Looney Junee

Here we are the second week of June.

So far things have been un poco loco.

*

I dropped Jason off at the airport on Saturday.

He is now in the Honduras enjoying

the humid rainy season.

He is sleeping in a tent on a cot,

but he is on a big base with

good facilities, so for the most part

he's comfortable.

He seems to be enjoying speaking Spanish with the locals,

and he's been able to watch the NBA playoffs,

so he's doing just fine:)

Lyla had another ear infection

and wasn't sleeping or eating very well,

but we've gotten that under control

and now she's sleeping better than ever.

*

Our Wii broke, so we had to send it in to get fixed.

Luckily we have the game cube as a back up,

so the boys still have something to do

in this rainy weather

Yesterday we went to school and ate lunch with Carter

and

today we went back for his big debut in

Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

He's on the left side of the stage

middle one on the stairs in the red shirt.

(I would like to thank Dallin for taking this lovely picture

for me while I was chasing Lyla)

Carter did a great job in the play and when they

had to switch sides on the stage he would

pull the other kids into their proper spots.

I don't know if he was suppose to do that or

if he was just creating windows

so his face could

be seen by all.

On the way home from the play,

Dallin wanted to go in the back door.

(He likes to check on our flowers to see if there

are any new bloomers.)

Too my surprise some of them looked a little droopy.

I decided to pull the hose out

and give them some extra water.

I always do this very carefully

because one time I found a

BIG HAIRY BLACK SPIDER

living on my hose.

It was too fast for me to kill it

and I know its still living in there.

So I looked at the end of the hose and it looked fine,

I pulled it out very s...l...o...w...l...y

and looked what popped off onto the grass:

I picked it up by the shell and put it on the hose-hide-away

so that I could get a good looksie

After I stared at it a while it finally came to life
and started sliding and if you look close
you can see it left a gross slimy trail


After studying it for a long time,
Dallin watched me scoop it up with
his shovel and put it in the flower bed.
Pretty gross, but fascinating at the same time.
Now every time we go out to look at the flowers
we have something new to look for.

{Hope your week brings you

new and exciting things}
