Is it really July 11th already ??

Hi everyone. Sarah called last night and pointed out that my blog is very old, and that I should update it. So here goes.

The fourth of July was awesome. Jeremy & Sarah and the twins came up on Friday morning and we had a fabulous day. Jeremy owes me $500.00 because he bet that I couldn't get Elijah to take a nap. Word to the wise...never bet a Grama she can't do something with her Grandchild. We had a great time watching the fireworks, which everyone, including the twins thoroughly enjoyed. All in all it was a perfect day.

My thoughts frequently went to Debbie and how much she enjoyed the 4th. I remember way back in the day, when the fireworks were done out by the then MGM, over the pond and we took KFC and the kids and watched to the beautiful music. The next year it snowed, but they still put on a great show. I was never really a big fan of the 4th, I mean it was OK but wasn't really one of the Holiday's I looked forward to. I think I appreciate it more now, remembering how much Debbie loved the holiday. I miss her.

Jonas came over and spent some time with us on Saturday. He was pretty good. He always loves to see his cousins. He and Elijah wanted the same car, one of 20 they could have chosen, but we worked it out. Elizabeth did fantastic with her potty training and was awarded many treats :) Hey maybe I should have Rachel bet me that I can't potty train Jonas. That's right ... Jonas is 3 years and 3 months and is still in diapers. I need to work on that more consistently.

Jordan has been enjoying his summer. He spent almost two weeks with Jer & Fam in Vegas. He absolutely loved being there, but claims that he missed us too. I missed him horribly. He is still playing his stand up bass at church with Terry and they sound awesome.

Jason and Nicole are doing well, except WalMart stinks. They have weird shifts and just do really stupid things to their employees. One example is, if they want to wear jeans they can but they have to pay $1.00 if they do. They cannot transfer to a different department until they have been there 6 months, they have to buy their own ball point pens for their stations, the list goes on and on. Jason has applied to the community college here and will begin this fall with his GE credits. They are going shopping for a car this week !!!


My computer crashd while I was typing this & was down for several days. Jordan fixed up my laptop last night for me. It's fun having a geniouses for sons :)

Love you all

Lovely update honey. I remember many 4ths with the kids too...and particularly how passionate Debbie was about the day. One year, up at the University, there was a grass fire and it freaked everyone out with billowing smoke going right through the crowd. We all probably overly-panicked..but it's even fun remembering that one. The year that Bill died (in April), Debbie and Val came up to Grants Pass to celebrate the day with me...it was wonderful and although so sad that year, one worth remembering also. I do miss her so much. I also remember how the fireworks used to terrify DeEtte...poor little thing. I trust she loves them now. :)
