POW-MIA

What a great thing these guys do and since Travis got his Harley he has decided to join and ride with them. They do great things, like rides for funds for cw hog and toys for tots, as well as riding for returning military men and women in our local area. It is great and I am glad to see him enjoying it so much! Later, Amy

Nap time

This it the cutest thing! We took a road trip today to Tincup, Idaho outside of Thayne, WY to vistit my dad. It was fun and a lot of work with a small puppy! The boys loved it because they could play outside in the dirt without getting in trouble. The yellow jackets and hornets were very bad up there and Trevor got stung right on the nose! Adam and his girlfriend Sunnie were there with her three girls and one of them got stung right on the lip! Ouch! We had a lot of fun and it is beautiful with the leaves turning colors now.

New house memeber!

Travis with Tinker!

Eric and Tinker!

Travis' friend Jeff's huge 7 month old dog Riddick; Tinker didn't like him much!

Ok all, you convinced me! Ok, not really but how can you pass by those adorable little puppies in the window at the pet store; so yes we got a puppy today! The kids are so excited and I am so terrified of the little thing howling all night long until she is old enough to go outside for the night. Her name is Tinker and she is a six week old yellow lab. Trevor was upset at first that we didn't get him a chocolate lab like he wanted but he has warmed up the her really fast. We are very excited about the new house member and hope to have lots of fun with her. Later, Amy

Pets?

Ok, if any of you know we are debating the pet situation. We have a huge yard and two very energetic boys but I am still hesitent due to the #2 being all over my yard and someone having to clean it (I am betting that someone will be me) I also am not a fan of pet hair which comes with the #2 in the yard. We were at my sister's house today and she has two cats and just seeing little Trevor wanting to love the kitty broke my heart. Trevor tortured the cat but he took it all in stride and was very good with Trevor tormenting him. So Sandi's neighbor has a dog that she really has to get rid of since her son is gone now and we are looking at taking the dog. I do hesitate since the dog is about 10 months old and a little high strung since right now it is confined to a very small back yard and a very little kennel most of the time. So any advice on that would be appreciated. Later, Amy

House work!

It is not pretty folks but there used to be two large holes right here that are now large mismatched drywall! I hope it looks better after tape and mud.

This is a very ugly and generic light cover but it works and came with the seal for the shower. Travis could do nothing but laugh at my great concern over the ugliness of this light cover!

Ok, I thought I would post and let everyone know what we are doing. I am just keeping busy with work, two kids, a husband and a big house and yard, no biggie! Lol! Travis and I finally got the light covers on the shower lights; they are not my favorite but are functional and the only "shower" light covers for a cam in all of Lowe's. Also i have been busy doing repairs and fixes as well as trying to control the wasp population at our house. I finally put the dry wall back into place and repaired the holes from moving the washer and dryer downstairs and capping off the water lines in the kitchen wall, so I don't have to see pipelines in my kitchen when I cook now! Yah! We have a friend coming over in the next few days to tape and mud the repairs I just did. I also torn out the caulk from around the bathtub upstairs and re-caulked it and since I had my upstairs bathroom all torn apart, I did a deep cleaning of the floors and base boards. So not a lot of fun but I hope I can keep up with this house. We are starting to rearrange the kitchen for the pantry to be put in place and doors put up to cover up the mess but I have a feeling that it is still a few months out, lol! Later, Amy

Hi

I was just online really quick tonight will Travis is working late and thought I would post. Fyi for everyone I am now on facebook as well but very slow at it still and don't really get it, but I am there and it is nice seeing old friends from high school and what is going on in their lives. Later, Amy

Fair time!

We went to the fair last Tuesday and rode some rides but mostly we went through the farm areas and petting zoo. The kids loved all the animals, even the stinky pigs that Trevor wanted to visit again and again. McKee's was there with the petting zoo and we love all their friendly animals. We also seen animals racing, yes folks, pigs, ducks, goats and chickens racing each other. It was very funny!

My little explorer!

So Trevor brought me his cute little plastic ice cream cone and then told me he brought me a present. I, as a mother, accept all presents offered no matter what it turns out to be; even grasshoppers! Yes, he had a grasshopper hiding inside of his plastic ice cream cone and was so very careful and gentle with it that you just couldnt be upset over it. It was very sweet of him to bring it in and share it with him mom, who obviously doesnt get outside as much. Later, Amy

Larry is home

I am sure most of you know, since I am way behind in posting but Larry came home on August 25th and was very excited to do so. He is looking really great and doing well. We all went out to dinner together tonight and really enjoyed sitting around and visting with each other. We are very grateful to have him around a little bit longer. P.S. Don't say anything about that messy hair in the hospital! Lol! Later, Amy
