Good stuff

We are closing in on Open House #2.  Not much of a work week for me...work Monday, off Tuesday but clean the dr office, work Wednesday, then off until Tuesday except for cleaning Thursday night!!  Heading north on Friday morning.  and the weather looks like we may be able to enjoy it all including the beach!!

Koda started back at MDOT yesterday.  He is content.  Researching and reading up on joing the NDT world with his Uncle Bill - and former field of work of his Grandpa.  He has seriously considered this field before the Navy entered his dreams, but had lost that focus when he started persuing the Navy!!

Jake started football camp yesterday!!  They started right off the bat working him in as center again = happy boy!!  He had a great day but was so oober thirsty and feeling woozie when he got in the car!!  The boys needs to listen to his Momma!!  Drink lots of water.  Gatorade to the rescue.
Jake made me so proud last night...I will share....  as we were driving home after camp last night we witnessed a middle age man flip and wreck on a bicycle.  Jake shouted 'Stop Mom, we have to help him!!"  he was struggling to get on his feet and shake it off....I slowed up and before I knew it Jake was out and helping the man to his feet!!  I stayed in the car with cellphone in hand....asking him if he was ok?  He was a bit shook up (maybe didn't seem to be completely in his right mind??)  Anywho, we went on once he was stable on his feet walking about!!  Jake got in the car and sais "well,that felt good.  I did my good deed today!!" smiling with a BIG BIG smile.  I love this boys' huge heart!!

Steve II has started the summer running to and fro.....Mr. Social.  Since school has released last Wed...he has spent 2 nights at home!!  That child is eating me out of house and home and growing like a doggone weed!!  Help!!  I am still trying to talk Steve into playing football.....but so far, it's a no go!!  Darn.  I have seen his game face when wrestling....he could do it.  He wants to stay with wrestling and his social schedule for now.
( I think if the right influence came around he would break and play....he debates often!) lol

I better get scootin....laundry running,need to pick up a bit and get myself ready to head to Ann Arbor.....thinking we will be facing some big decisions today....to cut again or not cut!!

Do you read the comics?  The comic Zits usually fits our boys daily...check it out!!

2 graduations.... *sniff*sniff*

WOWZA!  Yesterday was awesome - Steven, my baby,has graduated and moved on to high school.  I am a bit weepy when I think about this...no more babies.  NO more school programs, field trips, etc.  NO more babies

Dakoda graduated...one open house done, starts work at MDOT Monday
Jakob finished the 9th grade...starting driver's training and football soon
Steven graduated from middle school yesterday and is now a high school freshman.  wow

I got a couple pics...I need to adjust the lighting  etc as they are pretty dark....I always struggle with pics in that school!!

No kids home.....Koda and Steve II are up north...Koda's first road trip (guided by Grandpa) and they are going big lake fishing with Uncle Tim tonight!

Awesome Open House

Thank you to all of my family and friends that stopped over on Saturday!!
Dakoda and Stephanie had an awesome open house.  
The wet weather held off until 6pm....thanks for all the prayers!!  The power pulled through!!
*********************************************************************
Thank you Hamlin family for traveling down to Jackson to see us....we all 5 loved to see you all!!  XXOO
Even Mr.Barton said "we need to get together with the Hamlin's again soon!!"  
Why did he and Kyle have to wait so long to find their common interests? lol


Pic #1 is the awesome quilt that my amazing Mom made for Dakoda.  It is super cool.
Am I the luckiest daughter or what?  I love you Mom!!  You are the best!!
Thanks to you too for all your help at the open house and for making that very long drive!!  XXOO
******************************************************************************

Scary...it is really very scary to let go and release a little of the line!!  Koda already seems to much more mature....we have spent so much time together this past week.....and he, in a nonchalant way has admitted TWICE that I was right!!  I was blown away!!  LOL  and one was thing I told him was about women!!  LOL  Yeah,Kod that might be one subject I know more about that you!  LOL
I love it.  lol  Now, more serious.....I am truly struggling a bit knowing that he is at that point in his life where I need to let him grow up and move on.  This is where I have to let go JUST a tiny more and let him make some decisions.....and for someone who is aware that she is a control freak...this is a little tough!  The thought of him making a mistake and me not being able to get him out of the mess.....makes me crazy!!  
LOL  ok, I feel better now that I have admitted my issue.  LOL

Happy Monday night.....back to work tomorrow.  :-(
