June 29 2009

Grandpa: Yesterday, i woke up at 5:01 a.m. Came in here, drank coffee, got ready to go play golf. Left at 20 minutes to 6. 5:40 a.m. Played golf. Got home around 8:30. Stayed here till grandma and darian left. Worked out. Came home. Went to Bills and got a whole chicken. Because Parkers was closed for vacation. Came home. Took a shower. Went on a hike to goose creek. Walked about 2 and a half miles. Came home really tired. Went to bed at nine thirty p.m. Today, got up at 6:01 a.m. Watched t.v., drank coffee, got ready for work, left at 7:20. Went by and got some gas for the truck before i got to work. Went to work. Did some paper work. Left at 8:30. Came home. Carried the truck to Truckers Toy Store to put the side steps(pimped his ride) Grandma helped me. She came and picked me up. Drove the suburban back to work. Stayed at work untill 11:30. Came home for lunch. Ate lunch. Waiting for Grandma. We left about 12:30 to pick my truck up. It was ready. Went back to work. Went to Rocky Mount. Went to Rock Ridge. Came home. Worked out. And now i'm eating at approximately 6:50 p.m.

Grandma: Yesterday was a fun and exciting day. We went to goose creek state park. Had a picnic lunch then attended a show in the education center called snake of the month. The forest ranger showed us a mud snake. It is pink and black stripes under the bottom. Really pretty. After that we went on a hike down the goose creek trail and the flatty creek trail photographing wild life and various vegetation as we went. As we were walking back to the truck i was photographing leaves, frogs smashed in the road and other various items of interest when i suddenly spotted a copperhead. Snake was about a foot long. And about two feet from my foot. (darian: it was poisonous. wow!) I took 3 pictures of it while grandpa hollered 'Don't get near it it's poisonous! Don't get near it it's poisonous! Don' get near it it's poisonous!' It was slowly slithering away from me so i was not really afraid. Darian stood back on the other side of the road watching in awe. (darian: no i wasn't) I was really excited about seeing the copperhead. We returned home. I was not tired. Went to bed at 11:39 p.m. Today, I went to the dentist. No cavities. And when i returned home Darian helped me clean up the house. We took up the rug in the living room. Vacuumed alot of sand up from under it. It was a dirty sweaty job. Darian worked hard (darian:...er than grandma) Maybe i'll be tired like grandpa so i can go to bed at 9:30 p.m.

Darian: Well, today. oh, Yesterday, we went on a hike. It was quite facinating. I touched a snake. Also, i layed in the middle of the road for a little bit. I saw a poisonous snake. And a ate a sandwich. It was real good. I got bit by a couple of bugs. And a bee followed me down the road for a while. I kicked it a few times. I don't think he liked that. On the way there i had my window down and my head was out and a dragonfly almost flew on my head. Ohyeah, on the hike we saw a million dragonflys. And got chased by a butterfly for like 10 minutes. He followed us down the road. Today, i woke up at 8:26 because gus was barking alot. I layed around the house for a while and then i got ready to go to the gym. I waited for grandma and grandpa to get back from the TTS. Then me and grammy went to the gym. I ran 4 miles in forty minutes. Then i went to the bathroom and waited for grandma to finish excercising. After that we went to staples and got a bulletin for our summer bulletin board and we got a buncha pictures developed. They're real good. Then we cleaned up the house. I wasn't too excited about that. Then grandpa got home and he brought me some ice cream so i ate some. Then we watched a little piece on michael jackson. And that's it. The end.

Poems

Grandma: Summer Fun
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
I'm not good at writing poems.
Are you?
Summer is here.
Dar is too.
Grandpa wants to watch
Die hard 2.
Gus is chewing on a bone.
The noise is bothering some.
If you want to hear it,
To our house you must come
Dar's list of things to do
Is keeping us busy.
I hope we finish soon-
It is making me dizzy.
By: Grandma
Grandpa: According to Gus
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Gus Boy thinks this is dumb,
And so do I!
By: Grandpa
Darian: Lime Boy
Once upon a time
A boy was eating a lime
It tasted really bad
He was a real sad lad
He went to the store
So he could get some more
They were all out
He pout...ed
He headed for home
To get his comb
So he could brush his hair
Because whenever he goes to the store his hair sometimes gets kind of messed up from the wind in the air
He walked in the door
And looked on the floor
He couldn't believe his eyes
He saw some key lime pies
He ate a few
What can you do?

