Ramsey's Down on the Farm

I ran over one of the kittens this morning! I think that I feel worse than the kids do. I felt something when I back up and when I got out the cat was twitching on the ground and then it stopped. I only had Sage with me, she went and looked and pronounced it dead. I called Jon and he said that he would get someone to move it out of the driveway-my hero. I feel so bad it was Reese's cat and Jon's favorite. There is a twist, I adopted one Momma cat and four kittens from a lady in town whose house they had adopted. I hate to say it but I've already got replacements. I did this at 8am when I was taking Reese and Sage to Lubbock to the doctor. This was not a good way to start. The rest of the day went about as well. We were gone for 9 hours and still don't have Reagan's glasses. They said 3 more days which they have said 3 times. I guess it's my day to complain. Sorry!

Sage turned 16 in June and was rewarded with Ashley's old Yukon. It is a 1992 with 164 and something thousand miles on it. The perfect vehicle for a new driver. Sage has been practicing all summer and is a pretty good driver. Ashley was sad and happy to see the Yukon move on but stay in the family. We are happy because we know where it has been and we had it worked on before we gave it to her. I, of course, had to take pictures of her driving away in it for the first time, camera maniac that I am.

Our kittens are so cute but they have some kind of disease. They are losing hair in spots and have been banished to the garage until they have seen the vet on Friday.

Reese went to Youth Camp on Monday morning and we have not heard from him since. I'm assuming that no news is good news. I figured he would call at least once to check in but NO! I called one of the other mothers and she hadn't heard from her son either and he was supposed to call every night. I'm sure the two of them won't get in any trouble, them being teenage boys and all. I didn't get a picture of Reese leaving because he left before I got out of bed. He did come in, wake me up and say good-bye. AWE! He took more stuff than his sister. I gave him such a hard time about that. He finally cut down and he still had more stuff. He'll be back on Friday and the fighting with Reagan can begin again. She's having a great time having me to herself. We have hung out, played and gone to the pool. Tomorrow she is going to stay with her cousins for the night and give us some time alone, although she tried to get me to come spend the night too.

Vacation Bible School began today. Reagan loved it. I helped with the 5th and 6th graders and Reese helped with refreshments and recreation. The kids had bible story, crafts, music and recreation (snacks). Each stop was about 20 minutes. We are doing it in the evening from 6:30pm to 8:30pm so we could get more help and more kids. This is the most kids we've ever had (I'm not sure how many). The only problem with this time is feeding the family. We had something before we left, something while we were there and then something when we got home. I don't think my waistline is going to like that to much. Reese was glad when the 5th and 6th graders came in because he had the 3 through 5 years olds. There were 24 of them and they all needed help. The kids had to make flip flips out of nutter butters, fruit roll ups and m&m's. He got to help all of those little hands. Then they got to eat them.

It's the same ole summer. The kids came home from their Momma's on Monday and it's back to running crazy. We went to Lubbock and saw Wall-e on Tuesday and then did some shopping. If you haven't seen this movie go directly to the theater and see it. It's about the cutes movie I have ever seen. Jon and I went on a date Sunday and saw it. I liked it so much that I took the kids back on Tuesday. Of course they were mad that we saw it without them. They loved it however. Afterwards we went to Sally's, Game Stop, Hobby Lobby, Home Depot and Wal-Mart. I didn't think that we would ever finish. We didn't get home until 8:45pm. We got alot done. Today we went to the pool and Reagan took a friend who is spening the night. They are working on the crafts, decorative journals and pens, that Reagan learned at GA camp. They are so cute. They are of course being tortured by Reese and vice versa.
