John's last day

Today was Johnathan's last day to be with the kids. He had a great summer here and we had a great time too. So today to make things special we went to Kingston to the mini golf/ go cart/ movie/ amusement ride park. Then to Chucky Cheese. The boy's all of them had a great time. First they rode on the go carts. Their package included 6 laps but it wasn't busy so they both got 8.

Johnathan was big enough he got to ride alone.

But Dalton had to ride with me while John stayed with Tyson. He was laughing the whole time watching us kids play. He unfortunately wasn't big enough yet.

Then they decides to go to the amusement rides. They rode so long on most of them that they got sick of it. Ever heard of such a thing? The rides lasted at least five minutes each. They got eight rides a piece.

They went on the scrambler twice, the big slide once, the spider 3 times, and the tilt a whirl twice. The spider was their favorite.

Dalton liked the big slide. He always does. Tyson would have liked that one too but we went and played in the water park instead while the boys went on the rides.

After the rides, they went to play their game of mini gold. that too came in their package. All for $20.00 each, I didn't think that that was bad at all. And they had tons of fun for the day.

Then by that time they were all starving! Or at least whining about it. So we headed over to Chucky Cheese. They choose a peperoni pizza and played a bunch of games. We got home about 5pm so I think it was a good last day.

We only had one problem all day.....

Chucky the mouse came in our row. Just our row and this was what happened!

Tyson absolutely freaked out. He hated that big Ol' mouse! So he didn't come anywhere near him after that, and trust me Tyson watched everywhere he went! The kids had fun though and we had a great summer. Thanks John!

Woo Hoo back to school Tuesday!

What is it with boys and Home Depot ?

I had to pick John up from school tonight. He sleeps at our house when I work midnights. Darin leaves around 6am, and I don't get home until about 7:30am so it helps us out some.
Anyway tonight while Dalton was at Karate, and after i picked up Johnathan. We had to go to home depot and pick up some 2x4's. We needed them for the bottom of mt gazebo that is under repair. I got it last year but..... there was a big wind storm and it picked it up and turned it inside out over our maple tree. Not so good for the metal bars. Anyway, I managed to find someone with the frame that they were getting rid of with just a little damage. We kept all the parts just for no reason. in hopes I guess. I was almost sick about it because it was only up for a month when that happened.
Anyway, this time we are screwing in down to wood then placing cement blocks on the wood to hold it in place. Hope fully no more wind storms. Tyson had a great time riding around on the cart!
What is it with men having such a fun time at home depot? Do the hormones go into overdrive when you walk in??



He had rusty butt from the cart when we left!

Riding around just like he is in his right mind.


This is my gazebo once it was all done except for the other half of the screen.. i love to sit in it at night I hvae light for it too. It keeps out the skitters. And is great for the shade! I would reccomend it to anyone who needs something like this for your yard, but make sure it is secured down!

Hopefully, just hopefully it won't blow away this time!

Monster Truck Madness!!!

Dalton went to the monster tuck show tonight! He has been looking forward to going for over a month since I got the tickets. Johnathan and Daddy and Poppa went with him so he was so excited! I got to go last night with one of the individuals from work that I support. We had a great time especially the pit party! He got to wander around all the trucks and get autographs, pictures and actually touch the trucks so he was really excited!

This is the driver of TAMXX! Dalton liked this truck because it was already in bad shape which meant he had crashed before!

This was the driver of Prowler, he liked this one because he has a small one that he plays with all the time!!

And this is called Category 5. If you look the second person from the back is Dalton and Johnathan is sitting beside him at the back.
He managed to watch the whole show, get an autographed poster of everyone and have a great time! There was a little sharing problem that night but nothing a little withdrawal won't cure! That and his mother teaching him how nice it isn't to share. Let's say it's a lesson he won't forget anytime soon!
IF HE KNOWS WHAT IS GOOD FOR HIM!!

A Fun Filled, Eventful and Joyous Day!!

