June 23 Dustin is 12 now!! Wow, where did the time go? It doesn't seem like 12 years has gone by. Dustin has gone from little chubby, dimple cheeked, cherub to a very pre-teen boy. It makes me sad in some ways. Hoping I didn't miss something somewhere along the line.
 Anyways....(sniff sniff sniff..) He has his party today. How many kids do you know that get to set fireworks off on his birthday? I know I never got to. He had a neat cake, with a '57 Chevy on it. I made him a honey ham dinner, which he loved. He got a cool knights shield from his grandparents, Randy's folks. And from his other Grandparents (my folks) he got a cool art set with a dragon theme, and my Mom made him a dragon statue out of clay. Its very cool! He spent all his cash on a couple water guns....super soakers. (He and Britt have been wet almost every day now since he bought them, lol!!!) And with a gift card he got a bunch of fireworks, lol. He also now has 2 new fishing poles, and his Dad is going to finish fixing his go cart/buggy. I'll be uploading the photos in a day or so. I need to alter a couple and re-size them. My memory card went out, so I could only take a few. My brother, Mike, took a few too.
We're planning to have a HUGE 4th of July party/BBQ/Pool party. Between us, Jen & Robert, my brother and Jen's Dad, plus whoever else comes.....we'll probably have enough fireworks to set off & last all night long, lol.
Well, that's about it for now. I'll add what I can later on. I'm beat and ready for bed. Here is a photo for now. I'll add the rest later on. HUGS!!!!! June 04 Oops! Sorry!!OK, I know, I know.....where have we been?!!! Well, we have had a lot going on the past several weeks. First off, homeschool for the most part is done for the summer! YAYYYY!!! So now we have to find things for Dustin to do.
Then I took on babysitting for a neighbor to earn a little extra money for Dustin's birthday. I am watching 2 boys on Mondays and Tuesdays. They are a big handful, but it's OK. It just means no sleeping in on those days now. And the days go by fast, although at times not fast enough!
Also my brother and his wife are now staying with us for a bit. They moved here from Houston and left a lot of really bad things behind. It's not easy to live with family, but at least I know they are better off here. They seem to really like it here. Although my brother is having a hard time finding a job. And of course they have the same problem we do: one car. They brought their dog with them too. A Pug named Pugzlee. He doesn't care too much for Buddy, so we made them keep him in their room or outside. This is Buddy's house, so we refuse to lock Buddy up.
Randy, Dusty and I are doing OK. I have lost a bit of weight since Mike and Deb moved in, but I'm trying to put it back on. I can't spare a whole lot of weight. And of course my Fibro has been acting up too. More aches than usual. I'm also planning to go in for my surgery in a few months.
Randy's doing good too. He mowed the entire 3 acres yesterday with Mike doing our backyard. So he was pretty wiped out last night. He working still and the truck is finally starting to drive better.
Dustin has really matured in the past few months. But he has also started acting like a teen. Scary!!! If some of y'all saw him right now, you'd be in shock! He has facial hair growing in!!! Arghhhhh!! I AM NOT READY for this!! I want my little boy back!!!!!
 Well, I can't leave these boys along too long, so I'll close for now. Feel free to email us anytime! I'll be adding photos in the next week or so. I really hope I am keeping this site alive for a reason. I haven't had but one person even tell me they have seen it. Just remember that my email addy is still the same except for the @ part. It's now @gmail , so if you email me, its the same beginning as the msn one.
Alright, keep in touch!! Ciao!!! |
