Grandma's funeral

This last couple of weeks has been kinda rough for Jeremy and his family. His Grandma (his mom's mom) passed away after almost a week in intensive care. Jeremy was asked to play the piano at the memorial service, and during the conversation somehow volunteered me to sing a solo while he played the piano!!!! I love to sing and have done a lot of it in my life time, but I have NEVER sung a solo in my life, and was sooooo nervous! But I knew it would mean a lot to him if I did it! We had two days to practice, and he is amazing! He practiced every free minute he had and learned the song well enough to accompany me! I was so nervous! For some reason when I sing I get so nervous in front of people that my throat swells and I shake so bad my knee caps shake! Needless to say we prayed really hard that we would be able to perform the musical number, and not cause more pain in the process. And good news..... it worked! It went pretty well all things considered! Not that I would like to do it again, but my first experience definately wasn't as bad as I had imagined.
After the memorial service we went to Jeremy's uncles house and had a bbq and chatted with the family. It was a lot of fun, and I ejoyed getting to know more of Jeremy's family. Thanks for making me feel so welcome in your family!

4th of July

We had a great 4th of July! We started the day with breakfast with Grandpa Lehman. A yearly tradition. Then Jeremy, my dad and I all went four wheeling up to Old Ephraims grave. It was a blast, but there were a lot of people up there, and as you can see we were all eating each others dust! After that we went to Great Grand aunt Charlottes house for a party. Jeremy jumped in the pool, and splashed the rest of us standing outside the pool. We played frisbee golf which Jeremy won the mens prize and I won the womens prize! Horse shoes was another option. Then it was time for the bbq. After we ate everyone gathered for the waterballoon volleyball which eventually turned into a huge water fight that ended with the guys all throwing each other into the pool. Excluding Jason!!! For some reason they couldn't get him off the ground! I wish I had a picture! Then there was the red white and blue dessert contest.... and thanks to the jello cake strawberries and blueberrys, and everyone that voted for me, I won! And there was some stiff competition! Then to top off the night we lit legal fireworks, and watched the neighbors not so legal ones! We had a blast!

Softball

Jeremy's favorite summer sport is softball. He is on three different teams right now, two co-ed teams and one mens league! On the co-ed teams he is not allowed to hit home runs, which at times has been a struggle for him! It is really fun to watch him play. He would really like to get on a competitive team for the fall and maybe play in some all night softball competitions! Good luck babe...keep up the good playin! Love ya!
