After some detective work, Luna Baima, Ryan's mother, called Mulligan with the good news Sunday night.

"She said, 'I think I have something that belongs to you.' And immediately it flashed through my mind that's what it was. I couldn't believe it," said Mulligan, who lost the rings when she was gardening.

The rings were originally lost on the other side of the yard from where they were discovered. Ryan found the rings even after eight to 10 truckloads of dirt had been removed from the yard in the past couple of weeks.

"I gave (Ryan) $50 in multiple bills and he was in the house throwing it up in the air and going, 'Woo!" Mulligan told WCVB.

Mulligan said she will have her long-lost rings repaired in time for her 50th wedding anniversary next year.

Meet the Teacher last night!!

2009-08-21T13:56:41Z

Blake seems to have 2 really nice teachers. Ronnie said, what happened, when he went to school all the teachers were old. Blake had 2 pretty teachers, no wonder he likes school. Mens out look on stuff...

Mom's worry about good teachers and dad's notice if their pretty or not.

Blake has Mrs Berryhill and Mrs Barrows, I really like both teachers and think he will do good in their class. Mrs. Berryhill ( is his homeroom, reading, and language teacher), Mrs Barrows (is his math, science, and social studies teacher). Blake was so shy last night that he wouldn't talk until we left. That will last about 1 day, for some reason he does that when he 1st meets someone and then is fine after that.

We should be hearing about football practice very soon also.

Excited

2009-08-14T14:48:55Z

One of Ronnie's friend's sold us his Wii for 150.00 plus 2 games. He didn't like and never played it. I just now need to learn how to operate everything. Blake loves my mom's (who never played video games before now) and is excited also to have one around the house. The means that I guess his big Santa gift will be a basketball goal.

We sign Blake up for football on Saturday morning. He can't wait for school to start in 2 weeks. I can't believe he will start the 3rd grade. He's growing up so fast. I need to get some new picture up loaded on here and facebook.

I'm 2 little items left for school supplies ( hand sanitizer and wipes). He's ready with new clothes, shoes, socks, and underwear.

Watch this You tube thing.

Internet Problems

2009-07-07T15:22:26Z

Right now, I can only get online at work. Thursday afternoon our Hughes Net Modem decided to quit on us. We are stilll waiting for the new modem to arrive. After 2 stressful phone calls to none english speaking people and arguing with them. Hopefully my new modem will come in today. I don't like being no able to get online when I want to.

The weekend was good. We picked 5 bushels of tomatoes on Thursday night, and Ronnie canned all weekend long. I have enought hot sauce for a years, and canned stewed tomatoes for soups and chilis for the winter. Tonight Ronnie is making some kind of hot pepper relish to finish using all the peppers we have at home.

I got a call from my stepmom at 445am yesterday morning that my grandfather found and she had died in her sleep. I guess that god did honor you last dying wish, "That was to see my dad for that last time before she died." My dad leaves and Guam and only gets to come home about every 4-5 yrs. He arrived in Shreveport Friday night late, and she died sometime early yesterday morning. Not quit the way we expected my dad's visit to go. She's been sick for a very long time (she's now in heaven looking down on us).

The family visitation is from 6p-8p on Friday and the funeral is at 10am on Saturday morning. My little brother should be here Friday night, he is on his way back to Germany from Afghanistan, then he will flying in for everything. I got a call this morning at 430am from him that for sure he will be in. I need to call my dad but it's to early to call, because there's not telling when they my grandfather to get to lay down last night. My grandparents had been married almost 60yrs. I believe that he will be lost without her.

Please, keep us all in your prayers.

I'm sure that this post is a bunch for rambling, I can even think straight for the since yesterday.

I will have to admitt that I've not been a huge Adam fan. But last night, he was totally awesome. Classic rock is defiantely his thing. The duet him and Allison did was wonderful also.

Poor Danny and Kris, they just weren't rocker types at all.

Just rain already. It's been 2 days now and it sprinkles and stops. I just want if you going to rain just do it and get it over with. I know we need rain but I want to see sunshine.

Blake played his 1st Spring Flag Football game on Saturday. They didn really good but we still lost 30-24. Blake is excited about planning. Ronnie has been working with him on different techniques to get him better and ready for the regular season also. Blake is playing on defense and I think that's the best place for him.

Blake has been unwilling at home to try and ride his bike without training wheels. Yesterday, he got on his bike at mom's and starting riding on 2 wheels without any trouble keeping it steady, however still working on breaking.

So far this week- lost 1st tooth, been fishing and caught over 10 fish in 4 trips, and know riding a 2 wheeler on his own. This mommy missed lots of firsts this week.

Tomorrow, it's supposed to be pretty, will take off the training wheels and take his bike to the park so he can ride.

I'm ready to see my baby tonight. He will always be my baby no matter how old he gets.

Blake's Gone!!!

