No Medicine Coverage…

So the lady from the office of assistance has turned off Stan’s medicaid as of now until I get her these forms which she sent me a paper that said I have until the 9th to get her.  This morning, I put a rush on this and we went to the bank to get the last paper that I needed and I faxed them all over.  I called her and she has like a million questions, so I answered all those.  Hopefully she turns his coverage back on…well….I think she will.  She said he was easily within the coverage income wise.  That was that….

20070705_00103p I finally got Kyra to stick her tongue out at me.  I know this isn’t the most polite thing to teach your child, but I am proud.  LOL…

20070705_03505p It was sort of a miserable day weather wise here today, but when it all ended we went outside and splashed in the water.  This photo is of a jump with a successful landing.  We stayed outside for about an hour.

I finally got her in the house and she was jumping on the love seat chair.  She was sweating….I have never seen her sweat from physical stuff before.  She is like a bundle of energy and I usually go out first.

I have decided that energy is all given out equally, but we use it up based on our weight.  That meaning that since Kyra weighs only 26 lbs and I weigh something in the area of 150 lbs.. Her energy lasts 6 times longer than mine. 

20070705_03605p We ended with me jumping this tiny little baby on the chair with little tiny hops and Kyra doing full out launching jumps.  She is laughing hysterical the whole time.  I love that such things amuse her and that her amusement amuses me.  It is a vicious cycle.

I got almost no work done today.  It was just one of those days that floated away from me work wise, but fun with the girl.  I love those days more though, working sucks doesn’t it??  LOL…. 

I am going to bed now slightly early.  Good Night…

Over Achiever Today…

20070702_02905p I am probably posting to many posts here today.  I apologize.  It has just been such a day.  LOL….

I finally got over the garage and the shell shock of the bill.  I had a job to do this evening, so we all went.  I was going to go by myself.  I however dropped my family off at the Subway and went and did the job part by myself while they ate.  I ate on the way home.

This is Kyra hiding from me, while we were playing and is sort of a laugh snort thing. I love her nose wrinkles even though they aren’t that attractive from this angle.

20070702_01605p We stopped at the National Forest on the way home.  They have a peddle boat pond/lake/water element.  I have no idea.  LOL…  We stopped though and I took photos.  I like this one the best.  It is the “island” that you peddle your boats around and possibly stop at and have lunch if you want.  There is a table at it.  You rent the boats by the time frame, so I think they love when people have lunch out there.

20070702_02205pAdam was ready to go though, so I had to stop taking photos.  I could have been here all day.  I almost found that bull frog that kept croaking.  He had to be right under my face.

I am home now though and going to bed.  Good Night…my final post aren’t you relieved.  LOL…

The Wedding…

20070623_03903p We went for the wedding.  Here is the highlight of that.  We thought it started at 4, but it didn’t start until 4:30, so 20070623_01202p I was the first one in the church.  Aaaahhhh!  I hate when that happens.  I think Tricia was very surprised that I even came though, which is a good thing.  I like being the surprise.  I sent my RSVP card thing in though, so why she was surprised is a mystery to me. 

20070623_00602p We stopped at Adam’s brother’s house before the wedding.  It was a nice visit.  I think they finally have a house that they will stay put at for awhile.  They had been moving like every few months.  There little Zach is really cute.  He is a ham too.  LOL… 

Here are some of my family photos from the wedding.  I don’t see some of my family very often, so I have to take pictures everytime.

20070623_00902pa This is my uncle Pete.

20070623_00902p This is my cousin Tyler, Pete’s son.

20070623_04506p This is my cousin Jeffrey.  He is one that I don’t see often hardly at all.  I don’t think I saw him in over a year. 

20070623_04806p This is my aunt Laurie.  I also haven’t seen her in over a year.  She is the mom of the bride that was married.

20070623_01703p I only have one more wedding image left.  This one is Kyra and me up on the balcony of the church.  We were up there the majority of the wedding and when Tricia listens to the wedding video and hears this “stomp stomp stomp stomp”, she can know that it was Kyra running back and forth in the last set of pews up on the balcony.

I have more pictures and stuff, but it is so late…I will probably post them tomorrow.

Good Night…

Water Attraction…

20070618_17206p 

20070618_17706p  20070618_19406p 20070618_20906p 20070618_22006p 20070618_23406p

She was having an absolute blast.  I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face.  It was hilarious.  She was screaming and screaming and running back and forth and forth and back.

I have to go to this place more.  LOL….

That leaves my day to now.  Kyra is in bed and my heart is beating just as fast as last night only in sheer fun day excitement.  I am not tired at all even though I should be exhausted.  I am even going to write another post for my new site, Too Much Truth. I would like to get a week ahead on that site.  It is so fun and so opposite of this site. I get to do all this research and be all serious.  I love it.

