August 2015 Fun!

Owen's 6th birthday was August 6th.  I had so much fun 
spending a day out with him!!  
We had lunch at In-N-Out ... his choice :)
Owen loves watching the mechanics of elevators!
We watched for hours!
This is what he picked out for his Birthday gift!  
He had it put together by the time I got home :)
I sure love this guy and love having time
alone with him!!!  
We all went to the Aquarium at the Mills Mall!
What a fun day... a homeschool class and then
seeing all the amazing sea creatures!
 Sister Carrie and friend Gary came to visit!  It was short and sweet but
they got to visit the Nelson's and the McInturff's!
Special Auntie!!!
This was a crazy project...
During August and September - probably the hottest 
months of the year, James and I decided to tear down
the 2 ft wall surrounding the back patio that was falling apart!!!
Then scraped, cleaned, leveled concrete, bought 400 sq ft of
slate tile and worked like crazy - in the heat!!!
 I had never done this before...but figured it out!!
It isn't perfect by far but it's done and 
IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!! 
 I am sooo happy to spend many mornings and
evenings in this peaceful spot!!!
My friend calls it "Sandy's Sanctuary"!
I love to have friends come and join me!!!