Grandma: Today i got up at 7:59 a.m. I had to get ready to go to boot camp. Boot camp was hard as usual. I am not a good runner. I am good at some of the other stuff though. I can um, not only touch my toes but lay my hands flat on the ground and no body else can. (darian: i can) the bird that we are talking about is a killdeer who has a nest/depression in the driveway sort of behind where i park my car. I have to be careful backing out. This is picture Dar took of Rebecca. She is not real happy in the picture. She has four eggs. You can't see them. Sorry. I'm done.




Darian: Today i woke up at 8:07 a.m. I ate some fruit loops. They were delicious. Then i had to get ready to go to boot camp. I couldn't find my white shorts :( so i had to wear my new star shorts. We went to boot camp and did too much running. (grandma: amen!) When boot camp was over me, grandma, terry, and lily decided to jump into the pool attached to the gym with all of our clothes on. It was a thrill. Except the water tasted like salt. Not good. Then we came home and got ready to go eat lunch when grandpa gets home from work. Now, i'm brushing my teeth. Bye. Picture of me and grandma wet from the pool later.




Grandpa: Today is saturday, june 27th. I had to work this morning. Um, lets see, i had a customer come in and buy a stihl string trimmer. I had another customer that came and bought a 6,000 dollar mower and a 500 dollar chainsaw. I had a truck come to pick up a tractor that was going to Ohio. I got off work, came home, picked up the dynamic duo. We went to Cici's pizza and ate. Grandma complained a little. We drove to raleigh. I spent most of my 100 dollar gift card. I only have 9.28 cent left. We went to Sams, We went to Staples, went to Agri-Supply and Garner. Didn't stay long. Came home. Was gonna spray some round up but the wind was blowing too hard so walked for 35 minutes and then came in and excercised. Approximately an hour. Now i'm sitting here eating a cucumber in vinager and dictating this stupid blog to Dar.




Grandma: Attached is a picture of Rebecca's eggs taken by my cell phone on June 12th. That was about the time she layed them. We are not sure when they will hatch.


Darian: Here's me and grammy after we jumped in the pool :)

June 25 2009

Darian: We have guest bloggers tonight :) Ken, Abby, Ashley, and Emma.

Ashley: Good evening everyone. I'm honored to be a part of this blogging experience. I really don't know what to say except that I'm hoping to read some interesting things in the next couple of days...right, Darian?????

Abby: I went swimming. I had a softball picnic. We had lots of fun. Let me think. I'm at my cousins house right now. I ate hot dogs. I wish i could crack my knuckles. Peace out.

Emma: Hello. I went to the pool today. I went to fire fighters station. I ate oatmeal cookies. I ate corn dogs. I listened to music. I went to a softball picnic with my sister Abby. Ow, i got something in my eye. Um, let's see, I played my new game Cooking Mama 2 and it's really fun. You should buy it. And i wrote down stuff on the blog. Goodbye.

Ken: What's up world? Today was totally awesome! Wait, that sounds kind of nerdy. Today was a normal day..work. nothing exciting until after work when we had a party for our softball team, gave out trophies, etc. I am very proud of the girls and am looking forward to the next season. Have a good night.

Grandpa: I got up this morning at the same time i did yesterday morning. I went to work at 7:22 a.m. I got roy to go get the tractors from Zelenka nursery. It took 5 trips to get 22 tractors. Whatever you say you're gonna write right? I came home from lunch. The bird had a fit. Wait i left out something. I went and got my license tag for my truck today. It cost me $204. What did i do this afternoon? Oh, i went to truckers toy store to pimp my ride. I went to Zelenka nursery. I called the social security office on the phone today. I talked with somebody named Beth. Got a little information and still don't understand it. I went back to work. Stayed at work untill 5:15 p.m. Came home. That's all i did today.

Grandma: Uh, I had a great day today. Got up early. Walked the dog. Showered up and got ready to go to Clayton to visit my 3 schools to waste medicine. But first i had to harrass Darian to get up and get moving. Everything went well. We stopped at Flowers store for an almost famous hotdog and a mountain dew slushie. It was great! Then Darian made me go to Rocky Mount. So she could crawl the mall. And try to find the perfect outfit for sea world. I came home from the shopping trip exhausted only to go to the gym to be personally trained by Trey who is 25 and trains me like he thinks i might be 25. But i'm really alot older. Okay um, ate at Quizno's. Hung around doing word puzzles 'till Ashley, Ken, Abby and Emma showed up. Now enjoying visiting with family and enjoying a little family blogging time.

