Phone EnV

My new Chicka Penny rocks, Her Bf/hubby Cory got us a smoking deal and we got new phones for us. Elio actually got a "cool" phone this time and shh...Some little birdie is getting a phone as her Christmas present too... Back story... About 8 weeks ago I kicked a soccer ball and it whacked her (Penny's) son Skylar in the noggin and i just about died of embarrassment when he recognized me from working in the school. Aren't you Jaren's Mom. You did playground duty at Santa Rosa. OIY! I felt so,so,so awful. But Penny was so good about it. Now who would of thought you could bond over that? LOL! Amanda absolutely loves her Baby son Zane. He's half the size of her in height and weight but Amanda loves him to pieces. And as for Cory from what i have heard he loves George Michael and he's a genesis kinda guy. But we don't hold that against him. Thanks Penny & Cory!

my DaD

who,what,where,why? Constant questions in my head. Do I look like him ? Do my kids look like him? I know J's fingers look like his Papa's because of the years of sitting at the table watching them work. Whether it was a simple cracking a pile of nuts to watching him dab a bingo card. I know what they looked like. And Amanda & Jaren always say I got Papas eyes, and his fingernails etc.. and wow is it cool to see those features passed on. But what did Bob Mason give them? I guess I'll never know. These are the only pics I have of him. Ive been writing My "grandfather" for years with no response on his behalf. I don't want my childrens history to be tossed out or forgotten when he passes. Its so frustrating being so far away.

Elfis And The Sleigh Riders

Here's a preview to Amanda's ( playing Elf # 4) concert tonight. "Elfis and the Sleigh Riders." This is our schools song at the end. Sorry it's a little jumpy.
