OK... I made it through the single mom week ok. Lee got home last night and commented on how extremly quiet Ohio was, as Tristan yelled at Chandler for looking at him wrong! Lee is taking the boys to a Bee's baseball game tonight and I think Ciera and I will hit a few more Parade of Homes. One thing that I am taking away from seeing all of the opulent homes, is that I am grateful I don't need stuff to make me happy or feel important. I look at these multi-million dollar homes and think "I am glad I do not have to maintain all of that stuff". I am just looking at all of the kitchens for idea for my kitchen. I take pictures of light switches, mop boards, gargbage disposal buttons,paint colors, flooring etc. Cheryl and I actually got lost in one house! Way too big.

Ciera gets home from girl's camp today!!! I can't wait to hear all about it. I will have her do a post about camp.

My Little Girl Off to Camp!

I fought back the tears as I dropped Ciera off this morning to go to girl's camp. I knew it was coming, and I am so happy for her......but man they grow up fast! She got her ears pierced for her birthday and started wearing makeup. I thought I was ready for all of this, but she is just breaking my heart.

Lee is in Dublin, Ohio for the week with work, so I am out a spouse and a babysitter. Life with three boys is hard with little backup. Chandler is helpful, but just not as capable as Ciera. I am taking the boys to the drive in movie tonight... we will see how that goes. I am actually hoping they all fall asleep before the first movie ends and I can come home early. Ha Ha... not very likely.

Ciera and her three cousins attended the Miley Cyrus/Blue Man Group concert at the Stadium of Fire at BYU for the 4th of July. We sat outside the stadium and watched the fireworks and waited for them to emerge from the crowd. Oddly enough, Ciera said that she liked the Blue Man Group better than Miley Cyrus! I guess she really is growing up!

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July.
