Randomness!

This week hasn't been anything too special. Actually, we have been recovering from the stomach virus. Yes, Jackson passed his germs along to many of us in the family! Byron as you know discovered it Sunday morning. Sunday night as I crawled in bed I felt a little different myself. Monday I awakened not feeling myself at all. Thankfully, I just had the aches and pains with nausea. As long as I stayed still I was fine. That is exactly what I did. Keely also got sick during the night at my mom's. Tuesday it hit my mom. Jaycee, Kiley, and my dad have somehow missed the germs. Which I am thrilled that at this point I have by passed having to clean up throw up from both kids!

Byron and my dad went to Oklahoma City,OK this evening. Its the high school boys all-state games. Byron was pretty excited to be going. Its good bonding time for them as well. Not like they don't have a lot of that already since they work everyday together, but I am glad that they get along so well that they can even have some fun together outside of work!

The kids and I played in the water sprinkler tonight. The kids had fun and the lawn got watered. Can't beat that. We definitely miss our lawn in Nooksack. It was so thick and green and pretty. When its over 100 everyday and you haven't had rain for I don't know a month that doesn't help at all! So we water it just so it will last a little longer for the dogs! Eventually, we will have a great looking lawn, but it wasn't worth the effort this year with the kids. Hopefully, by next year I will be able to trust Jackson a little bit more and so I won't have such limited time to be out in the yard.

For this weekend, its my 10 year class reunion. I am excited to see my classmates. I hope that some will show up that I haven't seen for at least 8 years. Its amazing how life changes when you graduate high school. Some of the girls, I was with everyday since kindergarten I couldn't even tell you what they are doing. Its so sad. I really do hope that they are there Saturday. It actually starts tomorrow night but we decided not to attend since they are meeting for drinks at a bar. Not really our cup of tea or I guess our shot of alcohol is this case. Also, Velma has the annual Velma Picnic. I believe it started Wednesday night. Its a rodeo/ carnival. On Saturday morning they have a parade. I will be taking the kids to that. Jaycee is definitely pumped about it. She so remembers Everson Days parade so I hope they don't slack on the candy throwing at this one. She might be a little disappointed. After the parade, our class is having a family lunch (meaning kids are welcomed) at our school. For the evening events we are having dinner at the Chuck Wagon! Yummy! I look forward to the busy weekend and re-uniting with my classmates. It will be fun to see them as parents and to meet their children. So look for pictures!

Oh, yeah we are 4 weeks away from being in Washington! Marilee corrected me yesterday. For some reason I thought it was 5 weeks! I was super excited to know that I had added that wrong! Today, I began looking through the kids' clothes. Temp. wise its going to be quite different for them, especially in the evening. I think we have enough stuff leftover from early Spring that I won't have to do any major shopping for Fall clothes yet. I really wanted to start laying stuff out today, but I made myself stop. We are so ready to see our family, friends, and to have a break from the heat!
