Its been a crazy few weeks...lets catch up!!

Memorial Day weekend was a lot of fun! We went to Nevada, MO to celebrate a good friend of ours birthday. Then on Sunday we had a little shindig here with some friends. Blake had a BLAST both days! We have some AMAZING friends! I love BBQ's with good people!



Phil, Blake, Mike and Craig



He has great aim...LOL

June 2 was our first givingSOLO event! The gallery at 19 Below hosted its 2nd annual Childrens Art Exhibit and Auction (last year we were the recipients of the money raised). This year 100% of the proceeds are going to our organization givingSOLO! It was a huge sucess!! Blake's painting went for $100!! I love that his paintings are such a hot item! Last year it went for $100 too!! I think we might have ourselves an artist in the making!! lol If you havent already checked our website out go to http://www.givingsolo.org/!! You can learn all about us!!

Blake spent a lot of time in the pool this past weekend. I am so excited, since last year he wanted nothing to do with the pool. Well, he liked the big inground pools-but not his kiddy pool. He wants to be outside all the time, and of course in the pool. So looks like we will be spending our weekends in the driveway in the blow up pool, soaking up the sun and maybe I can read a few books!

Today was Blake's first day of camp. He loved it! I am so glad because he will be going 5 days a week for the next 4 weeks. lol They tie-dyed tshirts and ate snow cones. All while leftie was cast up-making him use righty. He didnt seem to mind at all. I LOVE all of his therapists. I will be honest and say I wasnt exactly looking forward to being up there 5 days a week, but I know how great it will benefit Blake, which totally makes it worth it.
