Crazy Summer

Why hello, long lost blogging buddies!

It has been a crazy summer with the Ewells. Here is a quick recap.

May-
Both boys finished school. They were super excited!
June-
Both boys bored from nothing to do! LOL
July-
Boys are counting down the days to school!

There's my crazy update.... Hope you all enjoyed it, LOL

I am Alive

First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me

Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive

It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
Now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
still in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me

Super Proud Mommy

Today is such a bitter sweet day!

Eastyn had his last day in Intermediate School and Cadyn had his last day in Elementary School. There are no words to describe of how proud I am of them but I am also sad..

I am sad that they are growing up so fast. It seems like yesterday they were 3 & 4. Where has all the time gone????

Muchas Gracias Monday

Muchas Gracias Monday (Thanks Kim)

On this wonderful, yet not as wonderful as Saturday, Monday- Here are the things that I am thankful for....

*My sister Jamie. Thank you for making our life safer out on the streets! It takes courage to be a police officer, and you my dear have got it!!!!

*Work. Even though sometimes I don't want to go, I appreciate you being there.

*My boys who are crazy busy, loud, dirty, and just plain weird! I LOVE YOU!!!! I don't know what I would do without you.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Our Family

The most amazing picture EVER!!!!

Well, we have been so busy lately in this Ewell Household. As most of you know, we went to Mexico again in April. We took the kids, and it was AMAZING!!!! We also have been doing baseball practices, games and still dealing with school, homework & all the other duties that we all have to do! Needless to say, it is EXHAUSTING, but a blessing at the same time.

The boys are doing good. They are getting excited that school is almost out for the summer. It is hard to believe that Eastyn is going to be in 8th grade and Cadyn 6th.... Where has the time gone?

Gareth is still hard at work at SunRoc. He just received another promotion!!!! I know, 3 promotions in a year, I think they might just like him ;)

I am still at the theatres, they keep me busy as always. We are now into our busy time, so I have long days, but at least I have an understanding family (well, for the most part).

I promise that I will try to update more often....

Quick Update

I know, I know... I have been such a slacker! I hate that I am so busy that I can't even update my blog. I really need to just slow down and take a breather.

A lot of things have been happening in our little family. Gareth is crazy busy in Mesquite. They are working on some sort of bridge that keeps him ornery and busy! I am staying busy at the theatres. We are now getting ready for our busy season, so I am going through applications and trying to get people trained before than. The boys, well they keep me busy all in themselves. Between school, band, choir, and homework. Now they are throwing in baseball to the mixture. They have tryouts next week, and the games will start at the end of the month. Oh, and did I mention that they just got done taking the hunter safety course? I am glad to announce that they passed that with flying colors, lol...

On another note, we got to see my dad this week. I can not even tell you how happy that it makes me when I get to see him. I miss him every day, and don't know what I would do without him. So, if you are reading this dad.... I LOVE YOU!!!!
