SWINGING IN THE BACKYARD


I purchased this backyard swing again much to dad's dismay a couple of years ago at our local Fred Meyer's grocery store. And again it is one of the best buys I have made. It gets a whole lot of good use especially in the summer. At night when it is warm outside, we all will sit in it and talk about our day or whatever is on our minds at that time.

This afternoon Halliwell had gone out with her family and when she came home she saw the kids playing in the street and wanted to join them but by the time she was ready, they were gone. So she and Mimi played for about a half hour till it was time for her to go home. Of course Mc Callister is her little tag along brother who always wants to do what his big sis is doing.

MORE SUMMERTIME FUN


This weekend the temperature is to be in the 80's. Woo Hoo!!! It's about darn toot'in time! Today it was 70, but with no wind, it felt like 80 so again the kids went swimm'in. This time Blake and Bailey joined them. Keri had to work so the kids hung out with Mimi and I. Mimi was in heaven playing with the boys and Micah and Bailey seemed to get along well together too. This was the first time for all of the boys and girls to meet and play with each other. For the most part, Mimi, Blake and Shadd got along really great. Micah who is the same age as Bailey tried to play with her but Bailey was starting to be kind of a sour puss because she wasn't able to "boss" anyone around especially Mimi, Blake and Shadd who had their own agenda.
First they all played in the pool then when they got tired of that, out came every single riding toy known to man in the street. Blake really took a liking to the motor scooter that belonged to Shadd. I pretty sure he will be able to talk his mom into buying one for him.

LET THE SUMMERTIME FUN BEGIN!


Finally, finally, finally it is warm enough to use our pool that dad put up last week. Shadd and his family moved into the neighborhood just before the fourth of July. Correy who is Shadd's mom says that Mimi has been a true blessing for Shadd as he was feeling a bit friendless when they moved in. They moved to Maple Valley from Spokane and that is where he left his best friend. Micah his little sister is now feeling a bit left out cause Shad has a friend close to his age but she doesn't yet. However both Shad and Mimi try to include Micah in their playtime.

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY BAILEY


Last week was Bailey's 4th birthday and she celebrated with all of her friends at home last Sunday. As it turns out, Mimi and Zoe gave her the same kind of present.........Costco's Disney Princess coloring, sticker and stamp set. It did not seem to bother her though as her best friend Cassie was there. So Bailey says that Cassie could have one and she could have the other.



Fwd: [USAAChina33] For What it's Worth (Predictions)

I do hope that this is true as our LID is June of 2006. I also found out that Yazmine is no longer working for USAA and that the new girl now who is answering the phones will not answer any questions we may have. How about that?

Just posted over at RQ-- like Sheila mentioned, she is usually not too far off with her predictions.

Let me try this another way:

They are working on May now, started in July – so May 2006 should be referred in July, August, September, October, and November of 2010 – with some possibly carrying into December.

June of 2006 would be in December of 2010 then January, February, and March of 2011 – with some possibly carrying over into April of 2011.

July of 2006 would be in April, May, and June of 2011 (again, with some likely carrying into July of 2011).

August of 2006 would then be in July, August, and September of 2011, with some carrying into October.

And that would make September of 2006 be in October November December of 2011 and January of 2012.

But, like I said, at some point it's likely we'll need to add a month or two in there – especially since the CCAA has a habit of slowing down towards the end of their fiscal year.
