Comment Response and other stuff

This is in response to the comments that I received on the last post.

I was very bored at my graduation. It was enormously long!!!! I think that I wiggled more then the kids (if that is possible). About the rope around my neck, Ya I forgot that I had a good GPA. How smart is that? I kept the rope as a souvenir of my smartness. My diploma was actually in the folder thingy. Cool HUH!! And my name is on the outside. Yes, I do look good in red especially when it is a HUGE gown. I think I shall only wear my red graduation gown from now on.

You are right about Mario Girl and her having to wear dresses all the time, even in the winter. I should also let her wear coats before it snows outside. In the fall she told her teacher that I wouldn't let her wear her coat to school until is snowed outside. Now this is Wyoming!!! It freezes here in July(slight exaggeration). When we found out about this little story we grounded her to the galley for a week.

We are done with School in one week. One-eyed-jack will be moving up to 7th grade. Yea he did it!!!!! Mario Girl will be going into 2nd grade where she will finally have a new teacher. Not that we don't love the teacher that she has, cuz we do.

the Captain and I will not be promoted to anything. Although he gets a raise and I get to move to the next salary step. YEA!!!

Here are some pix for ya all!! The white buffalo is for good luck.



Mario Girl wanted extra flavor with her birthday cake.

Graduation and lots of Snow

YEAH!!!!! I did it I finally got my Associates. It only took me about 16 years, but it is done.



A few weeks ago we went South of Rawlins toward the mountains and took pictures of the snow piles on the sides of the road. The kids and Genevieve loved it.




For those of you that haven't heard we have had a lot of rain the last couple of days. There is flooding in Baggs, and we went to the Hot Springs in Saratoga yesterday and it was over flowing as well as the river. We were also under a tornado watch on Thursday for a few hours. That was exciting! It hit Laramie and then started to head in our direction. The wind changed its course so we were spared.
We have two more weeks of school and then the kids are done for the summer. Well that is all I can think of to say.

Our trip to other places

We drove on a long and windy road to go watch graduations, and animals.
Here are a few pictures of the animals and non animals that we saw.




I think that the one in brown is the non animal that we saw. Notice the big black bulgy spots were eyes should be. Also notice how the kids seem to be avoiding this thing and running in the opposite direction. We call her "That One".



The guy in blue is "King Baggs". Don't look too long at his menacing expression or you may find yourself in some kind of pirate trance were he will turn you into a bag of potatoes. He really likes potatoes.

The Girl graduating is known in the pirate world as "Ariel", cuz she loves water so she is obviously a mermaid. Anyone that has seen "The Little Mermaid" knows that Ariel is the logical name for mermaids. I'm sure she has lured men to their doom by her beauty and now they sit rocking back and forth wondering what they did to lose her.




We left our camera in faraway places and so we don't have pictures of the other events we attended.

No person or animal was injured in the making of this blog. All characters are real, but their names are not. If the names corillate with real people it was not intended.
