Subway

This is a funny story......

In the back of your mind you have to wonder is my son smart? or is everyone out there "not so smart!!!"

Keigan turns in his application at Subway. He speaks with the manager. He asks him a few questions. Why he wants a job at Subway and a few math problems. Counting back correct change that sort of thing. He asks specifically, which bills and coins would you hand out for the change 6.45. Keigan says a 5.oo bill, a 1.00 dollar bill, a quarter, and 2 dimes. the guy was impressed.(remember he manages a Subway) Keigan was the first kid that did not say 6 1.00 bills. Keigan thought that was so funny. Why would I hand out 6 ones? He went in for an interview last night. The other kids that had an interview tonight did not show.

I'm not sure what this guy is waiting for. Does he realize Keigan is in Ap math? What percentage of kids who work at Subway can count back change?

I love it when I give the cashier enough money to get a quarter back and I get a blank stare, or when they hit the incorrect amount in the til and they have to come up with the amount on their own. Basic math people!!!

Hopefully this will all work out. I'm voting for the job at Basha's. They will be hiring in a week or so. We shop there all the time. If he gets the job our family will get a discount on groceries!!!!

Frog and Toad

I have tried for 2 days to get a good picture of these guys. Without taking them out of the tank...

For the moment this is the best I can do.

Before Kyler went to school today I heard him say. "Frog and Toad I love you".

I hope they live awhile. I can tell you they love crickets. The small ones. Unfortunately I can not give them the ones in our yard. They are too big. Shucks, I have an endless supply!!!

It's Official!!!

Keigan is now an official Arizona driver!!! He got his license today. He had to wait 6 months from getting his permit. Since we did that so late in the game, this seemed to take forever.


I am no longer scared to have him on the road. He does a good job. I am a little worried about his reaction time to other drivers. It's a big thing to finally get to the point where one of your kids is on the road all by themselves.

I am excited about our new journey in parenthood. I am headed towards new territory and have no idea what to do. I will follow my gut and pray it all works out. Oh, and hope that everything I have taught my kids all these years stick!!!

The past few days....

I realized that I have not taken Brenlie to the park much. I'm sure it is because of the heat. I do not like to go to my car let alone purposely stand outdoors when it is so warm out. She loves it. I can not wait to start taking her more.







This picture says it all. She was so excited. Her little hands white knuckled around the chains. The expression on her face was priceless!!!



Of course I was giving Brenlie so much attention... Kelsey was in her swing yelling CHEESE!!!! That was her subtle hint to include her in the whole picture taking thing.



This weekend was spent at the soccer field. I told Kyler he should go because there is so much to do and kids everywhere to play with. So he went and brought his bug catcher. The first night he caught a huge grasshopper and a moth. We proudly brought them home. To my surprise he let them go in the morning. He will catch more. I agreed and off we went the next day to watch soccer.

Not more that 5 minutes on the field he catches a toad. Exciting!!! Then this kids had to leave and he has another toad in his hands. Now we have 2!!! Frog and Toad. That are their names. We brought them home. Bought them an aquarium and set up a tank. We bought them baby crickets and they ate them. I know you are all thinking just say no. I could not find it in my heart to tell him no. He LOVES them. He will tell you which one hops more and who is more friendly. They are "wild" right mom? So we will see. If you are wondering ...yes we still have the tortoise Kilean brought home awhile back. Who feeds it? Well that would be me most of the time.

The toads are small. I will get pictures tomorrow...



climbing trees



I'm not sure why they always want to get into trees. Are they monkeys?




Oh by the way the girls came in 2nd in their tournament. I did not have my good camera, so I am without soccer pictures this time. But do not worry this is just the beginning:)

My reunion...

First of all I think my idealistic view of class reunions may have been a little off. I have watched one too many movies for sure. I had huge expectations. I assumed everyone after 20 years would have grown up, had kids, and would be generally happy. Not so sure about that. Some grew out, some were very proud of the fact they had no kids, were never going to have them, and loved their cat!!!!

I'm sure my face said it all when meow was my only response. I wonder if that cat will provide any good grandchildren. Or if it get presents under the tree, or if it decorates Easter Eggs, or dresses up for Halloween. Meow

I did have a good time with a select few. We ate before we got there. I was pretty thankful about that since the food was good enough for the cat. (OK I am having too good of time teasing my cat friend....acquaintance.)



This is my great friend Heather!!!! I had the best time ever with her. She is the reason why we went.



Denise and Nyla were the other 2 reasons why I went. I am so glad I got to see everyone. The rest were all fun to watch.

Overall I am glad I went. I will not attend another. That is for sure. There is a few that would still like to get together, so we will do it on our own..



This is Lake Washington. We are on the floating bridge. Seattle is so pretty. I love this city.



This is Bellevue. Not Seattle. This city has grown up so fast. When we were driving home on the 405 I had to do a double take. Are we in Seattle or Bellevue? Big changes since we have been gone.

Frank and I really enjoyed our visit. At one point in time he wanted to move back. If it was up to him we would. Then Sunday came.



This was all day.....



Then he said, I think there are some things in Arizona we would miss. Yes Frank like the sun!!!!

They remodeled the airport and put these in. Kyler would have gone nuts over these.

Momma Mia

I went to the movies last night and saw Momma Mia.

You see this guy? He's a hunk right?



James Bond 007..... cool and collected?

I agree....not so sure about his "musical" efforts in Momma Mia. Stick to action my friend!!!!

Back to the movie. I liked it. Growing up, I listened to Abba all the time. Then awhile back the A TEENS redid a ton of Abba material. The girls were into that and were impressed I knew the words. Am I cool or what?

I would recommend this movie for the girls. No men allowed. They will not appreciate the acting. Or the singing for that matter. I laughed and that is all that counts right? Thanks girls for a night out!!!!

I'm Back!!!!!!!

I had a great time at my reunion. I will talk about that and post pics tomorrow. But I am so very excited I got my computer back today. I am so behind on everything because of it. I now know how much I rely on my computer and email.

So I get home.... my computer is locked up. In normal fashion no one knows what I am talking about. I used it yesterday... Worked fine for me. So.... am I the only one who can not get it to work? I dunno Mom. Does anyone know!!!!

So the next day I find Kilean. Did you use my computer? Yes she says. And it did the funniest thing. I was using it and all of a sudden bugs were ALL over the screen. I just turned it off!!!! I don't think it works. Really?

So when you get a virus, there are bugs all over your screen. Is that a sick joke? I was lucky enough to not loose a thing.

Now it is fine tuned and fast. We has 264 spyware infections. I am looking at it like a car. How long can you use it until it may need a tune up? I have had that computer for quite awhile. So that is where I have been. Lost!!! Without my computer.
