We don't have much planned for the holiday weekend. We had a showing today, so we cleaned the little messes and mowed the yard. Otherwise, we have not done much!

Here is a picture of our new nephew, Wyatt and my mom, Dona.

This is an attempt to keep all of our friends and family up to date on what is going on in the busy lives of the Shimer Family! We are currently in the process of selling our home in hopes of purchasing a somewhat larger home closer to the kids school. Keep my house clean as we approach "no school" will be a feat in itself.

We don't have much planned for the summer other then both kids are swimming on the Cedar Park Typhoons Swim team. We have practices daily starting at 8am (what was I thinking you ask?) and meets..ugh..a grueling...6am Saturday's until Mid-July.

We have a new baby boy, Wyatt in our family! Rob and Erin had baby #2 a few weeks ago. So we will travel down to the coast to see them when they are eager for my loud family of 4!

We have season passes to Fiesta Texas/6 Flags..so I imagine we will travel to Dallas/San Antonio a few times to entertain ourselves!

OH! And of course..playing with our not so new dog...RANGER!

Thursday, May 25th.

It's been a tradition since kindergarten to take a "1st and last" day of school picture with our closest friend, Kristofer. It's hard to believe they will be in 3rd grade come August! They are great friends who love to be "wacky" together!

Summer 2006



Amazing that it is, but summer is here already! It sure seems like we were just scrambling to go to Disney World in November. We spent a great last day of school celebrating by eating pizza and swimming at the pool with 2 family friends. It was an insane 95+ and I forgot to reapply sunscreen after 2pm. Needless to say, we are all toasty red! Guess what?? Our public school friends want to go swimming to celebrate their last day today! Not sure what I will do? Lord nows, we DO NOT need sun!
So, here it is...6am on the FIRST full day of summer break...and I am up on the computer! No late morning sleep in for me!