Darian: Today has been amazing. I went to Grandma's schools and she talked to a lady for a really long time and i got real bored. Then we had a mountain dew slushie which was a real hassle because they weren't too easy to drink and so then i had to put it in the sun so it could melt. I put it in a treacherous place. Grandma liked it. Also the place where we got the slushie from was real cool. We decided that you could live in a convenient store for about a year or two. We went to rocky mount. Then came home and the family came over. And we blogged as a family. It was great fun. My aunt was threatening me alot. I enjoyed it. The end. P.s. I'm going to sea world! :D

June 24 2009

Grandpa: I got up this morning at ten minutes after six a.m. I made coffee and watched t.v. a little while untill about 10 minutes seven a.m. I took a shower and got ready for work. Got a cereal bar for breakfast. Got in the truck. Drove to work. I stayed at work 'till about 8:45 and went to farmville. Came back home. Trimmed the nose hair in my nose. Went back to work. Washed my lawn mower a little bit. Jonnie Lewis called. I sold him an Hx 14 cutter. Had to get it ready but couldn't find the pto shaft. It was missing. Robbed one from a cutter at the Kinston store. Roy the truck driver brought it. Put it on. Roy delivered the cutter. I ordered some parts for my new mower that hasn't come in yet. Left work around 5:30. Came home. Cut grass. Leveled the mower. Cut grass some more. Lowered the gauge wheel. Cut grass some more. Sprayed a tank of round up on the pasture. Came inside. Got Gus Boy. Went outside. Hit about 15 golf balls. Came back in and started doing this stupid blog. That's it.

Grandma: Today i taught Darian how to cook...a little bit. She made 7 layer salad with only five layers because she refused to put onions or celery in there. Anyway, it tasted great. She also made deviled eggs and red velvet cupcake piggy's. Everything was wonderful. Then we played Nancy Drew. We would've gotten more points and won better if i had gotten to drive, but i didn't. (darian: haha) Tomorrow, going to Clayton to waste medicines at my schools.

Darian: Today, we went to the gym. It felt like a really long time. I watched t.v. on the treadmill. It's really cool. Like a built in t.v. I watched Vh1 and jon and kate plus 8 and spongebob and cashcab. It didn't make the experience go by any faster though. Then we went to the pool. I can almost swim the full length :D I won the farthest swimming contest. Me and abby and logan and a kid named cutter, i think that's what he said. I don't know. Anyways, we played a buncha games. Like rock the pool. That's where everyone gets in line at the diving board and jumps in one after the other as fast as you can (w/o jumping on the person in front of you.) and you try and make a big splash and then all the splashes of people get combined. Resulting in the pool rocking. I still don't know why they call it rock the pool ;) Then we came home and made a lot of food. Salad, cupcakes, and eggs. We then played Nancy Drew. I was driving and no one in the world could possibly have driven better. But i was really sad. Because we didn't become the highest ranking. Probably because Grandma was distracting me or something. And if you got the highest ranking you got an alternate ending :( Ohwell. Now i'm sitting in the living room waiting for grandpa to get back so he can write his part of the blog. I'm pretty sure grandpa loves writing in the blog. Well, that's all.

June 23 2009

Grandma: Today, um, i helped darian, uhh, make some lemonade with real lemons. She's really slow. Then we went to the Wal-Mart and bought everything we needed there for tomorrows red velvet cupcake piggys. Mmm. We now have a new Nancy Drew game and i hope maybe Darian will let me drive sometimes.
P.s. I'm supposed to teach Darian to sew next week and we bought some material and a pattern at the Wal-Mart. If she sews as fast as she makes lemonade, she'll be wearing it when she's my age.

Darian: Today, i made lemonade. I went really fast. It tastes delicious. Me and grammy are drinking it right now. Also, we went to Wal-Mart and bought alot of things. Like pizza rolls. Now, we're about to play Nancy Drew so i gotta write this fast. Bye. P.s. I don't plan on letting grandma drive.

June 21 2009

Grandma: First day of blogging ever. Never even read a blog. Today we went to sunday school, ate at the good taste buffet(which is chinese food, which in my opinion should be named the bad taste buffet because i don't care for it at all) We had a little fathers day celebration at Ashley's where she served us fruity dessert pizza. We worked out at the gym. Helped gramps clean out the shelter to make room for his new lawmower. Darian drove the truck down to the trash pile. I stayed out of the way. Usual sunday night supper at Burger Boy.

Grandpa: I had a great father's day. Got great gifts. Ditto.

Darian: Today, i drove grandpa's truck. Also, i got bit by a bug and got a big bug bite. Currently we're watching a show about a real big burrito. I could eat it. The end.
