May 15,& 16, 2010

Saturday 15~~~~ Today we were all invited to go to Jen's (Justin's girlfriend) graduation party from College in Albany. Kent drove to Portland to watch his grandsons play ball and I drove with Shelby to the party. It was a fun day getting to meet Jen's parents, we enjoyed a lovely lunch and had a great time visiting and listening to all the college friends that were there telling funny stories. After we ate cake and Jen opened her presents and it was time to head home. When I got back to Salem, I picked up my grandson Bodie and took him to our house to spend a couple of nights with Kent and I. He loves it at Grandma's house and he is a real good little helper. He and Kent unloaded all those rocks we picked up Laughlin, Nevada. Bodie has gone to Mass with me since he was about 3 or4 years old, so he looks forward to that when he stays with me. He had a new shirt with him and he reminded me before Church that I needed to iron his new shirt to wear. One time when he was staying overnight at my house, (he was just learning the alphabet) I have a clock that shows the time on the ceiling. When he woke up, he looked at the ceiling, pointed and said " Hey Nonnie! It says AM just like we do when we go to your church!!!! I thought that was a classic coming so innocent from such a little boy!

Sunday 16~~~~Today was Kent's birthday and we celebrated it at Pam and Jeff's house as they now have the most room. We had a pot luck, so there was lots of good food. Pam and Jeff have added a new addition to their family room, by knocking out a few walls and building out, they really added a lot of square feet to the existing room. They are redoing the whole kitchen and the dining room will now extend further into the family room, so it really has a lot more room now. Some of us played hand and foot cards, some played "Screwie Louie" and some played golf and bowling with the "Wi" game. They have room to do it all now, Pammy and Jeff are going to do a lot of the work them selves, but the builders have it all framed, walled in and the doors and windows in. We are all excited about all the room we will have for Christmas already. Being's it was the last night for the "Survivor" show, we all headed home in time to watch the show, Bodie spent another night at or house and I will drive him to school in the morning.
