Funny Blog

So today I came across a funny blog about childbirth. I don't have any kids but I have been with both of my sisters when they have had theirs and it is really a great experience. This link is to a L&D nurse and her take on the situation....Check it out for some great laughs....http://itsababynotbrainsurgery.blogspot.com

More to come

So, Johns has been doing this huge project for a friend at work so I can't load any new pictures on our computer until he is done...but don't fear - I will have some great pictures of fun things we have been doing...stay tuned...

Vacation Count Down

I HATE SNAKES!

So as I told Johns last night I can tolerate and deal with a lot of things but I CANNOT tolerate or deal with SNAKES!!! I was mowing our forest that I sometimes like to call our yard (today I call it a yard yesterday I had some other words for it and our lawn mower - UGH!) I was putting the rain gutter extension back on and noticed that there were a few rocks from the roof in it. When this happens no big deal I just drop them in the window wells around the house. Last night as I was tipping the rocks in I noticed that the "stick" in the bottom of the window well MOVED! I nearly freaked out! I remained calm as I walked up to the back door opened it to where Johns and his sister were sitting and informed him the whole "I can tolerate and deal with a lot of things...." speech. His response "What do you want me to do"....My response "I want you to get the shovel and KILL IT!!!!!"

My hero came out and killed the HUGE 2 foot snake - after about 50 jabs at it because the stupid thing kept moving around....Oh my gosh could that be any worse!

Surfs Up

Surfs Up DUDE! The 2 days a year that Dewey waits for he shines up his 4 John Deere tractors, creates a cute family float (Surf Shack) and we join the Syracuse (June 28) and West Point (July 4th) parades. Between the 2 parades this year we threw 3200 frozen Otter Pops! The look on the kids faces as we threw them is completely priceless!



We really do enjoy the West Point parade and the park after since we have lived here my entire life so there are a lot of people we know - and you don't have to worry about any "shaddy" people hanging out. While we played BINGO (you know you are jealous) we let the kids run off and play at the free activities they had going on. First would you dare do that at the Layton or Clearfield parks and second do they have free activities at these 2 parks...um NO! See why West Point is the BEST!

Johns was the official Carlson photographer and took 400 pictures of us at the Syracuse parade. He had to work on the 4th so me and my lousy 25 pictures of the West Point parade did not do him justice - sorry!
