The last....

As i sit at home tonight, thinking about Morgan graduating tomorrow amd Celina Seniors graduating tonight, all i can think about is that everyday is "the last" with Chelsey and Colby....

Tomorrow when we wake up they will officially be Seniors. Never ever thought i'd make it to this day to type that. I know they will not disappear, go too terribly far, or forget their dear ole Mom....but it will be different in a year. Let me be very clear, i do NOT want to turn back time, i'd just like to slow it a bit, so we can savor every minute. The messy rooms, fights over gas money, Saturday school days, text asking "can you, will you, i need...", Sunday tv (Swamp people, LOL), requests for chicken and rice, watching colby eat a box of cereal just before dinner, watching Chelsey fret over her hair/clothes/shoes etc., and most of all the replies to their text every single morning, they always say "love you too" no matter what we may have had happen the night before. Soon i shall write about Senior pictures, notes in their final yearbook, ordering their cap and gowns, their last first day of high school, last football game, last Xmas as high schoolers, last Prom, last spring break....the list is endless, but my love for those two is not! My babies have grown up, and although not perfect, they are pretty dang good kids. In spite of their Daddy's blood. Hahahahaha...

Yep, i am feeliing a little old, a little sentimental and a little bit of pride tonight....next year at this time, we will be throwing a BIG PARTY!!!

Love you too Chelsey and Colby,

Mom

Memorial Day fun!

Megan...the Butterfinger Cake is almost gone! And i made it around lunch time today. I highly recommend it! And Kay, the pickles....YUM. So easy, and they were fabulous. I will share the easy recipe. One jar of dill sliced pickles 32 ounce. Drain all the juice off. Pour into a container that you can seal with a lid. Discard the juice, keep the pickles (that part cracked me up Kay). Add 2 cups of sugar, a tablespoon of minced garlic, and. Teaspoon of tobasco. I llet it sit on the counter for 2 hours and shook it all around to keep it stirred up. Then to the frig. They were wonderful! Almost all gone...Tyler's little brother, Brendon, said "Mrs Pam, you sure cook good!". J made chicken, sausage, corn, potato salad, beans, deviled eggs, cantalope, tomatoes, cucumbers, and the pickles and cake. Then.....i hit the lake to fish. Got some sun, fished with Tyler and the boys. Colton caught another huge crappie. He realed it in like it was no big deal. We managed to not "jack up" the rod and reels today. Had a blast....sent all the fish home with Tyler's grandpa Joe.

Now i am tired...so off to bed i go.

Love,
Pam (still the Black eyed P)

Those boys...

Dylan and Colton came home with us Saturday night and spent the night. They were in the pool until after 11pm. Both wanted to watch tv afterwards, so i put them in my bed, all propped up on pillows with the tv on and i went in 10 minutes later to check on them and both were cashed out. I moved Dylan to sleep with Danny and Colton slept with me. When i woke up yesterday morning, i had a black eye, well purple on the top, that is. I told Colton he must have done it. The look on his face....priceless! It was probably from going down the bouncey slide the day before, at the reunion, but i didnt tell him that! We left for breakfast at Swaggers and came back. I put hot dogs, hot links and sausage in a roaster pan, made broccoli salad, cream corn and baked beans and was on the pier with the boys by 1pm, after they swam for a while. We all caught a bunch of fish. I only came back to the house twice between 1pm and 8pm and that was for a bathroom break! We had a blast. Colton got his line all "jacked up" (his word not mine) so i unstrung it and fixed it. Then i drew back to throw it out and backlashed it again. He told his Daddy i did it!

They decided to spend the night again, so Ashley and Tazz went home and had quiet night #2. The boys fell asleep in my recliner and i put them to bed, but this time, i put Colton with Danny. We'll see if he has a black eye when he wakes up! Tyler fished with us too, amd played Uno with the boys tonight. I sure do love that kid! Colby went to a movie and Chelsey went to Celina's Bacculartte and spent the night with a friend afterward.

Today it's chicken, beans, potato salad and pickles! Kay sent me the recipe for her hot pickles. Love them! Headed to the store now to get the stuff to make me a jar. It's dill pickles, drained, add sugar, tobasco, garlic and something else... Have to look back at the recipe again. Oh, and i am going to make the butterfinger cake Megan posted. And after that? Well.....i think we will fish some more!

Happy Monday all!

To Austin!

Softball Team WON last night...exciting slide by Shelby at the bottom of the 7th won it 7-6..... I think everyone at the ball park was on their feet as she rounded third and the outfielder was throwing it home. And she Scored!!! Guess wewill be Austin bound next weekend.

Speaking of next weekend...Colton was picked for the All Star Team. He will play next Sunday. Cant wait to watch him!

Today is family reunion time, for The Fenter's. On the hunt for an easy recipe, maybe a salad of some sort. And Danny requested deviled eggs too.

Happy Memorial Day weekend to all,

Pam

Long weekend

Just have to make it thru today.....and then have a much needed long weekend! Looking forward to it. The softball girls won last night...one game between them and the state tournament that begins Thursday in Austin. They play in Allen this afternoon....2nd of a two game series, if they win, it's over, if we lose, game 3 to finish the series will be Saturday.

Today is Chelsey's last day of class. She's exempt from all her exams. Maybe she can help Colby study for all of his! Their Junior year has flown by.

Gotta hit the shower and go finish up May closings.

Have a nice weekend all

Pam

Scotty wins!!!

Scotty fan here....he has a bright future.

No storms tonight, thank goodness.

Not much to say tonight, still tired from late stormy night yesterday.

Storms....

So....i bailed on my trip to Georgia. Way too busy at work to leave....so i stayed behind to enjoy the storms tonight. Just got home from work 10 minutes ago. If it is going to storm, it happens in Celina and Lewisville. The distancee between had me holed up in the office working, until the storms broke up enough to make it home. Sirens were going off at work, Colby was texting, Dad called, Chelsey texting, Danny texting...giving me a hard time about how clear it was in Georgia, oh and the lady from Chelsey's little bump called $800 to fix her bumper. I think i am going to buy she and Colby bicycles.....that would sure shake them up!

Off to bed i go...night all and Megan, i am glad to hear Jeff made it safe and sound to work.
