We had a very fun filled day yesterday. To start the day we took Ryleigh and Dustin to McDonald's for lunch so they could play in the play place. Dustin started to get adventurous and climbed the slide. He got all the way to the top looked down and waved at his daddy. Ryleigh spent some time playing with some boys that were there. Then she decided that she was not in charge and wanted to go home. So we stayed a little longer. By the time we left it was time for Dustin to take a nap. So I put him to bed when we got back. Dee took a nap too. After they woke up we packed up again and took the babies for a car ride. We went on post and found a good playground. Dustin picked up every stick, so he could play with them. Then the bugs started to eat us up and Dustin busted his lip open on a playground toy. We came home had dinner, and I replaced the bike tire and went for a ride. That was while Dee watched his playoffs.

I just thought I would post a picture of the little man eating his ice cream cone. I think that he liked it. After I got off work today I ran a mile and a half. It has been a while so I was not sure how I would do. I thought it would take me at least twenty minutes. I finished in 15 minutes and 42 seconds. So I did better then I thought. I still need to work on it. After I got home I went to bed. I slept for nine hours. I guess I was trying to recover from the run. Ryleigh went out and played in the backyard while her daddy mowed the lawn. When she came in she said, that her head was all wet. As she wiped her for head. I let her know it was sweat. Then she drank a glass of water. About an hour later she told me that she wanted to go to bed. Poor baby.

Sorry, it has been a few days. I have not been very busy, just lazy. The babies are doing very good. Dustin has been practicing ready set go. He squats like he is setting then he says go. He gets up and starts running around the house. What a precious baby's. Ryleigh is making carpet angles. The babies really know how to get on each others nerves. Dee and I are selling the cougar on e-bay it has a few more days. No one has bid on it yet. We will see what happens. Dee is looking at all of the corvetts and I think he has one picked out. I will be turning ion my application for active duty national guardsman this week. I wont know until after the 30th. So we have a lot going on. My new car is great I love it. The trusty old Durango is glad to get a break.

Today I spent most of the day on the computer working on my resume, and my application for an AGR position. The baby's have been quite busy beating each other up. Yes it has already started. Dustin has no problem holding his own. He already uses different weapons like plastic golf clubs. Ryleigh comes running into the room letting us know what Dustin hit her with. Then a few minutes later they will be hugging and playing together again. It is just the beginning. They put us back on orders so we get all of our medical benefits back.

Were back,
we had a good couple days. We looked at lots of homes. Only a few of the were worth looking at again. We Got home around 8:30am this morning. We drove through the night. We did not get much time with Ross, but it is more time then we have had in the past twenty years. Dee is going back up on Wednesday and Thursday.Thank you Connie. I hope that everyone had a good Mothers Day. Connie got a small gathering of family together. I learned to play PO-ken-O. A mix between Bingo and Poker. It was fun. Ryleigh and Dustin always have more then enough fun when they visit. I just thought I would put up some pictures that Connie took on Sunday. Just in case her computer decided to be a pain in the neck. I need to go to bed I have to work tonight. I took pictures of pictures so they are a little blurry.

We are looking forward to seeing ross this weekend. Dustin and Ry are both doing very well. Ryleigh is really getting the hang of the computer. All of the games that she has been playing have been educational. So I do not feel bad for letting her play for an hour at a time. Buy the way I will have you all know. I picked the Eight horse to win in the Derby. I guess I should have put some money on him. I took a blow dryer to Ry's hair, Just to see how long it was. I can't believe that when she was two She hardly had a little pony tail. Look at all of that hair.

This morning we all woke up early. We dropped the Volvo off to get detailed. Then went to breakfast. After breakfast we went to Tybe Beach. Ryleigh and Dustin had a good time. Ryleigh and her daddy tried to build a sand castle. Dustin just wanted to play with a stick. We only stayed for an hour or so because the wind started to pick up and Dustin was soaked. So we went back to the car. On the way we stopped to get a Starbucks Vanilla cream. Now we are all tired. So we will see if we can get some shut eye before we have to pick up the car.

Well, we finally did it. We had an itch and we scratched it. I guess in this case I had an itch. Dee gave in to let me get a car. Not just any car. My Volvo. It is a 2000 Volvo S80. We got a really great deal. It only had 57,100 miles on it. It was an early mothers day present. Dee said, that that should take care of the next five mothers days. Year right..... Ryleigh wants to ride in it but has not gotten the chance. She asked me this morning if she was going to go for a ride. What a doll. Anyway I love it I just thought I would spread the good news. I have been up for 27 hours and I have to go back to work in five hours. We had a mandatory meeting this morning. So I will drop a line later.
