Happy birthday Jared!

YESTERDAY:

I blew it.  I didn't get on yesterday so I didn't post my grandson's birthday greetings and pictures!  He turned 9 yesterday and he said he had a good birthday!  He had one of his favorite dinners last night and won their baseball game.  He had a party with 3 of his friends last weekend.  Does a 9 year old birthday get any better than that????

Here is the picture I posted for  him of his last nine years.  I sure love this boy!!!!

We had some nice visitors yesterday.  Niece Hilary, great niece Savanah and her boyfriend stopped by on their way back to Forks.  Savanah looked so beautiful... she got her braces off!  She was pretty before but I am sure she feels much better now. :D

We went to Jordy's game in Kingston yesterday.  Lauren went with us but didn't even get out of the van.  It was so stinking cold!!! There was a breeze going through too.  My knees were hurting from being cold.  Dylan showed up at the game too!  Not so much to see Jordy....but a girl on the Kingston team. lol!  Come to find out she wasn't playing anyway. But it was good to see Dylan.  We only stayed until the 4th inning and then came home to warm up after a stop at McDonald's.  The game was 4-3 when I walked off the field to the van...but Jordy text me later and the score ended up being 27-26!!! Jo lost by one point.


TODAY: 

Got up around 6:30 and took a shower.  Papa and I went shopping.  We went to Albertson's and got some pork chops for $1.99, some bacon, hamburger, steaks, and produce.  Then we went to the dollar store and got some dog toys, cleaner and tablets.  Stopped at burger king for breakfast sandwiches. Then went to Walmart for the rest of the groceries.  It is getting so hard for us the older we get. His legs were killing him by the time we finished as was my back.  Then we come home and unload all the groceries and put them away.  We buy a months worth so we have 2 carts of food and paper products. Crazy.  Papa is napping now. I put a new shower curtain in our bathroom and a bathmat. And I just paid bills.  I got appointments for our animals to get their nails clipped next week.  I am thinking it would be nice to go to Jonah's baseball game.  He has one on Saturday too.  Jonah is Lauren's neighbor and one of her best friends.
Today is Earth Day.  I have great respect for this earth and what God has given us. I am not a "tree hugger" and wouldn't risk my life for a tree.  We sure have the most beautiful country around here and I do love the trees and Pacific Northwest.  We recycle and reuse.  When I taught the kids I also learned a lot about Earth Day.  So happy Earth day!

A few pictures of our area for our Georgia and out of state friends:

And my beautiful born and raised Northwest kids!!!!

TOMORROW:

It seems like a busy day tomorrow.  But we're going to have to narrow it down to one event.  We are going to go to Riley's Spring concert.  She is singing a solo.  She has the prettiest voice. I will have to try and record it.  Lauren has a game we will miss.  She has plenty more games.  This will be Riley's last concert in elementary school.  I am excited to see her perform.

Well, Ryan just left with the micro cell device.  I guess I have to buy my own. :(   He doesn't have good cell service at his house either so he needs it.  He bought it when he was living here for the month because we get such bad service.  So if you try to text or call my cell.... good luck until I get my own.  Lauren will be happy to have service at her dad's though.

Have a great rest of the week!
