Long time no blog!!!

Okay so I know that it has been a little while since I last blogged our life as pirate monkeys, but with good reason. I AM LAZY!!!!!!

I started a new job working at the University extension office. I am a secretary there and I like it. I just spent the week at the county fair. I am very tired now.

We went to Disneyland the last week in June for the Capt'ns mom's birthday. That was a lot of fun. It was my first visit there and so I got a pin to wear. The birthday girl got a birthday pin. The kids got a pin for their first time also. Just a note to all: The Small World ride SUCKS big time DON"T go on it if you value your sanity!!!!!!! After that ride I am convinced that the world is not small it is long and obnoxiously loud!!!! I would have to say that the best part of the vacation was the beach. I LOVE the beach and I dream about it on a regular basis. In fact I just had a dream the other day that we moved to Brookings Oregon. It was a very good dream; then I woke up and was still here in Wyoming.

Mario Girl took an outdoor class and learned about bugs and weeds. She loved it. She even got to bring home bugs in a jar. We watched them try to crawl out of the holes in the top. She took very good care of them.

1-eyed-Jack went to scout camp where I am sure that he got in lots of trouble. He got back the day that I started working the fair so I haven't really had time to talk to him about it. Tomorrow he goes to Colorado on a river trip. He is very excited about that.

They both had swimming lessons. They are such good little swimmers.

And last but by far not least, our computer in the living room died a very sad and painful death. We have it spread out on the diningroom table for all to see. We are old fashion that way.
We moved the bedroom computer into the livingroom. It has none of this years pictures on it so I can not post them at this time. I think that they are backed up somewhere, but The Capt'n hasn't put them on this comp yet.
So once again I have sent out a blog with no pix. Maybe next time. BYE

We pillaged so there!
