I love summertime! The weather has started to cool down alot this week. No more 100 degree weather. We are down to 90 degrees! Such a relief! :)
I have been taking Dani and Mason to the pool everyday. It is so much fun! I must say I don't think I'll ever have another job where I get to go to the pool everyday! This is my last official week of keeping Mason :( Gonna be a very sad goodbye come July.
Don starts his vacation this Friday! So excited. Jeremy and Tab and clan are coming on Saturday. We are going to have so much fun! :) Don leaves on the 9th of July and heads to GA for 2 months. Not really happy he's leaving but he is only 9 hours away! Would much rather him go somewhere in the US where we can visit instead of Iraq/Afghan. Dani and I are starting to get excited about our vacation together. Dakotah is going to stay with his friend down the street and take care of Jinx.
I have 3 weeks left of summer courses. I'll be so happy when they end. 3 weeks of nothing til fall starts. I will not even think a moment about school for that 3 weeks! :)
Not sure what else is going on. The kids are being teenagers enjoying their summers. Dakotah comes home to eat and shower then heads back out again. Dani has friend after friend spending the night with her. Stay up late ... sleep late ... be bums! :) Love my teens!!!

Just another update ...
It was another week of busy and fun in Lusterville.
On Friday I took Mason, Lil Kota, and Dani to the pool. My friend, Angi, brought Winter and Chylena and Chy's friend. The kids all had so much fun. After 4 1/2 hours of pool fun Angi and I decided that we better go home and cook our kids dinner.
Saturday Jinx had his obedience class. He is doing quite well. I'm so proud of him! While in PetSmart I weighed him and he weighs 90.5 pounds at just 7 months old. WOW!!! When I have him in PetSmart people are always coming up to me and telling what a beautiful dog he is and asking how old he is or how much he weighs, etc etc etc. One guy walked up to me and told me that I should give him Jinx because Jinx was a man's dog not a girl's. I laughed and told him no way Jinx was mine! :) Jinx has 4 weeks left of training then he will graduate from the first level and move on to the second level in August. We are hoping to get him into service dog training. They have service/therapy dogs for depression so we are hoping to get Jinx trained for that and use him with Dani. We shall see what the future holds for our Jinx!
My friend, Angi, and I took her girls, Dani, Big Kotah, and Lil Kota to see Toy Story 3 Saturday evening. It was a great movie! We have been movie-aholics lately ... Alice in Wonderland has been my favorite so far. Shutter Island was confusing like the book so I didn't finish watching it. Dani watched Dear John and liked it, so not my type of movie. I would cry through the whole thing! From Paris with Love is good but of course I would say that because its a John Travolta movie! was another good one but there were so many things that were unrealistic in it! I must say falling from a plane in a tank was pretty cool! A-TeamToy Story 3 was absolutely awesome!!! Spy Next Door was cute. Edge of Darkness was good. Legion was great! These are the most recent. We are gonna go see Robin Hood tonight. There are so many more on the list of "Stacy must sees" ... love Red Box! It seems like good movies come out all at once then suddenly there are no good movies for a while. Lately has been good ones! :)
Don is good. Yesterday they had nerd day at our house and him and his friends played games all day until late at night. They had a great time. He has 2 weeks left before he gets a week of vacation then it's off to the big state of Georgia for 2 months. There are several friends of his going at the same time so it shouldn't be too boring! ;)
Today Don had a great Father's Day! We went to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch. :) We went to Barnes and Nobles for Don's Father's Day gift ... some new books in the series he's reading. The mall was fun and then on to Edward McKay's for Don's other series he's reading. Yeah my hubby loves to read! :) He's a sci-fi junkie!!! We came home for some quiet-time then we are gonna drop Lil Kota off to her Daddy and are gonna go to see Robin Hood. Can't ask for better Father's Day fun!
Dakotah spent last week with Stephen. He had alot of fun, as always. Not quite sure what he is doing this week but I'm sure it has alot of friends in the plans. He got a certificate for having a 3.0 - 3.5 grade average during his 9th grade, so proud of my baby!
Dani spent last week hanging out with friends and at the barn. This week I'm sure she will have a little barn time in the mix and alot of pool and friend time. She is getting excited about going on a Mommy/Dani vacation.
I'm good. I don't have much planned this week except hanging out at the pool with DaniKay and Mason. Got some school work to do but other than that I'm just waiting on next weekend when we can relax and do family stuff again! :)
2 weeks til Tab, Jeremy, and kids come for a week. I am getting excited! We always have a great time with them. Then 4 more weeks til Dani/Mommy vacation. Still waiting to see if we get tickets to the White House. Hoping so but if not we will still travel through DC and get lots of pictures! Getting very excited myself!!!

