So far, school has been going really well for Trevor and he has two boys that have become his best buddies. He really likes to go and sometimes gets upset when I pick him up!<\/p>\n

Brendan recovered from his cold and is doing well. I had bronchitis that is finally starting to go away.<\/p>\n

We have put a lot of focus lately on trying to finish old projects so we can move on with new things! If I could have back all of the money that I spent on art and craft supplies because I had some grand creative idea but then never saw it through…. well.. I could buy a pretty hot new camera at least. It is nice to go back and accomplish some of those things.<\/p>\n

On our road trip to Illinois in June, we picked up some whole geodes. Bill helped the boys crack them open!

There were some pretty crystal formations inside. The boys were excited.
\n\"54602\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They cleaned them up really well

We made some little shadowboxes with them to display on our bookshelves.

The boys were “helping” me sort my sewing and supply cabinets.

This weekend, we had a fun outing to Tucson. It was just less than two hours of driving, but we had an evening event, so we got a hotel.

Trevor has lost patience for my picture taking!
\n\"546bt07\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now he is happy

The HopeKids organization was invited to be VIP guests at a car race at Tucson Speedway.
\n\"546bt11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Trevor got to ride the firetruck around the pits.
\n\"546bt12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bill took the boys out on the track for a meet and greet with the drivers and to see all the cars.
\n\"546bt13\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"546b05\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They fed us pizza and pop
\n\"546bt14\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The boys enjoyed a couple of the events, but as it got dark, they were getting tired. We posed for some pictures on the way out.
\n\"546bt15\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"546bt16\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They were not too tired for a relaxing swim at the hotel!

Trevor would stay in the pool the entire day. He loves the water.

Trevor was especially excited that he was allowed in the hot tub. It is his favorite. We had to get up and visit the pool again this morning before check out time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
