One of about 6 hummingbirds that are constantly flitting around...so cute!
We just got back from a very short :-( trip to Brad's Granny and Papa's in Republic. It was a wonderful trip and super relaxing I just wish we could have stayed longer. The weather was decent and it's so quiet and pretty up there.  I got to sit and talk a lot to Granny and watch the hummingbirds flutter around the feeder and watch the squirrel taunt the cats from up in the tree.  We saw a few deer while on the porch and 2 while riding four wheelers. 

Looking north towards Canada from their front porch...the furthest mountain you see is in Canada. They are 16 miles from the Canadian border.
They really love riding the four wheelers!

I can't believe Cameron starts school in 3 weeks...OMG!  And he should be starting soccer practice in the next week or so and then with me starting orientation and 12hr training shifts (not sure how many days in a row yet but know that for training it will me noon to 12:30am shifts) it's going to be hectic for the next few weeks. But I am really excited for Cameron to start soccer and so is he.  Now I just have to stop procrastinating and go get him his gear. LOL  His Grammy Lynda took him school supply shopping so he is all set with that but we still have to go school clothes shopping which I am not looking forward to because he is very squirmy and loves to goof off in front of the mirror so getting him to go in to the dressing room and come out in a timely fashion is very hard and I usually end up getting very frustrated and so does he and it usually turns out to be a not very fun shopping experience for either one of us.  I have been trying to psych myself up for it and tell myself that he's a year older and so am I but he is still so wiggly and still gets so goofy in front of mirrors that I am still procrastinating the school clothes shopping trip but I know I have to go because he has grown out of all his clothes.  Alas I will eventually get to the store....and I am pretty sure it's gonna have to be this week because the next two weeks might be way too crazy. :-)  Although if anyone wants to take on the task of taking a vain almost 7 yr old boy clothes shopping please let me know I will gladly let you... LOL

Please pray that I find my patience somewhere between home and the store because I could really use a huge load of it when we go. :-)
