Birthday Party

It was a great one I had a bunch of my neices and nephews and neighbor kids. Lots of food, swimming and volleyball. For some reason alot of my picts didn't turn out. As an added bonus my nephew Kohbey whom I've not seen in 2 years came too. Then Dan & I went on a long motorcycle ride. It was a great day.

Decisions

This is the wonderful boy Nick I worked with from January on for the school year. Now with the upcoming school year I have to decide if I want to apply for the position full time. He is a great kid. But the plus to substituting is if Mom or Dad need me or the boys I just don't work. It came in handy when Mom was so sick in December then again when Dad had his heart attack. Not to mention all the medical woes of my boys in the last 6 mos. I just can't decide.

Surprises

Well Darcy's had her 104th kitty this morning. It's driving Anna nuts! She just wants to see the kitty. Of all places she chose to have the baby on the couch. Yeah I'm still trying to contain my excitement. The neighbor kid shot out my globe, couldn't find one to replace it with. So I got 2 new lanterns for the front. As we all know I need balance in all things.

Berries

Little Dan started his berry patch last year and is reaping the benefits this year. Dan & Eddie Ray keep the strawberry smoothies flowing. Well as you can see the boys are back home again. Dan caught a huge Pike. They both had a great time. Sorry no picts. Rick is back up at Classic Upward Bound for the Summer.

Picnic

Well summer vacation is on. And we miss the older two boys terribly. We've been on 4 bike rides, a picnic with Dad, played basketball, been to a baseball game. We're having fun but poor Eddie Ray is lost with out lil Dan. He was so amazed by the goose feather and their poop, it was everywhere.

Picts

Ricky made a cat toy at the doctor's, but the dog's liked it best.

Big Dan and his trophy for his model car.

Camping

Rick and Dan are going to Boundry Waters June 8th - 14th. They are so excited. Like I said they each earned $100.00 each working Consessions at the Car Show. Then the neighbor hired them to move a huge pile of shingles. They made $30.00 each, Eddie Ray made $5.00. So they made all the money needed for their camping trip, except the return home dinner money. Not bad. The summer is going crazy right off the start. They get back on the 14th at 10:00 or so. Then Ricky has to be ready to go to upwardbound at 5:00pm the 15th. Ricky is struggling with studying so it's hard to say how weekends will go. We may get stuck due to his work has to be in. They are getting really picky this year on grades and efforts put forth. He also goes to Youth Conference July 8th- 11th. But that's dependent on his grades, if the program will release him. My computer works great it just can't hear the dialtone because my phone sucks so bad. If you try to call be sure to yell. Or I won't hear you.
