October 11 Update on the GrandsonsFor those who have been a reader of my blog for the past few years know I am proud of the grandson and blog a lot about them for those of you who are new "It's true". ;)
Levi is now 15 and has been involved in Washington Co Explorers program and this year he went to booth camp for the new recruits to work with them. He has also was a counselor at outdoor school this year and he coached the wresting team at the middle school. This is what happen this pass week and we are all excited.
This week in the mail my daughter got a notice from People to People that Levi has been nominated by someone to be a student ambassador and if accepted ( he has to go threw and application processes). He will get to travel to Australia and New Zealand next summer. none of us could offer that type of opportunity to the boys! He was supper excited about it when she told him! We wish it told us who nominated him. We would love to thank them!
He is a good kid and wants to go to Officers training in the Navy he sure headed in the right direction.
Jessie is 16 and also in the explorers, was excepted in collage so instead of being a Jr going to high school he is a Jr going to collage, his school district is paying for the first 2 years..WHAT A DEAL!!
and the past two weeks in his life.
Jesse earned his Pro Marksman for prone position last week ( laying down) He so was not expecting it as he had only been to 2 practices. So that was way cool! They where passing out awards and patches and the last one was Jesse, the coach called his name and he was looking around for another Jesse to step forward! LOL then he realized the coach was looking at him LOL and this week. he was awarded his Marksman and Marksman First class ( i know odd that pro comes first LOL) They even set him up with a shooting jacket and a sling and glove. The jacket looks a bit like a straight jacket LOL it has buckles and straps on it to hook the slings on. The sling hold the arm in pone positions. and the glove gives limited movement of the fingers. Jesse is working on becoming a peace-officer. (cop)
I know both of these boys are young and still have some life's hard decisions to make and will not always make the rights ones. I am well aware they are boys and far from perfect but I am very proud of them. You read so much in the paper and see on the news the things and trouble teens get into that if is great to see kids do what they do. I think the fact some of their friends also are going in the same directions at less make good grades and have a direction they wish to go even though it may not be cops or officers in the service. Also mom and dad are very involved in the boys school and out of school activities. I will never understand when a group of 13/14 years old are picked up at 2am, where the HELL is the family!!!???
Ok I will stop smiling and close this..:) (see photos of jess below)
Peace

PEACE JESSIE October 05 Just Me!Hello blog world!! Here we are in Oct, and the weather changed fast. I started deep water excerise class I go twice a week and it has been interesting but enjoyable. I hope it will help my knees. I want to get a bike to ride here in the estates as there isn’t much traffic except for golf cars and I can paddle faster than they go..lolol The grandkids are back into school so they are really busy with school and after school activities. Both are doing so well but they grow too fast. Since I took the transfer to a different office for the company I work for I cut my mileage down from 660 every two week to 380 wow what a difference on the gas bill and I am also car pooling Have you fallen asleep yet Have a wonderful week.

It has rained the last couple days and will for the next few. I even had the fire place going this morning to take the dampness out of the house. 
..lololo one mows the front, 1 mows the back and 1 does the edging. I told my daughter they were done before I would had the 50ft drop cord rolled out… 
so I only drive 5 days every two weeks so that cuts it to 190 every two weeks what a blessing. The gal I car pool with is very nice and we have a lot in common she is just a year older so we chat all the way.
?? LOLO Ok I will give you a break and end this.
