Hi fav, i have a few minutes at work and thought that i would write you because i haven't really written you in some time. andy is talking about getting a truck with his tax return, i told him that he would probably only get about 600 back. he said he was gonna save the rest for it. so that would be nice. you thinking about
getting a small trailer for yours? if you got an outback type subaru you could haul you 3whr yourself. james has been in town this week so he has been entertained by the littles a few times. we are going to meet sunday for breakfast at fp's. not really planning on a big meal for g&g's aniversary. kind of hard to schedule it around everyones work and stuff. not sure if mike will make it into town he has blizzard conditions to drive thru today. so it may slow him down if the roads get closed. we had a bit of snow mixed with rain and hail today. its pretty cold. i bet all the southern boys your with arent liking the winter weather. love ya mom

Fav,

We didn't do too much today. Everyone slept in pretty late for a change. Went to FP for our usual. Teddy is so funny. In the middle of the meal he says he has to go to the bathroom and he leaves the table. There was only a couple of tables with people sitting at them. Teddy goes into the bathroom pulls down his pants and starts yelling, Danice Danice. I'm across the place at the last table before the back room and can hear him clearly. So I grab Cubby and went to help Teddy. I go thru the swing door and one of the cooks is there telling me that he is just standing there with his pants down. LOL. Sure enough he was. Standing in the dark because he can't reach the light switch, in front of the toilet because it a tall one and he cant scoot backwards onto it.

Afterwards we went to Walmart and I got myself some socks and sweat pants. I was going to stop by G&G's on the way back, but when I called them. Grandma said that they were waiting for Silly to pick them up to go over to Melvin and Kelly's for dinner. So we went on home and played with the puppies for a little bit and took naps. Then later we watched White Christmas. Cubby likes to get up and dance when there's dancing in the movie.

Loves, Mom.

Jeremiah:

ohh nice i have been meaning to ask you since i thought about it today but did my packages come in the mail yet?

Jeremiah:

Mom:
Hello Fav,

Shirley and I got soaking wet today. It was quite a down pour most of the day that we were outside. The boys helped us a little, I made a couple of gates in the chicken coup for going in and out of the chicken yard and Shirley put up chicken wire and buried it. Cubby fell asleep in the chicken coup on a bag of bedding. After a while I dragged the Littles back up the hill and got them out of their wet clothes and tucked them into sleeping bags. The rain gear Shirley and I got them keeps them pretty dry, so they don't really get too wet unless they touch the ground with their knees and bottoms.

Shirley and I spent the weekend making silly comments on facebook. Did you notice? Haha, Amber was laughing at us because we were sitting on Shirley's bed with our lap tops chatting with each other. Got home okay. Gave the two puppies at home baths and put the littles to bed. Wes let Fritz and Hiedi out when we got home, but he didn't get up so I didn't let Hiedi back into his room. She is laying on the floor in front of my door and every once in a while she lets out a little whine. Tough crap Hiedi, at least she is blocking the bottom of the door. Fritz like a good boy is curled up at the foot of my bed and Sadie is laying on your comfortable in the closet.

I'm tired, it's almost 3am. Love you and miss you. Mom XOXOXOX

Jeremiah:
ohh nice i can picture him just moseying on over to the bedding hmmm i gotta try this out and falls asleep hahaha
i cant wait to hang out with them

yeah i noticed and i think you two are dorks sometimes hahahahahha
i miss fritz too
not a whole lot going on here

December 10th, 2010

Jeremiah:
ohh jeez well then solder on hahahahahha
at least its picking up a little bit and some christmas present puppies too woo hahahaha

yeah i know you told me about it so many times does that mean that you have to go back around and fix all those other one for the past 5 years too then

still pretty dry over here but really cold

Mom:
I found the photo of the hole in the roof that we were talking about. Thomas Deitsch had the hole in the roof posted. I dont know if it will open for you. you guys need to post them as jpeg not bmp




Jeremiah:
alright now its hard for to tell where that building is but im pretty sure that is the chapel... there wasnt anybody in there and that was a lil bit ago

yeah i think so

thomas just got back from leave

Mom:
Yea he posted it a while back. marcus is now my friend, =)

Jeremiah:
dammit get on facebook so we can talk

Mom:
I'm driving to shirleys, i wont be on there for a little while.

Jeremiah:
alright well i will get on again at lunch time for me

btw dont forget to pick up the money

Mom:
I got 400 today, will get the rest sunday

From Mom, Thu 12/09/10 12:39 AM

Fav,

I just got done sending several emails out to puppy people. I got a deposit for Emma's smallest puppy tonight, they will be picking him up on the 18th. I did some more sweet looking soldering today. I have more to do tomorrow. The reason for all the soldering is because when we where replacing the water heater, we were putting flexable braided steel lines on the high pressure drain valve on the top of the water heater, (know as the TP valve) now Joseph decided that they need to be redone with regular copper lines. Which is fine, but I wish that had been decided a couple years ago or so. We've replaced so many water heaters in the last 5 years.

