Fire Season!

I forgot to add in the last post how proud of Doug I am! He went to fire school and has now passed the big test to be an engine boss. He is way excited. I am excited for him, but I still don't like Fire Season. I worry so much about him and miss him so much. I know it is something that he loves so I guess I am in for many more years of Fire Season!!!!! Love you all, TJ

Catching Up!

Sorry I haven't updated for awhile, busy busy busy!!!! Well, the puppies are now 6 weeks old. They will be going to their new homes on next Thursday. All but little "Faith". We aren't sure when she will be going to Iowa! She is so tiny and still really doesn't like to eat. i know that sis will bottle feed her if that's what it takes!!! She is going to be so spoiled. Well, for the fantastic five that I am in charge of: Lys is so excited for Costa Rica, I wonder if we will ever get to her focus on anything else!!! She dyed her hair (bangs) purple for the trip! Meg is up for a couple days, or maybe longer, she hasn't decided. I love it when she comes to visit. The boys are enjoying summer, but are already bored!!! What will I do about that? I have lots of cleaning, but they don't seem to want to do that! And Dax, well, he is in 7th heaven. His dad came home from fire school yesterday, and he thinks that he is the luckiest person in the world. He is taking me to Kung foo panda tonight! I love being a mom and getting to share in the most wonderful times of their lives! I will post more pics soon. Love ya all TJ

Megan came to visit!!!!!

Meg came to visit for the weekend. I am posting pics of her new hair!!!!! It is bright. I loved having her here, and she had alot of fun (I hope.) She went to the Doctor and found out she has a throat infection and also some thing that makes her tongue swell up. (will always have it, depends on what she eats and stuff) We miss her! Yes, her hair really is all those colors.

Baby Kessa

This is Markessa Dawn. She is my niece, grand-daughter? Don't know which. Sometimes her mom calls me mom and sometimes Aunt Tammy. She is so cute. She was born on Mother's Day and finally got to come home from the Hospital today. Of course, I was there so I could snuggle her.

How should I feel about that?

Well, I thought I would update. Where do I start? My little Meg just text me to tell me her hair is now purple and blue??? How should I feel about that? I guess as long as she still has hair I should be fine right? Well, that leads us to Lys's question Sunday night, Can I dye my bangs purple for Costa Rica? How should I feel about that? What is up with colored hair???? Can't they just get over this stage? Well, the boys still have and want their own hair color! Today is my nephews 10th birthday!!! Happy B-day Steven!!!! I wish I could celebrate with you!!!!!! Steven I love you, and I hope you have a wonderful day!!!!!! You are getting so big, I remember driving all night long to get to your house when you were born!!! I get just as excited now to see you as I did then!!! He shares his birthday with some very special people to me, Hailey (She is my buddy!!!!) She loves to come and hang out with me at work, and she cracks so many jokes that I laugh and laugh. And of course Miss Sami!!! Miss Sami became a mom on Mother's Day to little Markessa Dawn. Hopefully Sami will be bringing her home soon, she was a preemie, and they are taking it one day at a time!!!! Well, Doug informed me last night that fire season starts next Thursday! Yuck. He is leaving for 1 week next Thursday, and then back for a couple days and then on to Arizona for 2 weeks. At least he waited til the day before school gets out to leave me! I get so nervous for fire season, but I know that he loves doing what he does and making a difference. Megan is coming up for the weekend (Yeah) I haven't seen her forever. I will get some pics of her multi-colored hair, and get them posted. I don't know if I ever wrote about her making the high school cheer squad!!!!! She is so awesome. Well, I better get back to life, )Or life off of the computer. Wish me luck next week with Doug gone, and Lys wants everyone to remember only 15 days til Costa Rica!!! Love you all, TJ
