Lots of interesting stuff happening since my last post....

Hmmmm, where to begin? Well, Ty went to the Monroe City High School Prom on Saturday!!! WOW!!! Hard to believe that he is 18 years old!!!! Where does the time go? Here are a couple of pics of him and his date Kelsey ~ she is a Sophomore in Shelbina. I don't think that they are dating but not real sure of the situation ~ this is the first time that we met her. She was a really sweet girl and cute too ~ hard to believe that she is only a Sophomore!!!!

Ty leaves on May 29th for South Carolina where he will complete his Basic Training. Then he will come back to complete his Senior year in high school. Then back to South Carolina next summer to complete his Advanced Individual Training.

The boys who are being accused of robbing our house had their preliminary hearing yesterday. I haven't heard yet how that went. Hopefully, later today the Missouri Court web-site will be updated with that info!!!

Oh, we had some action in the bedroom last night!!! Now, get your mind out of the gutter ~ it's nothing like that!!! I was peacefully sleeping when I am suddenly awakened by my husband screaming and flailing his arms about. He then jump up on his feet in the bed and hopped down switching on the bedroom light!!!! I was laying there dazed and confused ~ like WTH? He "claims" that he felt/saw a mouse crawling on his arm!!! Huh? I finally rolled out of bed and stood there as my husband frantically looked under sheets, pillows and blankets. He went into the kitchen and got a mouse trap and brought it back in the bedroom with a flashlight as he looked under the bed ~ claiming to see mouse poop!!!! Whatever ~ I think he was just dreaming. WHY would a mouse be in our bed when he could be in the kitchen feasting on whatever he might find in there? Oh, and the mouse trap? Was there a mouse in there this morning? NOPE!!!!

Rylee and I took a little road trip to Quincy on Monday. We went to Hobby Lobby and stocked up on some of their sale items ~ paper, adhesive & bling!!!! We then went to The Dollar Tree and found some really cool flower stems that I was able to take apart and have these HUGE flower blooms for my scrapbook pages ~ I wish I had picked up a few more of those but I wasn't real sure if it would work out or not!!! I also picked up a few items with plans to "alter" them. I have been working on cleaning up my SB room this week but I am kind of on hold until this months ribbon kits get posted to see what I will be working with this month!!!

We might need another computer in the house!!! Bradley has discovered youtube.com This could be a problem. He wants me to log him on the computer each evening so he can watch youtube ~ this might start cutting into my computer time!!!

Well, that is all for now ~ off to check my mouse trap (LOL)!!!!

Where does the time go?

TWO WHOLE months since I have blogged? I am such a bad, bad blogger!!!! I promise to try & start being better about updating my blog. Hmmmm, so what is new in my neck of the woods? Well, it has been 2 months since I have blogged so I'm sure lots of new stuff going on.....

Some of the best news recently is that the local police department has arrested 2 individuals in the local burglaries and have arrests pending on at least 2 other people. So that is exciting news for me!!!! That and the fact that my Dr. has prescribed Zoloft have helped me sleep a little easier on the nights when Bradley is gone ~ ahhh drugs. What will actaully happen to them I do not know but they are both being charged with a Class C Felony so I guess that is a good thing. The sad part is they are so young ~ only 19 and 21!!!! The 19 year old is still in high school!!!! So sad to get mixed up and in trouble at such a young age!!!!

In other news, Ty joined the National Guard!!! He is currently doing weekend drills. He leaves on May 29 for South Carolina to complete Basic Training for 9 weeks. Then he will continue weekend drills his Senior year of high school. After graduation he will return to South Carolina for his Advanced Individual Training.

This weekend is Prom and Ty will be going ~ he said that he is wearing an all white tux and his date will be wearing a midnight blue dress. I will post pics next week sometime.

Saturday we will also be visiting Rylee's pre-school for next year. Of course, I have seen it before since this is where Lance attended 1 year of pre-school. But Rylee is sooo excited!!! She cannot stop talking about going to school and her teacher, Mrs. Walker. I have been preparing her for being dropped off and staying at school with the other kids and playing then I will pick her up later. She acts like she understands this concept and is OK with it BUT we will have to wait & see. Her classes will be Mon & Wed 8:30 am - 11 am and there will be 5 boys and 5 girls in her class!!! I think I am almost as excited as she is ~ for a little bit of mommy time each week!!!!

In other news ~ I attempted golfing for the very first time in my life!!! My mom was in town and had her golf clubs in the car and she wanted to play the golf course where their new house is. So, we hit some balls on the driving range and mom played 9 holes of golf. Rylee had fun playing in the sand traps and driving the golf cart!!! We had a really fun girls day out!!! Hopefully, once mom gets moved here we can have more fun girl days together!!!

Well, that is all for now. I promise to post more often and post some recent pics of the kids soon!!!