I can hear it raining. Must be coming down pretty hard for me to hear over Family Guy. Four more weeks till puppies! Man I hope they are chocolate.

Love Mom

Tue 12/07/10 10:08 PM

Fav,



I think the ladies that help her put together all the boxes like knowing that they made someone smile when they get their box. I'm sure that none of it is real fancy, but I know that Lynda has alot of people or businesses that donate items or funds to help get all the boxes sent. Like the golf balls she sends, I know that those are donated by the local golf courses but Lynda says the used balls are in high demand. I guess there's a few golfer's over there that just want to escape from the daily grind and send some balls sailing.



Cubby and Teddy have taken up wrestling now. They roll over each other and sitting on each other and doing flips onto Teddy's bed. They have the bruises to prove it.



That's cool that you can stay a bit with Andy, just don't over stay. If you stay for an extending period of time, his neighbors will complain that he has extra people living there. You know how people are. Just like calling the office when he did a maintenance start up on his 3 wheeler.



I'm missed chatting with you for a couple of days. Oh well I know you get busy. I soldered some sweet solder joints today. Nice and clean. You'd be so proud. =) hehe. I have puppy people coming over tomorrow night and am meeting someone who is flying up thursday from San Fran for Gretchen's last puppy. Then I will have 3 more puppies to sell. I hope I can get homes for them soon, I have three more litters coming in January.



I'm going to try to get to sleep early tonight. If you log on to facebook, send me a message in case I'm still awake. I maybe because Teddy is over there lying in bed whining because I didn't give them a drink to go to bed. He's been waking up wet way to much. Love you and miss you everyday. Mom XOXOXOX

Tue 12/07/10 6:46 PM

well tell them all thank you for the support i guess..

nah see that didnt work at all cuz i am totally jealous that your eating one...
but im sure i will bring you lunch a few times

andy says i can stay with him in his spare bedroom
that could be nice.. although i might come and snuggle up with fritz hahahahahahahaha

From Mom, Tue 12/07/10 2:57 PM

Wes brought me lunch a little bit ago. i had him running around for me today, i have a puppy going to san fransico, so i had him out picking up a crate and taking her to the vet and stuff. so dont be all jealous because i'm eating an oregon, i dk why they called it that, it should be an idaho. lynda said she got her box mailed out again to you. she packed it herself. said theres some more books, snacks and other stuff. a bunch of ladies say to send they best to you. i guess that means they are thinking of you and hoping your doing fine. they're from all over, ones in england, a couple in austrailia and across the US.

12/7/2010 9:24:17 AM

yeah remember i used to bark and yell at people... mainly teens
yeah and i just laugh with them lils too
i can relate still im just a 19- year old boy hahahaha

yeah i can imagine they would be har to follow if we didnt keep the previous ones on there

yeah i know its been a lil difficult the past few days to get on a computer sorry

love you all

From Mom, Mon 12/06/10 12:34 AM

Haha, riding with me makes you yell? Hmmf. Teddy yells because he learned how to get his way by yelling. I yell along with him and it turns the reason why he is yelling into something funny. Kids are natural comedians you know. Why do you think they are always laughing. When your that age everything is funny. Remember you and Mike used to giggle all the time when ever someone said poop? Ya, ah ha.

Your letters are interesting sometimes. I have to keep scrolling up and down to figure out what your talking about. Makes my life interesting. I missed you today on facebook. I was experiencing techincal difficulties at Shirley's place and wasn't able to get online most of the evening. Sucked.

Hope your mission goes well and you get back ok so you can eat some RKT. Those things are soo good, cereal in your hand. I gotta get some sleep, ugh work tomorrow. We love and miss you bunches and bunches. Mom, XOXOXOX

Sun 12/05/10 7:59 PM

yeah right i thought so too...
the last thing was chocolate and rkt

yeah and i got another one today should be longer but i do have fun driving in the day time so thats nice
i dont get to yell that often... only when i riding with you... i think thats where teddy gets it from

i have it on my hard drive im sure you have it too

no pic of dutch

sounds good then i guess

From Mom, Sun, 5 Dec 2010 02:15:20

Fav, I thought you were eating this stuff faster. LOL OMG that is one full locker, now if you could get a supply of soda, beer and cigarettes you'd have a convenience store. HEHE. What was the last stuff you received that I've shipped you?

I hope your mission today was boring =) that's from the mom in me. I hope you have fun driving on the way back =) that's from the practical side of me. I hope that your thrilled and get a chance to shout at something because yelling is fun, =P that's from Teddy.

