Happy Memorial Day!

Memorial Day weekend has been interesting for us. Lets see, everything keeps breaking. Our fountain pump died, the pool heater is acting up, and we just paid 1200.00 on the air conditioner. Needless to say we didn't go or do anything. Jay and the boys are outside putting together a new shed to replace the one destroyed in the monsoon last year. That is good....

The weather this year is really nice here. It has actually been really cool. Yesterday is the first day all week we had weather back in the 100's. It has been raining on us. Poor graduation ceremonies were disrupted all last week.

School is out now but we are signing both boys up for summer school. Jaron will only be going for 2 weeks but it will help him get ahead a little for next year. Jace needs to get back to college so he is taking general ed courses at the local junior college. It is good to have them settled for the future. But, we won't be doing much travel this summer because of it.

Of course, we wouldn't be doing much travel anyway. Jay is finally running the trains for the testing phase at his work. That means that we are gearing up for the actual launch of service in rail here. This is going to be a busy time for Jay with everything going on. He is excited but also a little nervous about the time committment that will be involved. It reminds me of the Olympics. He will be busy and away from home a lot.

One last thing. It is official. Jaron is 6 foot tall. He is now taller than Jace. Still shocks me to see my baby so grown up. I took a picture yesterday I will have to add soon.

The Little Menace!!!!

Ok. I have always been too kind for my own good. I like to help people, it just makes me happy. This time I might have taken on more than I can chew. My boss was going on a trip for 3 weeks to Spain. He just purchased a 18 week old Golden Retreiver puppy for his little boys. The puppy hasn't gone through a full set of shots yet so no kennels would take her while they were gone. Needless to say, I offered to watch her.

Her name is Sadie, AKA the little menace. She is really cute, I mean adorable cute. She is the cuddliest thing I have ever seen. Anyone sitting on the floor ends up with a 25 pound dog trying to curl up in their lap. I mean she really is cute.... BUT she is a puppy. As a puppy she likes to teeth on stuff, she chases around the house, and makes me laugh. Case in point. Jaron is out exercising the dogs in the pool right now. The door wasn't closed tight. Sadie jumped against the door, ran into the house to say hi to me. Jumping at my legs she decided to shake off the water against the couch. What a little menace.

Other than watching the puppy for the last two weeks we haven't been up to much. The boys are so ready for summer. We haven't taken the boat out but we are ready to. Life goes on.... soon without the Little Menace!!!!
