And Jack in the box is

STILL THERE...LOL We are getting off the plane and going right over over to Jack in the box to get our fill of Monster Tacos with Hot sauce. We've been craving it since like a week after moving to FL and looking it up the nearest 1 is in Northern S.C.
As silly as it sounds we are excited to eat Jack in box again. Yeah we have places down here that they don't have up there like Chic-Fill-a (YUMMM) but we can let that go for a week..LOL

HAHAHA Dad told you they were still there...LOL and YES they still have the monster tacos no fooling

Putting a trip together..VENTING

All I can say is this is a pain in the butt. Sounds like what I didn't want to happen is going to happen. GRRRRRR. I have to see so many people and no time to do so... Ok have time but the distance is going to eat us alive in gas so that makes seeing people that we need to see to take place in like 2 day trips of a 7 day trip. How much stress is going into this trip is just so not worth it in my eyes. Sorry Family and Friends but I am stressed over this big time.
This city girl is going to have the greatest time ever...............................

Grandpa James

Today our family Mourns with the passing of my Grandpa James (83) Virgil James as most knew him from Running James Rhododendron nursery with My Grandma James. Many years I spent running around the nursery or righting my bike around their circle drive way. He taught me that best sandwich ever. Cheese sandwich..Bread, mayo and cheese..don't cook it and only use Tillamock cheese. I spent a few weeks there every summer with my cousins and which with Grandpa James we stood by the road with him and his table and sign getting people to come on in and buy plants. Grandpa was a funny guy he even put up on the sign stuff like "Honk if you want the kids to Jump.."Honk if you want the kids to do cartwheels" It was all in fun...Mind you this was in HICKville and also in the 80's so the bad things that happen in today's world was way down back then. He always took Amy and I with him to the store and other nurseries to get more plants and any errands he had. We sang silly songs on the rides and just always loved being with grandpa. I remember going with him and Amy to go feed and water the animals of our uncles up in the Seattle area. That trip I think was the last long trip we took helping grandpa.

The K man was only 7 Months old the last time he saw his G-Grandpa so he never got to know him as we moved when K was 9 Months.


RIP Grandpa James. We Love you and will MISS you but you'll always be in our hearts forever. Thank you for being our Angel watching over us and Now fly off and enjoy it all. HUGS

Our Hi Moments

Was getting to hear that we get to see Miss R while we are in WA. So excited to see our WA Princess.

I avoided getting hit by a red light runner due to this weird feeling that I needed to count to 10. OK I had taken K to the zoo to play at the paws on paws area and when we were done we're heading to Target to take back his travel bag that broke 2 days after getting it. Well I was stopped at the red light and then I just had the really strong feeling I needed to count to 10 before going. It was really weird as that is not me to be one of those drivers that just waits forever. However I listened and did it and not right after I said 5 this Gray Minivan came flying through. Would of smashed right into me. All I can say is THANK you Jesus.


Our Low Moments

Was seeing some posts that we're said about the hubs and his mom. Just really hit me really hard. These are some of the greatest people and to see negative comments about them just tore me up. What can I say I just love these 2 so much that I just wanted to get even. However I vented got it out and just sat back and Prayed.

In hubby's mind it would be getting dismissed from Jury Duty this week because I have 2 police officers in my family...LOL He really wanted to do.

Mom has Laraginist now for a week and it's really hard to talk to her on the phone..Pray it's gone by next week or much better. Poor thing I feel bad..BUT STOP TRYING TO TALK..LOL REST

Date- Lunch- with- MOM

The K man and I have started a very special new tradition and that is once a month (His day is the ..th) Mom and son go out for lunch to a sit down restaurant. It's an afternoon date just mom and son. As more kids join our family they 2 will have a day of their own as why the K mans date is the ..th instead of just me picking 1 day each month or it happening more then just once a month. Now K spends a lot of time with mom but we feel it's important to have these date days with each parent to have that 1 on 1 time with that child feeling as if it's all about them. I had many special days with my dad where it was just me hanging out with him. Even to the hard ware store where they gave out free popcorn. He would need to pick up something and I almost always tagged along. Then there were the once a week treat to TacoBell after Saturday night gymnastics practice. Those are just some of those special moments that ended up making an impact. So now we are starting this date lunch with mom and well the date with dad is still being worked out.
