In the need of an update

Okay, Okay, yes, I know it has been a really long time since I have updated this silly thing. I read all of your blogs, and sometimes make comments, but I just can't seem to find enough time in the day to update ours. Well, here goes. I will just tell you, and then download some pics.
The second weekend in June, (the weekend I decided to stop nursing) we were camping at Humptulips, WA. It is the same reunion year after year, but we go and have a good time. For you Twilight fans, it is about an hour from FORKS, and I guess that town is pretty neat stuff after the books and movie were such a hit. Here's a little plug for that movie. A lot of the movie was filmed right here in St. Helens, and we went and found all the spots, esp Bella's house. It is not too far from our house. Of course, you can't go inside, bc it is someones house, but if you want to drive by, just let us know, and we can be your personal tour guide.
The weekend after we went camping, Nick, Lucy and I boarded an airplane and flew back east to Missouri. My 10 year high school reunion. When I was telling people what we were doing, they thought it was silly, but if you knew me in hs and you knew my class, you would totally understand. Even Nick had slight hesitations on going, but he ended up having a great time. It was fun going back and seeing how much the town had grown. We got to take a tour of the new hs, so jealous, and just had a such an awesome time. My group of friends are all happy and successful, and it was like ten years had never passed. We laughed and joked, told stories, and gave advice. I loved to watch their faces and we would remember things, and how much fun we had "back in the day!" I am looking forward to our 15 year in VEGAS!!
We have had something going every weekend since summer started. If it is not camping, or flying or going to yet another wedding, our lives are super busy. Thankfully, we only have one wedding, (two if I am lucky) to go to in August. AAAHHH just breathe.
My mom and sister were out two weekends ago for a cousins wedding. I love when my mom comes. She rocks!! Lucy is growing like a weed. Here check up is on Fri. so maybe I will update then too. Let's see, oh yes the 4th. We took it easy. We had friends over on Fri, and then Sat is was just us. I LOVE IT WHEN IT IS JUST US!!! We drove all the way to SONIC (45min) for slushies on the 4th, and when we got there, the machine was broken. NOT COOL. We had a great bbq (always with Nick) and then went down to the water for fireworks.
St. Helens puts on a great show, and better yet, we are home in ten minutes. I have decided that is now called Independence Day, because all we saw were overweight, big chested women running around in tight tank tops with no bras. Yes, hows that for a visual. Gotta love warm summer days, and nights. Sorry guys, no pictures of that. Maybe next year. Okay, I think that about catches us up. Next stop.........photos
