Dustin woke up early today so that means that the day starts early for everyone. I was going to golf but I thought it was to cold. So Dee went and played 18 holes. When he got back we decided that we needed to take Peanut to the Vet. He said that he might have a tumor. But he needed to call some Dr. In Jacksonville. So nothing new. I went to take Ryleigh to the Movies to watch Hoodwinked but I forgot my purse. So I took her across the street to kroger's and bought her a candy with the change I had. On our way out Ryleigh said that she wanted a balloon. I did not have anymore change. But the lady at the floral counter said that she had a balloon she could have. So Ryleigh took the balloon and said thank you. When we got home Dustin wanted one so I went back to the store and got another balloon. so now they are both going to wear themselves out playing with balloons.

It felt good to sleep in today. We went and picked the Durango up from the dealership this morning. They tried to charge me for a diagnostic test. They must have been out of there minds. I was in there on the 20th of January and they told me the same thing only this time they found out what was really wrong with it which is what they should have done the first time I was there. We need a new catalytic converter. So I will take it somewhere else to get a second opinion. On a much better note. The diploma showed up today. I tried to convince him to put the cap and gown on, but he would not bite. So why did I pay for a cap and gown? I did get him to take a picture. He is a happy man today. He also went and played a round of golf. So I think he had a good day.

Ryleigh is getting better at talking on the phone. I talk to her for about 15 minutes while I was on my way home. She even put the phone to be. She said, that she was putting me to bed the seconds later she would ask me if I was awake. Then she would tell me to hold on a minute. Then she would say, "OK I'm back." It was so cute I did not have the heart to hang up with her. Hit some more golf balls out at work today. The part that sucks is shagging all of them. It is like fifty two card pick up, only I have to walk a couple of yards between each card. But the price we pay to have fun. Dustin loves to play peek-a-boo now. Only he has to have control over the towel that is over his face. What a ham. Last but not least, The man of the house watched tiger win his golf tournament. Golfing world watch out tiger is at it again.

What a tough day at work. Not really. Weekends are always very easy. But this weekend was very nice. We did what we had to do. My partner and I did some patrolling then we went to the canal with a couple of the other guys and went fishing. One of the guys caught a baby bass. So we put it back. And the other guy caught some type of gray round fish. We put them both back. Then after we did more work we went to an empty field and hit some golf balls. The fun part was hitting them the crappy part was picking them all up. But that is why we get paid the big money. Dee and the baby's had a typical day. They went out in the backyard and played then they took a nap. Then they watched a few shows. I took the camera to work to get some snapshots but I forgot to take pictures. I will post them tomorrow. So now I am worn out and ready to call it a day.

My days off go to fast. Ryleigh and I hit up Wal*Mart this morning, before Dee went to play a round. Ryleigh and Dustin chased each other all over the house today. I did absolutely nothing constructive. Tomorrow the Durango goes back in to fix the same problem it had before. So I will be late for work. I hope that they don't have it as long as they did the last time they tried to fix it. Ryleigh wanted me to take a picture of her with my hat on. So that is the photo of the day.
That was the face she chose for this picture.

Just thought I would drop everyone a line. Dee had his first job interview this morning. He feels pretty good about the interview. The cars check engine light came on again. So I went to auto zone and got a free diagnostic test. It is the 02 sensor again. And it is the same one. So I went to the dealership and they said that we have to wait until Friday to bring it in. I hope they pick up the tab on this one. I don't really want to pay for something that I paid for a week ago. Besides that we guess that Dustin is allergic to Bananas. Just like most of my family. After we quit giving him the bananas the hives have not come back. Ryleigh was worn out today she took a nap on her own. So she will be up until around 11:00 o'clock. Dee also took a trip out to the local golf course helped them pick the range and played nine holes. So we sat and watched American Idol and that concludes the day.

I had the privilege to go to work this morning. Dee let the babies play in the backyard until they had no legs left. Dee called me at work today and told me that when he closed the window today he startled peanut and peanut fell over and could not get off of his back. So he is not doing as well as we thought. Harley is still as annoying as ever, but he keeps us on our toes. Dustine is doing well, he did not have any benadryl today and he did not break out in hives. Ryleigh tried to jump rope with me she kept trying to giving up. She will get it soon. She kept coming back for more.

Hello all. Dustin is doing much better today was the last day that we had to give him the steroid. We have to fight him to take the benadryl. He is sleeping like a rock. Yesterday Ryleigh and I went for a good long walk. I think we walked over a mile. Well, Ryleigh gave up on the way home. So I packed her for about a quarter of a mile. I went up to Savannah last night to have dinner with my new friend. Then Wendy her husband and I played poker for a couple hours. It was fun. Dee has spent most of the day relaxing. It is good for him he needed to catch up. He is supposed to be watching football games. I think that the back of his eyelids are winning.

What a day,
We started the day out by letting Dee go out to the golf course. The dodge is out of car doctor. It is still making noises that I asked them to fix. I went and got my nails and toes done. While Dustin took a nap Ryleigh and I washed the cars. Dee went for a bike ride. When he got home I took Dustin to the ER. He has hives that keep getting worse. They sent us home with some steroids and benedril. Still no luck finding parts for the cougar. And the job hunt continues.

They found out what was wrong with the Durango. Nothing major, so far. They have had it since Monday. We are now going on five days and it is still not fixed. They say that they are waiting for parts to come in. I don't think they have called us once in the five days that they have had it. What a way to do business. On a better note it is my first three day weekend in a month. I love to came home and see the kids wearing each other out. They have been playing hard all day. I'm glad that they are getting old enough to entertains each other. The search for a 71 cougar parts is proving to be complicated.

