First day of school!!

So they had a GREAT day. They didnt want to go but when they got home they couldnt wait to go back! I'm so glad about that, I prayed all day for them to have a great day, and they did!! Parker gets 2 lockers, 1 for pe and the other for himself, so we are going to get him a lock this weekend, hes growing up so fast. Patrick loved his teacher!! He also has a girl that likes him, they are SOOO cute together! Her name is Beth and she is my friend Jessi's daughter so it works out good b/c we were going to arrange that marriage anyway lol!

We've been helping out our friends Jeff and Amber get their house ready to move in, Don is up putting in the hardwood floors right now. So we've been pretty busy. I have an interview at the daycare here in town tomorrow, which works out perfect if I get it because I can bring the boys, which is what I wanted. Were all going out for dinner tonight. I love the group of ladies that live in this town =)

Don is working all weekend, he was suppose to have Monday off, but not anymore =( So were just going to hang out this weekend and do laundry and all that fun stuff! It actually got up to 88 today so that was a nice suprise!! Anyway, thats it for now!

Coolin down

I'm not sure how I do the heat, I actually just go out and do what I need to then be thankful that I have A/C lol! The heat actually doesn't bother me like it use to, I'm sure I'm just use to it now, but thank goodness for today! It was only about 80 and it didn't reach that until late this afternoon, so it was a nice cool day. Last night we were over at Jessi and Leos when the power went out, so we decided to go home and we walked outside and it was pouring! I do not like rain at all, so we got home and the whole town was without power, i'm sure the big storm didn't help any. Josh was having a hard time going to sleep cause he was a little scared, so we just put em all in our bed, well of course as we were getting ready to sleep the power came back on, in the middle of the night I put Josh in his bed, but just left Jared and he slept all night, turd. Today we woke up and got ready and walked up to school so I could get Parkers class schedule =( He also got his locker and ordered him an ASB card so he can get into all the games and dances, yes I said dances! I'm not sure how I'm going to handle this whole jr high thing, hes too little. Josh and Jared were handfuls today, but were so happy when Daddy got home (not as happy as me lol) so Don got out the weeder and weeded and I mowed, with Josh following me with his mower, so now our yard looks pretty =) Not sure whats on the menu for tomorrow, suppose to go to the park with the girls but we'll see if it rains or not. I'm off to the nest!!

Its still hot

WoW! It got up to 107 today! It was more muggy today than normal. Don worked from 3am-3pm, so he was pretty drained when he got home, but still managed to have a big water fight with the boys outside while I made cookies inside. Gotta love air conditioning! Tomorrow its only suppose to be 97, so a bit cooler, then I dont know what were going to do, they say its suppose to drop to the 70's, time to get the winter clothes out I guess. Today was the last day for the Odessa pool, its closed until next year, the boys went for a while, but it was too hot so they came home. 5 more days til Seattle!! Cant wait to party it up with the girls! Its going to be so much fun!! Tomorrow we dont have much on the agenda, maybe more laundry and all that fun stuff. Well thats about it, I'm off to bed!!

Its hot!!

Wow, its hot here, but I guess its hot everywhere, suppose to be in the low 100's all weekend, today it hit 101. The boys finished swimming lessons. Parker and Patrick passed, but Josh didn't which we kind of expected, but he still got a sucker. I went to Post Falls, Idaho with Jessi on tuesday I think so she could pick up a cat. It was a fun ride. Tomorrow is pickle day, where we finish them, although it grosses me out I cant wait to do it and see whats its all about. I promise to take pictures!! Don has tomorrow off, sort of, he has to go to bed early so he can get up at 1am to go to work. On tuesday I have to take Parker to the school so he can get his class schedule

=( sniff sniff! I am not ready for a middle schooler!! In 4 years he will be driving =() Were just laying low this weekend and even into next week. I'm going to Seattle on Friday for Meghans bacholorette party, I'm really excited for that!! Then when I get home saturday were taking off to do school shopping stuff, my favorite time of year! Well I posted some pictures of the little ones swimming in our pool! Enjoy your weekend!!

