Great News

I forgot to put in my post yesterday that I am a great aunt again. Todd and Tiffany had their baby boy (Gage Matthew Bell) Saturday, August 2, 2008. I have not seen pictures of him yet. He weighed in at 8lbs. and was 20 inches long. When I get pictures I will share.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Sorry I have not written in a while. I have been busy taking summer school and taking care of sick kids. I am finally almost done with my last summer class. I took my last test tonight and all I have left to do is the class evaluation on Wednesday. Douglas is just getting over a double ear infection and a rash that he got from the amoxicilin that he was taking. I hope that we are done being sick in this house and that things return to normal. I promise to write more later.

vacation

Linda, Brandyn, Cheyenne, Hannah and My Family went to San Diego this weekend. It was a busy time but everyone seemed to have a great time. We left early Friday morning and drove to the San Diego Zoo. We walked around the zoo from 1:00-7:00pm. It was neat to see all of the different animals and no they did not try to keep any of us.

Saturday we went to Sea World. What a day. We got a late start so we did not get there until 10:00am. We made up for the getting there late. We stayed until 11:00pm. The kids were such troopers. The boys finally fell asleep at 10:45pm. Some of us got soaked by the dolphins during the night show while others got soaked riding the rapids ride. The crazy thing, we all got wet at night when it was cold. Oh well, we all had a blast.

I hope you enjoy some of the pictures from our trip.

This was a great weekend. Tyrone suprised me and took Saturday and Sunday night off so that he could spend Mother's Day with me.
We went down to Phoenix Saturday and got pictures of the boys. I think they look handsome in the photos. Douglas did not want cooperate so it made it a little difficult but they turned out nice. Sunday we spent time with Tyrone's family and then relaxed the rest of the night. It was nice to spend time with both families this weekend.

hard to say no

With four weeks left of school the parents of the little girl that I was babysitting got angry at me and found someone else to babysit. I was not going to babysit anymore, but then I got a phone call from a few teachers at the school asking me if I could babysit an 11 week old baby. Having a hard time saying "no" I decided that with three weeks left of school I could watch the baby. So instead of having some extra time with just Clint and Douglas we are now watching another baby boy. He is a very good baby and the boys just love him. Tyrone teases me because I have such a hard time saying "no". It is something that I am trying to work on. That is all that is going on here in Bagdad, AZ. I will try to continue posting as I am busy once again.
