homebound.........and gagged ha ha ha

okay, so it's just the kids coming? I look forward to seeing them for sure! Ya keep us posted on exact dates when it's closer. I do have my moments as far as liking being home :) Just like any job, there are days you love, days you hate, and days that are just like any other day. My kids have enjoyed it (sometimes they wouldn't like me around so much lol). It sure is great to talk with you! Love and miss you all!!!!!!

July visit for the FL Banks kids

Hey Lynette! Great to hear from you and hear that all is well. At this point, my mom is planning on flying them out from approximately July 15 through the 31st; they have the big Robinson reunion the weekend of the 24th in Wyoming. I'll keep you posted on the exact dates. You still enjoying being at home or are you going crazy? Will write again soon but have to get back to work...Bethany hollered downstairs that you had posted so I have to see for myself...LOL! Love you, girl, and miss you more than we can say...

'bout time!

Hey, there is life out there! Ha Ha. I'm glad you decided that we needed to hear from you......Just joking but for awhile there I thought I was the only one on this blog. Glad to hear that everyone is doing well. We are all surviving out here. Kelsea finally got the test done to get her learners now if she would hold still for two seconds we could actually go and get it. She keeps busy with her friends and now it's closer to the end of school they are all getting spring fever. We got lagoon season passes for Christmas and finally got to use them a few weeks ago. It was chilly but fun, there were no lines and you weren't dying of heat. Kelsea and Brady went again yesterday and said it was fun but still cold. Can't wait for it to warm up at least to eighty.....I know I don't want to hear about it :) I'm just jealous. As far as all the boys, I guess all is well... we went camping last weekend and they had a blast with the four wheelers, hunting rabbits, and target shooting. I had fun shooting my 22, got a little stress out:). Ryans job is still going strong even with housing slowing down, he has a ton of commercial so no worries. I have possible jury duty, tomorrow I go to the courts to find out...wish me luck
Well that's about it......oh Stan I hope you got my message for your birthday cause I did remember and called but you were in Cali. at the time.
love, -Lynnette-
P.S. what are the dates you will be here in July?

Happy week after tax season...

Whew! It was a brutal one for us but we're just going to have to move forward. Things are as busy as ever. We tried to bid up the pie in the face and ended up winning it (though it really should have gone to one of Stan's students...I really feel bad about that). So Cody got him square in the back and Josie got him with a surprise water balloon two days later since she didn't get the honor!

Love you all! I'll post for me again later (ha, ha!)...

Hello? Is there anybody in there?

I can't decide if I'm relieved that everyone is more lame than I am or not! Just a note to let you know we are thinking of you. Josie's softball team is undefeated so far...very exciting! The girl has turned into a player. Stan is making a DVD that should be awesome...and having a great time doing it.

Cody just had his first track meet. Stan is coaching the distance runners for girls and boys, and his girls won (on the strength of the distance runners, I might add) and the boys only lost by 10 points....not too shabby for a first-time team from a brand-new school.

Stan is going to be in the Faculty Follies, a fund raiser for the American Cancer Society. They are auctioning the opportunity to hit him in the face with a pie, and he is inspiring their desire to do so with his well-known "Yo Mama" humor. The one he'll use on stage is: Yo mama is so voracious, she gonna eat the pie before you can throw it. (He loves using them to build vocabulary...lol...) We'll let you know if they hit him!

Bethany is getting ready to learn how to read steno (I told her I'd learn with her) and she's very nervous. But she will be awesome. Jake is busy with work as usual.

The kids can't wait to come to SL in July. Hope you all can kidnap them for a day or so...that way they can get a Banks fix. And we are busting to see everyone over the holidays...of course, it might be the next time we hear from anyone! (Does anybody feels guilty yet?!?)

Love you all...will write again soon...
