May 2016

On Saturday the 7th I went to your baseball games.  It was a double header and your team won both games.  Your team scored every time you had the ball except for one.  You had a couple of catches and a couple of TDs.  You have really improved.

 
After the games, we went back to your house.  You rode with me.  I asked if you were ever going to play basketball again and you said no.  You really enjoy football.  When we got to your house I found  where flowers for me from your father and you and your brother game me this card.



 
 
On Saturday Wednesday the 11th, Andrew had a concert at 6:00.  I came over early and we went to Chili's for a bite to eat before the concert.  I left my car running and your mother said "Susan" your car is still running.  Getting old really sucks!!!
 
 
The two of you walking into the school.
 
On the 14th you had another game.
 
You did great!
 



 
Then we went back to your house you to get changed.
 
You and your brother wanted to go to Peter Piper for pizza.  We passed one, but I kept driving.  We ended up going to one in Mesa.  You had bread sticks.

 
You put some parmesan cheese on top of them.


 
Then we went to Bed Bath and Beyond to get you and your brother blankets.  You said you wanted a  blanket like the one on the bed in my office.  Then Andrew said he wanted one also.  So..I  got  you one each and you picked out the one you wanted.

 
At my house, you opened it and laid down in bed.


 
Andrew put to pieced of card board in his mouth and quacking like a duck to get you up.

 
We were supposed to go to BJ's to celebrate Mr. Ron's birthday.  You didn't want to go.  That if you knew we were going to celebrate his BD before we left you wouldn't have come.  But you did know.  Then you tried to get me to decide on going to BJ's or going to church.  Not both. You gave me two minutes to decide.  I had you call your mother.  To no avail.  I couldn't leave you and your brother in the house alone.  It ended up that I took you and your brother home.  You must be going thru puberty.
 
On Friday the 20th your mother posted this on Facebook.
 
Took the boys for their first paddleboarding trip! They loved it!!

On Saturday the 21st I went to your playoffs.  The first game was great and your team won.  You lost the second game. 
 








 
It was very windy that day.  Couldn't keep the umbrella up.
 
See you on Memorial Day!
 
 
You and your brother were looking at something Mr. Bob was looking at.  Can't remember what it was.
 

 
While your mother and I were seated on the patio, she asked me to stand up.  What?  So I did.  She then came over to me and gave me a big hug and said "Susan,  I really love you and want to forget the past stuff and move forward."  We both ended up crying. 
 
You and your brother helped Mr. Bob earn $5.00 each for helping him with a small project.  It was covering up some pipes near the garage door. 
 
While on the patio we started talking about me taking you and your brother on a special trip.  I said I'd take just you, but I couldn't take both of you, so it ended up that I would take you, your bother and your mother on a trip.  Now where do we go???  We bounced around a couple of ideas and then Great Wolf Lodge was brought up.  It turns out that there is one in Washington State.  So I said let's fly to Seattle and visit the Great Wolf lodge and other places. 
 
You also mentioned during some conversation that you want me to babysit you and not Uncle Bruce, because all he doe's is watches TV.   You want Nana to babysit you because "Nana is fun!".
 
BBQ on the Patio.

 
 
 
Celebrating Andrew's BD!

 
You gave the $5.00 you earned from Mr. Bob to your brother for his BD.  So sweet!
 
 
 
Mr. Bob and left for our National Parks trip on the 31st.
