My longest post yet

I have wanted to blog so many times this past week, but haven't had the time. Some day the Lyons house will have a good computer at home and I will produce more blogs than imaginable. Ok, well maybe not that many, but definitely more than once a week.

Thursday night, June 4, 2009 was Jacob's last night to have a bottle. He had not had any during the day for awhile only at night. On Friday I just decided not to give him one and see how he did. Not having a bottle didn't phase him. He has always liked his sippy cups so the transition was smooth. However, my blogs at the end of the summer when we say "sayonara" to the paci may not be so upbeat. It is a little sad for him to be off the bottle and to know I no longer have a baby but a Toddler....AHHHHHH!

Last Saturday we went to the park for Roselyn's yearly work picnic. Can we say free BBQ? Not only can I say it I can eat it. After we ate we walked to the zoo with PawPaw and cousin Saige to see the animals. It was HOT! Most of the animals were snoozing in the shade. One of the female lions must be high strung like myself, because she was not resting like the others, but ready to pounce on cousin Drake's group of middle school friends. Jacob had a good time and crashed as soon as we got in the car.

PawPaw, Saige, Brancent and Jacob and a very sunny day

One of the girls that occasionally attended the deaf church passed away Wednesday. She would have been 20 on June 29th. She had health challenges her whole life and recently got cancer in her mouth and then her lungs. When she was born the doctors told her parents she would only live until she was 6 or 7. She is the oldest person to live with the syndrome she was born with. (I can't remember what it's called-Read the Tankersley's blog for more info) Her funeral is tomorrow so please be in prayer for her family. Her name is Breezy O'Dell Parents Mark and Cindy and big brother Shane and wife Stephanie.

One of the fun moments of my week, work wise, was our Summer Blast children's program at the deaf church. It will be every Tuesday during June and July. For the first one we had 16 kids which is a lot for us. It was a blast (hence the name)! So if you see me on a Tuesday evening and I look a little worn, you'll know why.

I have to brag on my nephew Super Simon Swopes. His baseball team has made it into the city tournament and they had there first game last night. The Rangers won 11-6 and Simon got the game ball for hitting a triple! YAY! Good job Simon! We are proud of you!

Have a great weekend everyone!
