Well we have had a busy 2 weeks. Cliff decided he had had enough of the oil field and found a job driving truck in Las Vegas. He will mainly run from Vegas to LA and back. The company also runs to Phoenix,
Salt Lake and WY but sounds like he will be on the western end. He hates starting over but with all the changes at Calfrac it just wasnt worth him being gone all the time. He said if he has to make less money, he will do it at this end of the world. Plus he only applied at companies that had a ride along policy so after 90 days, I can go with him. He said that he had had enough of us being separated so that was the main reason he took this job. The money is OK and we can live on it so I guess we will see. He can always go back to oil if this doesn't work out. Today was his first day of training and he said he hates being the new guy but he was in good spirits when he left. He was just tired of the cold and being in the man camp. I hope he doesn't have to go back and that this works out. Cliff was excited cause we always have so much fun when we travel and he said where we can be together it would be fun.
We ordered some new monitors for our PA system and can't wait for them to get here. We needed them bad. Cliff thought they were here yesterday when the UPS man stopped but he delivered some Paula Dean bowls that he had ordered me as part of his points from Calfrac. Then the bowls were real small and he was disappointed cause he thought they were like big mixing bowls and they are more like small money dishes. I told him we needed these more than bigger ones. These are perfect for dipping sauces.
We had Harlee the last couple days so Teddi could go do some girl things with her friends and sure enjoyed her. Grandpa said he was wore out from herding heifers but he sure loves these little girls. He had to be careful not to hurt Gabby's feelings as she is his baby as far as she is concerned, but she was real good about him loving on Neo and we even got to snuggle Tobie girl last night. Sweet sweet girls. Poor Oliva just cried because she didn't want to go back to Vegas and go to school but we promised her she could spend the night next week. Cliff said we will put up our little tent and let them play house in it. They are gonna have so much fun.Cliff got this picture of Harlee and Digger. I sent it to Toby and he said Digger is the Dogfather LOL
So I am cleaning up the after math of the kids being here. My OCD is in overdrive so I am bleaching everything and mopping floors like a mad woman. I have been in spring cleaning mode for a couple days. I love it that it is getting so warm: 73 today. I have the water on the lawn right now and it is starting to green up. I have to get some weed and feed on it in the next couple weeks. So life is good and rolling on. I have a Big Smile today

First Day Back
Well I have been away for over a year due to some strange circumstances but I'm back. I have been on Facebook but just can't stand all the garbage that has grown out of that medium, plus I find blogging much more rewarding so I am excited to be back.
The cold is finally over and it looks like spring. Only in southern Nevada can winter be one week and then spring the next day. I love it. It has been 60 this afternoon and just beautiful. Gabby and I had lunch with Cha at Panda Garden (yum like always) Gabby put a gallon of soy sauce on her rice and salt. I swear she just loves salty things. She is napping right now and getting ready for her dance and mini-drill team review tonight during the basketball game at the high school. She is so excited.
Looking forward to this weekend. We are having Gabby's birthday party in Las Vegas at the Butterfly Park and then spending the night with Teddi and Donnie and going to church for Tobie Marie's dedication on Sunday morning. Looking forward to seeing the babies.
Wish Cliff was here but hopefully he can find a job closer to home and be done with this North Dakota crap soon. That's the plan so hope it works. We are both done with this traveling stuff. Anyway he will be home Wednesday so hip hip hooray! It's almost boating weather, Viva Las Vegas is coming soon, and The River Run is at the end of April. I love this time of year!!
