Feeling Spoiled...

Summer at it's Sweetest...

Our wood lines are loaded with sweet red raspberries right now! The kids never give them much time to get really ripe because they cruise the trails daily picking these yummy berries!...:) Jordan likes to bring in enough for smoothies but most times they eat to many before they reach the kitchen that the smoothie has to be made with freezer berries...:)

This is how they carted me around today!...:) They have me feeling "Spoiled"... They cart me around and bring me my crutches. (these things are making my underarms sore! :( )

The golf cart has been a blast around here since we got it! It goes off and on all day! Javon is still happy as ever to be driving it properly but Jenika gets a bit bored and she keeps coming up with more exciting stuff like this...! Javon has yet to ride the bike...:) He would rather just drive her...:)

 

 

We had a good day... We went to church which is always refreshing. Then we were just lazy around home. The kids don't seem to know what to make out of having me sit so much! They seem bored and have a harder time getting started. I keep getting hugs and kisses from Jen like she feels real bad for me. I think she thinks since my foot is wrapped and I sit so much that I must be in pain to...:) I keep telling her it doesn't hurt unless I walk on it but she still pities me tons...:)

I'm thankful this is a slower time of year for us! I don't have a real busy July and we have been enjoying it so far. We have a fun getaway coming up with extended Dienner family in July yet. August looks busy with hosting again.. I'm hoping to be on my feet soon!!

Running!! I miss it!! It has been three days and I'm starting to feel it! I don't even get hungry and my calorie intake has been cut in half! Running is the reason I want to heal this properly! I'm afraid if I don't take care of this I will regret it!

We missed the man of the house so much on this lovely weekend!! It seems strange to have campfires going without him and especially now that I'm sitting so much more...! We look forward to having you back Hon!! Enjoy Belize for us to!!... This was sent from him today... Looks like it was taken out of a window...

He said he is keeping very busy and he loves his great group of friends that he is with these few days in Belize. Education is a huge part of this guys life these days and being with this group of friends is highly educational for him! He is in his "Happy Place" I have no doubt!

As for me I will try to be patient as I heal... I'm thankful for a good book... "Unbroken" An Olympian Runner that went off to war in Japan and became a POW.  It's a bit heavy at times but I can handle it. I did see they are making a movie of this guys story as well, coming out in December... That I'm not sure I will handle as well as just reading it!? It's unreal what this man endured as a POW!!



hoping my foot heals overnight!!

Because of my nap and a late in the day cup of coffee I might just be finishing this book tonight yet...

If I have to sit all week this week we might just be having one big party in the sun!...:) I'm trying to figure out how I could get my flowerbeds hoed ... Wonder if I would get a good workout doing it on my knees??...:) It's okay it will wait a bit yet!...  I'm so thankful for my big boys!! They are cleaning up the kitchen real good and taking total charge of things around here for me!! They are the best caretakers ever! Dave leaves but I'm so not alone... Thanks Justin and Jordan!!

Jordan is eating so well these days!! He don't eat often but when he does it's a feast! With smoothies for dessert! The blender goes OFTEN! He grilled an AMAZING steak today!! He adds shrimp to his chopped up steak, adds veggies then eats it on a bed of greens!! We were all eating at his lunch today! He chops onions until he is literally crying!! He gets them straight out of the garden and they are the strong ones! He eats about four or five onions a day along with lots of fresh garlic! Onions, garlic and salt is how he flavors up his food. He has the house smelling amazing along with the occasional blare of the house "surround sound" smoke detectors!! Running from the stove top to the garden to the grill has this guy scrambling sometimes but he amazes me over and over again with his great dishes he creates!!

I just got to have the food here and then he cooks up a storm...:) I got to ride the handicap carty thingy at the grocery store yesterday! First time for everything!...:) I sure am feeling lazy and I know this life style won't be good for me so I'm praying for a speedy recovery.... I'm still feeling so BLESSED and so SPOILED!! (by my precious kiddo's) #lovethemtons!!

Have a BLESSED Night!
