Summer has arrived....

Summer is here! Our week started with a wonderful fishing trip on Sunday! We all got sunburns and a few fish. Mocha even got to go....I'm not sure if she enjoyed it but she didn't leave my side for a second...

John started putting the basement back together and Derek gave his drill a work out! He is such a great helper.....John wouldn't know what to do without his right-hand man!

While the guys were busy working on the house.....Emily and I went and got a manicure and a pedicure...

Thursday morning we all woke up around 4am to a horrible storm.....we escaped with only a few limbs and a few things blown across the yard.....Mom had a Maple tree down in her backyard....Sharayah and Andy on the other hand, had a huge tree fall down in their front yard....there were two cars in the drive (one was Johns') and the tree fell between them! I couldn't believe it....the top of the tree fell on the neighbors house....This is the neighbors house.....Thankfully no one was hurt and her landlord has already removed the tree....it also knocked down a power line which is still laying in her driveway....so they are camping out here at my house until their power is restored.....The kids were up early in the wee hours of the morning and when the weather finally died down they actually crashed! We were talking and had the TV on and they didn't budge...

Later on that morning, we took Sheri to Hannibal, Mo to take care of some business...here are a few pics of our "road trip"..

Temperatures soared after the storm and reached into the 90's with heat index over 100*......The high temperatures made clean up from the storm almost unbearable! Well that's all for now.....
