Roller Coaster Ride!

Our life is a little goofy right now. Last Friday Laurie had an hour and a half meeting with her assistant manager about her job and the hours they want her to work. They say they are changing her hours because her department is doing so well. So she has to go from working a 7 hour shift Monday through Friday to working an 8 hour shift having a day off during the week and working Saturdays. No big deal to most people, but the only time we can spend time together is on the weekends. With dad in the hospital 2 hours away, the only time we can go see him is the weekend. After another meeting and lots of talking, she doesn't have to start working on Saturdays until after dad gets home from Roswell.
To make things worse, Chris just found out that he will have to change shifts at work too. A new company (Titan X) just bought Valeo and is making some changes. We are hoping that in the long run the changes will be for the good, but right now we don't feel that way. We are both very thankful that we both still have jobs, but aren't too happy about not seeing each other at all during the week.

Ann at http://amothersminute.blogspot.com/ has tagged me to do a meme! The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 4 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answers.

Sidewalk Chalk and Ice Cream!

We had a picnic on Friday because Dad was home for the day. I thought Jerzie would have fun in our driveway with sidewalk chalk.

I'm not sure if Jerzie or Mommy had more fun.
Jerzie sat right in the middle of everything.

Want to play?

We think she used her jeans as an eraser. Her little jeans are now tie dyed!!
Uncle Chris took this picture of her. Doesn't that smile just crack you up?



We went for ice cream after dinner. The ice cream place we went to has baby cones.
Jerzie has been eating ice cream for a long time and watching her lick the cone was so funny.
Her daddy put some of his whipped cream on her cone. Boy did she think that was good.
Look at that face. Does it look like she enjoyed it or what?

Bloomin' Tuesday!


3 pictures of Bachelor's Buttons that are growing in our front garden.
We love the color of them.

If you've never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul by a flower in spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in bloom.

Card Shower!



On June 11th Dad will be 60! As most of you already know, he will be in the hospital for his birthday. We thought it would be neat to see how many cards he could get. We are asking you to send them to where Sharon is staying so we know that dad will get them.

Thank you in advance for helping make his birthday special.

Busy Little Chippy!

This little guy is under the bird feeder trying to get the seed the birds knocked out of the feeder.

He is digging for it.
Hey! what was that noise?
I'm too busy to care.
I think I've got all I can carry.
Yep that is all I can fit in my cheeks!
