Josh...Off To The National Gaurd Youth Challange Program..........

Joshua, my oldest is 16 and left last week for the Oregon National Guard Youth Challenge Program. It will teach him discipline (military style) & help him finish up high school and hopefully motivate him to find a career or make some goals for his future. He's been there for 5 days now. I sure wish I could talk to him but we can only write to each other. We'll see him on the 2nd of March on his first break. This program goes until the 13th of June. This picture was taken just a few days before he left & when he had hair!
This is Joshua right after I buzzed all of his wonderful hair off! They had to show up to camp with a buzz. I love this picture....it's so funny!! Just like Josh!

This is Joshua and his girlfriend the morning we left. We stopped by her place so Joshua could say goodbye.

At least he's got a good head for being almost bald! :)

We had to travel over the cascade mountains to get to the camp in Bend. I just love snow!!!! We just put our chains on and took our time. Had no troubles at all. Josh & I pulled over a few times and had snow ball fights and just took pictures. We really had a fun trip over there.

Snow covered trees!

Josh just had to stop and take some pictures of these ice cycle's. There were some larger ones on the way but they were in a place by the road where it just wasn't safe to pull over to get pictures.

On the way to Bend.

Loved the snow covered road!!

Joshua checking our chains. Right after this picture was taken he nailed me with a huge snowball!! LOL

Josh in the snow!

Love those snow plows!!

Here's the outside of the building where Joshua's at for the next 5.5 months.

This is a great opportunity for Joshua. I'm already missing him. We'll get to see him on March 2nd for a few days but until then it's only letters.

New Collection.....

I've decided to start collecting something new..........Snowbabies!!! I just love them...always have. I bought my first two the other day at a Hallmark store. They were even half off!!! Below are pictures of my first two snowbabies!! My favorite of the two is the top one. I'm going to start telling my family when they ask what I want for Christmas or birthdays that I want snowbabies! That should please them. Usually when they ask I say, "I don't know". LOL

Finally....A New Post!!!

I have not blogged forever! Not sure why. Life has been busy as normal but I guess I've just been feeling lazy. lol Thursday we had snow! It was sure pretty! Below are some pictures I took early in the morning. I was outside in my pj's & camera & it was still dark and brrrrr was it cold!

Yes, we need to take our Christmas light down!! lol

I love snow on trees!

Our drift boat! Yep, we need to cover it but I thought it looked cute in the snow.


Another tree with snow!

Wow! A light with snow!

Yep, yet another tree with snow!

We didn't have time that day to make a snowman so we pulled over a few times and took pictures of snowmen others had made. I'm sure they thought we were strange for taking pics our their snowmen! lol

Josee actually hopped out of the car to stand next to this snowman. He has a tiny little snow buddy to the right of him if you look real close!

Harley was getting hungry so she thought she'd see how John tasted!

Josee & Harley.......smile!!!

Kiss Kiss!!!!

My daughter does the oddest thing with her tongue. Not sure how she folds it up this way but she does. Her cousin Park can do it too but nobody else in the family can.

Johnny's had a pretty hard week this week with his diabetes. It's been worring me. His blood sugar has been up and down from 600 & something to 70. His doctor can't seem to get it steady again. Hopefully any day now his blood sugar will be better. It's sure not good for him to have high sugars for so long.

Joshua is leaving on Wednesday for a military style school for 5 1/2 months. He's 16 now but the longest he's ever been gone from home is 1 1/2 months. I'm not looking forward to this at all but if it helps him get motivated and finish up high school it will be worth it!
