Piece and Quiet?

Well this week has been pretty uneventful. I put the boys on 2 different busses going two ooposite directions Monday morning. Tyler had to be at the church by what I thought was 8:20 am. Which infact he didn't need to be there until 8:45. Lil pooper made me hurry and get him there. I guess he was excited to go. I was miffed because I thought I had his spending money in the truck and when I got in there to give it to him before we left I couldn't find it. So I'm freaking out because it was my picture taking money. AH it's in my pants from yesterday I thought. Well I ran upstairs to find my pants. I can't find them anywhere! Starting to panic big time.. freakin out, almost started to cry because I knew they were up there somewhere and I couldn't find them. Finally I found them under my clothes on the dresser...Whew!! I get Tyler to the church way before time it seems and the lil butthead wouldn't give me a hug goodbye. I figure next time instead of "embarrasing" him in public I will just have to get him here at home. The church rents a huge traveling bus for them to go to camp in. Which all the kids think is pretty darn cool. David and I waved good bye, talked to a few other moms and I assured them thier kids will have a good time and they will be safe because Tyler went last yr and everything went well. Oh except one of his so called friends tried to hang him up by his undershorts.. he didn't think that was very funny(but I did...hehehe).But other than that he had a good time.

At 11:00 am it was time to take Jake. He too was very excited to get out of dodge. David and I stayed to watch him get in his van and leave to. LOL sorry Jakes morning wasn't nearly as dramatic as Tylers.. Although I couldn't tell him enough that he needed to make sure he ate well. Last year he came home sicker than a dog. Cried his eyes out when he saw me. Broke my heart. I really didn't think he would go again this year. But his friends talked him into it. I sure hope he has a good week this time.

Now it's just David and me. And then it starts.....MOM CAN WE GO TO THE POOL NOW? HUHUHUHUH? After lunch David. He inhaled his lunch and off we went to the Plattsmouth pool. It is a larger public pool with a water slide and it's a beach like setting. He had a blast! Before we got home he was beggin to play the computer ALL BY HIMSELF and the wii ALL BY HIMSELF. LOL So that's what he has been doing for the most part. Just entertaining himself with gadgets.ALL BY HIMSELF. But you know I thought my house would be alot more quiet. But NOOOO he has to make up for the noise with his brothers not being here... UGGHHHH. I took him to see Wallie and he loved it, ate a whole tub of popcorn all by himself. What a lil pig. I personally thought the movie sucked. It was another greenpeace movie. And we make too much trash. That was the jyst. Yesterday the WiiFit was delivered to the door. I was more excited to play it than David was. Cool so get out of my way boy! It's mommys turn! Wow that was alot of fun and hard all in the same. It keeps your weight and BMI and holds you acountable... a game? holding you acountable? Yep it knows when you've been on and how long you've been on and when you should be taking a break.
Today is the last whole day before the boys get home. David wants to go to the pool again so he can wear his new trunks I got him the other day. And I want to take him to the fair tonight. I don't think he has ever been to a real fair before. So we are going to do it. Darren has to Ump softball games tonight so it will just be me and David. Which is ok with me. You can usually only fit 2 people on a ride anyway. I just hope he doesn't chicken out on me with the rides. Tomorrow the boys come home. Jake gets in about 2:30 I think and Tyler around 6pm. I hope they're having alot of fun this week.

Saturday we are going to Darrens work picnic. It's at the Double D (DD) Ranch. Up the road about 30 min. or so. After doing all the activites in the afternoon the evening will be a chuckwagon supper and a live cowboy music show. I am excited to go. I'm sure the boys will be bored. But it's something I think they need to experience. And with BoozAllenHamilton paying for it I want to take advantage of it.

Well David is buggin to go to the pool again. So I am off for the next few days. I will report back after Saturday sometime.

Another day

Today I finished editing over 150 senior pictures. Man why do I get myself into that many? I need to just pick the best ones and call it good. Well I did that too except I went thru the pictures with the girl and she wanted them ALL. The toughest thing about the pictures is that she is a very pretty girl and had the same exact smile in everyone. A pretty smile but after looking at the same thing over 150 times got real old real fast. I'm glad it's over. Her mom was very happy. So I guess that was the whole point.. right?

Tyler got his braces on Wednesday. He's been a real trooper thru the whole thing so far. He's even been going to basket ball camp in the afternoons. And complains more about his legs being sore than his teeth. He is an official metal mouth now. Braces are on top and bottom. I am excited to see the transformation. I want him to have normal looking teeth so bad. Unfortunitly it can't happen over night. I'm glad I applied for a job this school season because braces are not cheap. Wooo Weeee 4grand.. Thank goodness we can make payments.

Next week Tyler and Jake go to camp. It will just be me and David at home during the day. He says he is looking forward to the boys being gone. But I think after a couple of days he will be missing them.

Not too much else going on around here. Weather has been pretty crappy and the pool turned green. I'm getting anxious about going down to Tx for the NPS conference.
If you want to see the new pics I took they're on my myspace page.

Just a new pic

I saw this pose on ILP a few days ago and had to try it with the boys. As you can see it took alot to get them to be serrious. I wanted the serrious look and it was like pulling toenails. But I think I got a good one. Would liked to have thier eyes more even though. I may try again today. Watch out boys here I come!!!! MUHAHAHAHAHA

It's been a while

It's been a while since my last post.
Baseball is almost over. I still can't believe how we managed to do 3 teams this summer.And my softball games. Tyler has tournaments this week. And Davids last game is this coming Saturday. I want to take a huge sigh of relief but as soon as I do something else will be starting. Summer is coming to an end. Tyler will be going to a basketball camp during the day next week. He and Jake leave for camp on the 28th and come back on the 1st. There's school shopping to do before the younger two and I head to texas for the NPS conference. School starts on 13 Aug. and then we are back to being crazy again.
I am very ready for school to start...LOL

More pics of the 4th

Jake lookin cool up on that firetruck. Tyler and David on the fire truck. They love sitting there to watch the fireworks.
POM POM Jake... hehe

Hurry up! We're waiting to light the sparklers. This is Todd the boys cousin.

Happy 4th

Well the 4th came and went. It was pretty uneventful here. We didn't do much that day. I took Darrens parents and the boys and thier cousin Todd over to the lake where the fire dept. was on stand-by just incase there was a fire. So we all got to sit directly under where the fireworks where they were being lit off. The boys sat on the firetruck and the adults stayed back and I took some pics.
