More Pictures

I sort of feel lost without baseball. I feel like I'm playing hookie or something, and really should be somewhere doing something. But, alas, baseball is over, and my evenings are my own again. So I think I may blog more. School is out, the kids are already bored. I am making Kylie a book with topics she has to write about one each day to help her keep up with all the work her IEP team did this year. She's going into 5th grade, and the writting will get tougher for her; best to keep her skills as sharp as we can.

Rhett will be going into 7th grade. His report card was really poor last week, but I don't know what to do with him. I think middle school will be a very rude awakeing for him. Time will tell.

Anthony is now a HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE... see post below...he is working at Wild Island again. In the fall, he will be going to and working at UNR. He got a scholarship or two. Good thing, because we can't afford it otherwise. Dang, education is expensive.

The Nevada Department of Wildlife was very generous to the Woodward family this year. Starting the end of August we will be hunting for 2 antelope, (J and Anthony) 1 mule deer (me), and a California big horn sheep (J). We are all very excited.


Rhett and Kirby...back when the Scottie dog needed a hair cut. So does the boy as a matter of fact.

Sienna with her freaky eyes. This dog is utterly crazy.

Kylie with her birthday "Build a Bear" dog, Megan. J and I took her there as it was all she really wanted for her birthday. Then she had two friends spend the night, had pizza and wings, and of course birthday cake. I can't believe she is 10 already. Time goes by so fast.

Anthony's girlfriend is Mandi. Madni's grandma sent me these beautiful flowers for mother's day.

A cute dog paw. Kodi's I think. Just a random pic I had to share.

I put bird seed out in the back yard and we have gotten quite a large group of birds. The best being of course, the many doves. Just tonight we had 8 mourning doves, and we have a pair of ring neck doves as well. I refer to them all as my "mini me's". Here are two of them on the wire above the workshop.

J and I at the Aces game. It was sooooo cold that night. I think I couldn't feel my toes for 3 days after.

Anthony Graduates from High School!!

Friday, June 10, 2011. Anthony became a high school graduate yesterday. I am so very proud of him.

Getting ready to head out...

A full house...

Diploma in hand...


18 years ago this sweet boy came into our lives. I can't believe we now stand here at the end of his schooling as a child.


The Woodward Family...


Two proud Grandpas...Wish the grandmas could be a part of this picture as well, but I am certain they were in spirit.


Advanced High School Diploma...

Another Update

I am such a blog looser. But J's Aunt Alaine asked me to update more when we were in Idaho for Grandma Woodward's funeral last month and I forgot my password, but I finally figured it out, so here I am again.

In March I bought myself a laptop with my bonus from work, with the intentions of being able to blog more since I didn't have to fight J for the desk top, and I could blog while sitting in the recliner.

Woody is getting ready to graduate high school in like 20 days or so. CRAZY!!. How did he grow up so fast, and how am I old enough to be the mom of a child graduating high school? It seems like just yesterday we were finding out I was pregnant with him. He is such a good kid; he has straight A's right now, has perfect attendance, and took his AP German test a couple of weeks ago. He should pass it with flying colors and get college credits. He will get an advanced diploma for taking AP German. Four years of german...He is taking a pretty tough bunch of classes this year. In addition to german, he is taking Physics, trig & pre caluc, english lit, government, and foods. Yeah, I'm a bit proud of him. In April, he went to prom with his girlfriend of two years. He cleaned up pretty nice.


Mr. Butler and Louie Blue are playing baseball again this spring. Both are on the Red Sox. Mr. B is on the Majors and Louie Blue is on the AA. It worked out nicely as they play on the same nights and back to back, so we aren't having to spend our entire week up at the ball park.
