The many instruments of my Nathan
Nathan has always been very interested in music and especially making music, I don't think their is an instrument he wont try. (I believe he get's it from his great grampa Melvin)
He started with an electric guitar.
Loved the drums.
And now he's playing the trumpet in Band at school.

Galleon Ship Float
Nathan had a great time with his class project of building a ship out of anything as long as it floated. His daddy helped him make a pretty awesome ship (daddy only cut the styrofoam). The class then walked from school to One Mile and ate lunch, then set their ships afloat. It was a great time had by all who attended.

Ooops, I Ripped my pants!
Nathan has always had the major junk in his trunk, not that it's a bad thing. Today at school it got the best of him and his booty made his shorts split in half, what sucks is he went to the nurses office to change and he told her that I sent him to school that way; puhleez!!!! Apparently during P.E. they split and all the kids laughed at him (Nay thought that was pretty cool) and he had to go put on a pair of school "emergency" shorts.
Oh, and Lynn says Hi from the laptop...

Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If you can't eat it or play with it, pee on it and walk away.

Bless our Firefighters!
More Than 840 Fires Burn Across Northern Calif.
Concerns About Unhealthy Air Rise
CBS News) ― In less than a day, an electrical storm unleashed nearly 8,000 lightning strikes that set more than 800 wildfires across Northern California - a rare example of "dry lightning" that brought little or no rain but plenty of sparks to the state's parched forests and grasslands.
The driest season in memory has turned the countryside into a tinderbox and it could be an historic fire season, reports CBS Correspondent Sandra Hughes from Chico, Calif. Record low rainfall, bone-dry brush and unseasonably high winds all coming together for a perfect firestorm.
Fire crews in California have a lot of experience fighting wildfires. But they'd never seen the countryside explode into flames the way it has over the past few days. More than 800 wildfires are burning in northern California -- an area that hasn't had a good, soaking rain in months.
"It was explosive conditions up there, real hot, the fire kept breaking on us and slopping over so we had to really work hard," said Battalion Chief Merlin Turner of the Richmond Fire Department in Northern California.
Thousands of firefighters battled the blazes Tuesday from the ground and air. No homes had been destroyed, but voluntary evacuations were in place for residents of at least 25 homes, officials said.
Firefighters who contained a fire in Napa are heading off -- without rest -- to the nearby Walker fire, Hughes reports. And while reinforcements are coming from Nevada, Oregon and Montana, firefighters are starting to show signs of fatigue.
"People are tired right now, people are starting to show the sign of wear that we wouldn't see until late in the summer," said Battalion Chief David Shew.
One of the biggest problems firefighters are facing is that there are 300 vacant positions and a shortage of fire engines at the U.S. Forest Service.
So cash-strapped California is looking anywhere it can to pump up its own firefighting budget.
The lightning storm struck California when the state was experiencing one of its driest years on record. Earlier this month, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a statewide drought and directed agencies to speed up water deliveries to drought-stricken areas. Many communities are have adopted strict conservation measures.
The weekend's lighting storm combined with extremely dry conditions to spark about 840 separate blazes from the Big Sur area of Monterey County to Del Norte County on the Oregon border.
By contrast, 574 lightning-sparked fires blackened about 55,000 acres in Northern California in all of 2007.
On Tuesday, fire crews from Nevada and Oregon arrived after Schwarzenegger requested extra help. Smoke from the fires has darkened skies in the San Francisco Bay area and Central Valley, causing public health officials to issue air-quality warnings.

The things that boys will do to have fun.
Nathan and his daddy (and a friend) went camping last weekend and decided that kayaking down a snowy hill sounded fun...
They call this snowyakin' and it's the best time ever. I have a sneaky suspicion that was a four letter word coming out of Adam's mouth when he hit the water!!
Lol. Summer Fun!!

I'm TiRed!!
It's funny how the body has it's own internal clock, mine knows that it's Friday, I don't have Nay and I don't have to wake up at 5:30 a.m. So it's all worn out.
I don't use an alarm clock, "something" wakes me up on work days at precisely 5:28 a.m.. Sometimes I'll be dreaming that I'm telling myself to wake up and I do and it's always 5:28. That also means that I will wake up tomorrow morning all rosey sunshine at 5:30 and have to convince myself to go back to sleep and snuggle.
