Crazy times. We got back from camping on Saturday night, and decided to head down to Modesto on Monday night, since it looked like Wendy (Sarah’s sister-in-law) might have to deliver her baby early. She went into the hospital with very high blood pressure.
She’s been there since then, but it looked like they [...]
Took the back way up to Auburn this morning – dentist appointment. Its a really great drive. Two lane, windy road, twisting up into the foothills. Lots of yellow, grassy fields, and tons of oak trees. The occasional old orchard or vineyard, clusters of blackberry bushes.
Coming around one corner, I saw [...]
The camping trip was about what it was supposed to be… Fun for the kids, exhausting for the parents. It was about 105 on Friday when we got there, and hit the same on Saturday. We were at the lake by 8:30 am and it was already hot.
We also had the [...]
Tractors. We’ve lived here over seven years, and I’m pretty sure there has been tractor work over our back fence at least five of those years. Maybe six.
Our yard backs up to a big field. It was a grassy, somewhat hilly field with a few trees when we first moved here. [...]
Its funny to watch Heavy J interact with the bigger kids. He so wants to be one of the big kids, and is so thrilled when he gets to. They’re out in the back yard right now, playing. He still hasn’t gotten over the thrill of being big enough to play out [...]
So one of the presents from the party was a big, inflatable T-Rex. Its about 4′ tall, and the kids really love it. I, on the other hand, am losing lifespan every time I come upon it in the middle of the night. And I swear it happens every night at some [...]
Fun birthday party for the Cowboy on Saturday. We arranged for this lady to come from a place called Nature’s Critters. She brought along some of her animals and gave a great presentation. The kids got to learn aobut and hold a tortoise, a skink (big old lizard), a hedgehog (which is [...]
So I remembered the funny thing. Its not all that funny, as it turns out. That rarely stops me though.
On Tuesday, after playing soccer down at HP, I went to start my car, and it wouldn’t start. Then the alarm went off. If you’ve seen my car, you know that its [...]
The CD does, indeed have music on it. Good stuff – some I’ve heard and some that’s new. I’ll put up a song list as soon as I have time to go through and make that up. Should probably just burn a copy for Kham…
Finishing up some stuff here in Modesto before [...]
One of those days when its hard to muster much to blog on. Sarah’s sick – she got a pretty bad cold yesterday – so I’ve been trying to balance watching the kids with getting some work done. Doing poorly at both.
Going down to Modesto on Wednesday this week so Jamey and I [...]