It was a very nice day. Gorgeous. The weather was sunny, very little humidity, it was 20*, and not one bit muggy. I wish all our summer days could be so nice.
Today we had a great day! Lots of fresh air and exercise! First thing this morning we got up when Daddy got ready to leave for the Marlbank poker run. For those of you that don't know it is a four wheeler run where there are several stops. You pick up a chip at each drop and at the end you turn in your chips for a cards and that is your hand in a game of poker. There is lots of prises for the winners so it will be interesting to see if Darin comes home with anything. Usually I go too but this year I decided that I would stay home with the kids and Darin could go with his buddies. Just as well we had a great day!

After Daddy left we all got ready. We had planned to see Auntie Ethel today. She is a very special friend of mine and the kids just love her. Since I returned to work last August I haven't had a lot of time to spend with her so today was the perfect day! Anyway, we got already to go and she arrived about 9:00am. We went to Denny's for breakfast. Both of Ethel's kids work there. First out came Kenny to say hello, then shortly after Amanda. I remember when Ethel's kids were the same size as mine! Uggg!

We had breckie and a good visit. Dalton had Alien pancakes. His favorite no matter at home or out! He's a cheap date! He was chewing on the plate in the picture! Tyson just shared off of every one's plate except for the chocolate milk. That he has no problem devouring!

After breakfast we decided to go to the pirate ship park for the kids to play. We laughed. Ethel said she needed a glucose pump just to keep up with Tyson! That boy ran all over, and over, and over. Not the least bit interested in anything but running around and under the boat!

Dalton played and looked for a Friend as always. They had a ball.

Tyson wasn't much into riding with Dalton!

See you couldn't hold him down!!!

Afterwards we decided it was off to Reid's Dairy for an ice cream cone. It was yummy!

Tyson shared Mommy's!

We then went over to Toy's "R" Us to look around at what's new. We just looked much to Dalton's unhappiness. He didn't say it, ( he knows better) but he was thinking it!
We headed home then. John just got dropped off by his Dad so we had to get home before Angela had a cow. Go figure. Hmmm fourteen year old boy at home alone in the country what do you think he is doing..... of course... the Internet. There isn't much else that he would get into alone.
The boys ( Dalton and John) had some work to do. Each paying then some cash for their pockets. John had to move around some insulation for Darin and Dalton had to shine the rims on Daddy's truck! We got some really hot pictures of John in some of his Uncles old clothes because he forgot his own. John make sure your girlfirend sees these pics your real sexy! he wasn't impressed about me taking his picture but Dalton and I were dying laughing.

We especially liked the pose.....

I don't think he did too bad a job for a six year old! I'm sure Dad will be impressed!

As all kids we went to Walmart after because I had to get a few things. John's lasted about 15 minutes and he bought a CD. Dalton tried to spend it but he just couldn't find anything to buy because he didn't have enough. Watch out Nan... he is coming for the can. ( He has a secret stash at Nan's house!)
We came home made some tacos, kids had a bath, played a little game cube, and watched "Happy Feet" and went to bed. Both of my kids were tired out! Me too but I am just going to lay on the couch until Darin calls to come and pick him up!

This is a picture of my dog Johnathan took....isn't he a beautiful dog... I love him.... Awwww

Great day! Thanks Ethel! Love ya!

Bowlin..bowlin..bowlin..keep that ball a rollin....

So Tuesday we went bowling. Dalton has been a bugging to go since Nick's ( his buddy) birthday party in December. So we went on Tuesday afternoon. Johnathan and Angela went with us. They are going away tomorrow but Dalton wanted to spend sometime with John before they went.

Johnathan brought two of his many girlfriends with him to. Then they went to the mall for a couple of hours to wander around. We had other errands and stuff so we said "chow". And away we went. ReAnna won the game, Dalton got third! 98. Woo hoo!

I'm not really sure what the rest of the week will bring but I know I work on Wed & Thurs and so it won't be much! All these little activities start to add up after a bit! My kiddies are worth it though they are only small once.

In the pictures you can see that Tyson is so excited for his brother and cheered him on. Then the cheezies got his attention and then bowling wasn't so interesting.

Today is my big brother's 39th birthday!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY EDWARD!! I hope your enjoying your holiday with your kids.