I still have that movie I think. Here's a picture of Dutch. Isn't he pretty? G-pa Mobley must be feeling pretty good since he is hating everything.

I love you always, talk to ya later. Mom XOXOXOX

Sat 12/04/10 7:01 PM

alright cool. thank you

and im good on candy i filled a complete foot locker with snackage

i feel like i should be on that movie the heavy weights with my candy stash

From Mom, Fri 12/03/10 8:56 PM

(Jeremiah and I were talking on facebook about the boxes I mailed this day and the cost of the items, we got disconnected. So I emailed this to him.)

I know, I got you a few items more than you asked for. I sent you a few resupply items that I sent you when you first got deployed, the only I've already resupplied was the tooth paste. The underwear cost more than I expected, but I can understand that you would feel more comfortable in the boxer briefs than cotton boxers or regular briefs. I also got you 12 pairs and 20 pairs of socks. I know that I'm always looking for socks, so I imagine the same for you. Plus a couple more items of clothing that you didn't ask for and a few snack items to fill in the rest of the box.

From Mom, Fri 12/03/10 12:14 AM

Ok, I got your stuff packed up, the socks were made in pakistan, I thought that was funny, you could have just gone next door and picked these up yourself. lol.

The boys and sadie miss you too, and fritz. We were looking at photos last night and we were working on saying uncle jeremiah. teddy say unc jeremamama. I can spell wait cubby says uncamama or something like that. hehe. Sadie's ears are looking better, in another day or so I'm gonna pluck out the ear hair.

Oh I better get to sleep. I agreeing with the computer screen again. Fritz is intently licking himself and wiggling the bed. I'm gonna have to give him a kick if he dont stop soon.

We all miss you and love you. Take care of yourself, be safe. Love MOM, XOXOXOXOX

Thu, 2 Dec 2010 01:10:30

well thats good im glad to hear that he is doing better i was scared there for a while.

i miss sadie and the boys... i cant wait to be around all of them

im sorry it took me so long to get to the computer

and i could use some low cut white socks... the have to at least cover my ankles so no

"no shows"

and yeah thats about it

ohh and some boxer briefs prefferably dark colors... like black gray and blue

medium size should do...

From Mom, Thu 12/02/10 12:08 AM

Fav,

Grandpa got moved out the hospital and in to a rehabilation center. This is great news, at the center he will be getting alot more physical therapy, a few hours everyday, verses a few minutes everyday at the hospital. James went back up to be with him today. James had to go thru this kind of thing after his wreck so he can relate to what grandpa is doing at the center. They will push him to work hard at moving around.

Not much else happened today, went to work, was cold but not alot of rain, just sprinkles now and then. It took me 2 hours to clean up the compactor today. It was a mess, hate people. Ugh. The littles went to G&G today. I had Wes call and order and then pick up medicine for Sadie's ears. Her ears have been more trouble than normal, she kind of stressed out at Shirley's over the weekend and so her ears were pretty saucy. She is such a sweetie pie. She never complains and I know it burns when I clean her ears. I only seen her complain to Fritz because he kept wanting to get into her ear holes and she told him point blank NO.

I miss you, I stayed close to my computer all night. What's the weather been like. Do you need anything? I was showing pictures to the littles tonight. They call nollie Nonnie and when I ask them who is in the pictures when you all were babies like them, you are cubby and teddy say mike is teddy. They have been real cuddle bugs the last couple of nights. Most of the time they just play in the evening with their toys, they been fighting over who sits next to me. I love you and miss you. Take care of yourself. Mom, XOXOXOXOX

Wed, 1 Dec 2010 05:33:38

yeah i do enjoy being able to talk to you like that... gets some things said alot faster

well they sent me a tracker link so it should be there around the 6th if you could just put it off to the side... i hope to not have it opened yet when i get home

yeah you told me about grandpa earlier...

im so sore from today and yesterday
mainly im tired so i think im gonna go to bed as well

From Mom, Wed 12/01/10 12:07 AM

Hey my Fav,

I am so glad to be able to chat with you a little bit tonight. I just wanted to let you know that I tried to calling that number again for the stuff you ordered and still just got an answering machine again. I don't know what's up with that. Maybe you should just cancel your order. I'm sure you can get this stuff from another place. If you want me to continue pursuing it I will. It looks like the transaction went thru your account. I just checked. Maybe we can track it now. I'm going to go back and read the email you sent me and look for the shipping info.

OMG, okay this is weird, I'm watching Lopez tonight, George Lopez's talk show and there's this band singing on the show and they are all playing instruments on what looks like iphones. Pretty crazy shit. One of them has a vote for pedro shirt on.

Grandpa was working on squeezing a ball in his hand today. He is now in the ward that does physical therapy.

Well it's time for me to get to sleep, I love you and miss you all the time. Mom, XOXOXOX
