Tweets, Blogs and Wall Posts...

I really enjoy blogging, I enjoy facebook too. It's a great way to stay connected... listening to random little thoughts of your friends and family is almost like having a conversation.. although not nearly as personal.. Blogs are fun because you get caught up on all the random BIG thoughts of your friends and family. I find myself thinking... "This person has not posted for a while, I wonder if she's is okay"... and sometimes, I've heard comments about all the useless information that gets posted to these social networking sites as being silly, or dumb or stupid... but for me.. the more random and meaningless the better, and I find myself smiling and saying... "That's just like her to say something like that..." Personally I love it!! But as much as I enjoy reading everyone business, I don't post as much as I would like to.. I think in posts... but I don't really post much.. So here's a big catch up on all that I've been considering posting about but haven't gotten around to doing.. A mash-up of information if you will...

~ TWO BABIES!! That's right folks, I'm going to be a grandma AGAIN!! My son Aaron and his girlfriend Demitri are going to be delivering late this fall and Heidi and Big are expecting right after that! The family just keeps on growing and I'm so excited... Of course this makes me miss my Salt Lake people SOOOO much more knowing a new baby is on the way.. Aaron, you're officially grounded, pack your stuff and GET HOME!!! (and bring Demitri and the baby too :-)

~ BASEBALL!! My Jesse starts Baseball today. His first game is this afternoon. He's actually pretty good from what I can see at practice. He's very excited and when asked what position he wants to play he said... "batter". I'm excited to having him doing something active again, it's been too long.

I love Lee Dewyze!!
Vote for Lee!!

~ I Farm.... I'm a Farmer... This will eventually be salad on my table and I'm so excited I can't stand it!!






~ Funny thing about this plant... When we were in Salt Lake City last July my good friend Merrill gave me this cute little cabbage plant. It didn't really like the 14 hour drive home and sort of just wilted the rest of the season.. but Steve brought it in the house and babied it all winter and now it seems to be happy and strong. It will go into the garden and hopefully produce something yummy for my kitchen table soon...







~ ACS Fundraiser!! I am Co-Team Captain for our Relay For Life team this year so I felt responsible to come up with a fundraiser. We are making these cute pillowcases and selling them. The money will be donated to The American Cancer Society!! Let me know if you are interested...



$10.00 each... Cotton and Flannel
So Very Cute..

Do you love that new show Parenthood? I have a brief moment of mourning each week when the episode ends... I live for Tuesday's!!


and finally......

~ I'm working really had to make my business work... I'm going to start FORCING people to use me to walk their dogs.. I'm thinking about hiring a couple of really big guys to persuade folks into needing a dog walker... ;-)

That about catches me up... Now it's your turn to fill in the gaps!!

Love and miss you all much!!

Happy Earth Day!!

Jesse's AHA moment...

Jesse has always been a fan of the "girls"... I think because of his medical problems he's been less active and rough than boys his age, and girls are a bit more tame... so he's always gravitated towards hanging out with the gals in his world..

He has 3 best girls at school.. Zoey, who he loves and she loves him back, as a matter of fact, don't tell him I told you but he has been caught several times kissing Zoey on the school bus... Then there is Emily W., (or E.W as we like to call her, there is currently only one Emily in his class, but we still call her Emily W. for some reason???)... she loves Jesse and frequently sends home love notes and small trinkets to prove it.. but Jesse only loves that she loves him... he does not want to kiss her on the school bus or anywhere else.. (thank goodness). Then there is Payton, she just likes him and he likes her back... no love, no kissing... sort of like Vada and Thomas J...

Yesterday Jesse came home and said that he had a terrible day.. I asked him why and this is what he said:

"Emily W. doesn't love me anymore and she only wants to play with Payton... so I asked if I could play too and they said yes... so I played with them..."

Here comes the aha moment....

"but mom, girls are so boring when you play with them, nobody is ever the bad guy and they don't want to run around and scream for their lives.... I just want to play boys from now on...."

Hopefully this means the school bus too!!
