our adventure some weekend!!!







On Thursday I built the boys a fort in the living room to sleep in. It was really neat (toot my own horn) this was the biggest and neatest one I've made for them. Of course while building it, Molly needed to see what was going on, and she climbed on the top blanket and knocked it all down!! Stinker. The boys posed for a few picture for me.














Saturday after Adam got out of work, he stopped and picked up one of Drew's friends and then the boys. When I got out, we took the 3 boys to Bay City and went bowling. Bryce did bumpers, and was SOO funny. We went to Alert lanes and after you throw your first ball, the t.v. screen shows you where to aim, so you can get your left over pins. Bryce would throw one, then run back to look at the t.v. He'd follow the arrow with his finger in the air, and say, "ok, I have to aim this way!!" My parents came to watch. My mom and I were laughing so hard at him. After he threw both balls, he'd run back, look at the t.v. to see what his score had jumped up to.




Drew and his friend Travis had to bowl on the lane with Adam and I. We bowled for an hr. Bryce probably bowled 3 or 4 games, since he was alone. We only got 1 and a half games in. Oh well. When it was getting down to the last few minutes, Drew and Travis jumped over to the bumpers and were farting around there. I do remember Bryce's best score was 104. I think Drew's was 86. Adam of course kicked everyones butt. My best was 122. LOL I'm not the best, but the boys sure had a great time. We need to take time to do that more often. It was lots of fun. After bowling, we took them to pizza hut where they were perfect angels. I think our waitress was new, and she seemed to be on the floor alone. It took a bit for our food, but she was great with refills and cleaning the table off. The boys were coloring and taking about girl friends in the 5th grade. We were getting lots of info from the silly boys, so no one seemed to mind that we waited awhile. It was a great evening.







On Sunday after work, Bryce and I finished his home work. Drew grabbed our huge pad of paper and made what he says is the worlds largest paper airplane. Here is a pic of it.



The other BIG, HUGE, GIGANTIC news from us is that I will pick the boys up from school on Wed (my day off) and take Drew to see Jim the barber in Reese. Drew wants to cut all his LONG hair off. I guess 3 of his friends cut theirs over spring break, so he says he wants to now. I think we will cut it all off once for the summer and then let it grow again! I LOVE his hair. We actually just got their pass ports on Thursday last week, and now he will look completely different then his pic on that. O well. I will make sure I take the camera and get before and afters!! This makes me SAD!!!


I finished my book on Saturday morning before work. It was really good. It has been a VERY long time since I've taken the time to read. I'd love to find another really good book. Maybe I will go look tomorrow on my day off. My mom-in-law has it now, then my mom wants to read it. If anyone else would like to read it, let me know. It is the mistaken identity book (about the 2 girls from MI that were in a bad accident and misidentified for 5 weeks)

a few things to add....

Today Adam was my hero and took care of the dead mouse I saw laying in the back yard, right outside of the garage door. I happened to look up yesterday morning while doing dishes, and saw it laying there. It was gross. Of course us chickens stayed in the house and laughed at him trying to scoop it up in the shovel. I think it was frozen under snow at one time.



Last week, Adam and I had a rough week, and were hardly speaking to each other. He did something that both shocked me, and hurt me. So while I was at work on Friday, I got a dozen long stem roses delivered to me.



Today while running errands, the boys picked out a flag football game at Target. We bought it, and made sure it was "cool" by daddy that we kept it. He said yes, so tonight Bryce and I played against Daddy and Drew...in our living room. I think Bryce and I won....but who's keeping track!!! It was fun and I was sweating!!! LOL WTG Bryce....we kick BUTT!! If it wasn't so cold outside, I may have allowed everyone to go out in the mud and play like the boys!!! BRRRRRRR too cold..maybe 1 day we will do that.

Anyways, that was our exciting day!!

