Not so happy Father's Day

I received the call I have been waiting on for 12 years, Trent died. So for Father's Day weekend I got to tell my daughter that her father died of a drug over dose. Not exactly what I had in mind for the weekend.

Everyone that knew him was waiting and hoping that he would get his life together and be there for Kylea. But now it is to late.

I went to go see my ex in laws yesterday and it was terrible. The funeral is on Wednesday so Kylea and I will be going up there tomorrow night.

Kylea is doing ok, actually she is doing better than I am. I never thought it would hit me so hard but it is. I will be fine, it is just going to be a rough few days.

Here is a note to everyone out there, please take care of your kids.

Green Belt

I think we have found a new place to hang out at. The greenbelt. I have no idea exactly where we were at, just somewhere around 360. Kylea has a new friend that is into going outside and doing stuff like that. I am excited because it will get Kylea out more.

Kylea caught some tadpoles in her water bottle and managed to get a few minnows. We put them in the tank with her little turtle and the damn thing ate all the tadpoles and 3 of the minnows in one night. We might be going back to get more, it will give the turtle a bit of a variety to eat and give us a reason to go hang out more.

We are planning on going this weekend and actually hanging out for the day. Swimming, sun, sandwiches, it should be a good time. We will take an ice chest, and not even worry about having to leave. Shawn and his daughter are going so that will be good. Kylea will take her new friend for sure if not another one. Hmmmm, maybe I will see about taking Sue Ellen. That is something to think about.

Anyway, here are some pictures that Shawn took while we were out on Sunday. I showed Devin and he is excited to be able to go see it this weekend as well.

Here is one of me and Kylea trying to get tadpoles and minnows.

Boxing class

It is interesting alright. They keep switching the boxing teacher for Devin's class and they are all way too nice. They need someone that can keep all the kids busy the whole time. Right now Devin is doing hand stands while the teacher is showing another kid some techniques. I told the teacher he needed to keep him busy the whole time, but so far he has not taken my advice. Poor guy.

Kylea and I are in the same class. She hates it right now. But it was her idea and I signed up for three months. So she has to stick with it until that is over at least. As of right now Kylea told me that the neighbor girl is going to sign up for the classes too. I will see that when it happens. I hope she does, it will get Kylea more motivated to work out in the class and I won't be wasting my money. Please she does no other activities so I would like for her to stick with something for once.

Kylea is still struggling with school, but more because she learned how to work her teachers and get out of paying attention and doing work. She is too smart for her own good.

Devin is at the end level for 1st grade and has been there since about mid year. Not any issues with him in school. I think this school is going to be a good one for him.

Not a whole lot new with me. Work is keeping me busy, but it is interesting what we are doing and I am liking it more then I was a few months ago.

That is about all for now...

Been busy and lazy

Trying to get into a new routine but not having much luck with it. At some point I will be able to blog more again.

Here is Devin setting up his new board. That is concentration!

Here is Devin flying on the right.
The newest member of our family, Lady.
It is very hard to find a picture where Kylea is not puckering up her lips.
Kylea has an idea!


Finally one with no puckered lips!

Been a month

And I still do not have time to post very much. I am about to have a few days off and I will try then.

Love you guys!!!

Missing teeth

The day before he lost his second tooth.

It finally came out the next day while he was eating.

The toothless wonder right out of the bath!
The "Tooth Fairy" did not forget to take his tooth the same night like she did when he lost the first one. LOL Sometimes she falls asleep and forgets. I wonder what will happen if he loses the other bottom one at his dad's house?

At some point I will start to update more regularly. Need to get a home computer first and stop using my work one.

It is going to be party time!!!!

At least for Kylea. I sure hope my friend comes through to DJ or I am going to have one mad (not so) little girl on my hands. She will be 12 on the 4th.
