The Dog Days of Summer

Ya'll, it's HOT! Gator even says so!


We've been inside a lot lately doing girlie things...

Although, we never mind getting out for the riding lessons...

These are the guys you hear in the background...this little guy is tiny and so cute, but he's mean - he chases you if you're not careful!

this guy is loud and not the prettiest guy on the block either - I'm just sayin'...

we have one of these at our Shouse stables...

Now, to the pool - this is what it seems as though it has looked like forever -

they came and poured the concrete decking last Friday and they did a horrible job - Jack argued with the contractor and so they are going to spray-deck it for free. Hopefully, it will look better than this!

Today, they came and cleaned everything up...here's Grace on the sun deck portion -

they sucked out the bottom and cleaned it out nicely...

here's the whole shabang - now it was just sunstone coated and spray decked and FULL of water, we would be in great shape! Keep your fingers crossed...this has been a very frustrating process! Last week, the guy putting the electricity to our pool lights broke our water line and in the middle of the night the part he fixed blew out- a 1 AM shower - that was fun! Oh well...

Grace and I have been practicing our rain dance (yep...that's her playing in the background that you hear) and it looked something like this...it's just that our cute guy to dance with was at work :(

...but it looks like it worked...this is outside our stairwell window and we hear the rumbles of thunder...now, we just hope that it doesn't flood, as it seems it's "feast or famine" when it comes to the weather lately...

Happy sprinkles to you all - 'til next time!
