Treasure Hunting, Julie's Birthday and Other Fun Stuff

Hey Y'all,

We've realy jumped into summer with a splash. Spencer and I have a little "business" going. We haven't got an official name yet, but we often call it garbage to gold or trash to treasure. Since you can toss anything, anytime, out for trash in our neighborhood, there is always something of "value" laying out there for someone willing to do a little clean-up and/or fix-up. Iff you look toward the bottom of my blog, you'll see my new lawn mower. It cost me about 4 hours and a $10 carborator rebuild kit. Today, we scored on a nice rake, some wire mesh that I will use for a project coming up and the three things with pictures below. It is our intent to eventually start selling our "treasures" on ebay and craig's list. So..., keep your eyes peeled for a good deal on some great stuff!

It was 98 degrees today, the perfect day for Julie's backyard pool party! Lots of pictures follow. We had relay races, balloon tosses, slip'n sliding, swinging, splashing, squirting and lots more. Pizza and ice cream cones were the main course for lunch. Everyone had a great time!

Aaron and Katie Hastings are here for a few days while their mom is at girls camp. Lucky Diana!!!
