It's Sunday morning and Trey was not feeling good and I wasn't feeling so good either so we stayed home from church.  Lauren and Heather took Nancy's car to church and Jeff is gone with the National Guard.  I was watching BYU tv when I heard a very loud sound next to the upstairs window.. An Airplane flew very close to the window so I got my video camera and taped some of the airplane.  The airplane was crop-dusting next door.  He did this last year and I loved to watch it and thought he was going to fly into our neighbors house!  I didn't have enough space to put the video on here so I uploaded it to You Tube so you can watch it there if you would like to.

Jeff's job with FEMA ended recently.  He has a couple weeks work with the National Guard and then he will be looking for work again.  He will still be in the National Guard and will be working for them each month and will be able to go to some schools for them as well.  Heather will be going to girls camp this coming Tuesday.  We are short some automobiles right now so Lauren is not working currently, we have one car in the shop, so hopefully it will be fixed soon. I am still working as a dental assistant and will probably work there until I can go back to school or find another better paying job. The summer has been nice here in Alabama with lots of rain so that has been nice and cool.

Well I have been gardening this year and this year in Alabama it rained a lot so it has been good for my garden.  The hard work is paying off now I have lots of tomatoes and yellow squash and should have more vegetables to come.  The rabbits are Lauren's and Jeff built the cage for them.  The day I took this picture it was pretty hot and humid outside.  The hot weather is here in Alabama but I can't complain because it has really been mild and rainy most of the summer.  I love when it rains here! The only bad part is keeping up with the overgrown weeds too!

Well Jeff put up my birthday present today. I asked Jeff to put up a chandelier for my birthday and he kept putting it off so I'm glad he got it done today.  I helped him and it was kind of a pain to put up, he had to redo it a couple times.  I'm glad it's finally up.

We took a mini vacation today and went to Decatur, Alabama and went to the Bird Wildlife Refuge and it was the BEST weather today, perfect for an outing with the kids, Heather decided to stay home because she was too sleepy.  She can enjoy the pictures we took.

 They had a room with binoculars where you could watch the birds closely in the bird feeder.

 Telescopes to see the birds on the water.  We saw a lot of Canadian Geese on the water.

 Cypress Trees in a swamp area.

 A Red Hawk that was injured, so the Wildlife Refuge is taking care of him. 

I loved the nature trails and the sounds of the birds chirping loudly and the smell of honeysuckle.
