This happy guy is my stepson Matt and his wife Brandy's pup Dozer, get it Bulldog, bull dozer??!!  He's only 10 weeks here, at the Father's day parade.  He's so cute and caused quite a crowd to gather. 

Liz is now available to come with me to babysit.  She is finally done with her play stuff and the job she may or may not get isn't until the end of the month.  A friend of the kids always watches the parade from our house and she works down the street at the small family style restaurant.  She is leaving then and offered to train Liz to replace her as the owner only hires direct referrals.  This would be an ideal job for her, the hours are 5 to 7 and some weekends, then she could keep the job after school.  I waited tables for a time and the money can be pretty good. 

These are the friend's twins with Dakota ... I wonder if he thinks they are future dating material!??

Poor Tracey is getting crabby and tired so we are picking up the boys this afternoon so they can come to the campground.  Jacob has the memory of a elephant and asked me everyday if he could go build jumps in the sand with grandpa.  I am going to offer to keep them for the night.  Let it be known that I am not a saint!  My mother taught me that family was about helping each other out.  Without my dear mother my poor children would have been little criminals.  I got divorced right after I had my middle kid, moved in with my folks and proceeded to have Liz.  I was a mess for a few years.  And fortunately for me and my kids my parents never, ever gave up on me.  I owe them much and the way I was brought up you always help out family.  Besides I love chilren, they are so funny and sometimes make more sense then most adults! 

Hopefully when I am old lady drooling in a nursing home one of these little guys comes and visits!  Or at least brings me a rag!
