I honestly KNOW where it went. It went preparing for Graduation, Graduation party, end of school year. I wasn’t as stressed as I thought I’d be and happened to make it without any heart mishaps.
My goal this summer is to have a stress-free summer and spend some time with the kids and do some projects that have been sorely neglected. You know those type of projects, cleaning out closets, purging and donating.
Rich has finally gotten some over-time and we are so thankful. There was such a dry spell there for a while, but God was faithful.
I FINALLY changed my graphics here. It was a long time coming. I am so rusty at doing things like this though. Soon enough it will be time for school and I’ll be putting up fall graphics. Wait….that is just scary to think it will be here that quick.
We have been working on our backyard and only have left the grass to put down. Other than that, here are some pictures.
BEFORE and AFTER (Click on the pictures to enlarge)
Hope you all have a great week!

Well, I was thinking about my blog this morning and the name I chose for it. Humm….watered gardens! Well, it occurred to me that I haven’t really watered this garden very much with posts and the whole reason I set up this blog was so that I can reflect back on what God has done in my life. Sometimes I wished that I was faithful enough to physically write it all down in a REAL journal, but the fact of the matter is, my thoughts go way faster than I can write, so I choose to type it all out.
This week (as usual for this time of year) was extra busy. I have one more full week of school, then the next week I’m taking my class to Knottsberry Farm for a year-end field trip. I was very hesitant at first thinking I wouldn’t have enough drivers and now I have more than enough. I do not like traveling that far for a year end party, but they did NOT want to go to Knots Soak City.
The following week I will have off to get my back yard in order so that we can have Zach’s Grad party the week after. We really need to get our pool re-plastered, but I’m afraid it’s going to cost in the THOUSANDS and Rich doesn’t want to take a loan out. So, it looks like we’ll have to save for it. We don’t want to take all of our savings out either. It’s so hard to save for big purchases! UGH! Just the thought! But it needs to be done that’s for sure.
Rich is working today. Nothing new really except for the fact it’s overtime and that eases the pain a little. HA HA! The boys are going to the Devil’s punchbowl to swim. I don’t know why it’s called that. That leaves Olivia and I and we’re thinking of going shopping. Yes, shopping, that makes everything better! *grin* I do however really want to thank our service men and women today that have served our country that fought for the freedom our country has today! WAY TO GO MILITARY! YOU ROCK!
I hope everyone has a really awesome day! It’s beautiful here in Southern Cali!
Hugs,

I have so much to do that I cannot wrap my head around it. With Zachary graduating this year and all of my year-end hoopla at school, it’s a bit overwhelming and it takes a LOT to get me overwhelmed! I started a to-do list and I’ve never quite had one like that. Why does it seem everything comes at once? Is that so we’re tested? I don’t know, but it sure feels like it.
I had a VERY quite birthday at the ice skating rink. Yep, that’s right, that is where I spent my evening. Rich had to work, so he promised to make it up to me. He keeps telling me that my present is on it’s way, but I haven’t seen it yet.
Olivia’s ice skating competition is this Saturday. I’m really proud of her. I’ll post a picture of her after the competition.
I can’t believe Zach is graduating this year. I don’t feel old, but there’s something about KNOWING you have a son that is graduating that makes you think you are years older than it seems. I managed to make his graduation announcements today. I feel so behind, but with him changing schools, I found out last week that they had not gotten ANY information to me regarding the graduation. C’MON PEOPLE! I had to hunt down information, fill out forms at the last minute, and call and make sure it’s not too late for certain things. When Cameron graduates, I will be a pro at it.
Zach, we just want you to know how proud of you we really are. You’ve become quite the young man. Your Dad and I’s prayer for you is that you will be a strong man of God, that you will keep your eyes fixed on Him, and succeed in life at what you want to be. We are here to support you as you travel down a new path of experiences, challenges, and growth. CONGRATULATIONS ZACH!
Welp, homeschooling is coming along and I must pay bills. I don’t know why, but I love paying bills. I need to check my laundry. How come I forget to do that? LOL
Have a great Monday all!
Hugs,
Kacy
