Summer Happenings!

I forgot to mention in my previous post that Bill and I celebrated our anniversary on June 4th!

 

  TWENTY YEARS

 

 He knows me so well! He gave me a bunch of gift cards and cash so I can enjoy shopping this summer!

 

 

Ryan and I went to the zoo with my friend and her kids!  It was a beautiful day, until I received a phone call from my mom saying that my dad needed to go into the hopsital immediately.

He had a test done and the doctor called saying he needed to go to the hospital

because his heart rate was more than double what it should be!  So we

loaded up the car and headed back home to wait to see what

the plan was going to be.

 

 

 

A "simple" procedure of shocking his heart to try to get it back into sinus rhythm, took a turn for the worse, as he had difficulty waking from sedation - which was a sign that his heart was weaker than they had anticipated.  He was taken to CCU and ended up needing to stay for 4 days.

 

This is all he wanted - TO GO HOME!

A week later, my brother was working and attacked by a Pit Bull.  He needed 16 stitches!  Thankfully he was wearing a glove - because this could have been a lot worse without a glove on! 

 

 

Here's a picture of my parent's backyard.  My dad asked me to take some pictures while all the flowers are in bloom!

 

 

Ryan leaves for vacation with my brother, David this weekend!  Hoping they get good weather!

 

 

 

Winter Break......Finally!

TWO DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS! Here's what has been happening in the Sadler household!

 

Ryan received his Varsity Letter at the Football Awards Night.  The team also gave me a

gift for taking photos over the past four years.

I received a gift certificate to a local photographer.....to take OUR pictures!

 

 

My friend, Carolyn's daughter turned SIX!  She was having a Taylor Swift birthday party and Carolyn asked if I could make a special shirt to match the party theme.

This is what I came up with.  It started as just a plain white t-shirt.

 

Reilly LOVED it! Soooo Cute!!

 

I've been making some "fun" cookies for the holidays

Here are my "Nutter Butter" Reindeer cookies:

 

 

A white fudge dipped Oreo Snowman Cookies:

 

For the student gifts this year - I made these snowman Hershey bar wrappers:

(the larger snowman are pencils for the children with allergies)

 

 

I also made each student a pictures bookmark/ruler:

 

 

This year Ryan's ornament is a "drivers license".  He received his driver's license back in March.  Keeping with tradition, he receives an ornament that memorializes an accomplishment or

interest he had during the previous year.

 

Also, keeping with tradition, I wrapped and stored gifts at my brother's house.  These gifts are only gifts for school, friends, Mom, Dad, Brothers and their families.

THESE GIFTS DO NOT INCLUDE RYAN'S, BILL'S OR MY GIFTS

(those gifts are located in a separate location!)

BIG NEWS - My parents FINALLY closed on their new house two days ago! Movers come TOMORROW - YES CHRISTMAS EVE!  We've been there all weekend moving the smaller items and organizing the kitchen, hooking up the computer, cleaning. etc....... Bill's been painting..... Here's a sneak peek.....more pictures to follow!
