Busy,Busy,Busy!

This sums up my life lately! We have been on the go for the last few weeks..today Annellise and I slept until 11:30..(I did wake up earlier but laid back down with her) she has been so tired and fussy lately..Im sure its because we havent gotten in the bed before 10:30 all week..We have had Bible School and it has really been fun! Im not much of a teacher and in fact asked not to be one but I was and I really enjoyed it...Bert,Kyle, Allison, and I were all teachers (tribe leaders) and I just loved our little group..we had kids from 2nd to 6th grade and they are just wonderful kids..it jut makes me so happy when their mom tells us that they couldnt wait to come see us at Bible School each night. Tonight or this afternoon is God and Country Day at the church..we set up our tent last night and we are going when Bert gets off work this afternnon. We st up chairs and some people bring grills and cook..its going to be so much fun because our Sunday School class all set up our tents together so we will all be around each other, Lots of Fun! Anyway, they have big jumping things for the kids and a water slide, at 6 the kids choir puts on a program, the adult choir sings, the kids sing the songs we learned at VBS,our preacher says a little something ( I LOVE him!--he is I think my favorite preacher I have ever had!), and then the band 33 Miles is putting on a concert, then FIREWORKS!!! so we are really excited about this afternoon.....
Thank goodness we have NO plans for tommorrow, my plan is to spend the afternoon by the pool with my children or we might go see Nannie if it rains..she is going to a Nursing Home..it just breaks my heart, but she just cant walk by herself anymore since she fell a few months ago and mom and dad just cant do it anymore by themselves..it breaks my heart but they just dont have a choice! In some ways, I think Nannie will really enjoy being with other people because if she was at home she would just be in her room all by herself all day and that just makes me sad..At the nursing home some of her friends are there and she will get to spend time and have some "fun"...
Back to our crazy world, we are still doing baseball...Harper had a tournament 2 wks ago and it was so HOT! as I said in the picture, we all passed the stomach virus around and she was recovering from it and had to go to the game..I did make her lay down alot and stay in front of the fan...but bless her heart she was miserable! Our next tournament is the 18 and 19 .....My friend Kay and I took the kids to Yogi Bear Park last Tuesday, it was a lot of fun...Harper got bored and was ready to go after a few hours..It is really geared to more Annellise's age and younger but it is neat knowing that something like that is this close...We are planning on renting a cabin in the fall...they have lots of stuff planned for the kids...
Bert and I are just getting older by the day Ha! Bert has shingles and he was pretty miserable for a few days..it is still all on his back but the itching and pain is better...the dr. said it is caused by stress and with his new position and the opening of the new Miskelly store he has been pretty STRESSED OUT! My hip has been bothering me a lot and I am trying to decide if I need to go to the dr. because its not getting better..I was hoping it was a muscle but I am starting to think that its not because Im not feeling better..anyway the Bell family is "falling apart"---I have been trying my best to keep the kids away from Bert because shingles is a form of the chicken pox and since they havent had it they could get it from Bert's shingles----they did have the "chicken pox" shot when they were 1 so lets just pray that it really works!
Our dog Molly got "fixed" last week in order to calm her down but it hasnt really worked...ha.....she is still crazy and wild as ever! I think I have covered what has happened lately....I wil post pics of the July 4th celebration and VBS later...have a Great July 4th!