Monday

Well Josh did finish the week of swim lessons, now they have 4 more and they are all done. 17 days until school starts and I have not even gone shopping yet, my most favorite thing to do!! Tara and her fam came over thursday night and left early sunday morning. So we spent the weekend in Ephrata, saturday the two little ones got their hair cuts, the older two are not until it gets a little closer to school. We had a bbq at moms, which was yummy of course. Sunday we went grocery shopping then headed to a bbq at Rochelles house, that was alot of fun also. Today Don and the two older boys took off to Silverwood in Idaho for the day, they are finally on their way home and had "the best time of their whole life" Mariah and my mom watched the kids for us (mine and Jessi's) while we went to ritzville and got pedis, much needed pedis. The little ones have been butts today so I am so glad to be putting them into bed in a few minutes!! Tomorrow is swim lessons and cleaning the downstairs!!

Craziness!

What a week! Started swim lessons yesterday, all the boys did really good, today Josh wouldn't go in, but tomorrow he said he will. It was really hot today, once it got up in the 100's. So I'll start with yesterday. We were on the other side of the fence watching lessons, Jessi and Me with all the kids and Parker pipes up and says "look there is a snake" well its not just a snake, its a baby rattler. So then of course it wouldn't be complete unless someone stepped on its head, not knowing he was there, I thought Jessi was going to have heart failure as it was her 4 year old son that stepped on its head. I went over and got a guy who is always there for lessons and he took a big rock and killed it, then tells us that the babies are worse than the big ones. After that fun time, I went and picked up Maple, Rochelles dog, we were doggie sitting for the day. Then Jessi came and got the two older boys and took them swimming with them and I watched Ambers 2 youngest. Last night was Joshuas open house for preschool. He got to see his classroom and I got to sign up for a bunch of stuff, oh joy! Today was lessons again, then rush to the store to get lunchables then across the street to the community center to help make pickels for D fest here in town next month. Interesting process, cant wait to finish it in a couple weeks. Then off to Ephrata to go to the dentist, which actually went really good and fast, love them there! After that I headed to Quincy to get Dons motorcycle tire, came back got the boys, mom took us out for dinner and headed home to start laundry and water the grass. Tomorrow is a little more calm, we only have swim and Joshuas 4 year old checkup. Tomorrow is my sissys birthday! They are coming over tomorrow- sunday so we have a lot of stuff planned.

My friend Amber has opened an Ebay store for cowgirl/cowboy /farming clothes, they are some of the CUTEST clothes! She also has some for sale in Odessa if you make it out here, but here is the link to her store, check it out and buy stuff!!!

Well thats it in a nutshell!! Have a good Thursday!!

Cowboy baby!

Well Josh had a great birthday. We went to the Rodeo to watch some friends who were in it, they played, got dirty and had cupcakes for the birthday. It was fun! Last night Maleia and McKenna stayed the night and had cake and ice cream with us. They are such sweet girls. This morning they have been playing like crazy fools until Joshua started crying, his toenail is barely hanging on (insert me barfing) so I had the girls go home and finally calmed Josh down. My Aunt and cousins are on their way over. I'm so excited I have not seen Deanna for ever!! Then were going to moms house for a big taco dinner. Tomorrow starts swim lessons for the 3 older boys. Well I just wanted to post some pictures of my cowboys =)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSHUA!!

I cant believe that my baby boy is 4! His actual birthday is the 3rd but were going to be busy tomorrow so I thought I would post tonight. He is so wonderful, so sweet, so cute, so loveable and SO much like Patrick! He truly is a joy to us!

On his birthday we are going to the Kids rodeo! They are so excited! We have some friends that have their kiddos doing the rodeo, so I am really excited to see it. So my WONDERFUL friends here in Odessa are putting together a birthday party for Josh at the rodeo. Jessi the perfect made a butt ton of dirt worm cupcakes and Amber the great is providing all the juice box's, I tell ya I lucked out here in this town and met the best women here!
