 here I come ;)

Ok Mom,wanted me to post this picture here as well ;) It`s Blaize practising riding his new bike.

Other than that we are still busy working on the yard (dog run) . Blaize had sleep over Parties and we`ve been going to the Pool a lot. On Friday we are planing to go see a circus in the World Arena that should be fun. Hope everybody has a great Sunday.

 How come?

ok, how come I can't cut and paste text into this box? I can paste into an email, but not to here? Oh, well, as soon as Dad gets up, I will retype what I was going to cut and paste....

And I don't see anyone posting here! Come on guys...do your old mom a favor and touch base once a week!

Dawn how are you and Elijah doing? Do you have any "feeling" about timing?

I am heading out to mow...see you all later!

 Long time!

Wow, we have to start utilizing this more...whole blocks of time are being lost! Christie..you have tons of updating to do!  I know we all (well most of us) use FB to keep in daily contact, but please don't stop using this blurb, as this is something that stays and can be kept for the kids to see later. History not written is history lost!

And for our military family members:

I don't know how many of you (including Jeremy here) have kept your home of record in Oklahoma, but if you have, next year you are not subject to State income tax.

Happy Thursday! And BLURB!!!!

 Only in Oklahoma...

http://wwwtmrcom.blogspot.com/, if you click on this today/tonight, the top story will be about the Pharmacist who shot and killed a 16 year who was one of two people who came in to rob him. You can argue the merits of charging him all day long and there is NO right answer in this very sad situation, but...there is some irony in that the same prosecutor who is charging the man with first degree murder is asking the judge to allow him to continue to carry a gun so he can protect himself at work (he was given a 100,000 bond and a unknown individual posted it for him).

I am currently at the hotel in Denver, Simone are safely back at home, Dad is sleeping soundly. It has been a very long, tiring week and I am in my jammies as well, since I didn't get but 3 hours sleep myself last night!

A HUGE BIG thank you to Simone for getting out on unknown pathways today and getting lost (remember...if it is during the day, it is an "adventure", it is only "lost" after dark) and helping a VERY stressed, half melted father-in-law to set up a booth. Just knowing family was here was so very comforting for me. There was a moment this morning when Simone was in the middle of her "adventure" and Dad had just finished his I thought I was going to have two people in a meltdown, but they both pulled through.

Now after Simone tattling on Dad, I AM going to have to get that t-shirt made for Dad to wear during set-up "I am not allowed to talk to anyone until my booth is done"

MY biggest crisis so far since I arrived is I forgot my mouse....I 'dislike' touchpads

 I never invite anyone under false pretenses...

You all are welcome at any time...but you enter at your own risk! :)

I would imagine if you and Michelle were both here, Christie would make the trek up IF she is in the state. She is booked pretty solid from what it sounds like, doing all kinds of "teacher" stuff. Now clearly Dawn is not going to be able to travel up here at that time...but IF Elijah would cooporate, we could make a quick "we know it is going to be crazy, so don't mind us" trip to see the wee one and his brothers! Heck, we could even go see Dawn, even if she isn't in labor!! . And remember, Jchon and Dawn do baby delivery as a team, sans visitors, so going down after all the hoopla is a better idea.

I think June is going to be a 'whatever happens happens month" We all stay flexible and hope for the best!

 lol

Mom,that IS the question lol .Not sure if I can

Is everybody going to be down there at that time?

 Good heavens..

WE don't mind...if you guys can put up with us, we certainly can put up with all of you!

Maybe, if all the girls get together, we can convince Elijah to arrive while we are all here!!!

 hmmm

I guess I have to come up to OK ealier than planed with Blaize and the dogs. That means if Mom and Dad don`t mind? We`ll see what happens til then.

 Translation

NTC is Nation Training Center meaning Fort Irwin.  They will be going some time in December or January for 3 months.  Once they get back they get to take leave and then it is off to Iraq or where ever they are being deployed to. 

We can't wait to see you guys too  Simone!  I am just not sure that we  are going to get to.  Switching the dates won't work it would add almost $700 to the trip.  We will keep trying to figure out a way.

 nothing like a good cry first thing in the morning! :)

get is out of the way for the rest of the day! And being with family is the important thing! I wish our place was more conducive to having family over more often :( Some day....I am not giving up hope.

Anthony, can you translate your post into English? I am pretty sure I know wht you are saying, but just to clarify?

I have almost all the product ready to pack into the truck. We need to get another load of greenware fired and a few more poured, but it is coming together. Hard to think this time next week, the show will be over and I will be at work, desperately trying to catch up on emails!
