If you haven't yet noticed, I've been working on updating our website with a new hosting service.  Although I enjoy putting the pages together, I really know nothing about website building, domains, hosting...whatever!  It's all a big experiment to me.  What I do know is that now we don't have those annoying advertisements on our website so that's a plus!  You will now have to add the www to the front of our name to get to the site, here it is: http://www.andersonsoakcreekranch.com

The bad part is that in the move to the new hosting I lost all of the pictures that had been in my previous blog entries.  I've got most of them loaded to my photobucket account so if you want to see them, check out:  http://s162.photobucket.com/albums/t250/khoeschen/, I think that will work.

So, our weekend...What is it about summer that says every weekend must be jam-packed?  Whatever happened to lounging at the lake and being lazy?  Actually we got to do a little of that but it never seems relaxing with the kids around.  Oh well.  I was blessed to be able to spend the weekend with an old high-school friend and her family.  Nicole's little sister Kadie got married to an old swim team contact and we had a grand swim-union at the wedding dance.  The kids had a blast too, candy, dancing, glowing necklaces, yup, the whole bit!  Jack won over the heart of the flower girl, another family friend, and got his first kiss!  He gets really embarrased about it so be sure to tease him when you see him!

Sunday we got to lounge at the lake with Nicole's family, basically my second family, it was so nice to see them all again.  Afterward, Jack and Lily settled down with a nice juicy piece of watermelon, and then a bath!

Whew!  After a busy weekend, Jack and Lily enjoyed a bedtime snack of juicy watermelon

So, now back to another week, a short one, but a week nonetheless.  We're looking forward to the annual Fourth of July visit from my brother, Derek and his wife, Kim.  They need to get a break from the perfect San Diego weather every now and then.  Jack and Lily always look forward to seeing them.  They've been asking for the past two weeks, how many days...?  It will, of course, be another typical, busy summer weekend but we'll definately save some time for lounging and eating watermelon!