Quick post about Bryce's soccer in Frankenmuth

We got a phone call last night from Bryce's soccer coach. He has a game wednesday night at 6pm. He still plays in the middle U6 fields. The fields are much smaller then the other ones. He is wearing either the gray or red like the older kids now, but the fields are much smaller still. I will have my cell on me, if anyone is coming and can't find us. This is the only game I know of right now, but will post more when we get schedule. My cell is 989-245-8684 Hope to see some family members there. He is also playing t-ball in Reese, Drew is playing in the majors in Reese and Adam is playing for Millington Up to Date (along with Tim BRO ~ IN ~ LAW) Schedules will be posted once we get them.

tidbits from the last few days

It's been a few days since I've had a chance to post on here. The boys are on Spring break this week, so it's been a bit crazy. I've walked on the days when I could find time, but not as often as I'd like to this week. Boys are home and I have to work around them now.

Both boys spent the night at "G" and Papa's on Sunday night. On Monday night, Drew went to his friends house for the night. Yesterday I dropped Bryce off to his friends house at 10:30am...he went with them to pizza hut for lunch, then to a movie and he spent the night!!! This is the first time Bryce has spend the night at a friends house without his brother!! Big step, but it means my BABY is growing up!!! AHHH!!!! Makes me very sad. I did talk to him last night, b/c his friends mom called me at work, and said he had a belly ache. I talked to him and asked if he wanted to come home, and he cried and said NOOO.....little stinker. I have talked to his friends mom this morning, and she said Bryce can come over anytime. He was VERY well behaved and they played together great!! That's my boy!! (I did tell him if he behaves, maybe they'd invited him back another time!) I am very proud of him.

Today they are going to sleep at Grandma KayKay and Grandpa RaRa's house. I have to work tonight again, then am off Thurs and Fri. Drew will be excited when he gets to Grandma's b/c while he was at his friends house, we went into Bay City with the beast and picked up a portable basketball hoop to have at their house. Drew has no idea!! Now they will have something fun to do outside while there!! OK, back to laundry!! Will post when I get time. Tomorrow we are going to get the boys passports!!

walking

Although the last few days, I haven't been able to get my walks in outside at home, I have been walking. Today, the boys, my self and my mom went to the shipsawanna (sp) in Mt. Pleasant. We didn't buy too much, but it was fun and did lots of walking.

When we got home, we all got it in the "beast" picked up "G" and Papa and went to great grandma's house. We picked up a few stones. The boys were each allowed to pick out a decent size one, as were Adam and I. We did need to be able to pick the stone up, get it in the truck and then back off when we got home. We also picked out a few smaller stones as well. THANKS GRANDMA for the stones!! We will think of Grandpa Stoney when we look at all the stones. We love you.

Friday

I didn't get a walk in today, but I did a bunch of extra stuff for my boss at work today, and in doing all that, I think I walked more then the regular 2 miles outside. I was way to beat after dinnr to get out, plus Adam and Drew had to go to town for Drew's 1st baseball practice. Adam said he did great too. Hope we have a fun exciting baseball season with both boys.

Thursdays walk

I had to work this morning, got out at about 2:15pm. Came home, checked e-mails, read mail, played with the dogs, played a game or 2 on the Internet. When the boys got home, we headed into Bay City to my parents house for dinner. My niece and I ran a few errands. After dinner, my mom and I went on her "usual" walk but she only walks about 1 mile - 3 times a day. This was the only time I had to get my walk in. The doggies didn't get to go tonight, oh well. I think tomorrow, while Drew is at baseball practice, maybe I will stay in Reese and walk thru town. Something different. I also got on the scale last night and then again tonight, and it says I lost 2 pounds. I'm not really 100% believing that, but I guess it's better then going up...LOL. Off to read and go to bed. Night folks.

Wednesdays walk(s)

Yuppers, on such a lovely day, I got 2 walks in. 1 this afternoon with Molly and 1 tonight after dinner with Daisey. So peaceful out here in the country. I am left to my thoughts and find my-self day dreaming the whole walk, especially with Daisey b/c she walks much better then Molly. She's also 4 years older too. In total, I walked 4 miles today!! I think I may get on a scale tonight too....just to see if this walking is working.

My stupid keyboard is sticking really bad...looks like we may need to purchase a new one soon. I have to push the keys down very hard, and they still don't always show up.......UGH

Night folks, I work the next 2 mornings.

~SHERRI~

Tuesdays walk

Yes, Daisey and I did go on our 2 mile walk yesterday morning...WOW was it windy...oh well. We froze, but were bundled up quite a bit. Not really cold, but very windy. Anyways, just needed to get this post in....going for my walk today, very soon.
