around the house ..

dallas laundry .. 

i have just one load left .. 

cash did a truck inventory on thursday .. he still hasn't put them away .. 

he keeps telling me that he "is not done yet"

t told him that he has until sunday to be done or he will be done 

i will keep you posted on that .. 

his "phone" to call his boys on .. it seems that they are working on tearing down a bridge ..

they call late at night when it is dark outside ..

i asked cash the other night .. how can they work in the dark ?

he said .. mom .. in a tone that suggests i have no brain at all .. they have lights 

of course they do i said .. 

this is jeff's shoe .. it seems that grandpa has a pair just like it .. cash wanted to take it up the hill and show grandpa .. then he got sidetracked onto something else and left it on the coffee table ..

he was also going to take this bag of tractor trailer trucks to granny's .. that is why it is by the shoe .. until he got sidetracked .. 

not to worry though .. cash didn't go to granny's empty handed .. 

he took big truck .. his camo back pack .. his monster energy super cross sweatshirt .. that i still haven't been able to wash and a hat .. 

ski trip helmets that still have not been put away .. they are laying next to all the valentine card making stuff that needs to be put away ..

i am seeing a theme of "things that need to be put away" here .. 

luggage from dallas .. but no need to put it away because we leave for saint louis on thursday for ...

the monster energy super cross ..

yes .. i know .. we just got home from the monster energy super cross in dallas ..

but this will be the monster energy super cross in saint louis .. 

they are totally different ..

we took this to the boat show .. it just hasn't found it way back to the shop yet ..

finally .. allie and monkey monkey ..

they joined us for breakfast this morning and just haven't found their way back to their bedrooms ..

my guess is the house stays this way until we get home from saint louis ..

nuclear cowboyz hole shot

because you have to have oreos at the super cross .. of course you have to smuggle them in because they go thru your bags .. jerry's world aka dallas cowboy stadium does not allow "outside food" in .. 

oreos are not "outside food" though .. 

they are love sandwiched between 2 delicious crunchy chocolate cookies .. 

granny and the kids all got super cross sweatshirts ..

 they will look really cool the next time they go camping in the "rb"

this is called the nuclear cowboyz hole shot .. whoever gets there first gets an extra $1500 .. because being first out of the gate isn't motivating enough .. 

first one out of the gate doesn't have to worry about being run over by all the other motorcycles .. 

go go go !

when the first guy gets there big fireworks go off .. 

the crowds cheers and hollars and goes crazy !!

the race is on .. 

flying motorcycles and super cross food ..

this past weekend we all loaded up and went to dallas for the super cross .. 

rachel was cheering for villapoto ..

mike and his girls .. 

there were high flying motorcycles .. 

 

and sharp turning motorcycles .. 

there were crazy blond long haired boys hollaring supercross baby !!

cash informed me that this is where he would be after every race .. this is where they interview the winner and the "cute" monster girls hand them a drink after they are interviewed about how cool they are .. cash also informed me that this is where "uncle greg" would also be after he raced .. but if the race was between cash and "uncle greg" then cash would win and "uncle greg" would have to go back to the pits .. there is no "cute" monster girl for the loser !!

cotton candy .. 

and chili cheese nachos were on the menu ..

and then if you are like us and like to eat really late at night you stop by mcdonalds on the way home and then eat in the hotel lobby .. 

not to worry there are more pictures .. but those are for tomorrow .. 

i don't want to overload you on super cross .. 

Birthday dinner

We ate a late birthday dinner at Morton's ...

hello supercross ..

a boy and his legos ..

last night cash was supposed to be watching tv with his dad .. 

i had to go get ellie from piano .. his last words as i was walking out the door were mom .. can i please get out my legos .. no cash babe .. it's 8:15 .. it's time for bed .. 

go and lay in bed with daddy and watch tv ..

ok mom .. he said as he hung his head and moped back to our bedroom .. 

when i got home from picking up ellie this is what i saw .. 

my blond long haired boy working hard on his legos .. 

he was halfway thru assembling the trailer for the motorcycles .. 

he didn't even notice when we walked in ..

didn't hear ellie drop her piano bag and kick off her shoes ..

didn't hear sophie barking like crazy because we pulled into the driveway ..

didn't hear jeff snoring like a giant freight train .. 

he was busy busy busy ..

cash finally came out of his lego assembling daze and looked up at me ..

i could tell that he was trying to come up with something witty to say that might get him out of trouble .. seeing how he was supposed to be in bed .. not working on his legos ..

look mom .. he says .. 

it's a ktm and a kawasaki .. 

and the trailer even has a drawer for tools .. 

cash you are brilliant i said .. 

he smiled and went back to working on his legos .. 

he finished up the motorcycles and the trailer about 10 ..

came into the kitchen and said ..

i am going to bed now mom ..

goodnight cash i said ..

thanks mom for letting me finish my legos ..

i love you mom ..

oh cash .. i love you to .. 

he can work on legos anytime he wants to 

happy valentines day ..

i feel like i have been out of touch lately .. the 2 weeks of the crazy boat show business and then my "wednesday" .. i was exhausted .. so i slept all day sunday ..

 now i am back to almost full energy and brain power .. 

they had a Valentine Day dance at ellie's school last thursday 

a dance .. isn't she to little for a school dance .. the answer is yes !!

i am not ready for the social craziness that is heading my way .. 

the whole "dance" thing caused her mind to go blank ..

me: ellie where's your reading book ?

