July in a nut shell

July has been a crazy busy month. It has been a month of baby blessings, trips to California, house working, Disneyland, and fun times. Yes there was work to be done, a classroom to set up, some art to be worked on - but July was a great month.

Zachary Owen Messmer's baby blessing. He is such a cute and happy baby. He looks a lot like his brother Brandon, and has the smile that can light up a room!




Will and I had his nephews here visiting and we had a blast. Andrew and Michael played a lot of video games with Will, ate a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches, played a full game of risk on the 4th of July, and just had a good time staying up late for a good week straight. (Getting back to chores and real life was hard - mowing the lawn vs. Mario Kart - there is no comparison.)

Will and I worked on the house. Well, to be honest Will did a great job working on the house doing "Man work" as he likes to call it. I can't wait to paint!


We went to Disneyland and boy that was a day to remember. It was the best trip to Disneyland we have ever had. We got there at 7am, did all the main rides by 10am, and then thought what to do? So we did things like walk around (slower than the morning rush) into all of the stores, did the slower rides, and bought the best book ever "Where are the hidden Mickey's? Yes, this is the ticket to the park! We searched, got special treatment in lines, and met Dave our new friend who made us "HONORARY DISNEY CITIZENS FOR THE DAY!" It was awesome we got pins and everything, plus he told us a huge secret but to find out you need to go talk to Dave and get a pin...
THE PIN


California was great! Being with Will and his family in Riverside was a blast and we miss them already.

THE FOLLOWING MIGHT BE TO GROSS TO LOOK AT - BE AWARE!

Today I woke up, went the the gym, came home and found Will in the living room looking perplexed. The tub won't drain. So I went in the bathroom and sure enough, it was clogged. I got down there and pulled the nasty stuff out, but still didn't change the problem. So I was getting ready to go get some liquid plumber when I heard the weirdest sounds ever coming from the tub. Yup you got it - black sick smelly stuff was shooting out of the tub. I screamed, Will yelled and we hand to call the plumber!
Nice guy...but he said he has not seen a case like this in 10 years! WOW!
(I didn't take pictures at the beginning, so these pictures are tame)

I just can't warm up to snakes, so I am glad there are others who like them: evidently pre-teen boys and six year old girls.
Thanks for the video. :)

July has been totally gonzo. Man work is great. Snakes are fascinating. Disneyland is better than ever. Nephews are fun times. That glove in the one picture is super gross (zoom in and check it out.)

Let's hope August is a bit more tame.
