18 years strong - July 27, 2008

we celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary yesterday. it's hard to imagine it's been that long. it's gone by in a blink! we just hung out saturday -went to the genoa faremer's market, the hayes museum and toured the house, ate ice cream, went out to eat for supper at appleby's, just had anenjoyable day. he surprised me with a ipod nano. i've been so busy i haven't had a chance to load more music on my 'puter. yesterday i canned what we got at the farmer's market then later jo and the kids then even later katrina and kids came over to visit. ken was hilarious! the girls were breastfeeding the babies in the living room - nothing indecent was showing. we were hanging out having adult time when he started to come into the living room, saw them feeding, turned and walked right on past. he was blushing and shaking his head.

it's amazing how little things can put lives into perspective. jo and juan were arguing and neither was talking - texting a ton but not talking - toeach other. jo and jordyn went down to the golf course to pick up supper.there were a couple of guys in there being jerks. the wife of one of themen called on the cell phone and he handed it off to his buddy. they were giving the wife grief. she kept calling but not getting her hubby - onlythe his friends. jo came back and had to text juan that even though they were arguing at least he wasn't a jerk. i laughed when she told me she had to tell jaun he wasn't a jerk. perspective is a good thing...:)

jayme's now 7.5 months old. he army crawls everywhere! he gets so excited about buster (the dog). buster just loves having kids to watch over! the cats weren't as thrilled. tinkerbell was hiding under the kitchen table and chairs. jayme crawled over and the looks on tink's face was cute. you almost hear her thinking..."how did this kid get down on my level!" jayme cried when she'd had enough and ran away. pumpkin just hides when they come. he doesn't like being picked up and given "elmira" hugs. (elmira hugged her pets until they strangled to death. it's a bugs bunny spinoff.)
