Douhet: March 2009

Life, the Universe, and everything. Oregon Coast Day Two. We had another lovely lazy day at the coast. Nobody stepped outside the house until after lunch. At that time we went out shopping. We split the girls up for variety. Laila and Alyson went with Grandma and Grandpa and Kylee and I kept the youngest two. We went to the outlet mall in Lincoln City. We sadly discovered that there is no longer a toy store there. We missed the sunset tonight because we went into town for dinner but the horizon was still...

Douhet: June 2009
http://douhet.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Life, the Universe, and everything. We went to a friend of ours property who is just up the street from us. They have ten acres of Christmas trees sectioned off for paint balling. They've built two forts and they have ten guns and helmets for use. We just supplied the balls and CO2 for shooting. My only complaint was that we didn't get to shoot at each other that much. Ten acres provides plenty of places to hide. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Hawkins a` la mode.

Douhet: April 2010

Life, the Universe, and everything. We planted fruit trees this weekend. Well, I did. Since Kylee broke her foot two weeks ago she hasn't been able to get around very well. Kylee found a sale at a nursery in Redland. $8.00 a tree for bare root trees. We tilled up a large garden area last year and allowed space in the back for some fruit trees. We finally bought some this year. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Hawkins a` la mode. Awesome Inc. template. Powered by Blogger.

Douhet: Middle School
http://douhet.blogspot.com/2009/09/middle-school.html
Life, the Universe, and everything. I'm excited that Laila is getting older. This year she gets to go to school with a couple of cousins and several kids from church that she looks up too. The school is much further from home however. But the school is setup online so I can monitor her progress, as soon as I stop by the school during school hours so I can get the password and register for the access. September 3, 2009 at 9:45 PM.

Douhet: Halloween
http://douhet.blogspot.com/2009/11/halloween.html
Life, the Universe, and everything. We told the girls that we were going to wait until the Monday before Halloween to carve them. They asked us everyday if today was the day. Finally, Monday arrived and we let them have at it, kind of. I cut the top off of their pumpkins and we made them clean out the guts. They were a little squeamish at fist but eventually dug in with their hands. Friday night the 30th we had our ward Trunk or Treat at which time we were able to use our pumpkins, now Jack-o-lanterns.

Douhet: February 2009

Life, the Universe, and everything. This week I've had to reinstall software on all of our engineering machines. I'm not done yet but I'm about half way through now. It's a tedious process and most of my time is spent uninstalling the software I'm replacing. I've written routines to help with the install but not the uninstall, yet. And then fought hard for that one game of solitaire? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Hawkins a` la mode. Awesome Inc. template. Powered by Blogger.

Life, the Universe, and everything. Things are definitely different than when I was a kid. Growing up I always complained about writing reports on things like, "What Did You Do This Summer? What is the Government and How Does it Operate? And "Write About Something You Enjoy Doing". 500 words or more seemed impossible to write. Now we voluntarily write about these things in the form of a Blog and usually more than 500 words. Now it's "What Did You Do This Week? Living Close to Family. Hawkins a` la mode.

Douhet: Weekend Without Kylee
http://douhet.blogspot.com/2009/11/weekend-without-kylee.html
Life, the Universe, and everything. Kylee went to the beach with her friends. They usually go once a year just to get away and have adult girl time without constantly being interrupted by children asking for this or that or having to take care of their childish helpless husbands who can’t tie their own shoes let alone cook anything if their lives depended on it. When we finally made it home we all went out to the chicken coop to clean it out. It had been awhile since we had replaced the pine shavings...

Douhet: July 2009

Life, the Universe, and everything. Last night we went over to a members home for Family Home Evening. We've been having large Family Home Evenings the last several weeks with several of the families that live near us. We picked last nights location because of the slip and slide. It's about 60 feet long with a fairly large pool at the bottom. The water's a little muddy but that didn't stop anybody from going down. There were kids on this slide all night and we were there for about two hours. They both re...

Douhet: Seattle
http://douhet.blogspot.com/2010/02/seattle.html
Life, the Universe, and everything. I found out a couple of weeks ago that I was being signed up for a three day SQL Programming class here in Portland. I was being signed up with a co-worker who was hired to replace our database guy. Last week when they actually tried to sign us up it was discovered that the class had been canceled due to not enough people registering for it. My co-worker was planning on flying up on Saturday to stay with some friends, this was one of the reasons Kylee wanted to go, but...
