I am soooo EXCITED!!!!!

With Fred being home we are in town most everyday, ugh!!
That Boy just can NOT sit home...
Today I decided we would run by the School Administration offices and see if we can transfer Michael to a different school district, what the cost would be and what it entails...
The secretary was very nice and told me when they do it and then she asked me what school I was looking at and when I told her she said OH that shouldn't be a problem at all!!! YES!!!
The K class at the elementary I want him to go to has a teacher ratio of 1 per 16 students, YES!! We fill out the transfer forms on April 15th and then we won't know until June whether or not he is eligible but she said with the school we've chosen chances are good that he will be accepted!!!
That means instead of driving him 19 miles to school I will only have to drive him 5 miles...YES!! I have heard nothing but good about this elementary school too and I am so excited for Michael and pray he can go there.....He'll be able to make friends close to us too!!

Crawly ~ Scrapbook layout

Another 2007 layout bites the dust...you just gotta love that face!!

Circle flies, Texans and respect...

A Republican cowboy from Texas goes to a social function where Hillary Clinton is trying to gather more support for her nomination. Once she discovers the cowboy is a Republican, she starts to belittle him by talking in a southern drawl and single syllable words. As she was doing that, she kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around her head. The cowboy says , 'Y'all havin' some problem with them circle flies?' She stopped talking and said, 'Well yes, if that's what they're called. But I've never heard of circle flies.' 'Well ma'am,' the cowboy replies, 'circle flies hang around ranches. They're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of a horse. ''Oh,' Hillary replies as she goes back to rambling. But, a moment later she stops and bluntly asks, 'Are you calling me a horse's ass?'' No, ma'am,' the cowboy replies, 'I have too much respect for citizens of New York to call their Senator a horse's ass. ''That's a good thing,' she responds and begins rambling on once more. After a long pause, the cowboy, in his best Texas drawl says, . . . 'Hard to fool them flies though !'

Semper Fi

Fred was in San Diego at Camp Pendleton this past week for a few days. His nephew Nathan graduated from MARINE bootcamp...Here are a few photos he took with his mobile phone. Not a great job but it gives you an idea...I sent Michael's click and shoot digital with him but he didn't take any photos with it, grrr....Nathan might be in one of these photos but they are such small photos and of poor quality I can't tell, lol....




Sunday ~ YeeHaw!

I had a date this morning with a nephew to go riding. Andy got a new horse, Cayenne. He brought her over so I could see her and we could go riding. It is beautiful out today and we had a really goodtime. We didn't ride long as Julie and I are not in shape, lol...

Andy riding Cayenne.



Saturday ~ Wedding

Saturday we were invited to a wedding, a former co-worker and friends daughter was married. I honestly didn't take too many photos but here are a few. Fred, Michael and I were still not feeling up to Par from last week so we didn't stay long...
