May 17-20 Keeping the Girls

Thursday morning I left early and headed to Kingwood to take the girls to school. Kristi went to the lake Wednesday morning to try and get a couple of days to relax. Mike Z had an early flight for a business trip. They are still not able to stay inn their house due to the staining and painting  so they are still at a friends house for now. I got all the kids delivered to school and then I went to Home Depot and got a few things I needed. I went back to the Isoms house and just hung out and did a little reading. They have an eight year old Mastiff and he followed me around everywhere to keep me company. I was supposed to stay until The girls got out of school Friday but things came up and Kristi came back so I headed back home. Friday morning was not great as my Kidney stone was giving me a little issues. Friday evening I met Kristi in Dayton and got Ashley and Sammi for the weekend. Mackenna had a dance that night so she was staying with friends for the weekend. Kristi and Mike Z were headed to the lake. Saturday we went to the movies and then took Ashley to Walgreens to get her passport picture as she needs to get her old one renewed. That evening Ashley did some sewing with Susan and Sammi even made a bag to hold her softballs. Everyone slept late Sunday morning.Susan left early to go to a week long quilt retreat. Later I carried the girls back to Kingwood.

May 12 13 Mother Days Weekend

After such a cool spring , the real Texas weather has showed up in May. We are starting to need a little rain but things are still really green. I mowed the yard even though it really didn't need it. Friday night Mackenna received the "Student Athlete of the Year" award at Riverwood Jr High. She will start High School next year , she has grown up too fast. Kyle Kristen and the boys came down on Saturday. Peyton and Luke hit the ground running. They played with toys inside and trucks outside and rode their John Deere Tractors. I  put some chickens on the smoker for supper. Kyle put new brakes on the rear of my truck. We went and got Mom to bring her out for the evening. When it got dusky I took the boys riding on the Ranger. They played right up till time to got to bed. Sunday morning they got up very early and were recharged. After breakfast we headed to Kingwood and they headed to Rhonda"s. We went to Ashley"s Confirmation at Kingwood United Methodist. They had 58 young people getting confirmed and it was a nice service. After church we stayed over there and hung out. Mike Kristi and kids haven't been able to stay in there house for the last 3 weeks and have been staying with friends. We went by their house to see he progress. They have been staining all the wood inside and the fumes are rough. Things are moving along, all be it slowly. That evening Mike Z took us all out to eat. His Mom met us there and so did Adam and Andrea. We had a really great evening.