I have more bad news I got in a wreck last night. It was just a fender bender. I got lucky I hit my Flight Chief(boss) It was all my fault. I thought that he had left the yield sign and I looked over my shoulder and gunned it and he did not leave. So at about Two miles an hour I pushed him. No one was hurt. The cars front grill cracked and the driverside blinker is broken. He had a small dent in his bumper. The Durango got towed to the dealership this morning. They never got to work on it today the were to busy. So now that all the bad stuff is out of the way. Ryleigh and Dustin are staying busy. The weather is supposed to be nice over the next couple of days. So maybe we can get them outside. Dee Went for a ride on the Harley this morning. He is still a little upset that the Cougar got a boo boo. He says that he is not mad at me. He is just upset that the it happended.

Back from work. The house is in one piece. Ryleigh spet the day playing with her new horse. And Dustin spent the day chasing her around the house. After the long evening bath I tried to twist dusting hair.
You can't really tell. I don't think it will hold. It would be cute if daddy had son had the same hair due. Peanut is still not doing well. We missed his Vet appointment. I had to work late that day. The Durango is on the fritz again. So it will sit in the driveway until Monday morning when it will be towed into the dodge dealership. Last night my foot found a piece of glass that was about a inch long. So I pulled about a quarter of an inch of glass out of my foot. I'm glad that my foot found it instead of one of the babies.

howdy!! I graduated my combat training course. I have bruises all over my legs from jumping in and out of the Hummers. It was a great class. They gave us Friday off. So I did nothing all day. Dee went and played 18 holes. Ryleigh did jumping jacks with me. Dustin kept himself busy playing with his toys. Daddy brought the kids home a stick pony. It sings the theme song to the lone ranger. And the little head moves back and forth. Ryleigh has not given Dustin a chance to play with it. But, Ryleigh is calling us cowboy daddy and cowboy mommy. So ya'all tune into tomorrows blog, for more from the Dickerson's Ranch. Ya hear.

Long hard day. I only have two more to go. The combat training has been very informative. Besides feeling like I'm nine months pregnant, plus some with all of the gear on. It has been a great experience. The Durango has crapped out again. Who knows what the problem is this time. Peanut is doing worse then ever. He is still eating. So that is a good sign. I hope that the vet gives us some news tomorrow. We are going to go get a second opinion. I got home around three So Dee got to get out and played some Golf. He said," that it was the most relaxing nine hole he has played in a while. " As for the babies they are chaseing each other around the house picking on each other. I hope that I can get some pictures taken tomorrow.

Dustin was up and down all night long. He is trying to get a couple more teeth. He had a small fever. I qualified on both of my weapons the first try. It was fun. After I got home Dee took the Harley for a quick spin while the kids and I played in the backyard. Dustin kicked his big ball all over the yard. Ryleigh was dancing for all of them. Clapping and stomping. I think that we had every kid in the neighborhood lined up along our fence. No joke. But the babies had a good time. They played until it got dark. Peanut is still leaning to the left. He wanted to play so bad. Harley played fetch until he could not walk anymore. Tomorrow starts another long week If I'm not to worn out I will keep you all posted.

We got the bike back. Dee had a cold ride home while the kids and I sat in the nice warm car. But he was happy the whole way. I have weapons qualification tomorrow we are shooting the M-4 and the 9mm this weekend. It will be a couple of long days. Dee got out and played 9 holes this morning while the kids and I went to get my drivers license changed to the state of georgia. Both of the kids are worn out. It is good to see everyone blogging.

What can I say. I have one day off until the seventeenth. I took my seven level test today which means that if I passed it I am eligible to put on my E-6 stripe. Tech sergeant. As for now I am just a staff sergeant. I think that I did well enough to pass. But passing is passing. We have to go pick up the Harley tomorrow. We just had a new front tire put on. It was over due. It will put a big smile on Dee's face. Now we just have to find a babysitter and some good weather and we could hit the road. Ryleigh and Dustin just hung out today. They keep there daddy on his toes. Dustin loves to brush his teeth. He spits and taps his toothbrush on the sink just like his daddy. It is so cute. Ryleigh keeps herself busy talking to her hands and playing with her ponies. She looks forward to her bedtime book. Not the bedtime part, but the book part. That about sum's it up for the day.

Yesterday Dee went to the liberty county board of education to turn in an application. They were closed. When he got home we made a few phone calls to see if Orange park was open. Orange park is the Dog track. It said that it was. So we made the Two and a half hour drive to find out that they were closed. So we went to the McDonald's across the street and ate. On our drive home there was a lot of traffic. And it was raining very hard. When we finally got home I went to get my nails done. This morning Dee is going to try the board of education again. Both of us started playing the biggest loser contest that my sister and her husbands family are doing for the new year. I want to win, so I took Harley for a run this morning.

My new years resolution is to lose weight. I bet that is a big suprise. The pressure is on I have to weight in on the 7th. The military is a good weight loss tool. either lose it or get lost. I would like to get into school.

Dee's New years resolution is to lose weight. And he might work on his masters.

This last year went so fast I'm not even sure what we did. I do know that We brought in the year 2005 in tucson with family. Ryleigh got compleatly potty trained. Dustin got teeth, learned to walk, to talk, By the end of 2005 he was talking on the phone. I went back to work. We moved from Tucson to Georgia, We went to Hawaii, some rekendeled a long lost relationships Dee finished his degree. I think that it has been a great year.
