Got to Love that Okie Weather

Hot, that is about as descriptive as it gets today. If we had a sail boat, we would have a lot of fun at Broken Bow lake today.

Jaque was thankful to get her window's tinted in her car. It looks "cool" I know, but it is also very helpful on those hot summer days when the leather really tends to soak up the sun. Eddie and Sassy are staying busy in the pond. Eddie knows that each day whoever gets home first will treat him to throwing his toy in, and the rest is just messy! He has learned to get out of the pond, shake well, and then bring his toy to Jaque. Funny how quick he picked up on that. Sassy, of course, is not going to get hot. So she just sits and watches. Finally, when she has seen enough, she will run down and wait on Eddie to come up out of the water, then she just bites his neck. Yep, renders him helpless. I think he likes the attention from her.

Chris has been working hard on his shut-down at work. That is the time of year that they bring the machines down and do maintenance on them. Uncle Toby and Bo are also hard at work there. Jaque and Haley have been running the roads together a lot. This week Jordan has been with them while Jaron is in science camp. I thought a lot about what kind of friends Jaque had before her accident, and how that relates to what she has after. You know the good friends are just that much better.

Jaque has been working hard on her bike. She has went as far as 11.84 miles on it. (that is in one hour.) It also keeps track of how much energy it takes her body to go the distance. And tracks the stem that it takes to aid the muscles to turn the "wheel" on the bike. So, it is a virtual brain. It is amazing that someone just sit around and thought this machine up.

We are gearing up this week to travel to Grandma Kay and Grandma Donna's next weekend. It has been a while since we have been over there, so we are all getting excited.

Well, last but not least - COURTNEY! You all became very close to her while Jaque was in the hospital. She is expecting a girl anyday. We do not have a baby yet, but as many of you may know, she has been at home and on bed rest for about three weeks. She goes to the doctor this afternoon. Please pray that he is ready to take the baby! We want this baby to come into this world on God's time. I want for all of you to pray for her health and that of the baby. Please also pray for Jadie and Jarrett as they are trying to be good and patient while mom has been on a strict "no playing" diet. Courtney, we all love you and think the world of you. God knew what he was doing when he chose for you to be a mom to another one of his children. You are a great person. We love you so much! And I know that this is from ALL OF THE JAQUE HALL FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I will let you all know ASAP when she finally has that baby!!!!!

Thank God for the mom's in my life. I love them all dearly.