Summertime is here!
Summer is finally here!!!
The kids are finally out of school! I am probably the only mom excited that her kids are home. :) I love doing things with them and having them around, although they drive me nuts!
Dani was going to try to start going out to the barn more but they have changed the rules and you now have to sign up to go out. So since the barn has been out of the question this week she has been spending alot of time at the pool. Kid is getting tan!
Dakotah is trying to do a million things at one time this summer. He has so many things he wants to do. He is going to Stephen's til Saturday then probably will go back after Father's Day. Between all of Dakotah's friends he probably won't be home too much this summer. :)
I am getting excited about my vacation with Dani. It is going to be so much fun! We are trying to go through the White House on our way up to Pennsylvania. If we don't get tickets then we will just go through some of the other places nearby. After the Wash DC we are going to Pittsburgh to visit our awesome friend, Kira. I think we are taking Dani to the zoo. She is excited and will have so much fun with Kira. Once we are done there we are headed over to Indiana for a while then down to hopefully Alabama then to Georgia for Dani's birthday with Daddy. It will be a fun vacation for the two of us.
I am still going to school 4 nights a week. UGH Math! 5 1/2 weeks left! I am also taking another Early Childhood Ed class online. I am down to only babysitting my sweet sweet Mason! It is so much fun doing stuff with him. We sure will miss him when he moves.
We had a very busy weekend this past weekend. Friday we had Lil Kota's birthday party at the barn. I made her cake. It was fun and ended up really cute. The party was fun. We brought Mason with us to the barn and he had a great time, as always with Cerenity and Kota. Dani and Lil Kota went home with Hilary Friday night and spent the night. They had a great time! Saturday night we went to Hilary & fam's going away party. They are moving next week. Sunday Don and I took Dani out to lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings then to see A-Team, a great movie! Monday was the Army birthday so noone had to work and we had Mason's birthday party. I made his cake and it turned out great too! We had a great time. Spent too much time in the pool and everyone turned red but still had a great time.
Don is good too. He is just working working and working! :) He is looking forward to the first week of July when he takes vacation and his best friend and fam come down for a week. It is going to be so much fun, always is! Then he is going to Georgia for 2 months.
Well that's Lusterville this week ... Later all! :P

Another Day ...
All is well in Lusterville ...
I had a very long talk last night with an unexpected person last night and alot of fog is now gone. It is great when someone you least expect to talk to is there and tells you things that were missing in life. :)
Kids are good ... Doing Dakotah/Dani things but good. They have one more week of school left. So ready for summer vacation!
School is going good for me. All who know me know I hate math ... but math is coming along. 7 more weeks!!! My online course is going good. The ECE classes are always kinda easy for me. I am hoping to finish up my AA this time next year. Working hard and hopefully can finish up by then. Really really want to be done before Don deploys.
Mason is moving the 1st week of August :( I'm going to try and get back into substitute teaching. Application is almost complete. I just have to get a couple more things and get it turned in. With any luck I'll get to have a job I enjoy.
We have a full weekend ahead of us next week. Lil Kota's bday party, Hilary & Fam's going away party, Jinx's obedience class, Don's nerdery group, Mason's bday party, and hopefully some time at the lake! Never a dull moment in Lusterville on the weekends!!!
Summer plans:
Tab, Jeremy, and kids are coming to visit us the first week of July! So excited. We are gonna have so much fun!!! Don is leaving in July for a couple months. Dakotah is trying to go on another road trip to OK/TX. He had so much fun on his last trip! Dani and I are going on a Mommy/Dani vacation. Thinking of going through Wash DC and Pennsylvania on our way to Indiana. Hopefully we will make it to Illinois before we head back home. Gonna be gone for 3 weeks! So much fun!!!
Have a great week everyone!!!
