HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOBY!!!!!!!!!!! Today is Toby's birthday! I don't like his birthdays. We dont' celebrate a lot and it just means he is getting older. Today he is 9! :( I want him to be 3 again! But life is life. I love our dog so much!!! Besides Papa and myself.... no one loves Toby as much as Maddie! That is her dog and baby! Andrew certainly runs a close second...but he has two more dogs and is a teenager now... his interests have spread out. lol! Maddie adores Toby!

Wednesday water day is past and so was the squirt bottle fight! No matter how many times you tell the kids...NOT IN THE FACE.... they get ya right in the eye. I don't even know what my makeup looked like last night at the ball game. I forgot to check. But Veronica rode to the game with me again so she would have told me if it was too ghastly!
Last night was fun! The kids played each other in a softball game again. It was tied and then Karla's team ripped ahead at the end and won. Then we had to go play the fire station team across the field. The were ahead 16-4 at the top of the 7th..... and our team got 14 RUNS!!!! They got one at the bottom of the 7th.... so we won 18-17! What a game! Don and Lois came to both games!!! It was nice to see them enjoy themselves. I think everyone did! Dylan was awesome at helping me keep up on the scoring. It got crazy! Hits and runs and outs everywhere! lol!
We had to get a permit to hook a propane tank back up!!! Can you believe it? $140!!!! Papa spend one day driving to Port Townsend to get it and they wanted a check. So yesterday he took the check. Propane will be coming on Tuesday morning and we will be all set for whatever happens this winter. The Lord blessed us last year with next to no power outages.
Yesterday at work was good. Parents praising me on the job I am doing! Makes me happy! Sending out forms for evaluation with them.... need to know what we need to improve on. My evaluation is coming up.
I got to communicate with Andrew last night! He was at a motel in Mazatlan, Mexico and had wifi!!!! So nice to hear from him and tell him how much I love him and miss him. I know his parents sure do too!
I am closing with a posting of a few pictures.... have a great day!
