Friday and feeling fine...

I feel so much BETTER today!! It was a welcome relief!!

I had that stomach virus Weds and then yesterday I had some dental work done. They've found out I have sensitive teeth and my mouth normally kills me for weeks after any kind of dental work. I found a fantastic dentist and he used some time of desensitize treatment on my teeth yesterday and it WORKED!! YES!! I was truly amazed this morning when I got up and my mouth didn't hurt...I'm laughing because for years I dreaded going to the dentist and avoided it at all cost...now I know why! I'm so thankful I found a Dentist who understood and did something about it!!

So today Michael and I went to town...we had a pretty good day! I got some goodies and Michael got a new HOUSE!! He loves it. Except now we have to color it, lol...I thought Michael could do it but he wants Mamma to help, ugh!! So much for me having some quiet time to scrap!! It's a pretty cool house and we found it at a local craft store and it wasn't that expensive either...He said he wants to hang a sign on it..."NO DOGS ALLOWED"...lol...He says Jake is to big for his house...and I think he might be right!!

After the house was built I decided to try some more photos of the birds. I actually had a Carolina Chickadee out at the feeder and wanted a photo of it....but alas I had problems!!

As you can see I had one MAJOR problem!!

A horse with her nose stuck in my camera, in my hair, blowing in my ears, etc....She just doesn't like it when I am trying for photos of the birds, lol...Or perhaps it might have been feedtime!! Ekkkkk...I couldn't resist the photo of her nose, lol...now how many of you have ever had the chance to look up a horses nose, ha ha ha!!

Another chipping sparrow...I liked the way the sun showed the red on his crown. These sparrows are really tame and I love watching them...once again I'm just too far away for a decent shot...one of these days I'll get a better lense for my camera, lol...then watch out birdies!!

And another shot of Mr. Cardinal...he was watching me and was real flighty...I won't give up though and I'll keep trying for that perfect shot I want...

That was pretty much our day...

Boys and Boots; The Trey Saga continues...

These photos were taken Tuesday after Trey had the flu and just before the rest of us got it! What is it about Boys and Boots?

Trey found Michaels boots and just had to try them on for size...lol...Thank goodness Michael was otherwise occupied or he would have thrown a fit!!

To bad he had that pacifier in his mouth or we might have seen his beautiful smile!! But he's still a cute little munchkin!!

A Modern American Work Parable For All To Ponder:

A Japanese company (Toyota) and an American company (General Motors)decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River.
Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile.
The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the reason for the crushing defeat.
A management team made up of senior management was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action. Their conclusion was the Japanese had 8 people rowing and 1 person steering, while the American team had 8 people steering and 1 person rowing .
Feeling a deeper study was in order, American management hired a consulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a second opinion. They advised, of course, that too many people were steering the boat, while not enough people were rowing.
Not sure of how to utilize that information, but wanting to prevent another loss to the Japanese, the rowing team's management structure was totally reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 3 area steering superintendents and 1 assistant superintendent steering manager.
They also implemented a new performance system that would give the 1 person rowing the boat greater incentive to workharder. It was called the "Rowing Team Quality First Program", with meetings, dinners, free pens, and a certificate of completion for the rower. There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes and other equipment, extra vacation days for practices, and bonuses.
The next year the Japanese won by two miles.
Humiliated, the American management laid off the rower (a reduction in workforce) for poor performance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles, and canceled all capital investments for new equipment. The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses and the next year's racing team was "out-sourced" to India . . .

Two Treys...

I have two Treys to speak of....Freds son, Trey and then Dawns son, Trey, lol...It gets a bit confusing at times. Tonight is the first time they met!

Trey meeting Trey!

The two Trey's together!

The score so far...

2 down for a nap, 1 watching cartoons and Mamma blogging quick like!!

Trey is down for an afternoon nap. Fred is also sleeping as he has to work tonight, they are doing a 24 hr swab on a well!! Michael is quietly watching cartoons and I am going to lay down in the recliner as soon as I finish this blog!!

Michael explaining to Mr. Trey exactly how the tractor works...with that smirk on Trey's face I wonder what he is thinking...like can I just run this kid over?, LOL....

Trey was clapping and smiling while Michael was zooming around the yard on the tractor...

Okay so I guess Trey didn't think the tractor had enough power and he decided to push it!!

Let me show you how to drive this thing.....Zoom, Zoom!!

Trey, Jake and Michael playing in the yard.

Trey playing with Jake!!

Jake watching over Trey....now look at him, do you see what he is doing, he's CRAZY!!

I'm finished now off for a quick respite before someone wakes up!!

Sleep deprived...

Hmmm I have found out that Trey does not sleep, Ekkk...and I keep telling myself what is 2 days out of a lifetime, lol...I can go 2 days without sleep!! Yes I can!!

Michael is such a big help, I honestly don't know what I would do without him...And no photos yet this morning as I am just toooo tired to lug the camera out!!

I am honestly not having any problems with the boys but Jake seems a bit out of sorts. He hasn't attempted to hurt Trey but he won't let Trey near me if he can help it. He bumps him out of the way with his furry rear-end, lol...All the other animals have found their hiding spots and are staying out of the way!! LOL can't say as I blame them...

Well off for some more playtime...Kitchen is clean and laundry is almost done!!

And the games have begun...

Yes my dear friend Helen has front row seats as the game begins....

Dacey, Michael and Baby Trey playing in the play area at the Hospital. Dacey had her hair cut and she looks so grown up and absolutely beautiful. She has a long road ahead of her getting her meds and blood sugar where it belongs but she is being an absolute trooper about it!! She has even started injecting herself, WOW!! Michael and her, as always, were so happy to see each other and to start playing.

This was the view of the setting sun and Corpus Christi at the Hospital.

A very sweet beautiful Brave young lady!!

And here is the little corker that is coming home with us for a few days!! LOL you just gotta love that grin!!

So far so good, Michael and him are playing and Trey has made himself right at home...

My husband is in the living room jumping up and down screaming as I am typing this...The GIANTS have won the Superbowl!!! He is just tickled!!

Now off to play with the boys!!

This little guy...

This little guy is coming to stay with us for a few days!!

My friend Dawn is bringing her daughter to Corpus to a Pediatric Diebetic Specialist for a few days and she needed someone to take care of her Son....so of course I volunteered...That way Dawn can focus her full attention on her 6 yr old daughter who was just diaganosed with type 1 diebetes...

I think we are going to have our hands full, lol....I've been working on getting the house childproofed and hopefully I did a good job! We shall see...
