June and July photos

Hello everyone...

Here are some photos from the end of June and beginning of July.

We spent the 4th in Kimball with Jim's family. Anderson experienced his "first" 4th this year because last year we were driving down to Lincoln and missed out on all the fireworks. So Daddy helped him with his first sparkler...he seemed to like it ok. He never cried or mae a fuss when the big firecrackers were going off. He even fell asleep on Aunt Julie's lap during the show. So I guess the noise was not a factor.

Jim and I put in new cabinets in our kitchen and then put the old ones up in the garage. He is beginning to plan the bathroom remodel. We are hoping to have the "projects" done by the end of the summer. Jim also stays busy working at both his jobs and doing yard work. He also spends Wednesdays with Anderson and I....this last week we went to the children's zoo with Grammy Shirley.

As for me, I am still enjoying my summer with Anderson. I have also had time to read books...not textbooks! But the summer is winding down...I'll be sad to see summer end, sleeping in (when Andy let's me) and not having to study. I have started to prepare for school by purchasing school supplies and my textbooks.

Jim and I are taking a summer class together....Beginning Ballroom! We had our first class last week and learned some steps for the waltz and swing dances. We had a blast and we're looking forward to the weeks to come. It's held at the Pla Mor ballroom and we meet every Monday night. Jim wants to get matching outfits...like Dancing with the Stars....I guess we will have to get spray on tans too...

Take care, The Barretts
