Things we have done this past month or so ...
Sarah had two birthday parties. She had a friends party on the March 20th and a family party on her birthday, March 31st. I hope to get a slideshow posted soon. It took her about three weeks to convince me to let her have a party with her friends. I put her in charge of everything and for the most part, it was stress free for me and that's the way I like it !!
Tyler finally got his haircut !! He went from his "surfer" look to a crew cut?! His choice ! I'll have to post a picture soon!!
Travis still needs a haircut.
Travis has switched from acoustic guitar to electric guitar and is learning his favorite metal songs. He sounds good!
Bobby is still searching for work but in the meanwhile has been getting the yard ready for spring. He has re-painted all the gnomes for the backyard so they look brand new! Soon after, Tyler was caught using the gnomes for target practice using his air/bb gun!? Bobby wasn't to happy. I thought it was funny!!
I've been keeping busy just running the household. Exciting work.
We had a nice hail storm yesterday! Here's a picture of the hail in our gutter!
This is one of the things I like about Idaho, the weather is never boring !! It came with thunder, lightning and wind but only lasted maybe ten minutes.
Hope to post more pictures soon!
Love to all!!

Spring is finally here!!
I must repent from my laziness and write more on our blog.
It's just that I don't find our lives very interesting most of the time?!
We are a ordinary family doing ordinary things ... but we have fun most of the time !!
What troubles me sometimes is that the kids seem to be growing up and maturing too fast for me!
Travis sometimes acts really mature and impresses me with the things he does. And then sometimes he acts his age !!
Tyler does the same thing, too! It's fun, then frustrating. It's also a little scary realizing that in a few short years, they will all be old enough to leave home!! :(
Sarah is growing leaps and bounds and it's hard to believe that she is just turning 12 on the 31st?! We had our hair cut together a few weekends ago and it made her look even older.
I remember when the kids were little how I wanted them to hurry up and grow up (learn to walk, feed themselves, use the toilet, etc...), now it's all going too fast. I do not look forward to an "empty nest".
Anyway, Bobby still hasn't found a job. He went through another round of interviews last week but to no avail. At least this time they made their decision in one week and not three months like the other company. It's depressing for him and me, but we'll make it through.
Loving the warmer weather. Looking forward to being able to open my windows again !! First we need to wash them?!
Spring break is next week for the kids! We are not going anywhere but hope to do some things locally!!
We are all well and healthy, warm and well fed! God has really blessed us!!

10 Whenever
1. Yes, I could be much more consistent with my postings. But, why change now??!!
2. It's been almost six months since Bobby was laid off. This past Thursday he has his fourth interview with Harris Moran Seeds. You would think he was applying for the job of President of the company with all these interviews??? (He has applied for a Supervisor job over treating and packaging) For this fourth interview they flew him into Modesto, California, where their HR department is. He was suppose to fly home that evening but his flight was cancelled. He got home Friday instead. I think he's tired of all the waiting, too. He should know before the end of next week. Pray for us!!
3. Last Tuesday Tyler had the freckle/mole removed from his left lower eyelid. He has a few stitches that will be taken out next Wednesday. The lab has already come back with results. No cancer present. But they said it was the kind of mole that had the potential to become cancerous. Always check your moles, everyone!!
4. Travis needs a haircut, but is resisting as usual.
5. Tyler needs one, too!
6. And Sarah ....
7. We have been enjoying a very mild winter. The temperatures have been in the 40's during the days most of the past month. Makes me worry about this summer. Is record heat in the forcast??
8. I'm getting in the mood for change. I plan to "re-do" the kitchen - meaning take down all the "decorations" and make it different. I think less is good.
9. My pantry needs a purging, too. So does my closet and pretty much every room in the house.
10. Really wished we own a house on a lake somewhere...with a boat. Just a little dreaming...
Love to all!!

10 on Friday
1. Bobby is still waiting for his 3rd interview with Harris Moran. The Plant Manager is still on vacation so we are still waiting .....
2. Monday, our cat, Ginger accidentally scratched Bobby really close to his left eye.
3. Tuesday his eye began to swell.
4. Wednesday his eye continued to swell and started to hurt. He is known to get Sty's in this eye so he figured a Sty was coming on. But it was starting to really bother him so ...
5. Thursday, I had him tag along with me and Tyler to an appointment Tyler had with an Ophthalmologist. We managed to have him seen after Tyler's inspection ... and .... (drum roll) ... turns out Bobby has Cat Scratch Fever ?! No kidding !! And I thought Cat Scratch Fever was an urban legend?! According to Wikipedia, it is properly called Cat Scratch Disease.
6. So ... he is now on three different prescriptions to knock it out of his system ?!
7. Spent the whole day yesterday with that stupid "Cat Scratch Fever" song stuck in my head !?
8. Any who , the Ophthalmologist didn't like the way Tyler's "freckle" looks on his left lower eyelash line so he will remove it February 2nd. It's not your normal freckle, apparently.
9. Also on Thursday, our cat, Buster, was discovered to have a swollen left eye (what is it with the left eye in this family??) so we took him into the Vet that evening and he is now also on a anti-biotic gel for his eye. He was scratched by some cat above both eyes and the left so far is the only one infected.
10. Strange how Bobby, Tyler and Buster all had/have issues with their left eye in one day??? Good thing I'm not superstitious??
11. The rest of us are fine !! (knock on wood)
