JUNE GOES OUT WITH A POOL PARTY FOR RL

A different Sunday morning today with no lunch to fix and not going to church. I got chores done and we had a leisurely breakfast. Then we went over to the Dollar General store to get some last minute items for IR's birthday party. Her actual birthday was on June 20th but with hubbie and I expecting to be out of town and her other grandparents also out of town her party got postponed until today.
Hubbie and I went over to daughter's and helped with the party preparations until lunchtime. Daughter did a great job on the Peppa Pig cake.

Hubbie and I came home and grabbed a quick lunch and loaded all the tables, canopys , coolers and other things for the party in hubbie's truck and head back over to daughter's to pick up the cake. I had to hold the cake in my lap because it was to big to fit anywhere else.

We got to the pool and waited for help to set up. 

Everything looked really good.

The kids really enjoyed the pool on this hot day.

IR was still in her mood to not get in the pool so this was as close as she got to the pool.

She did enjoy her cake and presents from her many family and friends that came to help her celebrate.

 This is the little ride on Minnie Mouse car hubbie and I got for her and she loved it.

It was a great party and everyone had a lot of fun.

We cleaned up and loaded up and went by daughter's to unload and help them get settled in before we came home.

We watched the news and there was a chance of some rain headed our way so we got chores done early. The rain didn't make it to our area so I worked in the yard pulling some grass out of the back walkway and then we relaxed for a while before dark.

June has been a hard month for my family with the heart problems for CA causing the month to begin with most of our time spent with her in the NICU unit at Mission hospital and 2 and 3 doctor appointments every week with little improvement so far.  

#2 son and Tif were married on the 24th in Glacier Park Montana and we were sad to miss that but feel we definitely made the right decision to stay home to help with CA and IR.

IR turned 2 years old on the 20th and we celebrated with her today in a delayed pool party.

Hubbie, Tif and Aa all also got a year older this month and we celebrated father's day.

We also celebrated with EL as she graduated from kindergarten.

The weather was cooler than normal on most days and we had quite a lot of rain this month that really spurred the garden produce along.

Praying that July brings some better news for CA than what the doctor's expect and we can settle back into a more normal lifestyle of just enjoying this newest member of our family and celebrating her health victories.

Thankful for the blessings of this day and for the joy of friends and family. Praying for CA that she is gaining some weight and her weigh in at the doctor is a good one tomorrow.

God Bless and Good Night.
