Indian Ruins

We are in Flagstaff dropping off Logann getting her room set up, and buying and more buying (I'm tried of shopping).

We came up on Thursday pulling a trailer She has a lot of stuff, moved her in and then on Friday got the computer and lap top hooked up as well as the TV. Her room is so tiny and hot, she is on the 7Th floor so move in day was fun. I went down the stairs never up Eli begged to go up, though he thought it was a secret way.


Saturday she got a bike (pictures later), went to 2 stores and then back to the first one (I'm really tired of shopping). The pictures of her dorm are at the bottom and her view a Cemetery (there are several on campus) .


After buying the bike we decide to check out some sights in Flagstaff so we headed I-40 to Meteor Crater but got side tracked at Walnut Canyon National Monument. Wow it was amazing!! The Sinagua Indians were cliff dwellers, some of the pictures you can see the smoke all over the rocks and what a view the canyon is beautiful. These pictures are of the Anasazi Indians you can find the ruins on highway 89, north of Flagstaff at Wupatki National Monument. It started to rain so we ran up took a few pictures and ran back to the car before it started to pour down. What a great day just missing one thing Logann as she had to stay back on campus for more orientation.

There is a lot of wind through here

We saw the deer after leaving the visitor center. It was funny because we just hiked the mountain and no wild life. Go figure!!

These are the shoe I wore. My poor feet I need a pedicure.

sorry for the looonnnggg gggaaappp

The New Porch......Chapter one

This is Eli eating his healthy snack with some added vitamins note lunch is still on his face and good clean mountain dirt on the hands. Lets not forget his rubber fishing boots from Walmart he loves to wear them even in the valley. He loves to go to the Ranch!!

Morgann and the double take!!

Morgann got a job at Cold Stone Creamery this summer, and there is a young man that works there his name is Buzz (nickname of course)anyway Logann and Morgann both think he is sooooo cute, okay picture this Morgann was standing behind the counter with Buzz when someone walks through the door she looks up to say hi and it is Buzz no wait he is standing by me oh my gosh their are two of them. Now Logann and Morgann don't have to share.

I forgot something!!

Tuesday June 2 was Kelly and I wedding anniversary. OOPS!! I guess that what happens after nineteen years of marriage. Love you Honey

Update from the Lewis House

I know it has been quite awhile since my last post, so here is the run down of the Lewis'.
I will start with the softball team, we finished the season with no wins. Started the the next season winning the first game (yeah!!) only to lose the rest. I think it was the third game when I hurt my foot and was out for the rest of the season. I went to the doctor and she said I tore my plantar fascia which is the thick connective tissue that supports the arch of the foot, basically the only way to heal it is to be off of it for a week or two. I don't think so! After three very painful days on crutches I was walking around on it. Someday it will heal... for now no running or anything that stretches the arch!

All right what happened next, we celebrated Morgann's birthday, I can't believe she is 17, I remember the day she was born. She had the sweetest bald head.(not anymore in case you wondering) Morgann has changed jobs so no more free McDonald's diet coke. Now it is discount on Cold Stone Creamery.

Okay next on the 21st of May Eli, Seth and Logann graduated from their various grades. First we had our oh so cute kindergartner, next is the 8th grader and lastly was the senior. Eli and Seth's graduation where at the same time so I choose to go to Eli's and my DH went to Seth's. Logann's was later in the evening- the wet rainy evening. Next year when Morgann graduates we hope the skies are clear but not hot. Oh, and my Dad arrived on the same day as the graduation- the very same as both Seth and Eli's graduations! (Timing people!) So the parties are over and the company have all left... now I have a freshmen in college with no job this summer(she quit Sonic) and she is babysitting her little brother and 2 cousins. She has a much needed rest from life. We have freshmen orientation coming up soon. Which is a good excuse for going up north for a few days to get out of the heat. So out of nowhere Seth decide to go out for his new High School baseball team (he hasn't played since he was 8 and even then he was bored out of his mind not to mention that before we found out that he was allergic to wheat he would get horrible tummy aches so at practice one evening he bent over to catch a grounder and messed his pants) anyway he made the summer team (didn't know it was a summer oh so very hot game time 5pm be there at 4pm team) this is a brand new school with a brand new team so it is good to have the summer games that don't count and figure out how to work as a team.

All righty now I think I have brought you all up to speed. I don't know when I will post again or even add pictures to my post I'm entering my busy season at work and the family down the hall is moving out soon so we will be doing a bit of rearranging!

Softball

Team Jacob and I joined a co-ed softball team, our games are on Sunday evenings. We are having a great time although we have not won a game yet. It is a new team so we are still trying to figure out everyone strengths and weakness. I haven't played this game since Jr High I think maybe even younger. I was told by my son that I throw the ball like a girl so Skater Boy showed me how to throw. I can catch the ball pretty good but batting is something else I really need to work on. I guess I should be spending more time at the batting cages. Maybe not.

A Teenagers Mind is A Terrible Thing

On the way to church this morning my Husband tells me about a conversation between him and Skater Boy. They where at a customers house on Friday installing a new banister. Skater Boy was having a hard time getting the pole in the holes so my husband says to him is your rod a little stiff. Well my son lost it.

As you can see we need to be more careful about the things we say and how we say them in my house.

I remembered another one. I was vaccuming the stairs after Christmas the garland had left a HUGE mess.

Mom: Skater Boy can you take the vacuum cleaner canister and dump it in the trash can and then bang it on the side of the trash can.

Skater Boy: What do you want me to do?

Mom: Dump it in the trash and then bang it on the side.

Skater Boy: What do you want me to do? HEHE

Mom: (in a not so nice voice because I don't get it) Dump it in the trash and then bang it on the side!!!!

Skater Boy: My Mom wants me to bang it. (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA) As he is walking away.

Who would have thought that chores could be dirty. HAHAHAHAHA

Things you should think twice about saying before you say it around teenagers....


In the car with my Girls pulling up to the drive-thru at Sonic, Christmas time and there was a present on the rocks getting wet from the rain outside.

Me: The package is getting wet.
My Girls: That so gross mom.



My DS she tells her boys that she likes a lot of nuts on her balls(cheese balls).


Kids are all the balls in the car!


As I remember some of the others I will share them.
