Chase

Chase is our funny analytical son who questions everything and yet misses so many of answers because his brain is always going. One of my absolute funniest stories about Chase is when he asked me if I had washed socks yet. I soak their socks in hopes of some resemblence of white. I told him I would get them washed for him. He said good because he needed socks and the washer keeps stretching his out......okay, red flag. I asked him what he meant. He said his socks are getting stretched in the laundry. So I asked him to show me........He pulls out these socks and I immediately start to laugh....he and his Dad have the same socks and somehow Dennis' socks ended up in his drawer. I still chuckle when I think of that morning.

However, he learned last night that some questions just shouldn't be asked. He was reading on the back of the Cortizone cream tube and it said not to use if there's a vaginal discharge. As he's reading this aloud and asking what it means-the room absolutely cleared out. He just sat there and looked at me. After explaining he walked into the kitchen and Dennis asked if he got his questioned answered. Dennis said he was wide eyed and said; "yea, but I wish I didn't know!"

This is a picture of Braylie's counselors after climbing 'Buck Mountain'. This was at Outdoor School and she had a blast! Dennis and I went up Wed and had dinner with her and then got the privilege of cleaning the kitchen. We enjoyed seeing her in her "element" and as a Mom, it's reassuring to see my child enjoying this opportunity!! She was fortunate enough to go up with three of her newest best friends she made this year. She was also lucky enough to get some Great counselors that she knew & enjoyed! Sorry we still don't have her ODS pictures developed with her in them.......coming soon??

What's the word????

Pendletorians got a shock today as they have been told that school maybe ending this week....what? I thought next Tuesday was the last day. Nope, they are voting tomorrow morning to see when school will officially be out for the 2009/2010 year. At what point are we going to realize that instead of cutting school and law enforcement we need to cut out the fat, the issues that aren't hitting us as hard. Our children have not gone to school for a whole month the whole year and the elementary kids are starting to ask their teachers if this week they go to school all week........what are we doing to the future leaders? I'm sorry children that you aren't considered important enough to be put first! When you understand why you weren't, could you explain it to your parents! Sorry enough ramblings.......moving on..............

Memorial Day 2010

This is Netta and I this Memorial Day. We didn't make it around the corner to the same park as last years picture was taken but Kelsi did take some pictures of us attempting to be as "hip" as the teenagers we live with........it was worth a try right? You're only as old as you act?
