June was spent with weeding and some fishing trips.  Which is always a Joy!
July... Ronny came for a visit with Kai and Jaiden...We tried to have something to do every day.... Jen and her family came up for a visit over the 4th so 3 of our kids were here.... We spent one day on the water which is always a good time..
Course we took in the 4th of July Parade..... With a picnic afterwards.  Always a Good time.
Had a Hard time finding a place to watch the fireworks... so ended up on top of the Hospital with Helen's pass... Couldn't see the Low ones but still enjoy the show.  and we didn't have the crowd to deal with!
Ronny also made a Quilt while he was Home... We finished the blocks and got them sewn together... He just had to finish the border... Nice Job Ronny... COURSE he still needs to quilt or tie the top!...
Aug.... Hailey decided to come early.....
Aug 1 2013  Hailey was born weighting in at 2 lbs 8 ozs   15 inches Long... Just a Little bundle of JOY.....BUT after 2 days they decided that she might need Heart Surgery..... WHICH being so small they had no doctor to do it.... SO They flew the Whole family to San Diego....
After talking with Bob I decided I wasn't going to stay home .... so we packed a Suit case and headed to San Diego... Took us Two  Days to get there...
I Know we were watch over on that trip... we had some close calls but made it safe and sound....
Hailey is Beautiful..... Just very tiny!..
What a Joy it was to be able to see her... and to hold her...
Hailey was blessed.... her heart began working like it should... No surgery was needed.... 3 weeks later they were heading HOME...
Took us 3 days getting Home.... was very hard to drive away..... and LONGER to get thru LA..  Traffic was backed up.... I could Never live there....Was very WEIRD to drive right by Disneyland and Not STOP!.... We had to be home Sunday night.....
We got home at 7 30 pm.... washed our clothes, loaded our 5th Wheel and left Monday morning at 6 am heading to Girls Camp.  We were the Cook Helpers.... cooking for 265 young women and leaders....
We were up by 6 and in bed by 9pm  Very LONG DAYS.... I was Never so glad when our time was up....
After being on my legs ALL Day  we had a Hill to climb to get back to our trailer... THAT was very Hard on me...
Ron had a talk with the gal over the camp... and they gave us a Golf Cart to USE... awesome!!!
One night we were late getting out .... so it was Pitch BLACK out... Did you know they don't have lights on a CART??
That was one Hairy RIDE.... Finally a car came up behind us and  we were able to see  We live to cook another DAY!
