Pool finally ready to swim in




After 4 weeks of the pool being so cloudy we couldn't see below 1 foot, and many chemicals and visits to the pool store, we finally figured out what was wrong. The idiot who set it up, switched the hoses and was sending sand and debris back into the pool. We were finally able to enjoy it today. I wish I had gotten a picture of the girls actually in it.

The House



This summer has also been devoted to improving the house. Instead of a trip to Disney World, the girls opted for a swimming pool. Well ya know you cant just add a pool, you then have to make it inviting and comfortable. So Stephen and I, yes, Stephen and I!!!, (with a little help from Allison Little from the Help Desk of a major home improvement store I dont know if I can say the name of) built the 200+ square foot deck off the pool. I really have to say, I never thought we could do it, without at least 1 of us ending up in the morgue! LOL! I really learned alot and used quite a bit of math that I cant wait to share with my math students.

Our summer



Our summer has been the busiest ever. I thought I got into teaching partly because I would have my summers pretty easy. But as the girls get older we seem to find more stuff to do. Let's see - the summer started of with us going to Oklahoma City for the Women's College World Series. We got the best surprise when our Ags beat Florida to make it too the Championship game. Kudos to Coach Jo and the girls, especially Megan, for representing Texas A&M with class!
