WOW, can you say wild summer?? Before summer starts I always wonder what we could possibly do to fill it up! Well, I have found out that things take care of themselves. We attended a Berrett Family Reunion over the 4th of July. We all headed up to the parents house for a fun weekend. Can I say that the blowup water slide is a great investment? It isn't mine, but I sure wish it was.
Earlier in June we went to Hill Air Force Base during Air force Week. We were able to so see all sorts of cool planes, helicopters and bombers. We were even lucky enough to see the Thunder birds. It was a great day, even though we did get a little sunburned!OK, sometimes I do things that make me feel really old, almost like I am old enough to be a "real mom". We made our decision on what to plant in our garden then we made our way to the store to buy our seeds. We decided this year we wanted to try to make pickles. Well, after some major weeding (thanks Trevor & Amy) to find the cucumber plants, there were quite a few there that needed to be picked. We picked them, scrubbed them, cut those bad boys up and put them in some jars. I couldn't have done this if Celia, who is the neighbor who grows everything, hadn't given me some of her home grown dill. Well, I poured my ingredients together and presto chango, my cucumbers were now pickles. Surprisingly simple!!!
My birthday was July 7th, and I love ice cream cake. So, Paul was nice enough to buy one for me. I just remember, there is still a piece in the freezer, I better go eat it.
I know this is a real random picture, but I love kids hair when they wake up in the morning. Well, it looks like it took Buster all night to get this cool spiky hair do. I don't think all the hair gel in the world could have recreated this look.
We went to a Bee's game. It was great fun, I'm not sure what the score was, but we had a great time. Also, we attended a RSL soccer game at Rio Tinto Stadium last week, and I was great FUN. I am pretty sure we will attend another game real soon.
We put Buster in soccer this year. Let's just say I wanted to pull my hair out every game. it is like the theme was "to play or not to play" and they would decide every 5 minutes or so. Kids would randomly go sit with their parents, while they were in the middle of the game, or they would lay down on the floor or just plain start crying for no reason. We will see if we decide to do this again next year.

Love the hair-do that took all night to do. Good thing he didn't have a black and white stripped jumper on or he might look like he's a jail bird.....just statin' the facts.
