therefore you have to get water elsewhere for the pool. Also, the leveling of the ground is not going to be easy!! With that being said. I am still excited that I don't have to drive anywhere to go swimming!! And, the kiddos have a place to stay cool and be outside!! Having 2 children in the house has been fun, but tiring!!! There is extra messes, and so on!!
So, Saturday evening I get a call from my parents asking me where we all were all at. I knew something was wrong so I was very quick to tell her where we all were. If I haven't said we own some land on the river. About a mile down the pasture. So she proceeded to tell me there was a person that supposedly drowned in the river. She said that my brother is on his way home to put the airboat in the water and help them rescue the victim. So, I get my rubber boots on, and load Luke up on the 4-wheeler and we head to the barn. If anything we could open gates for the rescue teams to get down to the river. Ended up driving my brothers truck and he took the airboat down. After him and my dad got in the water he met the team half way and brought them back to river bank. The man was in his 40's and had been drinking(mixing alcohol and water doesn't mix well), and diving in waste deep water, and hit his head. I am sure he broke his neck. They did CPR, and pushed meds. I am confident in saying that was the only thing that kept him alive at that point. He wasn't good at all! I feel so sorry for his family. I hope he made it, but don't know his name, or where he was flown to to be able to check. And, the law enforcement and others aren't allowed to tell. The helicopter tried to land out here, but had some mechanical issues and had to leave. It's hard to see stuff like this, but the rescue teams were excellent!! I have been in the medical/law enforcement field since I was in high school. I have seen so much so I knew what to expect. Not saying it is easy to take at all. Well I needed to get that off my chest!! Have a great week!!!