Good Night….

Good Fathers…

 My brother coming down here a few weeks ago made me really proud.  I think he is a super good dad based on only my few days with him.  Both Kyra and Haley are blessed with great fathers, so I wanted to share some photos that I have, that I don’t know why they haven’t made it into previous posts.  These are photos that have sat in my “ready to go” file for quite some time.

20070501_02610pThis first one is us on a walk and Adam stopping and very patiently helping Kyra snap her stroller, why she loves strapping it all together when she isn’t in it is beyond me.  They stood there well beyond the time I would have given up on the stupid strap, but she finally got it and was very proud.  I was standing on the side proud too, but of Adam more than Kyra.  LOL…

20070602_04109p This one is Jason under a piece of silk and Haley is laughing so hard.  They did this for probably 10 minutes and both Missy and I were both laughing at them, but you could see how much they both enjoyed each other in these minutes, it was very revealing.

20070602_03509p Here is my last prepared photo, this one is just of Haley falling, but you have to know that her dad pulled her, she was falling onto the air mattress and was laughing like crazy.  She probably did this bounce like 6 or 7 times before getting sick of it.

Here is just some other photos that are prepared that have just never made it.  I have been meaning to clean out this file for quite awhile.

20070504_02004p Here is how Kyra takes pictures with my camera.  She is obsessed with this camera and we go through all the way til the batteries are dead everytime I load it up because she takes like a million pictures of her nose close like this.  I want her to be able to use a camera though, so ever now and then I let her take the camera for a day.  It isn’t turning out like I thought when I got this camera though because I never get to use it and my big camera is still my better friend.  Adam says we wasted money, but maybe having a camera for a almost 2 year old isn’t a waste.  Time will tell….

 

20070606_04210a 20070602_02508a Here is just my last two prepared photos of the girls together.  I don’t have any more prepared, so I shouldn’t wait for a month to post them, it has already been a week, so here they are.  Aren’t they the cutest little cuties.  LOL….  They are both lucky little girls and they don’t even know it with there great dads….oh and don’t forget about us mom’s we are pretty great too.  LOL….

82 Days of Vacation Now…

20070607_00505pYes, I survived the last day.  I was done driving and had my bus turned in by noon.  Basically I worked on my bus from 6:30 til noon with only like 20 minutes break.  I cleaned it my 40 minute driving break.  It wasn’t perfectly cleaned, but good enough for them to hose it out which they do.

I learned that I am probably going to get a different route with different kids next year, which sort of has me happy.  It sort of has me sad though….strange though.  I have had a mixed year this year with emotions toward the students.  I will keep my same high school route, but possibly get a new elementary closer to my house.  Who knows though…I will worry about maybe August…LOL… 

Adam came and got me when I turned it in, so I came home and ate.  I then went to my merchandising jobs.  I did my Circuit City store and then my Sears stores.  I was done about 5:30. 

Stan had a sort of doctors appointment.  It was like a pre-doctors appointment appointment.  LOL… He is going for a sleep test, so they wanted to tell him what he had to do for that prior to actually taking the test.  He now has the official appointment. 

We stopped at the fence store on the way home from this and bought a solar powered electric fencer and 75 insulators for our new improved goat zapping machine pasture.  We got that orange braided wire strands for the actual wire part.  Oh, how I hope this works.  We spent over $300 on this though….I really hope we can get away with not putting new posts in.  They cost $6 each and we need about 100, if this doesn’t work.

 20070607_01806p Than…this is where my day gets fun.  I stopped and took this little ponies picture, he was on my way home.  I had missed a call earlier from Tom about the quarry, so I called him back and he was at the quarry.  I asked if I could go in there and that is where I went.  I was there about an hour.

This rock is what Tom calls “Utah” because it looks like the rock found out there.  He laughs and says this is as close as he is going to get.

20070607_03706p There is this spring in the quarry, so it makes this pretty algae grow.  It sort of looks like slim until you get right up close and it is really quite pretty.  I like science….can you tell??  LOL…

20070607_04006p This picture give you the feeling of how big the place is, no that is not a match box car.  The is from the bottom layer.  There are 3 layers now, but I think they are working on making a forth layer.  They are blasting to make each layer bigger too.  This is such a wondrous place to be.  You feel like you are part of nature with all these rocks around you, but really the rocks and the wildlife are the only thing nature here.  Nature doesn’t make this big of holes.  LOL…

20070607_05906p 20070607_06106p It took some work, but I finally got this goose to fly away from me without getting all muddy.

