the Jelly Belly truck!

Have you ever seen a Jelly Belly truck before? My Dad happens to know the driver of this one. Wayne drives for Martin Transport (the company my Dad drove for until his heart attack). Usually Wayne has a trailer with jelly beans all over it just like the cab, but this time he had to switch trailers with another driver so he is pulling a regular Martin trailer. Wayne stopped by this morning to see my Dad and the boys wanted to see the truck! Wayne was nice enough to leave the boys PLENTY of Jelly Belly jelly beans and man are they good! It was a nice morning this morning and the boys were excited about getting some jelly beans! but then what child wouldn't be?!

Here is baby Caddy with his Mommy before Mommy went back to the farm to be with her other kittens. Aren't they cute together?! And then there's a picture of Rascal - he's almost 2 1/2 years old and is quite the baby himself! He loves Grandma and Grandpa to pieces and gets so excited when they come over!!!

goofy pets!

Isaac and Cadillac!!

This is our new baby kitty, Cadillac. We were unfortunate to lose Waffles and Stanley, but I happened to catch my Uncle Ron one day and he said he had baby kitties at his farm so Isaac and I went out there a couple weeks later to see these new baby kitties. Isaac fel

l in love with the little grey kitten, but seeing all 5 of those babies made us want to take them all home! (Martin would've had his own baby kitten with that idea?!). A few weeks later the kittens were ready to be picked up so we went out there with Josiah too and still ended up bringing this little grey guy home. At first he hid behind the kitchen cupboard and wouldn't come out so we ended up going back to Uncle Ron's house to get the mommy kitty and see if she could help get baby out from behind the cupboard! Well, Mommy heard him behind there, but even she was too big to get back there so she came to bed with us instead! During the night I heard a tiny meow coming from downstairs and there was Mommy and her baby roaming around the house! Baby was still scared of us, but we were able to catch him and blocked that little area behind the cupbard so he couldn't go there anymore. Mommy went back to the farm to be with the rest of her kittens. (believe me we wanted to keep Mommy too, but Martin said no).

Cadillac has been a wonderful kitten and has grown so much! He was born around the middle of April and he has these adorable little circles on each of his sides in a lighter grey - I've never seen that before. He gets along great with Rascal, our pomeranian - Rascal is Caddy's new Mom, giving Caddy baths whenever he pleases!

Here is a glimpse of Caddy with his favorite person - Isaac! Caddy loves climbing onto Isaac's bunk bed (safe away from Rascal) to sleep and Isaac, being the huge animal person that he is, loves every minute of it! We've been encouraging Isaac to become a vet when he grows up because he loves absolutely every animal he sees! He and Caddy are two peas in a pod! And these pictures prove every bit of that!

You have to say "aahhhhh, isn't that cute?!" :)

Have a great day!

Ok, so my friend Jesse just saved my hind end for Father's day. Usually Martin and I don't do anything for each other for Mother's day or Father's day. Even though he would disagree with that statement, we've never done anything special on those particular days. Now that the boys are getting older, its funner cuz the boys can get involved with it too. Well, my friend Jesse's (who also happens to work with Martin on the infrared machine) Mom happens to work for Berkeley. Now, for those of you with men in your lives who love to fish - you will know exactly who I'm talking about. They are the big name in fishing! Jesse just came here to work and dropped off about 30 different types of worms, croppy food, anything . . . for Martin and the boys to go fishing with. And better yet - its all FREE! WOW, I simply can't believe this. Jesse is such a neat guy and this was a wonderful gift for Martin for Father's day. Hopefully this will entice him even more to go fishing!

I'm still trying to figure out how to put pictures on this crazy site, so bear with me!

Catch ya later!

And be sure to wish your Father's a Happy Father's day on Sunday!

Love,

Hello! I figured other people are doing their own blogging, so I will do the same on our family!
Martin and I just celebrated our 9th Anniversary this past Wed. and I think this was the first year we celebrated it being in different towns! Martin has been working in Hutchinson lately for work (he's the foreman of one of our Infrared crews' see www.bargeninc.com). So this weekend will be one of going somewhere with the boys on Sunday to celebrate our Anniversary as well as Father's day. And with the heat, I'm ok with staying indoors. I think its from having an office job for so many years (12 this year) and being in the AC all day long. The boys love being outside, but I'd prefer indoors.

I don't really know what else to write for now, but I'm sure more things will come as the days go by. I'm gonna try to get some photos up of us soon, so feel free to check back!

See you!
