Prayers

We found out that my grandpa is not doing well. It has been a few days of ups and downs with him. He was just transferred to another hospital and we thought he was doing better. Apparently he crashed tonight and they had to do cpr on him. They just rushed him into emergency surgery for his heart and I am freaking out. There is nothing I can do and that sucks. And my husband isn't here which makes it worse. Please keep him in your prayers!

Farmer Bumps

Anyone think that Bumps is going to be a farmer? Yeah, probably not in his Gap clothing that his momma doesn't want to get dirty. Hey Baby T, is the song true? Do you think that my tractor's sexy?

Been way to Long

This is the first time I have been able to access this since M left and we headed back to see family. Bumps is doing good and growing like a weed. He seems to learn new words everyday and also has many words that he says that we have no clue what he says. He is really enjoying time with his grandparents and is very spoiled. He is sitting with his Aunt S right now reading a book and just loving it. I guess since I never give him any love, anyone but me is a good thing. :) He did get very upset today since papa's boat wouldn't start and he couldn't take a ride. Poor bumps, so sad for him!!! I will be able to update now since I have figured out how to log into this. I had forgotten my username and password!

#3

M just left for deployment #3 a few minutes ago. I am actually handling better than I thought I would. I think that I have had so much time to mentally prepare for it that I was almost ready for it. That and the fact that you dread it for so long it is like a weight being lifted off your shoulders when they leave. Now we just have to plow through these 9 weeks and then have a great summer together!

New Bed

Here is a pic of the new headboard set in our bedroom. I took a pic for a friend, so I thought I would post it since we are proud of it.

Sad

So here is my sad life tonight. I am not the biggest fan of American Idol in any way, shape, or form. M is, so I have been watching it with him and now I have started getting into it. Well, one of my favorite people went home tonight all because she sang Shania last night, who can't sing that well anyway, but people love her. I even told M and one of my friends that whoever sang Shania would go home tonight and I was so right. So now I am just going to be sad for about a day and get over it.

I LOVE Mex-i-can!!!

We have a bean dip addict in the house and it isn't daddy. . .

Mmmm. . .Ice cream all for me!

Holy cow what is this??? My mom and dad actually had the guts to buy me something like this? Let's see how messy I can get with it. . . Be prepared grandparents. . .be very prepared. . .

Science Museum

Here are some pics of Bumps playing at our local science musuem. He loves the water tables as you can tell!

Deadliest Catch

WA-HOO!!! M's and my show is returning this year!!! Deadliest Catch is the cooliest show ever! If you have never seen it, you have to watch it. It will give you a whole new respect for the guys catching all that wonderful king crab that we eat!!!

More Refueling Pics

As requested, here are some more pics of M refueling planes. These are pics of them refueling A-10's over Crete. There is also a pic of the plane that he was flying over there. Enjoy!

Horrible Night

I had a craft show this weekend at one of the local highschools that M and I went to set up for tonight. We get to the craft show and had to wait for 20 minutes to get our booth and all that jazz. When we finally get to talk to someone, I find out the booth I was supposed to have is no longer mine. Apparently someone prepaid for it last year, yet they hadn't shown up for the show this year. But I can't have the booth since they had prepaid. So I am already super pissed off about that.

Well then M and I go back out to the car to go and get my candles. We get into the car and M notices that the armrest is up and asks me if I put it up and I said I didn't think so. Then I look in the backseat and notice one of my candle boxes is open and I ask him if he did that and he says no. Then I notice the big box of candles that I had purchased earlier that day wasn't there (300 in candles). I turn the other way and the window, where bumps seat is, has been completely busted out. There is glass everywhere. The took my box of candles, my Spokandle sign, a bag with a dry erase board and magazines, and ONE of my good shoes. ONE of them. M was livid and I was hysterical. We told the craft show people, who were awesome, and we called the police. Oh, you want to know what the police said do you? IT'S NOT A PRIORITY!!!!! Call back in the morning and file a report. Fucking assholes. I hate cops anyway and this just added to it.

So I am no longer doing a craft show this weekend and the insurance people are working on our claim. They are calling us in the morning. I am just so upset right now and there is nothing I can do about it!!!!!

Mister Fabulous

The shirt says it all. . .

Knossos

Here are some pics from M's trip to Crete about a month ago. These are pictures of the ruins at Knossos. I am beyond jealous that he got to see these because we talked about it a lot in my art class during college and I really want to see them for myself. The only part of history that I like is the art, what can I say? And no, the guy in the pic is not M.

Fun Stuff. . .

Here are pictures of M refueling a B-2 bomber last week. Damn my husband does cool shit on a daily basis. Ever wonder if any of the booms (the guys who control the refueling device) ever want to moon the guy in the other plane. I mean they are close enough that you can pick their boogers. Hmmm. . .makes you wonder. . .

Bowling Bumps

Here are some pics of bumps bowling on Sat night. He had two spares and a strike, go figure. . .

TV Announcers

Last night M and I were flipping through college basketball games like we normally do and we came upon the UCONN/Notre Dame game. One of the players for UCONN happens to have the last name of Gay. So as we are watching a bit of this game, he makes a really good play. Then the announcer says "I really like how UCONN set up that Gay penetration." We about lost it. I mean, seriously, the poor guy probably didn't know that he was even saying it, but man oh man, that guys friends are never going to let him live that one down. I mean, we haven't stopped talking about it all day and we don't even know the guy. . .

Ahhh. . .Cutie Bumps

Here are a couple of pics from when he was playing around in his favorite chair last week. This is before we gave him haircut over the weekend.

Cell Phone

Bumps has always been obsessed with my cell phone, but now he has taken it to a whole new level. He has learned that it. . .plays music!!!! So now he grabs my cell phone and pretends to talk on it to his daddy and then M will actually call it. When the ringer starts playing (either the KU fight song or the Air Force fight song) he starts dancing in circles too it. When it stops, he just stops and looks at it like he is saying "what the heck just happened?" Then it starts up again and he is good to go, dancing in more circles, and then falling on his ass shortly there afterwards. . .
