It just bugs me!

My friend Rescue Rita came and took me out for dinner and a movie tonight. We went to Olive Garden and had grown up dinner and lovely conversation. It was so nice. THEN we went to the movie. We went to see My Sister's Keeper. Sigh...... never see the movie of a good book you have read and liked. It wasn't a bad movie, it just wasn't the same as the book. It ended totally different. Rita was very pleased I didn't say WHAT THE ........ when the movie took a turn South. I just hate it when they do that. Well have a good Saturday.
Peace

Thankful Thursday

I am so thankful today for jobs. My Dh has been out of work for the better part of 8 months and He has a JOB!!!!! We aren't sure how long it will last but it's a job and it's a good one. He also is working for a whole new group of contractors and they all asked him for his card. YEAH DH!

One of my clients is the coolest ever! Today I got taken to the movie's. We saw The Proposal. It was an OK movie. I wouldn't buy it but it was cute. I think there was 1 swear word. It was so nice of my client. I got my job done just fine but didn't move furniture or dust pictures so I could leave when she wanted. We had so much fun. :-)

Peace

It didn't rain on our parade

It has been a long full weekend. I went and scrap booked on Friday night. I finished my book of our 25Th wedding anniversary trip. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. We both have some journaling to do but the hard part is done. On to the next project.

Saturday night was our town's parade. It had poured and was cold and windy all day but it didn't rain on the parade. About an hour after it ended it POURED buckets.

Sunday was of course Father's day. I talked to my dad and he seemed to be having a good day. I hate that he was working on hay but that is totally who he is so I will take him at his word that he had a good day. We did whatever DH wanted to do yesterday. We goofed off and then had a nice dinner of his choosing and then had strawberry shortcake. It was wonderful.

Today Bugs had to go to work with me and the family was home for part of the time and he had new friends to play with. This child knows no strangers, just friends he hasn't met yet. He is SO his father's child.

The start of the parade

Alooooooha!

The PIRATES!

Marysville's float

Bugs and Grace. I think this is his first date. They went to the end of the driveway. At least he got to drive - even if it was her car. :)

Have a blessed week. Peace

A Promise Kept

We are so happy to announce Skater Dude is graduated. It was a beautiful ceremony for kids and young adults that committed to finishing their education. Some had over come great odds and some just needed to a different avenue to finish. The keynote speaker was Holli Martinez (Edgar Martinez of the Mariner's wife) She was a great speaker and had really good things to say to graduates. It was a very fun night.

Holli Martinez

He did it!

Rita and Christy

Monkey was very tired and not so excited about Graduation.

Hugs all around!

Waiting for Daddy to pick us up. He was VERY tired.

Way to go Bryant! Congratulations

Peace

Wordless Wednesday

Schools out for summer!

Today was Bugs last day of school. He has had the best year EVER! We thought last year would be hard to top but this year was so good. I wish we could take this teacher with us. I know, I know he needs the experience but this women just "got" him and it was like watching a flower bloom in real time.


Monkey can start school in the Fall, much to his father's horror. He and I are both ready. I know there will be tears (mine not his) and it will be rough but he really needs to go. It will be fine. :)


Skater dude got his diploma today. Which cracks me up, not sure what they are going to hand him Thursday at his ceremony. I am so proud of them all. It was a difficult year for us but we all made it through.


I got a clean bill of health and a pass to get back to my life today.. oh yippee. I bet these guys will expect me to do my own chores now. bummer.
Peace

The end of the party

I'm sorta a day behind. Yesterday was very nice and warm. We don't have a pool and The Littles got tired of the sprinkler, soooooo this was the answer. Hey it worked for them. Even though Monkey had a shirt on he still got red on his neck and arms. He is soooo white. Poor kid.


Monkey in his pool.


Bugs building a dam.



Bugs and Monkey in their pools. See that bucket? We had been filling it with hot water. I'm a good mama that way.

This was The Littles today before Bugs went on a "date" with Melinda. They went to the zoo. Bugs was more excited about feeding the squirrels fishy crackers then the zoo animals.

Tonight Heir Apparent came over and brought Roommate and Girlfriend for dinner. I had offered to cook anything he wanted and he wanted to grill. Oh well it is always fun and we almost never do in the winter so it worked. I think we all ate ourselves silly. I don't know what it is about guacamole....

Heir Apparent blowing out his candles. We didn't have a 2, I didn't think of it a head of time.
It has been a wonderful weekend and on we go to the next..... Peace
