Did you know...

They still make cars without power locks or windows? Okay - I did know this, but hadn't thought about it in a while. My lovely company car is getting some repairs, so Walgreens sprung for a Toyota Yaris rental car (I hope you can sense the sarcasm). I swear it runs on mice under the hood! It has no power windows or power locks - it took me a moment to figure out I had to lock every door individually. Why? How? Who buys a car like this anymore? Yes, I sound a little high maintenance, but with kids, it is a major pain! Power door locks, remote lock, and window locks, were all very good (and necessary) inventions! I get to keep this lovely POS until Friday, so in the meantime, I will drive it like its a rental - I just have to remember to feed the mice :)

I know, I know, I'm a slacker!

I have been really bad at keeping up my blog - nothing really new! Boys are growing like weeds, for Kamden's 3 year old check-up he was off the charts for height, and he is only 6 pounds lighter than his big brother- they are keeping us busy! Work is busy! Walgreens is opening 3 new stores in September, and one take over in Elko, Nevada, so now I will have 1 "armpit" store in 3 states - Elko, Nevada, Vernal, Utah, and Rock Springs, Wyoming. Armpit stores you ask??? Each seems to be the armpit of their respective states - ugly city, people are inbred or white trash (maybe a little of both), there is nothing to do (okay, Elko does have casinos), and all 3 have 1 thing in common, a Wingers restaurant as their main restaurant... The closest of the 3 is 2.5 hours away, and all are difficult to get to in the winter months! I really do like my job, I'm grateful I have one, I'm just cranky today :)

The boys had a fun 4th of July - we did fireworks at my moms house with my Aunt Cheryl, my cousin Jason, and his son Kyler. The boys liked sparklers this year, still cover their ears for the noisy fireworks, and still can't get the hang of the pop things that you throw on the ground.

Kole, Kyler, and Kamden - yes, they are using glow stick to cover their ears!

We are finally going to have the rest of the basement finished - the drywaller starts tomorrow! Courtney and Jim - after 3 years, we finally have a place for you to stay that is not in one of the boys' room or in the basement family room! I will have my basement free of toys, and Denin will get a new TV (that was the deal - he gets the basement finished for me and he gets a new TV), we are all happy - for now! I am going to convert Kam's room, from his baby room to a big boy room - complete with surfer theme and twin size bed, no more baby's room :( or :) I just can't decide! I will post pictures when it is all done!

On another completly different topic, I had my follow up visit on my "dolly's" - everything is good, and where they are supposed to be ;o) Thanks Katie for your advice/referral! No pictures for that coming - this is a family show!!!
