Memorial Weekend

We just got back from our trip to Bishop, CA. The weekend there is celebrated at "Mule Days"/Memorial Weekend. They have Mule shows, concert, parade and lots of people. At the parade there was a 20 mule team pulling some huge wagons. We had a fun weekend visiting with Evin's family, I'm posting some pictures of Cash with his cousins and the mules. We got to spend some time with Grandpa Wayne, who cracked some jokes with us. He is in a nursing home in Bishop and seems to be doing good. The first picture is Cash and his new favorite pastime. He likes to have a picnic in the house, lately he's been putting his fireman hat on and playing fireman. Cash is very imaginative, he's always thinking of something to do. Well not much else to report.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there! Cash and I had a fun weekend together, we swam, we splashed, we played games but most of all we spent some quality time together. Evin is out of town and he got to spend Mother's Day with his mom. Most days I find it hard to switch out of mom mode. I'm sure Evin's noticed, sometimes I answer or react to him in the same way I speak to Cash. I guess it just happens when you are always in the presence of a child. I had a pretty good Mother's Day, it was nice relaxing Sunday.  I just wish Monday's didn't come so fast. On a positive note, our roads are finally getting paved.  They are really moving dirt around outside. Even better the city let us off the hook on paying for part of it. The bid came in lower than the grant so they have it covered.  It's a good thing I didn't really start any serious spring cleaning because there is more dirt covering everything now. I guess I will just have to postpone it, darn! Oh, for anyone that comes to my house in the next little while please ignore the dirty blinds and windows. Well I had better get my bookwork done so I can get my last night of sleep sprawled out in the middle of the bed before Evin's comes back and reclaims his part. I think I'm the only one who enjoys an empty bed to sleep in, oh by the way,Evin, I'm really looking forward to you coming home, I'm just keeping your side, um, warm, Love ya! Talk later.D

The Weekend

It's sunday and the weekend went really fast as usual. Camille and Gordon are here with their kids Carson and Carly.  Cash has had so much fun, we all have had a lot of laughs, I'm sure he'll cry when they leave which makes me feel bad for him being an only child at this time in his life but then again he doesn't know how good he has it, he doesn't have to share his stuff.  I'm pretty sure he's spoiled in that way.  He doesn't have anyone to blame things on so he blames it on Marli's little brother Dylan and he's not even at our house that much. I know who did it! Well I'm officially going back to work tomorrow, it will be part time and I will be building my appraisal business to the point where I can actually say I'm earning a living at it. Cash will have a sitter for 4 hrs a day. I hope he can have fun with her. He'll be starting preschool and soccer in September which should keep him busy. Evin is going to SanFrancisco next weekend for a metal shaping class. I hope he learns a lot and meets some good contacts. He's also going to see his mom for Mothers Day, she is excited to see him. I'm actually looking forward to spending some time with Cash as I teach him how to treat me on Mother's Day. He's so full of hugs and kisses everyday I'm sure I'll be showered with those. Well I had better go, Cash wants to play Wii and everyone is awake. Bye for now.D