20070607_07506p Lastly, here is the look as you look down into the quarry.

I stopped and took some photos of some cows and a wheat field on the way home from there as well, but I will share them later.

I got home and read my reader empty.  I got in shower, went to Robin’s to get Kyra who was there visiting with Adam.  Came home…got Kyra to bed and here I am.

Woo Hoo!  I don’t have to wake up in the early morning……

Riding the Spring Animals…

20070606_00409a Here are out girls.  This is the giant purple Barney spring rider.  This one is the most accommodating to us adults. Do you think we chose to ride on this nice big one though??  Of course not, but we can’t be left out of the fun, so the horse ride it is.20070606_02710a   20070606_02810a  I look like a crazy lady don’t I.  LOL…

20070606_02610a Kyra likes the spring rides the best of everything at the park, I think.  She will get going down the small slides pretty good after you get her to go the first go which seems sometimes pretty difficult.  She is a chicken mostly.

 20070606_01209a Haley is no chicken.  She goes and goes again.  This is her coming down the big two story slide which Kyra has to be convinced about, but also enjoys when she gets going.  How did I ever think that Kyra was brave??  LOL…

So, ultimately my brother left at 1:30 before my afternoon routes.  Yeah, I got all those pictures in less than 3 hours.  LOL….

I did my afternoon routes which went fine, but I really am looking forward to this year being over.  Tomorrow is the last day though and school is only 3 hours long.  I am even taking the extra step and turning my bus in for the summer right away tomorrow.  Last year, I turned it in same day too, but 2 years ago.  I believe they thought I was going to keep it all summer.  I had it about 3 weeks after school ended.  LOL….  We went on vacation somewhere that year and I wasn’t home a good bit right as school ended, so I just kept it and kept getting busy like you do.

Anyways, I am glad school ends tomorrow and summer begins.  Only 13 short weeks and I will be back at it again though.  Summer seems very short when you are in the midst of it.

Our goats are escaping there pasture on a hourly basis now, so we are going to be getting electric fence to go around the inside of there current fence which will hopefully make them learn to stay in.  This is my Sunday project, but we have to get all the pieces now, so Adam will be on that mission tomorrow with his dad. 

This evening though, Adam and I got in a pretty big fight at least for us about the fence.  We screamed which we rarely do….LOL.  We stormed to the fence store, but it was closed.  They missed a great sale probably as now we will be shopping around versus and anger purchase.  LOL…  Our fence is about 500 feet around, so pretty good size, so pretty expensive this will be on our already broke budget.

That was my day though and now I am going to bed.  Night…

Dog Sitting…

20070605_04603p This is just to show you this picture.  I really like this one (the picture).  This is of Roxy my brother’s dog that I was watching.  She is sort of a cute dog as far as dogs go.  LOL…

Haley has Mean Faces Too…

20070606_06111a 20070606_07111a A fun part of dinner was us comparing our girls mean faces.  I got quite a kick out of the faces of Haley, so of course I had my camera.  Check out these faces.

Does she look mean to you??  My brother was laughing at Kyra’s mean face too, but Kyra looks more like the “What you talking about?” face.  Haley is just a super funny face.  This was so much fun.

I have a ton of pictures, there are more posts coming….

Me, Kyra, and Haley…

20070602_02308pWell, here is my little niece, Haley.  Oh my goodness is she big and cute.  She is now almost as big as Kyra.  She is 4 1/2 months younger than Kyra.  She looks very much like her mom.  She enjoys looking at me.

20070602_03308pShe is very adventurous and very outgoing.  Her personality is so different from my Kyra.  She talks a ton and is more go go go than Kyra even though I had thought Kyra was go go go.  I now realize that Kyra is nothing in that department. 

Kyra will reluctantly start jumping on the air mattresses for example and Haley runs up to the mattresses and falls face first. 

Haley would go down the water slide and laugh and laugh.  I had to go down with Kyra and she screamed.  Kyra liked floating in the water up to her neck a lot more, so we basically relaxed while Haley was going up and down that slide laughing and laughing.  Kyra was laughing and smiling too, but by basically doing nothing. 

20070602_03008pHaley would come to me happily, but Kyra is reluctant to go to my brother.  She is pretty much connected with her mom and dad.

They both are equally happy about animals and our cat entertained Haley for a bit as well.  They are both sort of scared of the goat making her baa’s and it surprises me of Kyra she hears it daily.  Both Haley and Kyra cling to us though in the barn.

Well, that is all for now.  I have more pictures later though.  My brother is coming back on Tuesday too (He went to one of his friends houses in VA for a couple days.), so both these little girls are going to be on here for at least the week.
