BUGS!!!

So last night I'm at a meeting at church. For those who don't know our church is directly behind my house. I left the kids w/big sister to eat and of course while I'm at the meeting the boys decide to come over to *play*.

Another lady from church had her boys there and they were on a mission to catch BUGS!!! As we are sitting in the meeting we here these voices....MOOOOM you HAVE to come here and SEE this!!! We run out to see what we HAVE to see and we find a new friend....this HUGE praying mantis.

The joys of being a railroad wife

Gary was able to come home last night and it was great to see him. As he's running around getting his laundry started and I make him dinner he decides sit down and do the bills. It then dawns on him......where's my cell phone?? After looking in the car and bedroom we find it....at the bottom of the washer!!

All his work #'s saved on it....and guess who now doesn't have a cell phone for a few days....yep me!!! Which is ok as then it gives me an excuse to not answer it :)

On the home front it's been a pretty uneventful first part of the week. Cheerleading was cancelled for Danyelle as it was too hot in the gym where they practice. Chase had his first tumbling class, and Danyelle's dance class starts back up tonight.

The rest of the week should be nice and quiet....we hope!!!

So I have officially joined the blogging world

I have seen all of my friends wonderful blogs and decided....what a fun way to communicate to all our friends and family. So I present to you all the debut of our family blog. I'll *hopefully* update with excitng and fun tales of what's going on in our life.