2009-03-18T15:09:01Z

I took Blake to mom's on Friday night to spend the week with her and papaw. Ronnie is out of town working and I am completely at home alone again until Friday. Friday night I will be meeting them in Terrell to get Blake. Saturday morning is flag football spring signups, so Blake and I will go do it, then maybe I will take him to do something depends on the weather on what we do.

I really want to go see Madea goes to jail, but I'm sure that's not a kid movie. I'm not even sure that kid friendly movies on playing right now, the park would be a good option if the weather is nice.

So far, he's been fishing twice on Sunday with papaw, and going again this afternoon after papaw gets off of work. Yesterday, mom took him to play with my neice and nephew for a while. Today Blake is going to Granny's until papaw gets off. Mom has to be at the hospital probably all day and most of the evening, her best friend since 1st grade is having surgery today. The doctors found cancer in a kidney and are having to take it out, but are pretty confident they will be able to get it all. The surgery will take 6 plus hours. I will be saying prayers today that all will be ok. Everyone please send good vibes her way.

I will give my opinions on American Idol later today.

Lost Tooth

2009-03-17T02:17:09Z

Blake lost his 1st tooth yesterday at mom's after I left. I knew it was lose but wasn't ready to come out before I left yesterday. Blake pulled it out around 7pm last night. I had left 5.00 with mom just in case it came out, that way she was prepared for it. She has his tooth put for me to keep. I'm still waiting on a picture to be sent to me from her. I'd don't think she knows how to take one on her phone and text it to me. I'm hoping they take one and download to email me soon.

I'm so excited for him but upset for me. I wasn't there to see it first or to be the tooth fairy for his 1st tooth.

Show and Tell

Here's is a group picture for a bunch of us right after High School Graduation on a trip to Cancun 1990.

I'm the far left with short hair and don't look a thing like this now. I was pretty skinny back then.

It has been almost 19yrs since we took this trip.

Need Input

2009-02-24T19:10:05Z

I need to know from other mother's what the going rate for a lost tooth is?

Can everyone email me and let me know what you do with you children for lost tooth rate?

1st lose tooth

2009-02-23T19:22:29Z

Blake came to me last night to tell me his tooth was lose. I asked him to show me and it is finally is lose. The tooth fairy will arrive for the 1st time in our house sometime this week it looks like.

He's so excited.

SItting here getting ready for to put Blake to bed in about 30 minutes. SInce he was out all week sick. All his school work is due and in his backpack.

I need to get in the kitchen and get the taco soup going, but can't decided if I want to start it tonight or in the morning before I leave for work. It sounds so good for tomorrow night for supper.

Nothing is on tv to watch tonight, so right now have got it on The Lizzie McGuire Movie on Disney channel.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Blake's had the Flu

2009-02-18T22:56:38Z

I'm glad I ended up taking him to another doctor yesterday, because indeed he has the Flu. Ronnie's home with him today because he is still running fever for the 6th day. This morning his fever was 102.2. I ready for my baby to be well again.

He isn't released to go back to school until Friday or Monday. I called his teacher to have of his work sent home with a little girl that lives next door to us. According to her, Blake is the 2nd kid out of his class alone to have the flu this week. Last week they had one out with pnemounia.

Blake will be missing his last basketball game because he doesn't need to play, even if he's not running fever. He coughs sound terrible also. I can't find his coaches number to call her to advise.

Sick child

2009-02-17T14:27:11Z

This makes the 2nd day I've been home from work with a sick child. Took him in yesterday to the doctor and was told that it was just a cold. How can he then still have fever for the 5th day.

He missed his basketball game on Saturday because of him being sick.

I just want to get him well enough to feel better and break the fever.

Post Valentine's Day

2009-02-15T16:28:31Z

We have a wonderful day, even though Blake is really sick and got bad last night.

We started the day going to a the circle cafe for breakfast. We then moved over to Longview and ended up get this tv for our bedroom.

Super excited about this.

Blake got a new pair from boots, jeans, and a belt at Cavender's. Then he got 5 new books at Books a Million, and finally Space Buddies from Best Buy. Ronnie took me out to eat at Cheddar's for supper also.

We had the best day as a family.

I will most likely be taking Blake to the doctor tomorrow morning, so he will get better. He was up almost all night long. He is currently asleep on the couch and I'm letting him rest.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day.

Still Working

2009-02-10T02:05:07Z

I work my butt off today. One of the girls is out of the office until Wednesday. I have been taking care of the all the corporate clients while she out, and still trying to take care of all my leisure clients. I just finished working on the a bunch of college students that are going to Mexico for Spring Break. It starts at 18 and has finally ended with 16, and I had to give one my cellphone so I could get all the payments made before they cancelled tonight.

I got Blake's Valentine present in today that I ordered by using hertz agent gold points. I ordered TMNT ds game for Blake. I still have to get him a box of candy. Ronnie and I are going out to eat some where for Valentine's.

I have a massive headache that I've got to try and get rid of.