ellie: dreamy look on her face .. what mom .. my reading book .. thinking to herself .. what reading book is my mom talking about ..

me:  the reading book from school .. the one with the stories in it that you take a test on every friday.. the super heavy book that weighs down your book bag and takes up all the space ..

ellie: .... still thinking .. oh .. i don't know ..

me: shrieking .. WHAT ??

it went on like this for 2 weeks .. it all started when she heard that the 3rd grade might be allowed to go to the dance .. her cranium was all of sudden occupied with the brain of a child who forgets things .. all the time .. she was in lala land constantly .. it got to the point that i told her she was going to have to ride the bus and that i was not going to pack her lunches anymore .. 

that did it .. riding the school bus and eating school cafeteria food snapped her back to reality ..

for a moment at least .. 

anyway .. the dance .. 

i went of course .. i had to go .. there was no way i was just going to drop her off .. i know .. can we say let go jenny ..

no .. not doing it ..

anyway the dance .. she looked cute .. danced a little .. ate a snack and had a fun time ..

it was maybe worth all the craziness ..

the limbo ..

love snacks ..

ellie and her friend lucas

wii dance party has paid off ..

and this .. thank you mrs. pool a thousand times for taking this pic of us .. 

it was a great time .. she came home all dreamy from her first dance .. 

i came home with a headache ..

happy valentines day everyone 

my wednesday ..

because first there was a week of this .. 

and then there were 2 days of this .. 

my poor little exhausted brain was not working .. 

we were running behind wednesday morning ..

 i am sure that it had something to do with the fact that i hit the snooze button 17 times .. 

i really needed to leave just a few minutes early so that i could stop and get gas .. i was just flat out to tired to stop on the way home from work on tuesday ..

that's ok i said to myself .. no biggie .. i have enough gas to get to tulsa ..

 i will drop cash off somewhat on time and then get my happiness in a cup and then go and get gas .. 

a side note .. i am NEVER below half a tank ..

 i subscribe to the moto be prepared .. 

think ahead of the next catastrophe ..

 be in front of the power curve not behind it .. 

i never know when i might need to make an emergency run to the er in tulsa to meet the orthopedic surgeon because cash has tried to jump his motorcycle from the roof .. onto the trampoline and then into the pool .. i am pretty sure that this stunt would result in something broken .. on cash ..

so it was out of character for me to actually really need gas .. 

again no big deal .. 

i had enough to make it to tulsa .. 

so i pull into starbucks ..

 the whole idea of the jolt of caffeine that i was about to get was enough to perk up my spirits .. 

this day was going to turn out to be ok after all ..

so i start to dig thru my bag looking for my wallet .. 

maybe it is under cash's sock and his dump truck ..

or under the mess of hair accessories that ellie threw in there the other day ..

nope ..

no where ..

my wallet was no where close to my purse ..

my wallet wasn't even in tulsa ..

crap crap crap i text to jeff .. 

my wallet is in my work bag sitting by my desk at my house at the lake ..

my first thought is oh no .. what about my coffee .. 

my brain then slowly .. due to the fact that a) i have not yet had my coffee and b) i am tired .. 

starts to process just what this REALLY means ..

it means so much more that no coffee .. it means NO GAS .. it means how am i going to get home ..

crap crap crap i again text to jeff .. 

like this will somehow magically fix the dilemma that i find myself in ..

don't panic i say to myself .. think jenny think ..

ok .. call emily .. she will have $20 laying around .. 

i have enough gas to run over to her house .. all will be ok ..

well .. turns out she didn't have 20 bucks laying around her house ..

she had a little more than that with her at work ..

luckily i was able to make it to her .. procure my gas money and get some coffee and some gas .. 

in that order .. 

the rest of my day kinda just went downhill from there ..

my ipod ear phones were so tightly knotted up that i spent 15 minutes trying to unravel them ..

i ran the slowest 12 miles ever by a human ..

played phone tag with jeff all day over work issues .. and

shut my fingers in my car door .. twice .. 

enough i said ..

i picked cash up from school .. went to speech and then hurried home so that i could pick ellie up from mom's and run her basketball practice .. we were late .. when i ran into the house to get a quick drink and go to the bathroom i meant to grab my wallet so that i could fill up my car while we were in vinita at basketball practice .. 

forgot my wallet .. again ..

after basketball practice i took ellie to church class .. went home .. and went to bed .. after i put my dam wallet in the car .. along with an emergency 50 bucks ..

move out .. the big version ..

we have been moving out of the boat show since monday .. 

this is what our yard looks like .. 

watercraft .. boats and trailers everywhere .. 

and they just keep coming up the driveway .. 

meanwhile back at the expo building the guys are dismantling the booth .. 

stacking up carpet squares .. taking apart the twirly birds and offices .. 

cash came to help after school on monday ..

 he brought oreos .. his work gloves and the valentine he made for his dad .. 

cash .. aren't you supposed to be "working"

he was helping uncle richie pull up tape .. 

you pull it up and wad it into a big ball ..

and then throw it into the trash can .. 

now it is time to put the big boat back onto it's trailer .. 

first you have to move the trailer over close to the boat .. 

this is much easier to do when you have a blond-long-haired-kid hanging off the end .. 

push cash .. not hang off of .. 

they lift the boat up with the fork lift .. 

and then slide the trailer under it .. 

then you hook it up to the back of a big red truck and drive it back to the lake .. 

do this 7 times and the boats are all moved back .. 

then you have to start on the watercraft ..
