O'Malley our Lazy Cat

8/11/09 These TWO pictures of O'Malley is typical on any given morning. I should have posted without them in a slide, but oh, well.

8-8-09 Getting ready to pack.

Our dining room has become the "packing room". I have collected boxes, bubble wrap, and tape. My neighbors have even saved their newspapers for me. I hope I never have to do this again!!!

8-5-09 Day 2: All painted

Day two and all the caulking was painted all around the house. It looks quite nice now. You know how paint wears, especially near the ground level? I did not take pics of the back of our shed. I had him do some scraping and painting there, also.

8-4-09 1st day: Simple Home Repairs

Getting your home ready for selling requires some repairs, yard work, etc. Our handyman caulked and trimmed some bushes and trees on the first day.

8-5-09 Bryce being tended at Nana's House

Bryce was dropped off this day by his Daddy around 8:30 a.m. Bryce's day care lady was on vacation. It was a delightful morning for Nana and Poppa as he was investigating the whole house and even chased O'Malley a few times. We walked around the outside of the house 4 times as well. He got to watch the garbage truck and the driver even waved to him. I think he had a fun time. He made us laugh a lot that morning!

Last of July Memories

July was a fun month, as seen by some of my previous picture posts. This was taken on the last day in July. Bryce goes for the boots pretty quickly when he visits. I enjoyed picking him up from his day care a few times, then taking him home and waiting for Mommy to come and put him down for his nap. Makes me feel so good when around the kitchen and into the living room of the day care lady's home he appears and then shouts "NANA" with the biggest grin on his face! Wayne and I also enjoyed visiting with our friends on some Friday evenings eating pizza at a local Pizza place. We invited the missionaries over for dinner the last Sat. in July. They were really nice. It has been a good month. But, too hot!!!!!

Mike's Birthday Party

Family and friends of Mike got together on Sunday July 12th to celebrate Mike's 22nd birthday! (His actual birthday was on the 10th). We enjoyed each other's company and ate some great food. I didn't get many good pics, but hope you like these.

Where did the month of June go?

Dear family and friends, The month of June went by so fast..Here are some of our June Memories: We went to a Birthday party for Alexis and saw all the family; O'Malley got his nails cut; I tended Bryce a couple of times; weathered a terrible wind and rain storm; went with Dori to a farm and bought some rhubarb, then made a strawberry/rhubarb pie. It was so darn good. Even the neighbors I shared it with agreed. O'Malley had his yearly comprehensive exam and we found out his heart murmur has not gotten any worse from his last exam last year (good news). Picked strawberries with Dori, Brian and Bryce at Bagenstos farm. I had a dental appointment and found out another tooth has to be surgically removed (bad news). Visited with the Hess family. Enjoyed eating pizza with friends one Friday night; ate the most delicious BBQed corn on the cob with the Pasero's at a farm on Suavie Island the day before Father's Day. Shared dinner a couple of times with the Pasero's. Went visiting teaching on the same day that my visiting teachers came to visit me! All done in one day.... So that is our June in a nutshell!
