Hi all well alot of things are going on at the moment.First of all do not ever stay in a house that is being painted i am talking the whole house ,carpeted,new tile in kitchen(bad job there),varnish on all doors and cabinets(Another story there also bad job) a new front (door opens the wrong way they bought them 3 months ago not realizing that our apartment and the one next door are opposits of each other) the back door is fine but the neighbors are backward and their front is normal.some time next month they will be putting in a new vanity and toilet,in the kitchen new sink and counter tops that should be another good time.Oh did i mention that it took two weeks for all this to be done we had all our stuff out on the patio and we have a lot of stuff and of course the weather has been in the mid ninety's so no air conditioner spent alot of time outside.on so many levels it was wrong .well got to get busy and bring in more stuff tata

Hi all not much to write about still waiting on the ok for the nerve block shots L&I still has thirty days before they have to let us knowthe only thing that they respond to fast is no so this could be a good sign lol .Had a great time over in kingston got to see Dylan play he is great by the way.Got to see Nicky play t-ball(he is aly & jessies brother)those little guys are so cute some serious others were sitting and playing in the dirt.Wish we could of seen Aly & Jess play ,Jessie wasn't feeling good so she didn't play the next day Don was to messed up to go see Aly play she got to pitch a inning did good one person got on base only cause she hit the other player in the arm with the ball.Mothers Day weekend was nice got to see Saleena and the kids they are all doing greatby the way we all got together because our Niece Roxy(Ken's daughter)and her husband and kids were over for a basketball tournament ( best of the West ) there daughter Laureena play's .shes good of course they finished 5th they shouldn't have bad ref. calls.But it was nice to have everyone here goota go

Hi all,surprise i thought i would try again at this and let everyone know whats happening here.First off the shots that Don was taking didn't help as much as we hoped he has a little more mobility in his neck and shoulders thats all,At this point we are waiting for the ok from L&I for them to burn the nerve endings,anybody know some one who has had it done before?.Right now they are doing P.T on the upper body of course he hurts from it as he says everything makes him hurt even sitting and doing nothing. This weekend Roxy and the family are coming over their daughter Laureena who is a great baskeball player she is 6'2 i thnk 14 or 15 years old and they already have scouts watching her(Roxy is Don's brother Ken's daughter) anyway there is a games over here it's a tournament i believe last year they called it best of the west, so we are all excited plus Saleena and the kids are coming up sunday be a houseful but fun.Other then that there isn't much happening.We are planning to make a trip over to Kingston the weekend after mothers day if all goes well we are hoping to catch some of the kid's baseball game's if they are still playing.

Hi all ,well they are out of here the kids are back home with their mom now been pretty hectic for her getting back in the routine of things with Haylee in school and her stuff she is doing.We went down to her birthday celebration of being clean for a year it was nice to see that she is well thought of and an insperation for the others they all know what she has been through and has a lot more on her plate then a lot of them.She has got herself registered for spring classes got the ok for that.Did i mention we took Kathy down with us i was a long day we didn't get home until ten.On the nineteenth Don will be getting his third shot this one is for the lower back the other two helped some what but found out the shots are only good for about 6months to a year after this i think they want to try some more physical therapy i will let you all know.

Hi all thought i should update a few things.First off on Feb.5th the kids will be going back home to mom i am thrilled that it is actually going to happened we hoped it would a few times we wondered we got them on march 12 they had aready been at their grandma Sheryl's for a month before we got them.Iam so proud of Saleena she is really turning her life around just got an e-mail from her today saying she is officially a student she is going back to school so she can have a shot at better job's.Her graduation or should i say her 1 year anniversary is the 12 of Feb.we are going down to Kennewick for it she wants us to come down for it so i guess we will.Now on to Don he had his first Shots on the 21st they are called epideral steriod the doctor said he should notice a difference in his neck right away the place they shot him there is a noticeable difference can't wait for the other shots and see how they do.That is about it for here except i am tired of the cold it was 8 degrees at 8 o'clock when i had to take Haylee to the bus brrrrrrr.

Well hi again i see it has been awhile oops.Last month was a busy one with Christmas and all hope everyone had a great time.I am HAPPY to report that the kids will be going home to there mom sometime next month i am very proud of Saleena she has done everything and more to get her life and kids back.She was saying how you can convince yourself that you are being a good parent she took good care of them fed them read to them before bed made sure they brushed their teeth but the main gaol was to get them to bed so she could do more and she had to hurry incase she was missing her turn.She feels bad about it now but that was the past.I told her look what kind of mom they have now compared to the one they had before who is more focused on real life and what her kids and she needs.febuary 12 is her graduation she will have been clean for a year then. i guess they have a little cermony she wants us to go to.
