It's about time huh?

I haven’t written in my journal in so long! There is so much to talk about. I have been spending my summer babysitting and going to the beach!

We went camping for 10 days and had so much fun. It was Jeff and I, Pam and Mike, Sue, Steve and Brad. Brian and Kaitlyn were there a couple days and so where Chris and Erin with the kids.  It was so relaxing and refreshing.  We rode our bikes everyday to see the sunset on Lake Michigan.  We ate until we couldn’t eat anymore. And we played jokes on each other because it’s a camping tradition.  Last Christmas, Jeff kidnapped two of Pam’s turtles off of her porch. We took pictures of the turtles doing random stuff with us and then while we were camping we gave them the turtles back with a photo album of their adventures with us…it was so funny. Pam and Mike played all kinds of jokes on everyone.  Jeff always says how he has a black cloud following him around so they made a giant black cloud and hung it at out campsite. It was so funny. The black cloud ended up following us camping because our brand new EZ up canopy collapsed in a rain storm and broke! Oh and it fell on Jeff’s brand new chair and bent it up. I was so pissed off! I got over it though but it did take me an entire day of griping about it.  Another joke that they played on me was so funny! I will NOT touch a ketchup bottle in a restaurant it totally grosses me out! Well, Pam and Mike made me my own ketchup bottle to use when we go out to eat. It has and industrial glove glued to it..Hee hee. There is a picture above..

We ate so much while we camping. Sue was the master chef. She loves to cook when we go camping.  We had king crab leg night and it was so yummy!  We had such a great time.  I can’t wait to go again.

I had my oncology check up yesterday and everything is going great. He said that there are still no signs of cancer activity. I have to go have a mammogram next week. I have to go every six months so it’s time I guess. But he is certain that everything is good. I feel fantastic. I am back to my old self and now that the thyroid medication has kicked in I have a lot more energy.  This month it will be 2 years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer.  I can't believe it!

Baby Jeffrey is doing so good. He is saying a lot of words and it is so cute. I really have to watch my mouth though because he repeats everything if you know what I mean. I spend most days hanging out with him taking him swimming in his little pool. Or just swinging on the backyard swing. Today the tree trimmers were outside cutting some dead branches out of our tree and he spent 2 hours looking out the window watching them. He is just too cute!!

I have so much more to say so I will have to do another entry soon.

I have to go get some sleep I have to watch Jeffrey in the morning and it’s getting really late.

I hope everyone likes the pictures!!!
