Pictures of PawPaw

I finally got around to finding some pictures of the boys with their PawPaw.

Until we meet again Paw Paw

Darrell's dad passed away on Monday. He was 80 years old. His funeral will be on Friday. Here are a few pictures I found from our last visit there. I have some really cute pictures of him holding my boys when they were babies but I will have to find them and post later.

Sit down in your thinking chair and think..think..think....

Boys in the pool

Kindergarten Graduation

This is my little Pookie Bear Nathan, aka Nay Nay, all grown up and graduating from Kindergarten. He got all 4's (A's) on his report card. I'll never forget the day I was home from work and decided to take a nap. The doorbell rang around 12:45. I thought it was the UPS man so I just ignored it. Then a few minutes later the dog started freaking out - so I got up to investigate. There standing on the front step was Nathan. He was outside at recess and decided he didn't want to be at school anymore. Mom was more fun. So he just came home. After lots of hugs and kisses and a juice bag I returned him to school - where everyone was out looking for him. This landed him in the Principals office. When Mr. Rogerson asked him what happened he replied, "I escaped school. I'm gonna hang out with Mom." He had a few more attempted escapes but they caught him in time. I was worried about him, but he ended up doing just fine. Love my baby boy!

Sick of all this sickness!!

Because I have felt like doogy doo for 3 weeks now - this blog is NOT positive. Major attitude/venting in this one!

For real, ya'll.
I am so over everyone in my family being sick all the time. Poor Bradley who has trouble with school anyway has missed so much school I don't know what is going to happen! My stupid boss has decided "no schedules" she will just call me if she wants me to come in that day...makes it hard to plan ANYTHING...and how am I supposed to make Dr's appointments if I don't know if I am gonna get called in to work? I guess boss lady thinks we don't have lives or something! A co worker of mine had not been called in for 2 weeks so she went to Canyon City to visit her daughter for a few days. She ended up in trouble because boss lady tried to call her in while she was out of town! SO unfair, I think. If I didn't need a job reference I would sooooo quit this place. So anyway...I have applied for a job with the school district. The job posting closes this week so fingers are crossed that I get an interview...it would be just my dumb luck that I do - and I will still be sick. Oh the impression I will make coughing and sneezing all over the place!
But please, please, please, please!!! Let me get a job soon. I am so sick of my stupid, too small, 1 bathroom, no garage, can't grow any grass in the yard house. Thank goodness my neighbors are nice at least.

A gross snot story..

If you get grossed out by snot, do not read this!

I have been sick the last few days with a cold or allergies...who knows. I try really hard not to sneeze around other people. I do not have a cutesy girly sneeze. I sneeze like an old man.

Anyway, on our drive to the Phil Long Expo today for Bradley's Scout Pinewood Derby race I kept squeezing my nose shut to keep from sneezing. Nathan asked me why I kept doing that. I told him if I sneeze in the car we would all go shooting up to the moon. The boys got a laugh out of that.

We were waiting f o r e v e r for Bradley's race to start. Joshua occupied himself "fixing" my hair.

A guess after a few hours of holding in my sneezes my body got fed up with it...because next thing I knew....kaaaboooom! At least 6 times. SNOT ALL over my jacket sleeve. Gobs of it. I know gross huh?!?!

When I finally got it together enough to look up my husband was looking at me all horrified. Joshua is screaming at me "I just spent 45 minutes working on your hair and look what you did!!!" LOL!

Nathan was dissapointed we didn't all go shooting to the moon.
