EMT

I'm proud to announce that Jeff is officially now an EMT. He finished his class, did clinicals, passed a State and National test and received his OFFICIAL EMT LICENSE in the mail yesterday. He's still got lots of schooling ahead of him but is very excited to have this hump of his life crossed. He's hoping now to get on part time somewhere to get some experience and use his skills. I know he'll be great.
Next step, paramedic school and fire academy. Keep him in your prayers as he works hard to reach his dream.
Great job honey!! I love you!!

A Broken Wag

Monday night after we got back from Arkansas Star started crying and couldn't raise her tail. I took her to the vet on Tuesday morning and after telling the Vet that she had been swimming at the farm she diagnosed with Limber Tail aka Broken Wag. She was miserable and not herself at all. We had to give her anti inflammitory meds and I'm happy to report that her tail is back to normal and she is very active again. We found it humorous but felt sorry for her. Crazy dog!!

Trip to Arkansas

We had a great trip last weekend to visit family. We fed the cows at the farm, rode 4 wheelers, Shayne fished and shot his gun. Star played, ran and swam (more on that later). And of course we got as much Luke time as possible. He is laughing and smiling now...so sweet!! Look close and you can see the cows tongue
Star enjoying the water
Shayne's fish...a few minutes later he was attacked by dogs trying to get his fish.
Happy Luke and Uncle Jeff!!
We stopped at Lamberts on the way down for some "throwed rolls" Yummy!!
We are looking forward to Andrea, Heath and Luke coming to STL this weekend. More loving on that baby!!
Shayne is enjoying his spring break but it's already Wednesday....going too fast!!

Boys will be Boys

Shayne spent a lot of time "hunting" for snakes in our backyard. He found 5 garder snakes. We had a plexiglass fixture that he made an exhibit out of. He actually did get bit by one but go brave again and handled them. He is setting them free soon but is enjoying them right now. Star actually likes looking at them in the "exhibit". One got away and she chased it across the yard...never caught. Shayne is my Jeff Corwin when it comes to catching snakes.



SORRY AUNT MARSHA....WE KNOW YOU WILL HATE THIS POST.

4th picture tag

Nancy tagged me so here it goes.

1. go to where you store your digital photos and open the 4th folder.
2. post the 4th picture
3. explain the picture
4. tag 4 people Shayne's "creation" of a Lego plane. One of his very favorite things to play with is legos. Even now that he's 12. I'm glad he still enjoys it. Makes me think about our nephew Sean being at our house over christmas and Shayne was playing with legos. Sean said, "I miss legos" I guess when your in college than your too big for legos :)!!


I guess I tag Michelle and Carissa....anyone else who wants to ...I think everyone else I can tag has been tagged already....Andrea, if you haven't then I tag you too!!

Report Card

Shayne got all A's and B's again on his report card this grading period. Just wanted to brag a little. We are so proud of him and so thankful that he LOVES school now. Of course he'd still rather stay home than go to school any day but who wouldn't.
