KK......NEW YORK...2012

KK arrived in New York today.....Sorry no pics until KK sends me some....

Jayda girl Grandpa's little Princess

Some say she takes after me....and I say...

Some is pretty darn accurate!

holla

Its been a minute...lets catch up

First....Alex OMG The Eldest grandson...carrying the torch of his dad Jason...as they say "The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree" well Alex has been suspended from school for the remainder of his 7th grade year HELLO WELCOME TO JR HIGH!
Why you ask? at least I think you ask....Its a combination of things disrupting class, talking, not listening, showing off, for attention no doubt, disrespectful toward teachers which is most alarming to me and the final straw that caused this suspension was damaging school property Throwing Lacrosse balls at the football score board..causing over $1000 in damage..He wasn't alone in this act he along with a friend were caught in the act. they both got punished and suspended but Alex received the worst because of all the other previously mentioned issues...I could go on and on but its really too exhausting.
As bad as it seems he actually dodged a bullet because he could have been expelled for 80 days which would have adversely affected his 8th grade year and high school credits. It helped that his grades are really good and being on the honor roll. Lesson learned I hope. Mom Steph has him on a strict punishment I think and he seems to be very upset with his situation. At the school hearing that we attended to address this issue he rarely looked up, started crying and admitted to all his wrong doings " stating that he will change his behavior"...I will attempt to keep all updated but this is soooooooooooooooooooooo tiring...holla
NEXT!
Why a Target logo you ask? or at least I think you ask..
Ive been working there for the past 2 months (making extra income) on a Seasonal remodel team 10PM -6AM overnights...Its been very enlightening especially since Ive never really worked an hourly job my entire life not to mention learning how to punch a time clock and take breaks and lunch at a specific time or sleeping during the day. Its a whole different mind set but it is somewhat rewarding to make this life adjustment at 59..changes just keep coming...and yes I'm still selling spiritwear to schools...but the economy has hit the schools very hard which forced me go out and secure more normal means of income..

Finally ....summing up...my babygirl is going to the BIG APPLE NEW YORK CITY HOLLA...she has been offeredor selected or whatever its called to do a 2 month internship with the VF company "that's Vanity Fair" so if you don't know now you know....under the VF company umbrella are many many popular brands that you recognize like Nautica, Kipling, Jansport, Eastpak, Northface, just to mention a few. KK will be interning in a number of depts getting well rounded in all but I think mainly in the HR area..she;s pretty siked about it because shes always wanted to go to NEW YORK in hopes to meet Bethany or her new 2012 crush Tim Tebow...like that will ever happen. There's no harm in dreaming. Now back to whats real ,at least she will get to ride a subway, see a Broadway show, visit Time Square ,the 911 memorial ground zero, dodge some Taxi's and finally see how everybody in NY wears black.
With that said I'm really tired of typing and thinking of stuff to say so I'm out till next time.

Payton @ Alex's Lax games..

Payton supposedly wants to be like his big brother and play Lacrosse but somehow he always manages to get distracted at Alex's games...here he is with his good friend Oliver( Simon's little brother who is also on the team) they managed to find a shed and some woods near the Lacrosse field

Payton brought his IPAD

the rest is history

so much for watching Lacrosse.... at least I didn't have to watch Payton every second

Finally some Lax pics

As promised here are a few recent pics of Alex on the Lakota East Jr high Lacrosse team. This particular game was against Summit Country Day..we won 7-0...

The pics here are random and in so certain order....but Alex did play and he played well

Since this game their record is 4 wins and 1 loss

All smiles with a victory

more to come!

2nd Lax game against Mason......

VICTORY!!!!

7-0

Alex played pretty good had some great passes and hustled quite a bit. He really handles the stick and ball very well.

Payton and Steph were there early..she's really doing great getting Alex back and forth to practices I'm so proud of her.

Payton spent the entire time playing on his IPAD...that kid is spoiled ...rotten plus his hair is "out of control"

Terri and KK arrived fashionably late ...as always I wouldn't expect anything different..at least they showed

next game Summit Country Day...this will be very interesting..Summit is usually pretty good in Lacrosse

Horrible in football and basketball but good in Lacrosse

pics to follow as I keep saying. I promise I wont forget my camera.

You at least gotta see Payton's hair!

1st Lax game Lakota vs Lebanon

Unfortunately I was unable to attend the game...I was caught in traffic on I-75. Had to choose between feeding the dogs and driving to Lebanon. The dogs won but Lakota lost 7-3

I did however speak with Alex and his explanation for the defeat was that " we just did not run our plays"

Short conversation but a lot was said,

I heard a grandson that was showing a glimpse of maturity. he fessed up to why they lost. In the past he would've blamed the refs or someone else.It was really nice hearing him say that..it meant a lot.

Next game Monday vs Mason I believe....I wont miss this one and there will be pics.

Oh yea he did say that the entire team got new helmets...

I cant wait to see them!

later

Perfect North Ski Slopes.....Indiana

Alex and Payton are shown here tubing at Perfect North slopes in Indiana...treated by Jason while he was back visiting from the LEFT COAST

The bond still appears pretty strong

A true blessing

A Blast from the Past.....4 LIFE!

This is Alex and Christian lining up and preparing to take the field in 2010(Chritsian is directly behind Alex , It was the Championship Game against TEAM 2 the reigning champions for the past years......I'm setting it up this way to prepare you for the letter that Christian wrote for a school essay project...This letter will touch your heart...it sure did mine.This was a great time for the boys and the parents... that bonds Team 4

4 LIFE

Now what?

There is a story....

I promise you !

So long my peeps.........

Here they are ...my partners in crime...we would meet every Mon , Weds and Friday for 36 visits. In this photo we are actually waiting to leave after one final Blood pressure reading...It is at this time when they all get frisky and start cutting up..this is when their real personalities begin to show.

Amazing thing most of these folks have gone through this rehab thing several times before...and are having to return(that in itself is alarming)...I told them the only way they would see me again is if I just dropped in to harrass them otherwise .....

CYA would wanna BYA
