....them NASTY Yellowjackets!!!

I was cooking dinner tonight while Jayven, Shaylei, & Jen were outside. All of a sudden Jayven came running to Jen screaming & crying. Jen thought he hit his arm on something. Shaylei came up to give him a hug & saw the yellowjacket on his back stinging him through his shirt. Jen brought him in the house only to see another one on his neck stinging him. That one left the stinger in his neck. Then Shaylei came running in screaming & crying with a yellowjacket on her back stinging her. Then Jen started screaming something was in her hair & was trying to get it out & it stung her on the neck. Then Shaylei starts screaming something was on her again! Another one was in her ponytail & Jen got stung on the finger trying to get it out. I got all of them in pieces of paper towel took them outside to make sure they were DEAD..!!! Only to come back in the house to see Shaylei trying to swatt another one with the fly swatter. Dang...that had my heart pumping... They went into Shaylei's room cuz she wasn't sure if she killed the yellowjacket. I went looking for it & it was on the floor almost dead. I made sure I finished him off.... I'm not sure where they are nesting but I guess we won't play in the backyard for a while. Thank GOD everyone is ok now, but dang that was too much for me to watch....

Wow...where did the summer go!

School started today for Shaylei... I can't beleive she's a 5th grader already! Jayven & I worked around the house cleaning up the patio, dropping off left over yardsale stuff at the senior center, & dropped off cardboard boxes at the recycle place... We finished the morning off at the park with lunch. I love that little boy so much. He is such a big helper too...he really is!

July was busy with appts. for my sleep study, & getting my results. I do have sleep apena & started using the cpap machine. It has helped a lot after I got used to it. I had a few anxiety attacks the first week.

The week of fourth of July Mike went on a camping trip with some friends by Ellensburg. They all went four wheeling in the mountain's. He had a blast. He likes to ride his quad a lot. 

Jenifer went on a big trip for Advocare called "Success School" in Texas for four days. She went with a group from Moses Lake. She's never been away from her children that long before. I had all four grand kids for four days... I was a tired Gma! She had a lot of fun & she deserved it...thats for sure. She works so hard to make a better life for her children & herself.

August started off with a camping trip with all four grand kids & it didn't go so well. Next time we are going to a KOA campground.

Shaylei began to work with her lamb for her 4-H project. We had meetings, & running back & forth feeding the lamb named Joy. Then it was a week of getting things ready & parking the trailer & getting it set up at the fairgrounds campgrounds. Then fair week started & it was a HOT long, fun...week! Shaylei did very well with her breeding ewe Platinum & market lamb Joy. She got grandchapmion with Platinum. She got a blue ribbon & a call back ribbon with Joy.

We spent several days at the water park through out the summer. We had bbqs, & bon fires in our backyard. Shaylei had her 11th birthday Aug. 20th... We celebrated it this last weekend with family in the backyard having a bbq. She worked all summer & earned $113.00 to put towards a Kindle Fire so for her bday we all pitched in & paid for the rest of it. We had to order it & she's excited for it to come.

September 10th Mike & I are leaving for California to visit his sisters, childhood friend, & my mom & dad.
